Cardui is vegetable extract, con-

made from indicating medicinal herbs
with gentle, tonic, strengthening eff

upon the system in general. It's users
have testified to its. special value at
the time of entering womanhood at
maturity and at the time of the

For over 40 years, Cardui has been
tested in use by thousands of women
who have written to tell of the great
benefit they have received from it.
For over 600 years, medical authori-
ties have recommended one of the
principal ingredients of Cardui in the
treatment of certain female COM
plants.

BRASS TACKs VS.. BoMBAsT

To say that Ruth and Jack had
helped around the house would be
putting it mildly. True, it had not
been the easiest thing in the world to
get them started in the early morn
ing, following big, hearty break
fast, but with promises from Uncle
Ted of story that night and ice
cream for dessert, they took to their
work and were hard at it all day.
Jack cut the grass, dug out the weeds
from the flower garden and trimmed
the edges with a knife, until the
yard looked short of beautiful.
Ruth had helped her mother in the
house. First there was the busting
aid cleaning and then getting bread
to bake and cleaning the kitchen.
Yes, and she washed the windows in
her own room and made all the beds.
"You kidies have worked today
remarked Uncle Ted as he watched
them eating their supper. "Anyone
would know from your appetites that
you hadn't been sitting around doing
nothing"
So at bedtime, keeping his promise
Uncle Ted gathered the kiddies a
round him and began his story
"You know, children, there are
many times l could tell you about,
but there is one subject that really
should interest US all at this time.
That is politics and the trend of the
campaign. General Dawes made a
point in his speech accepting the vice
presidential nomination that stuck
out above the rest Of speech, although
it all was filed with splendid mater
ial. That point was this: This is a
campaign of brass tacks - not bonn
bast."
"What does that meant" asked
Jack.
"It means, Jack, that the Republi-
cans are active and talking in words
that need no explanation. Brass
tacks is an expression that means
there can be no misunderstanding
as to what is being said or done.
When man gets down to brass
tacks' h edeals with facts, not theor-
les. Bombast, is defined in Wedster's
dictionary as 'stufing, padding,
high-sounding words, inflated style,
ETC. In other words it is just the
opposite of brass tacks.
