 Many thousands of women have been saved from needless suffering and i'll health because they have learned the value of Cardui, either from their mothers, as in the case of Mrs. Stan cil, or from experienced women friends and relatives.
 Other women, who have had no one to advise them, can find out for them selves what a great help it can be to them in building up and strengthening rundown systems, by simply giving Cardui fair trial.

When you fight film on teeth

Again we urge you to see what benefits come through this new way of teeth cleaning.
 To men and women winter teeth, to children new protection. To all a sense of cleanliness they never knew before.
 Let this free test bring to your home a new dental era.
 Film keeps teeth uncIean
 Film is that viscous coat you feel. Under old methods, much of 1t cings and stays. Food stains, etc, discolor it, then it forms dingy coats. That is what makes 60 many teeth unsightly.
 Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in 1t. They, with tar tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
 Very few people who brush teeth In old ways escape those film caused troubles.

ATLANTIC COMPRESS
COMPANY BANKRUPT

ATLANTA, March 22.-With as
sets given at $4,841 ,935,07, and IL
abilities as $2,945, 99739, the Ship
pers Compress company, with prln-

Hints
by the
Father of
Physical
Culture

Only a little self-denial (Which
quickly becomes a pleasure) is re-
quired of a girl who would make
herself attractive. When the
terms beauty" and Health" be-
come Synonymous in her mind, to
attain her object she will be will
ing to sacrifice some pleasures of
the lower senses-such as comes
from eating chocolate creams, the
absorbing of unlimited ice-cream
sodas, lobster and oyster suppers,
and rich animal food in general.
She will then no more dream of
swallowing harmful things than of
wearing an unbecoming dress, or
a hat which does not harmonic
with her hair or complexion.
Nor will she be content with
negative requirements alone. She
will inaugurate a system of exer-
else of at least ten 10 twenty min
utes daily, followed by a cold bath,
in addition to her walks and out
door pastiMes, for this is the best
of all practices for keeping the
blood pure and the internal organs
clean and in perfect working or
der. Every famous beauty and
every actress celebrated for her
personal charm know this secret,
and they faithfully persist in
these morning exercises and cold
baths for the sake of the resultant
youthfulness and beauty that these
impart to face and form.
The skin is one of the
organs by means of which the
body is relieved of waste. Its
depurating action is unremitting
and thus there is constantly exuded
on the surface waste matters.
Hence, unless frequently bathed,
the skin suffers in appearance,
firstly by reason of it's uncleanli-
ness; secondly. becoming clogged
up, the wastes are not readily
eliminated from the blood. which
becomes impure. In consequence
the whole system suffers, the skin
taking on a yellowish tinge, and
the complexion becoming duh and
sallow and coarsened by enlarged
pores.
But. perhaps, one of the most
valuable of baths for the skin, one
that never fails to improve it's
texture and color, is a bath that
does not require water, the friction
bath. 1t stimulates the circula-
ton to the skin and thoroughly
cleanses it. The friction-bath is
self-applied by means of two soft
bristled brushes. Beginning at
the forehead, the face and neck
are thoroughly brushed, then each
arm In turn working upward from
the hand to the shoulder then US
ing both brushes together.
