LAND, EN- ROUTE TO CALLAO,
Peru, Dec. 3.-The warm welcome
received by President-elect Herbert
Hoover on the first South American
call of his good will tour was in the
minds of all on board today as the
Maryland headed along the barren
South American coast toward Callao,
Peru.
The Maryland is due at Callao
Wednesday morning, ana the HOO

changed Spanish "embrazos' in the
characteristic Latin-American man
ner OF saying a SympaCnetlc rare
we'll. Ayora then left to board the

sailors and khaki-clad marines
standing with their shining rifles
at present"
After clearing the Maryland, the

stood by with the Ecuadorian ensign
hoisted. The Maryland gave a FL

Behind the pageantry, diplomatic
minds did swift work in effecting

It was evident that Hoover, Ayora,
and their associates intimately dis
cussed the entire situation doubtless
including the Ecuadorean project for
a $6,OOOOOO public improvements

TOO WEAK TO ENJOY

Dor Suggested Cardui,
and 1t Helped Her.

II had been very much run
down." says Mrs. Hannah Hodges
Of Livingston, KY. st could not do
my work, and was so weak I could
not do any visiting with my friends.
In fact, I was in such condition
that, when they called on me, it
was too great an effort to talk to
them.
Il had dreadful pains up and
down my legs. At times this would
become so acute it was as bad as
toothache. My legs swelled, and
sometimes I could hardly put my
feet to the floor.
Often I had headache, and had
to lie on the bed days at a time. I
had a dreadful bearing down feel
ing across my abdomen that : can
not describe, and if stood on my
feet for any length of time, this
became very much worse.
"Cardui had been recommended
to me by several of my friends, but
somehow I had never gotten right
down to the point of taking it. How
ever, my health had gotten so bad,
something had to be done, so one
day, when one of my neighbors said,
I wish you would try Cardui,' I said,
Well, I WILL and did, and it has
made the difference between a sick
woman and well woman in me. 1
would say to every woman who is
suffering from womanly troubles,
Try CardUi.'"
