Lady Says She Was Unable

Took Cardui, "a
Wonderful Help"

In telling how she was benefited
by taking Cardui, Mrs. Pearlie yell
key, of Ceredo, w. Va, says:
"At one time, I had very Sc
rious spell which left we weak. At
times, 1 would suffer such intense
pains across my back and in my
side that 1 could hardly stand it.
IT endured this over and over
again. Every time the pains were
worse than before.
81 was in despair because nothing
helped me. I tried several remedies,
but I continued to suffer.
"One day, I read about Cardui.
Other women told how they had
gotten strong and well after TAX
ing it, so 1 was inspired to try it.
I have often been thankful for that
day, for after / had taken Cardui
for awhile, I felt like a different
human being.
1T did not seem possible, but I
did not suffer the old, torturing
pains, and really felt well. I can
heartily recommend Cardui, for I
know how much I improved after L
took it. Since then, 7 have taken
it several times when I have need

BLAST SECRECY
WALL OFF ROAD
DEALS. IS PLEA
Carmel Man Urges Publicity
for Highway Office at
House Hearing.

A demand that the concrete wall
of secrecy be blasted from delibera-
tons of the state highway commits
sion and that. the people be permit
ted to know what was being done
with the millions of dollars appro-
priated for the commission was
made by State Representative
Charley Y. Foster, Carmel, at a
meeting of the house roads commit
tee Monday afternoon.
Foster appeared to speak in behalf
of the resolution he has introduced
requiring the highway commission
to admit taxpayers and newspaper
men to all meetings of the commits
sion.
He declared that he did not de-
sire to assume an obstinate or can
tankerous attitude" but that the
best interests of both the commits
sion and the public could only be
served by permitting representatives
of the press to attend sessions.
Newspaper men appeared to ex-
plain their interest in the measure
They told how when the Indiana
commission was dealing with the
Kentucky commission for Kentucky
to assume half of the cost of the
Evansville Ohio river bridge, Indi-
ana newspaper men, after waiting
for hours in the commission Offices
were given slips of paper saying
that: "An enjoyable meeting" was
held by the two commissions while
the people of Kentucky were
promptly notified through their
newspapers that the deal had been
contaminated.
Foster also explained that the
newspapers we're the sole source of
information of the public, and that
in order to properly protect and
safeguard public interest the resolu-
tions should be adopted.
Indications are that divided re-
port will be made by the committee.

impress themselves most forcibly
upon your memory. They are the
ones most before your eyes. But
credit must not be forgotten for the
other members of the company, it
is large one but every speaking
part is handled with the same hui
man touch that SO characterizes the
work of the four main characters.
There are perhaps a few who do
not yet know the story of 1.-The Mer-
chant of Venice For those who
have been so lax in their reading or
playgoing will attempt to give an
idea of what it is all about.
BasSanio is in love with Portia,
a rich heiress, and his love finds
approval in the eyes of the girl. But
Portia is bound by the wishes of her
dead father to choose her husband
by a means he selected before
death. At Portals home are three
little caskets, one Of gold, one OF
silver and one of lead. In one Of
the caSkets is the charm needed by
the aspiring lover to claim the hand
of the fair lady. Each lover gets
one trial and is allowed to pick what
he thinks is the right casket. If
he is right he wins the maiden and
If wrong he has to leave immedi-
ately. Thus far all have been mis-
taken in their choice.
Bassanio wishes to try his fortune
but lacks means Of making the right
kind of showing on the journey to
Portals home. So his friend An
tonic, thinking he is safe, borrows
the necessary money from Shylock,
the Jewish money lender, and leans
it to Bassanio. The bargain with
Shylock is that Antonio must part
with a pound of flesh if he is I'M
able to pay back the money in the
allotted time.
Antonio'S fortunes sink and the
time agreed upon passes. Shylock
demands his payment, and, accord
ing to law, is about to get it when
Portia steps in and saves the day.
The story is far richer than this
short resume, and I have left out
innumerable details, but if you don't
know the play it will be all the
more enjoyable when you see it, and
if you do know the play my sketch
gives you the right to feel superior.
At English's today and WedneS-
day.

HUDSON BAY RAIL WAY
PUSHED TOWARD FINISH
Western Farmer Will Get Cheaper
Route to Europe.

BIZ Times Special
THE PAS, Manitoba, Feb. S.
Another milestone in the history of
Canada's northland has passed with
the opening of the new station at
this point on the Hudson bay rail-
way, now under construction by the
Canadian National Railways to Ft.
Churchill, on the bay.
The next great milestone In the
steady progress and development
within the north will be when the
steel rails finally reach salt water
at Churchill, said DR.. II. H. Elliott,
commissioner of north ern Manitoba,
speaking at the luncheon which in
augurated the new station.
1t was from The Pas as headquar-
tiers that the Canadian National re-
sumed the construction of the Hud-
son bay railway about two years
ago. It is expected that the road
will be completed by the end of
1929, affording the western farmer
a shorter and cheaper road to Eu-
rope for his wheat than exists by
any of the present routes.
