Lady's Painful Trouble
Helped By Cardui

Why do Sc many women take Car
dui for the relief Of functional pains
at monthly times? The answer Is
that they want results such as Mrs.
Herbert W. Hunt, Of Hallsville, Texas,
describes. She writes: MY health
wasn't good. I suffered from cramp-
ing. My pain would be 50 intense 1t
would nauseate me. I would just
drag around, so sluggish and do
less.' My mother decided to give me
Cardui. I began to mend. That tired,
sluggish feeling was gone and the
pains disappeared. I can't praise
Cardui too highly because I know
it helped me-" II Cardui does not
help YOU, consult a physician.

Question: When should l select
my seed Irish potatoes for plant
ing next year?
Answer: Seed potatoes should
lbe selected at harvest time. Go
through the field just before gen.
eral digging and dig separately a
large number of hills, keeping the
potatoes of each hill to themselves.
Select the seed potatoes from those
hills having the largest number Of
uniform tubers that are typical of
the variety. Selection of the seed
potatoes from the stored CROP
gives no assurance of good yields
nor freedom from disease.

Worlds Largest StreamIined Engine

N,H worlds largest streamlined locomotive has just been
L put into service by the Canadian National Railways, the
largest railway system in North America. Absence Of smoke
stack, bell and cowcatcher are features of this giant of the
wheels built to plans designed by the National Research
Council of Canada and engineers of the company after ex-
haustive wind-tunnel tests with models. The engine, one of
four, to haul passenger trains between Montreal and Chicago.
has an all-over length of 81 feet 7A inches, weighs in excess
of 65oooo pounds and can develop a speed exceeding 100 miles
per hour. The driving wheels have a diameter of II inches
and an idea of their size is gained by comparing them with
the men shown looking at them in the inset. The smokestack
and bell are concealed by the strean-ining and a stream of
air, drawn through a louvre at the top of the engine front.
lifts the smoke into the air and carries it clear of the train.
The automatic coupler on the front of the locomotive dis
appears behind a door when not in use. The whistle energies
from the streamlining as required by the railway regulations.
