"BuiId-Up"G Good News
For Suffering Women

Much Of women's periodic dis
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms of functional d%ysmenor-
rheo due to malnutrition r helped
by CARDUI.
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
often aids digestion; helps build
strength, energy, resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until "the
time" has passed. Women have
used CARDUI more than so years.

Cotton growers belonging to Get

to use the free CHASING and market
news service of the Agricultural
Marketing Service for their 1910 crops
are advised by j. w. Willis, extern
| sion cotton specialist Of Mississippi
State College, to file their applica-
tons as soon after their cotton is
| planted as may be possible.
Applications for the free CHASING
and market news SERVICE" Willis
said, will be considered in the order in
which they are received after allow
, -nce has been made for the differ.
Mt planting dates over the cotton
belt" Last year the Service approved
applications OF 918 improvement
groups. and the number Of applica-
tons filed this year may again run
over the 900 mark.
Another advantage Of applying early
is that applications car be acted upon
in plenty of time for approved groups
to receive their shipping tags and
other supplies. Last season some OF
the groups whose applications were
late did not receive their supplies
until after their first cotton had been
picked and ginned. This meant they
were unable to have samples from
| their early ginnings .classed.
Instructions for making applica
ton and forms for applying can be
obtained by addressing abe Agrtcu.-

Paul was also grateful for what Gcd
had done ror others, and rfns was a sign
of still greater gratitude than merely
thanking God for what had been done
for himself This was shown when he
said:
II thank my God always on your

everything ye are enriched by Him"
Here then is an outline of what might

I thank God for what He has

AFL's President
Raps Draft Bill

WASHINGTON-President Will
lam Green. of American Fedora
ton of Labor, declared his opposi-
ton to the pending CONSUMPTION
bill. He recommended that the
army attempt to build up its
strength by system of voluntary
enlistments.
I'VE do not regard the Burke
Wadsworth bill T. as a well plan
ned measure" he said in a state
ment. I'VE cannot, therefore. give
it our approval and support"
He reiterated that the AFL
stands solidly behind the present
defense program, but that he be-
lieved the government should first
try to raise an army of 1900, 900
men through system of volun-
tary enlistment.
American labor would respond
to such a program Fundamentally
and enthusiastically" he said.
Green's statement was the first
official word on the AFL's attitude
toward the controverted draft bill.
The rival congress of industrial
organizations, through President
John L. Lewis. previously had an
nounced its opposition to the
measure.

SHINING from her eyes vas an ex-
ample Of what marriage could be.
Raoul vas Ike his father she
had said. The husband who after
more than thirty years Of mar
rage still sent yellow roses once
a week.
His affection and respect were
obvious In the wav be greeted her
on his return. What more could
a woman want And Sheila felt
her heart soften towards RaouI
who kissed her before his parents
although his eyes were haggsrd
with uncertainty.
Any marriage has its prob
lens" Sheila thought. Ours
could be worked out. I'm hurt now
but III get over it,"
And Raoul sensing her reaction
instantly became more gay. When
his parents urged her To stay for
dinner she consented. II was
happy family evening they spent
together and on the way home
when Raoul took her hand in his
she did not repulse him.
You have forgiven me. ouer-
ida ?" he asked.
Il love you" Sheila answered.
Passed Milestone
II seemed 10 her that they had
passed milestone. Perhaps
never again. certainly not until
after they were married would
she feel the same towards him.
She had suffered too much.
But when had the course of
true love ever run smoothly?
Wasn't there always something to
face, certain amount of disillu-
sionment,
II took time to achieve any
satisfactory relationship. Years to
build up a happy marriage, the
kind of marriage Raoul's parents
unquestionably had.
She had not forgotten her de-
cision to be more independent. She
would see Olive and Mildred again
and would suggest that Raoul
meet them. The way to avoid los
ing ones personality was to re-
fuse to become nothing but an
echo. Because she was in a for
eign country whose customs were
all strange to her Sheila had
seemed more of clinging vine
than she really was.
But she would prove to Mildred
Burton that one could marry an
Argentine man and stin remain
an individual.
These ideas were all in her mind
qualifying her statement but
naturally Raoul knew nothing of
them.
She would be tactful about it
and she would not give him up but
never again would she be so COM
pletely at his mercy.
When she reached her room
however she found an air mail
letter which made her waver in
her decision like a reed swaying
in the wind.
