A weak, undernourished condition
■often enables functional dysmenor-
rhea to get a foothold; thus leads
to much of woman’s suffering from
headaches, nervousness, and other
periodic discomfort.
CARDUI’S principal help for such
distress comes from the way it
usually stimulates appetite; in-
creases flow of gastric juice; thus
aids digestion; helps build energy,
strength, physical resistance to
periodic pain for many.
Another way, many women find
help for periodic distress: Take
CARDUI a few days before and dur-
ing “the time.” Women have used
CARDUI for more than 50 years!

It was reported that a number

While it was warm the other day
we got out and planted 8 varieties

If you havn’t planted English peas,
better get them in soon as the

good varieties to plant now.

time to set more fruit trees, berries

PE LEE NEWS
By Mrs. Lou Jensen
PE LEE, Feb. 25 — We have
been having another rain. Just little
over one-half inch, but that’s a lot
of rain on top of what is already not
exactly soaked in. -
Mr. H. N. Smith, Mrs. R. N. Jen-
sen and R. Jinkens are having an-
other spell of cold. There was no
school today (Monday) for the
tenth grade because the teacher was
sick in bed.
Some of the folks managed to do
some plowing and put in a little
garden during the dry up before this
rain came.
Mr. F. C. Smith and family visited
with Mrs. Smith’s aunt, who lives
at Jefferson. Mrs. Nash also spent
the "week-end with her sister. Mrs.
Nash is Mrs. Smith’s sister, who
lately came here from California.
Elder Butterfield, a returned Mis-
sionary from Jamaica rolled in here
with their nice trailorhouse to spend
a couple of weeks with the church
here.
There is being quite an objection
raised against the President for ad-
vocating, giving pension to all over
65 years but look at the money and
confusion saved by this. There will
be no need of all those men running
around to see that no one gets more
than he ought to get and if he
spends. the money right, etc. And
if the government is going to pay
a pension to those above 65 it is
nothing but right to give it to all
alike, otherwise those that get the
pension are' in truth just “paupers”

The writer called in most every
home in the community Wednesday

Tho none of a serious nature. Mrs.

other day, and perhaps we will have
better weather.
