"Build-Up" for Women
Helps Avoid Distress
Do you suffer periodically from
headaches, nervousness, irritabil-
ity, cramp-like pain?
If so, here's good news! These
may be symptoms of functional
dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition,
often helped by CARDUI.
CARDUI usually increases appe-
tite and the flow of gastric juice;
so aids digestion and helps build up
strength, energy, physical resist-
ance. Resultformany is tew periodic
distress. Or you may find this also
helps ease your periodic discomfort:
Take CARDUI a few days before
and during "the time." 50 years of
use and popularity invite your
confidence in CARDUI.

THAT OTHER MOTHER
My eyes were made to overflow
when we received a card from one
of our children, saying that other
Mother. I don't think I ever heard
the word, that Other Mother used
before. It carried me back seventy
five years, when mother left me
an orphan boy. Father, just out of
a four-year fight, made just a sub-
stitute for Mother. He soon found
the Other Mother. She cared for
me so tenderly. I still appreciate
her, the other Mother. Sometimes
step-mothers are not appreciated,
and not given justice. Not always
intended, but negligence.

Local Citizen Urges
Kildare Cemetery
Be Beautified
If Confucious were to visit Kil-
dare cemetery, I feel sure we could
quote him as saying "People of Kil-
dare, wonderful opportunity awaits
citizens who cooperate with desire
that cemetery can be made into at-
tractive place rather than public
disgrace."
Your rambling reporter discover
ed several new species of human
race not heretofore listed, namely:
What's it to me's? Why should I
care ? What can I do's ? Let some
one else start it's? Tell it to the
farmers, the merchants, the Lion's
the Legions and the Women's club.
The usual Spring cleaning day
will soon be here, but why wait un-
til May 30, Decoration Day—drop
by and clean your own lot, and
while there do another plot of
ground of some absent friend or
relative.
Kildare is proud of its growth
and the many nice things coming
our way, such as lovely school, bet-
ter roads, and soon the electricity,
and let us keep pace with these
things by keeping our cemetery, a
thing of beauty, rather than a weed
patch.

gia Waters wishes to express their

IT happens to the best of us. We
all like to step out in something
a little finer, a little smarter, a bit
more able, than the other fellow has.
So when you can do that—and get a
better buy in the bargain— why not
step right up to the head of the class?
Just look around you. Can you name
a sleeker, trimmer, neater, smarter-
looking car than this 1940 Buick?
Do you see anything on the road that
can keep pace with its husky, valve-
in-head straight-eight engine—Dyna-
flash patterned for thrift, and elec-
trically balanced after assembly to
brand-new smoothness?
Ever see anything slicker than the
way its soft, rear coil springs float
the body serenely along, even though
the wheels be dancing?
You won't find a bigger car any-
where at its price, measured bumper
to bumper, nor one with a frame as
heavy and stout.
You won't find cooling systems
sealed under pressure, Fore-N-Al't
Flash-Way Direction Signals with
automatic cut-off, nor as many cost-
free "extras" included in the price.
In short, here's your one best 1940
yardstick—but that's only half of it.
Here's big value—within your reach!
Current pricesf begin at $895 ★for
the business coupe, delivered at
Flint, Mich.; transportation based
on rail rates, state and local taxes
(if any), optional equipment and
accessories—extra as usual.
Net of all that is delivered-to-you
prices so close to lowest-price-field
figures that you'll get most of the
difference back in the higher trade-
in valueyour Buick will have later on.
So go ahead—satisfy that itch to be
"tops"! First step is to see the near-
est Buick dealer.
