Pendergrass, Ga.—Airs. Della lying,
of this piace, in a recent letter, says;
"For five or six years, I suffered agon-
ies with womanly troubles.
Often, I couldn't sit up more than a
few minutes at a time, and if I stood
on my feet long. I would faint.
I took Cardut, and it helped me Im-
mediately. Now, I can do my work all
the tlpie, and don't suffer like I did."
Take Cardul when you feel ill in any
way—weak, tired, miserable, or under
the weather. Cardul is a strength-
building tonic medicine for women.
It has been found to relievo pain and
distress caused by womnnly troubles,
en<
and is an excellent medicine to have on
hand at all times.
Cardul acts on the womanly consti-
tution, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating
the womanly organs.
Its half century of success is due to
merit. It haa done good to thousands.
Will you try It? It may be just what
you need. Ask your druggist about
Cardul. He will recommend it

the traveler first looks out on gardens
of cinnamon and fields of grass. Then
the broad Kelani river comes In sight
rYom the forest of palms, grassy
slopes come down to the edge of the
water. Floating down the stream are
native barges—two canoes joined to
gether by a sort of raft and covered
over. Kingfishers flash over the river
and hover among the scented white
blossoms of the mangoes. On the
green pools float pink and
white tilies; a red flamingo
rises from among them and spreads
its broad wings against the blue sky
Buffaloes stand, up to their necks, In
the mud of the swamps.
Every minute the scenery become*
more beautiful. There are high ridges
covered with palm trees and between
the ridges valleys of rice fields. You
see sowing and reaping going on at
the same time. Up to their ankles In
watey the natives, barelegged, walk
behind the patient buffaloes, yoked to
their primitive plows. Here a group
of men are mending the little banks
of the terraced fields; there women
with sickles are cutting the ripened
crop; in a little stream some boys
are bathing, holding to the branches
«f the mangrove trees.
Scenes Almost Unreal.
The reflection of the palm trees
In the water, the shadow of the clouds
chasing the sunjlght across the sub
merged fields and the bright costumes
of the natives combine to form a pic-
ture so lovely that it seems almost
unreal to western eyes. The train
passes a tea garden shaded with rub-
ber trees. Women with bright shawls
over their heads and huge baskets on
their flacks, with shoulders and urms
bare, are working among the gleaming
shrubs that come up to their waists.
The light trunks of the rubber trees
make an artistic background to the
industrious scene.
The train crosses the main street,
of a native village; on both sides is
n Jungle of cocoanut palms. In little
clearings among the trees are the
huts of the Cinghalese—small white
houses, with brown tiled roofs and
Through the broad leaves of the wild
banana you see the mountain carriage
road passing through a sort of cave
or hole cut in a spur of the mountain-
side. A native tradition was that the
Kandyan country would be conquered
by invaders who came through a rock,
Tunnel Through Rock,
and when the road was built for mili-
tary purposes this rock was purposely
tunneled that the natives might be
awed by the fulfillment of the proph-
ecy.
Along the banks of rock-strewn
mountain rivers, along hillsides cov-
ered with jungle, through cacao and
rubber plantations the train comes to
Kandy, the popular hill resort of the
merchants in Colombo and of the low-
country planters
Here we are 1,600 feet above the
sea; Xjuwara Eltya is nearly 5,000
feet higher still up the mountains.
As the train ascends we find our-
selves passing through a region de-
voted to tea gardens. It is the very
center of the industry. We have left
behind us the tropical scenery. From
the carriage window we no longer see
palms or bamboos or the brilliant
green of the rice fields. The views
grow more and more enchanting.
There is a glimpse of the distant In-
dian ocean, a vision of Adam's peak,
the famous mountain of pilgrimage.
A waterfall daRhes down the moun-
tainside up which we crawl in amaz-
ing curves. Through a forest the
train comes to Nuwara Eliya, the
chief pleasure resort of Ceylon. It
is in the- midst of a vast plateau
of jungle grass These highland plains,
which are often covered with Rhodo-
dendron trees and with wild flowers,
are called in Ceylon patanas They
form a striking feature of the high-
land scenery and the traveler arriv-
ing at Nuwara Eliya and looking
across the rolling grass country to
the encircling hills, covered with drift-
ing miBt, might well suppose himself
to be standing on a Scottish moor.
From here it Is easy to climb to the
summit of Peturutalagala and so to
reach the highest point in Ceylon. It
