The Voice of Now!
It is the present, the today, the NOW
in which we are interested. Shakes-
peare wisely says:
“Tomorrow never yet
On any living mortal rose or set.”
It is the printed page which deals
most intimately and with the greatest
detail in the movements of the present.
It is THEgVOlCE OF NOW, proclaim-
ing to the world the things that are
happening today. The Government of
the United States is NOW gravely con-
cerned in certain aspects of the war in
Europe, and has had thrust on it sev-
eral serious international problems
which are NOW in process of solution.
The American farmer is NOW inter-
ested in this titanic struggle, for his
interests are being affected by it to-
day, and will be tomorrow, and he
wants to keep in close touch with it
NOW.
EVERYBODY is interested in the
cotton crop from the time of its plant-
ing to the days of its harvesting and
marketing. They want to know “the
NOW” in all that pertains to the great
Southern staple; they want to know
“the NOW” of all other agricultural
markets, the latest in modern farming,
the facts of the warehousing problem,
ami all else that pertains to the prog-
ress of the times in every theatre of
life.
The tens of thousands of men and
women who know the Semi-Weekly
Farm News know it is “THE VOICE
OF NOW,” telling in direct and posi-
tive tones of what is going on at home
and abroad.
“NOW is the time,
NOW is the hour.”

Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
rom this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
pears, with womanly troubles, and during
his time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
ill. At times, I would have severe pains
■ my left side.
The doctor was called in, and hit treat-
nent relieved me lor a while, but I was
toon confined to my bed again. After
hat, nothing seemed to do me any good,
had gotten to weak I could not stand,
ind I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
2ardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com-
nenced taking It Prom the very first
loot, I could tell ft was helping me. I
am now walk two miles without its
iring me, and am doing my work.”
If vou are all run down from womanly
roubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
2ardui. the woman's tonic. It has helped
nore than a million women, in its SO
fears of wonderful success, and should
ntrely help you, too. Your druggist has

t will do. Ask him. He will recom-
nend tt. Begin taking Cardui today.
