Cardui Starts Missouri
Lady On Road To
Health Again.
Mrs. T. G. Harris, of
Clarksburg, Mo., writes:
“For two years, I was
in very poor health, almost
past going, so weak and
run-down. I tried to make
the most of what little
strength I had left, but
I could find nothing to
start me on the road to
health again until, one day,
I decided to try Cardui.
“I took Cardui for sev-
eral months and was very
much gratified with the
results. I began to do my
own work again. My color,
which had been pale and
sallow, became natural.
A song in the old school sing-1
ing books wailed most dolefully
about “parents don’t visit the
schools.” Several verses were de-
voted to the fact that parents I
visited their neighbors, their rela-1
fives, went to market, but the
eternal refrain moaned, “but
parents don’t visit the school.”

ten. according to recent research
on the facts of church attendance.
Church membership has fallen
off within a decade that the re-
searchers are reluctant to issue
actual figures, believing they
would be too alarming. They do,
however, give causes.
They mention the economic bur-
den of helping support a church,
the lower moral tone of the na-
tion following the World War,
and the trouble of transferring
church membership.
That last cause is not elaborat-
ed upon but there is more to it
than appears on the surface.
People do move these days.
They do not live, marry, rear
their children and die in the same
community and the church loses
with the individual.—Exchange.

this nation was an agricultural
one.
Industrial jobs send beads of
families and families, flitting
from one towin to another. The
inevitable feeling is that life in
one place is so fleeting that it is
