LIVES A GIRL
Who Suffered As Many Girls
Do—Tells How She
Found Relief.
SteHinjc, Conn.—“I am a girl of 22
yean
1 used to faint away every
month and waa very
weak. I waa also
bothered a lot with
female weakness. I
read your little book
' Wisdom for Wo-
men, ’ and I saw how
others had been
helped by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta-
ble Compound, and
decided to try it, and
it has made me feel
like a new girl and I am now relieved
of all these troubles. I hope all young
girls will get relief as I have. I. never
felt better in my life. ’’—Miss Bertha A.
Peloquin, Box 116, Sterling, Conn.
Massena, N. Y.—“I have taken Ly-
dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and I highly recommend it. If anyone
wants to write to me I will gladly tell
her about my case. 1 was certainly in
a bad condition as my blood was all turn-
ing to water. I had pimples on my face
and a bad color, and for five years I had
been troubled with suppression. The
doctors called it ‘Anemia and Exhaus-
tion,’ and said I was all run down, but
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound brought me out all right.”—Miss
Lavisa Mvres, Box 74, Massena, N.Y.

The Handel Recital.
On Friday night of last week,
the Handel Club gave a recital,
combined with their anniversary
celebration. The entertainment
was in every way social and very
enjoyable, and composed of the
following program: Several songs
by the club; vocal solo by Miss
Delphine Byrnes, and an address
on the organizing of the club and
its many difficulties and the suc-
cess which followed. The address
was very well received.
A short one-act farce entitled,
“The Burglar,” with five female
characters was offered as the con-
cluding number, and took well, if
we are to accept the continuous!
laughter and applause as a verdict.
The roles were protected by Misses
Nora Lenert, Gertie Alexander,
Alma Lueders. Julia von Rosen-
berg and Mrs. Chas. Kainer.

Warrenton.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until recent years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis-
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis-
ease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment.

which will soon be constructed
from Taylor into Smithville, there-
by bringing Dallas, Fort Worth and
Temple in line for the benefits of
this route. This would mean the
connection of all of the larger cities
ol the State.
The towns along the run into
Houston Friday and Saturday
showed much enthusiasm in the
project and in many places bonds
have already been voted for the
improvement of road conditions.
Many talks by the different
members of the party were beard
along the route. D. K. Colp made
(he main speeches in each town
and started the organizations. In
addition to Mr. Colp, Prof. B. K.
Couglilan of the highway depart-
ment of the Agricultural and Mec-
hanical college made several ad-
dresses. Representing Houston, C.
U. McDowell of The Post spoke in
each of the towns along the route.
Sand beds proved to be the great-
est difficulty encountered. There
are several bad stretches which will
have to be clayed in order for
many cars to get through. There
has been some work along this
line, but the places have been left
in a rough shape and have not had
1 he proper care.
There are very few spots which
will be greatly affected with refer-
ence to mud conditions and with
the wealth of material at hand, it
is an easy and an economical pro-
blem to build permanent roads
along this route.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic tp help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “1 think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
