LETTER FROM MRS. COOK Entirely Recovered From Illness, And Now Growing Stronger Each Day. Cavo Springs, Ga.?"I Bleep better than ever," writes Mrs. Kato Cook trom this place, "and get stronger fevery day. Before I tried Cardui, the woman's tonic, I was very sick, and the doctor's medicine did me no good. I can never speak too highly of your medicine." Sleeplessness and nervousness, from which many women suffer, often make living unendurable. If you aro ailing, no need to stay Ro. Most of the ailments peculiar to women aro preventable, curable. Others have obtained relief by taking Cardul. Why not you? tiaruul is a popular medicine with women. It is popular because it has been found to banish nervousness, relieve pain, bring roses back to pal? checks, and strength to weak bodies. Cartful acts specifically on the cause oT most female ills, and thus It is a medi< ine especially useful in women's aliments, in the treatment of which it has a record of over GO years of success. At least it can ?ln you no harm, to Five Cardul a fair trial. I# mu v Vni * ; ..v. vu-j mvuiLiue you inecd. CJef. a bottle today. Tf. B.? Writs tt>; I,r>i1ir??'

The expulsion of the religious orders from France a few j years ago sent many monks and nuns t n? /Miirnca and Kngland and resulted ! in thu establishment of monastoriea : and convents in various places. The | members of the Trappist order are pledged to silence for tlio remainder 1 f)f tli<?ir days. It is the Order of the ; Silent FJrotln rhood.

Years ago, when James Lane Allen wrote "The white Cowl," his descriptions of the abbey brought many visitors there from all over the United States, but today the monastery Is almost forgott< n by the outside world. When the members of the order die they are laid to rest In the little cemetery outside the monastery walls. There the original founders of the abbey are buried. Tin* abbey owes Its direct origin to the abbey of La Mellleraye, in the department of Loire-Inferieure, France. The abbot of the latter institution made an arrangement with tin- French government back in the early forties J to lay the foundation for a monastery of their order on property situated on the Island of Martinique, Riven to A Trapplst Farmer.

For I think of how tho beat has been timing trudging feet ThrouKh tho years that nre forRotton, over path and road and street. All the legions of the past, armies small and armies vast. Trod the meiisiiri' r?f Hrnmlinni the dice of war were cast. And the rattle and the roll wake ail echo in my soul. Wake a war sour front the nges when men fared to slory'a goal. As a word is cauRht and flunp on ttio breezes from the toiiKUP, So the shouting sonj? of warcfare l?y tlie thrumming drum is bimik. And tlie shouts of days of yoro that once swept tho plain and shore Are re-echoed and re-echoed in the vibrant roll and roar. And the hlood within my veins races on until it pains, While the ancient sons of battle In Its cadence ebbs and wanes. And I know now why It was men could perish Tor a cnuso. Why they cli?>>] niton the altar for their precepts and their laws. IIo, a thousand thousand feet have gone marchlnK to Its heat; That has rolled across tho valleys In the cold and In tho heat; Men have Kone from home and hearth, from their Ki'lef uiul from their mirth. When the drum sent forth Its summons for the country of their birth. And I cannot tell you why, but a tear Is In my eye When I see tho flashing beauty of Old Glory In tho sky. As I hear the throb and tliruin and tho rumble of tho drum When tho flfos are singing shrilly and the innrehlnK soldiers eotne. As It Will Be.
