NATIVE OF
THE SOUTHLAND
And Nothing Pleases This Lady
, More, Than to Praise Cardui,
The Woman's Tonic.
Chillicothe, Ohio.?"I am a native of
the Southland," says Mrs. Ed. Davis,
of this town, "and nothing pleases me
more than to speak a word of praise
for Cardui. the woman's tonic, for I
firmly believe that it snatched me
from the grave. Although I do not
need it now, I always keep a supply
on hand.
I have been married 14 years, and
had two children. After the youngest
was born, I was not able to walk, and
for four years, I was not strong
enough to stand on my feet five min
utes at the time, without something
to Bupport me.
After everything else had failed, I
wrote to the Ladies' Advisory Depart
ment, of the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., for advice, and .they kindly told
me what I needed. I commenced tak
ing the Cardui Home Treatment. I
used only about four bottles of the
Cardui, but. today, I am well, can do
my own work, and walk as far as
I want to. e
I can never praise Cardui enough,
and my neighbors cannot get done
wondering at the change in me."
Cardui will surely do as much for
you, as it did for the writer of the
above letter, if you will only give it a
trial.
Don't delay. Begin taking Cardui
today. Your druggist sells it.?Adr.

RED, ROUGH HANDS MADE
SOFT AND WHITE
For red, rough, chapped and bleed
ing hands, dry, fissured, Itching, burn
ing palms, and painful finger ends,
with shapeless nails, a one-night Cutl
cura treatment works wonders. Di
rections: Soak the hands, on retir
ing, in hot water and Cuticura Soap.
Dry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment,
and wear soft bandages or old, loose
gloves during the night. These pure,
sweet and gentle emollients preserve
the hands, prevent redness, roughnesB
and chapping, and impart in a single
night that velvety softness and white
ness so much desired by women. For
those whose occupations tend to In- j
Jurd the hands, Cuticura Soap and Cu
ticura Ointment are wonderful.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each

Motive Power In Norway.
The greatest single factor in the pos
sible industrial development of Nor
way lies undoubtedly in its cheap ano
abundant hydroelectric power. The
country having practically no coal re
sources, the Norwegian industries are
coming to depend more and more upor
the utilization of waterfalls as a pri
mary motive power source.
Turning the Page.
A testator, after citing the obliga
tionw he was under to a particulai
friend, bequeathed to him at the bot
torn of the first page of his will ter
thousand?dollars, of course, thought
the delighted legatee, but on turning
the page he found the missing word tc
be "thanks."
A similar story is told of an old
lady who, in her last illness, prom
ised the priest to leave him a sum
of money for parish purposes. WheD
she was dying she asked the priest to
come nearer the bedside, and gasped
out: "Father?I've?given?you?"
"Stop," said the priest, anxious to
have as many witnesses as possible;
"I will call in the family," and, open
ing the door, he beckoned them all in.
"I've given you," panted out the dy-!
lng woman, "a great deal of trouble." j
HAPPY NOW
Family of Twelve Drink Postum.
"It certainly has been a blessing In 1
our home" writes a young lady in re- j
gard to Posium.
"I am one of a family of twelve, |
who, before using Postum, would make !
a healthy person uncomfortable by j
their complaining of headache, dizzi- j
ness, sour stomach, etc., from drinking i
coffee.
"For years mother suffered from :
palpitation of the heart, sick head- |
ache and bad stomach and at time3 j
would be taken violently ill. About a
year ago she quit coffee and began j
Postum.
"My brother was troubled with ;
headache and dizziness all the time ;
he drank coffee. All those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap- j
peared since Postum has taken the i
place of coffee.
"A sister was ill nearlv all her life I
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.
"She thought nothing would take
the place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is a happy little
woman enjoying life as people
should-"

HELPS MILL PEOPLE
THE GARDEN MOVEMENT ' IS
THRIVING IN THE TEXTILE
VILLAGES.
FIELD IS BEING BROADENED
Eleven Special Agents of the Federal
Government Have Charge of Im
provement Work.
Columbia.?The industrial depart
ment of the United States farm de
monstration work in South Carolina Is
a "great mould of character" and is
helping to solve the problem of. the
high cost of Tving among the mill
operatives of the state, according 10
Jas. L. Carbery of Rock Hill, the state
agent, who was in Columbia recently.
Eleven demonstrators employed by
the department will this year dis
tribute between 400,000 and 500,000
tomato and flower plants among the
mill people of the State.
"I am deeply interested in the work
and the transformation of some of
the mill villages has been wonderful,"
said Mr. Carbery.
The demonstration work in the mill
villages was inaugurated by the de
partment last year. One demonstra
tor was employed in the village at
Rock Hill. Thirty-one persons joined
the first club. Now there are 11 de
monstrators employed and more than
900 mill operatives "have been enlisted
in the work. The demonstrators are
located at Rock Hill, Ware Shoals,
Pelzer, Piedmont, Greenville, Easley,
L'berty and Central.
This year the demonstrators will
distribute more than 3,000 tomato
plants in each mill village. The in
tensive plan of farming is be'ng urged
and a great saving is predicted for
those who enter.
"The work covers a broad field,"
said Mr. Carbery, "and the more one
studies the situation the greater seem
the possibilities. Great credit is due
to the operatives. They are making
the work successful. Practically all
of the demonstrators have worked in
the mills." '
P. G. Seay, formerly of Shore, *Va.,
has been placed In charge of the
work at Liberty and Easley. "He has
every quality for leadership and is
fast improving conditions/' said Mr.
Carbery.
Mr. Carbery said that in many of
the villages the operatives are dis
placing the old wooden fences with
wire. This, he said, was one result
of the demonstrators' work and
showed the increasing interest of the
operatives.

of eight and nine months. However,
