J was in bed, so sick i couiani Dear 101 any one to walk across the floor. My husband advised me to try Cardui, ! the woman's tonic. I have taken two bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained | 15 pounds and do all of my housework. Friends hardly know me, I am so well."

The recent dedication of the Lutheran church of the Good Shepherd at Swansea was an event of unusual importance to the loyal band of Luth- j erans who compose its membership. , The congregation was organized in 1911 by Rev. W. B. Aull, who continues to serve them. One remarkable feature about the building of the church is the fact that it is the selfsacrificiner work of nine Lutherans, for O "? this number comprises the entire membership. They contributed $1,500 to- I wards the church, which cost $2,500, ' and in order that the church might be dedicated at once they assumed the balance as individuals until further plans could be made for its liquidation. The church is a substantial frame edifice. Its location within the borders of a large Lutheran constituency is the part of wisdom of those i who are looking to the future in the I increase of population which the development of the town and the surrounding country will bring.
