- "Sure Cure" "I would like to guide E suffering women to a sure E cure for female troubles," writes ms. R. E. Mercer, of Frozen Camp, W. Va. "I have found no med icine equal to CarduL. I had suffered for about I four years. Would have j headache for a week at a I time, until I would be nearly crazy. . I took Car dui and now I never have the headache any more." ZE53 TdCARDU1 Take The Woman's Tonto The pains from which many women suffer every - month are unnecessary. It's not safe to trust to strong drags, rightat the time of the pains. Better to take Cardui for a while, before and after, to strengthen the system and cure the cause. This is the sensible, thescientificthe right way. Try it. Teaches Ezmiai=O, May 5, 1911.

"There are many physical reasons or thinking that if any other planet )esides the earth is inhabited it is robably Venus," says Professor Pick ,ring. "It is about the same size as he earth, and its density is about the ne. The force of gravity upon its urface is only slightly less than that on the earth. The temperature on 7enus is probably the same as in our iwn tropics, and the dense atmos here may be of a composition such Ls enveloped the earth when in the ,arboniferous period. As to the ex stence of intelligent life, the question s still open. If it is ever established hat the planet Venus is inhabited it rill be less surprising than if the same were proved conclusively of any other lanet, owing to the similarity in S nany respects of Venus and the tarth." t A Cotton Legend.

The flesh of this "vege Iable lamb" was eaten, ran the story, ind the wool made into cloth.
