More valuable hardwoods are found In North America than are native to any other region of similar area in the temperate zones.

To mnintuin good health you should try to inflate your lungs to their normal capacity ut all times, declares a physical instructor. The proper purification of the blood through oxygena- j Hon requires ample breathing. Drop | your shoulders forward and then try i V to take a full breath. You will find It i \ is impossible to do so In thnt position. A Breathing Is only partially accoml pllshed with the shoulders forward and j the breastbone depressed. The lower / portion of the lungs cannot be emptied, j and instead of receiving a supply of J fresh air they remain filled with resld/ aal air. fl Health ^ ^1 ADOUl N S Gone P! Many thousands of women suffering from |^k womanly trouble, have 1 ^ been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman's tonic, according to letters we receive, similar to this Bh one from Mrs. Z. V.Spell, of Hayne, N. C. "I could not stand on my feet, and just suffered terribly," she says. "As my suf- nk fering was so great, and he had tried other reme- L. dies, Dr. had us get Cardui. . . I began ^ improving, and it cured w ^B| me. 1 know, and my ^0 doctor knows, what Cardui did for me, for my Bs nerves and health were ^5 about gone." wk> ^ TAKE ^ M*. n UAKVUE The Woman's Tonic She writes further; 4'T ff^R am in splendid health ... can do my work.

Tliousands of feb women praise this medicine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with their women patients, for years, endorse this medicine. Think what it means to be in splendid health, like Mrs. Spell. Give j All Druggist* Fjl p , a Angela's Indecision By ETHEL HOLMES (Copyricht. 1117. Wootorn Newapnpor Union.) Evan Cartrlght was an unsuccessful wooer of Angela Drew. But Angela instead of turning Evan down in such a way as to take away all hope, dealt with him gently. She was very sorry for him; hoped he would find one who would be more worthy of him than herself, and above all, thut they might still be friends. Evan drew a deep sigh within his manly chest?he was a big fellow? und accepted the situation. He hud not thought of entering the great world wor hut i*'-4 1? 1 ???i Uvn uiui ne iiiiu ueen refused by the girl he loved, he decided to do so. He was about finishing his college course, and as the greater part of his class were volunteering. he enlisted and the government commenced the work of making a soldier of him. Angela wrote him. commending his patriotism, and predicted that he would be one of his country's honored servants. How Evan was to become one of his country's honored servants, permitting his comrades to move onward, while he lagged behind, only kept up to his work by Incessant urging, did not appear. He wrote In reply that he hoped he would have the grit to be among the first to go "over the top," and among the last to give up any gain that might have been made by himself and his comrades. Angela wrote In reply to this that she didn't mean that she advocated his being a laggard, but In trying to expluln what she did mean let out the main part of what she felt, which wns that she wns very much afraid that Evan would get hurt. A lover Is not prone to see n weakening on the pnrt of the girl who has refused him, but all this seemed to Evan to denote an Interest In him on the pnrt of his fair correspondent. He wns emboldened to offer himself again, doing so by letter, for he was now In the service of the government, which was preparing troops as rapidly as possible to send nbroad, and would not stop while the mnn ?- ? J * MCU mc/ *>r?c UHIIUII^ truuHivurtu IU capture ladles' hearts. Angela wrote back that an engagement between a girl and a man who waa going to a war that might last many years seemed to her very unwise. especially this war, which was strewing Europe with dead. Bowever. she would think about It. Angela thought about It for several months without arriving at a decision. Finally Evan wrote her that the force to which he belonged had been ordered to the Atlantic cosst, which meant that It would probably be prepared to send abroad. When a woman Is called upon to decide such questions upon which she has grave doubts, she Is apt to give some queer reasons for what she does. Angela demurred, for the reason that she had always expected when she married to have a very large and lmposlng wedding. Her mother was 111, and this would now be Impossible. If Evan did not sail for France till after her mother got well, she would make a llnnl decision. A month passed, and Evan's regiment did not leave the United States. Angela's mother got well. There seemed to he no reason why Angela should not marry Evan If he could get leave for the purpose. She decided that she would do so, and wrote him to that effect. He applied for a furlough and was refused. This put a stopper on a large and imposing wedding. Indeed, there could he no wedding at all, unless the bride should go to the groom. Angela took the matter under consideration? Evan admonished her that he was liable to n:iii ai iin muirs nouce, aim mill sue had better make up her mind at once. She did nuike up her mind. ami wrote him that she would go to hint "the day after tomorrow." On the evening of the day of her decision Angela received a telegram that her fiance would sail the next morning. The Journey before her could not be mude In less than iifS hours. Evan wus called up by telephone and an Interview between him and Angela followed. Evun saw no way for thein to be married until he returned from the war. Angela, who had been balktng for many months, was now in great distress that she could not be wedded. A family council was called, at which her father auggested a marriage by telephone. A lawyer was called in, who pronounced such a marriage legal. Evan was called up again; the plan was proposed to him, and he consented. A olergyman was called In to the I>rew residence; Angela stood by the receiver which she held so that both P# iliM Knur* fhn rounnnaou XT * ?? ?? ooll /?/! a comrade to act us best man, and the clergyman read a service. A ring waa put on Angela's finger by her brother, for the groom, and the final "man and wife" wus pronounced. The next morning Evan sailed for France and Angela was left behind to mourn her Indecision, and to regret that It bad kept her from bidding her husband good-by. Indeed, had she made a definite decision either way, It would doubtless have been better for her. Had she declined him absolutely at first, neither would have been thinking of the other very long. Had she accepted him when he proposed, they might have been much together before he embarked f ?r France. - M lH. - 1-3 | ' J i GOOD AS ANY BAROMETER j Observing Citizen Says He Knows Never-Failing Indication of When Weather Will Clear Up. "Whore I live," said Mr. Jorgleby, "I am pretty well shut In. I can't see the sky. und so I can't by observation get much of a line on the weather, but | on rainy days 1 do get, without looking, one tolerably certain indication when the rain Is going to stop, the same being the whistling of boys passing In the street. ; "When I hear the boys begin to whistle I know it will soon clear.

STILL GOT THEIR NICKNAMES Fond Father Vainly Imagined Ha' Could Protect His Offspring From the Common Lot. , William Williams hated nicknames. He used to say that most fine given j names were ruined by abbreviation,: which was a sin and a shame. "I,i myself." he said, "am one of sir broth-! ers. We were all given good old-fash-1 ioned Christian names, but all of those names were shortened into meaning- j less or feeble monosyllables by ourj friends. I shall name my children so1, that it will be impracticable to curtail1 their names." I The Williams family, in the course of time, was blessed with five children, all boys. The oldest was named after the father?William. Of course that could be shortened to "Will" or enfeebled to "Willie"?but wait! A aecond son came, and was christened Wlllard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Wil, llama. "Now everybody will have to ; speak the full name of each of these | I boys, in order to distinguish them." | In pursuance of this scheme, the J ! next three sons were named Wilbert, i Wilfred n nil Wllmn!

In fact, they made It so disagreeable j for the youngster that be appealed to his father. When be heard the true story he lectured his sen thusly: "This corporation which employs you has a 1 chairman who started In life as a boot- | Mack. The first vice president was j born on a farm, worked his way through college, and incidentally took care of his Invalid mother and father.'
