C. ”1 could not do any of my work. 1 waa so weak I ooeddnotwashadiah. My back and sides hurt ms at timsa dreadfully. I dragged around until I finally got down in bod." Then, erplama Mrs. Bunch, ■he happened to read about Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and decided to give it a thorough trial, the results of which she describee below: It seemed to reach the cause of my trouble et once. I did not tarice it long before my appetite hegan to improve. I gained in weight from 114 pounds until now I weigh 126 pounds. 1 soon was able to be up around the house. I took up my household duties end wan delighted with my return ing strength. *T now do all my own work. The paina in my sides and beck have disappeared and I feel like a different person." Cardui has been helping suf fering women for nearly 50 years. Sold by all druggists. CARDUI Bab son Park, Mass., May 6.—Rog er W. Babson was today interviewed as to the floods in the Mississippi val ley region and their effect upon busi ness. He states that it is very diffi cult to get satisfactory reports, but from those coming into his office his conclusions are as follows: Devastation Very Great “Without doubt the flood devasta tions have been very great. From a monetary point of view they may be classified with the Galveston flood, the Dayton flood, the San Francisco earth quake. the Baltimore fire and the Flor ida hurricane. Considering the num ber of lives lost, the figures are in ex- , cess of anything in other devastations. . The number of homeless exceeds any- j thing that has taken place before. — | Therefore, from certain ponts of view, ihe recent floods have been exceeding- ‘ ly -erious. a < “The Mississippi flood is different _ i from the other devastations in that • the losses are largely rural. Although the area devastated exceeds anything that has happened in this country be fore, yet large cities have not been seriously damaged. The damage has largely been in the fanning districts. The houses swept away have mostly beeri small farm houses and the finan cial losses have been in the form of crops, cattle, and other agricultural assets. The losses in cities have been confined largely to the following plac es: Fort Smith, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Arkansas City, North St. Louis, Greenville, Miss., and Hickman, Ky. Business Reactions “The immediate effect of .hese floods has been a quickening of bus iness in the flood areas. More lumber has been needed to build homes, new seed to plant land, new tools to work the land, and new supples to take the place of those washed away. Tem porarily many industries will benefit from the flood as there will be a great demand for certain supplies to house the homeless and to restock business concerns and farmers. This has al ways been the case in times past. This was tru^ifo^tyton and that section of Ohio flooded some years ago. Gal veston experienced a quickened de mand for goods following the flood in that port. The railroads to California enjoyed a tremenodus business for months after the San Francisco fire. Experience shows, however, that fol lowing such activity there always comes a very severe reaction. and so there has been some oppoaition to them. Only recently Congreaa pointed a commission to investigate the 'hydro-electric trust,' so called. At the hearings then held, the point made by the public utilities that dams are performing a a ary service in Ylood prevention. Now they will be taken seriously. Either the hydro-Clectric companies must be encouraged to continue their program of building more and greater dams, or the national government must build these dams in order to prevent flood devastation. Hence, this Mississippi valley flood may be the means of fring ing the public to a realisation of what they owe the public utilities. This may result in giving a further impetus to hydro-electric development. Mississippi Watershed “It is difficult to visualise the tre mendous area covered by the Missis sippi watershed. The river, from its source at Lake Itasca which was dis covered by Schoolcraft in 1832, to its outlet in the Gulf of Mexico is 2,459 miles long. The drainage area of the Mississippi consists of a million and a quarter square miles, or about 40 per cent of the mainland of tha United States. This drainage area is divided as follows: % of Designation' Sq. Miles. Whole Missouri 527450 • 43 Upper Mississippi 165,900 13 Ohio 201,700 16 M’dle and L’w’r Miss. 69,000 6 Arkansas 186,300 15 Red 90,000 7 % _ Total 1,240,050 100 For Female TranUes — 5% THE TRUE STORY OF Mussolini AND THB Blackshirts Hear the Thrilling Lecture on Italy’s Great World-Figure B7 Tom Skeyhill fPriier, Lecturer, Adventurer “The above table covers ten states. On the banks of the river are four cities of over 200,000 population. I re fer to St. Paul, Minneapolis, St. Louis and New Orleans. In addition there are 17 other cities with populations of over 100,000. The river has about 100,- 000 tributaries of which 240 are large enough to figure oh statistical charts. Steamers can travel on the Mississippi and its tributaries some four thousand miles without changing cargo. I men tion these figures that readers may comprehend the tremendous signifi cance of the problem and the vast amount of people who would be affect ed by any national solution' of the problem. General Business Conditions “Without doubt the flood has had some effect on spring business.

Economic Benefits Notwithstanding the above, I do believe there will be certain economic blessings following this great Mississ ippi flood. The first of these will be a greater interest in reforestation. For the past 50 years this country has a fair spring trade in most sections.' (Copyright 1927, Publishers Finan cial Bureau.)
