Mrs. Ella Scarborough, R. F. D.

ferent things were recommend

"I was just as weak as could
be. My legs were shaky, and
often I would just totter
around the house. I finally got
so bad that I was in bed sever

"It was then that I began to
take Cardui. I kept it up for
quite a while, and at last I re
gained my health. Cardui was
certainly a friend to me in time

I find a friend going through

eyes of two poorly dad little girls.
’Tulips?” *he~' repeated, smiling.
”'Vliy, tulips are not due. yet You
should have red roses, poinsettins, and

“Yes m. I know,” said the one car

and Just a quarter for three."
“I see.” said Anne. “Making some

“No. nui’m.” answered the sister. "1
wish we could buy something pretty
for mother, hut we are trying to get
us some school shoes before time to
go back after Christmas.”
Anne’s eyes songht the children’s
foot and her throat filled with a chok

“Why—why—yes. I’ll buy a dollar’s

stood watching the children as they

brought an answer from one of the
flower girls. No one was In sight, but
as the door opened a big car was seen
moving away and on the porch was a
large well-filled basket ornamented
with polly and one big red caudle.
When tlie basket was taken Inside and

a generous supply of fruit, nuts and
candy. The card rend:
