Queer Feelings "Some time ago, I was very irregular," writes Mrs. Cora Noble, of Plkeville, Ky. "I suffered a great deal, and knew I must do something for this condition. I suffered mostly with my back and a weakness in my limbs. 1 would have dread ful headaches. 1 had hot flashes and very queer feelings, and oh, how my head hurt I I read of CARDUI ITifl Woman's Tonic and of others, who seemed to have the same troubles I had, being benefited, so I began to use it. I found it most bene ficial. I took several bottles .... and was made so much better I didn't have any more trouble of this kind. It reg ulated me." Cardui hat been found very helpful in the correction of many cases of painful female dis orders, such as Mrs. Roble mentions above. If vou suffer as she did, take Cardui ? a purely vegetable, medicinal tonic, in use for mora than 40 years. It should help you. Sold Everywhere.

S C THOSE FOOL LITTLE GRUDGES If One Only Would Pause to Consider the Question, Are They Really Worth While? The first t lino I crossed t |i<* Atlantic I had Mm good fortune to find myself In good compuny. Tho passenger "list was comparatively small mid the weather was ml Id. So, l?y the time tho whip approached Liverpool, the passengers wore fairly w * ? 1 1 acquaint* ??<! ami tho atmosphere was decidedly gonial. What Interested mo moat about tho trip \win tho sHdness re flected hero >md there during tho last two days, John 1>. Harry writes In t.ho Minneapolis Tribune. "\Vell, wo'U novor ho together again," said ono passenger, and tin< Other said, "I hato to leave ull those pleasant people." Since that time, ufter voyages of a week or more, even of ships whore Uiu passengers have been rather de tached, I've noticed a somewhat aim .1 1 ti r feeling. Among college students It's , well known that during the last year of college there'M a pretty general soft enlng up. In the men's college It's very marked. I suppose it's Just as marked In the women's collegvs, per haps more so. Men who had cherished grudges against each other for months or years and hadn't spoken would begin to -speak again and would perhaps become friends. Acquaintances that had paused with a slight nod would grow more agreeable. Somehow ani mosity, chilliness, all unpleasant be havior began to seem foolish. It be came clear that In this association there was something worth while, something that hadn't been fully ap preciated before and that the thing to do wns to make the most of it while It lasted. BUFFALO HERDS HAVE GROWN Animals In Canadian Government Pre servee Must Be Killed to Prevent Evil of Overcrowding. Twenty-live years ngo the Canadian government purchased a small herd of buffalo and placed it In a national park at Banff, For several years the herd was regarded merely as an ob ject of curiosity. Then a game pre serve was decided upon, and Ihe herd, together with other buffalo acquired from a Cnlted States rancher, was turned Into tho Inclosure. The pre serve Is' located at Walnwrlght, Alta., and extends over 102 square miles of sandy prairie which was considered unsuitable for agriculture. Tho buf falo. 709 In number, thrived from the 'Mart, and last spring the caretakers counted 0,140 of the animals. Al though the 1 922 "crop" cannot be counted until the bison are herded Into their winter quarters, It is esti mated that there will be nn addition of at least 1.0<)0 calves. Resides this herd at Walnwrlght, there are other buffalo In Canada In sufficient cum bers to bring the total up to approxi mately 9,000 head, and the govern ment Is preparing to kill about 1,000 of them every year to prevent the preserves from becoming overcrowd ed. ?

COLUMBIA SUPPLY COMPANY 823 Went Gervais St. Columbia, S. C. ISLANDS NATURAL ! HISTORY MUSEUM Hidden Gold, Strange Birds arid Giant Tortoises on the Galapagos. Washington, 1). C. ? "T(io Galapagos Islands are being revisited by scien tist* because t hey form an incompar able. nutural history muscuut," says ? bulletin Hum iln* Washington (1>. headquarters of the National Geo graphic society. J,'Charles Darwin began their scleq 11110 exploration and lu* reported on (lit* various specie* of giant tortoises, each species confined to a single islet; and pointed out that half the llowors and half the birds of the Island are to he found now line else iu the world. "More than 2,000 volcanic cones be sprinkle the archipelago, one estimate hat* It, and the Islands' volcanic origin accounts for the peculiar Interest tliey hold to science, Darwin deduced that the group has not been wearer the mainland, nor have the Islands been closer together than now. How Peculiarities Developed. "Ilence the species of flowers and birds which drifted to the Islands have undergone a development In their Iso lated environment very different from that in their native habitats. Seldom has nature provided such u clear-cut opportunity to study the processes of evolution. ' "The Galapagos hold a different sort of Idre for the modem world. Most tales of hidden treasures warrant many grains of salt, but It seems certain that the pirates of South Amer ica hid their loot of gold and silver wher.e they had their headquarters. In these Island*. Two caches have been unearthed, silver Ingots and pieces of eight. The tinder of one built a hotel In Ecuador; the second drank himself to death. "The Islands lie Just under? the equator, but the air frequently Is chilly on some of them. One, Albe marle, also called Isabella, Is 500 feet high. The cold Antarctic currents which fan the const of Peru strike sea ward at (.'ape Blanco and surge across the Galapagos group. h'p to S00 feet most of the Islands are barren, above that level they are swathed 1# clouds whose 'moisture aids luxuriant vegeta tion. "Wild goa t s, cattle, cats and dogs, as well as hiddon treasure, hear evi dence of the rendezvous of bucca neers. In 1S.TJ Kcuador annexed the Islands, and since 1SS5 they have had a governor. They acquired a strate gic Importance with the opening of the Panama canal, for they lie on the can a I- to- Australia route. "The largest island of the group, the aforementioned Albemarle, is larger than hong Island, New York; the en tire group has an area considerably In exel'sVi of that of Delaware. The neare/t of the islands to mainland is <;< M > miles west of Kcuador. Have Economic Value. "Treasure and science to one side, as a famous humorist would say, tha future of the Islands looms large upon their agricultural merit." Halph Stock, In his classic account of 'The Dream Ship" expedition, wrote: "The soil Is a rich, red loam, almost stoneless, and scarcely touched by the plow. There sre 3, .*>00 head of cattle at present on Cristobal Island, and It could support 50,000 with ease. There Ih no disease and no adverse climatic condition with which to contend, and at three years old a steer brings $1<>0 (gold), live weight, at Guayaquil? when a steamer ran be Induced to ?*nli nnd take It there.

Hunters are required to turn in an evidence the skins or scalps of ani mals killed when found In unliable condition. Such jvoslilve evidence wan [obtained during the year In the case of 30.1>N<> predatory animals, of which 087 wore large gray wolves, 27,185 coyotes, 2,827 bobcat* and Canada lynxes, 173 mountain lions, and 114 heart). Hears are generally regarded as game animals and are protected by Rotno state laws. No effort Is made to take any except lndl\^luals known to be destructive to stock. In addi tion to the dead animals secured, it Is estimated that not less than f>0,0(X) coyotea were killed In connection* with extended poisoning Derations, but their carcasses were not found. The killing of about 80,000 preda tory animals represents a saving of live atock and game for the year amounting to over $4,000,000. Skins sold during this period yielded $34, 202.75, of which $22,375 was derived from skins taken during the same year. LIGHT GIVES QUEER EFFECTS Developments of Photographs Strange* ly Affected by Colore Under Which They Are Taken. Curious results are obtained when certain objects are photographed un der different lights. For example, plates of a landscape obtained by In fra-red light gives the sky a Jet black and trees nnd grass as white as snow. Ultra-violet photographs or plcturea obtained through a quartz lens heav ily slivered on one side show white garden flowers as quite black. If the moon's whiteness were due to the presence of zinc oxide, then the localities la which this substance was present when photographed by ultra violet rays would not appear white, but black. This plan has been tried in the case of lunar photographs, and li> the neighborhood of. the crater Arlstorchiis It Is clearly shown that th??re Is a considerable area whereof the surface material differs from that in its proximity, In ordinary light this shows no vari ation from the rest of the surface, hut repeated photographs taken with the quart/, lens and silver lens prove that some unsuspected substance exists on that S4>ot. The difficulty is to de termine Its nature. Th$ only way at present, it seems, consists In photo graphing different rocks until one Is found that presents the same charac teristics as those of this district of the moon. There have been unavalllngly tried lavns, volcanic debris and min erals of many kinds. ? Washington Star. F raa Rid* Bring* Suspicion*. The snow had changed to rain nnd the streets were full of running water mid slush. The hour was late and Fifth avenue all but deserted when the flivver driver hastening home no ticed standing on a street comer a man In evening dress who was vainly seeking to flnd a taxi. The flivver man drew alongside and aald : "I'm going down as far aa Washington Square. Glad to give you a ride, if you wish." The other hesitated. Rut the rain was increasing. "Thanks." he an swered, and climbed in. All during the Journey the man In ! evening clothes sat tense and poised on the edge of the hack seat. His sensations became apparent to the driver, who turned rounu. "It's all right, Jbuddia," he said. "I'm no holdup mnn. And anyway In offering you a lift I took as big a chance on you an you did on me." ? New York Sun.

GOT TOO POPULAR Why Coqple Returned to Kitchen ette Apartment. "Comp'ny" Wat All RiQht, but It la "l^oiiibli to Htvt Tool Much' of a Q9od Thing. ? ? r-t -? He liked "comp'ny" ami his young wife was also fond of having tolks In. Life was much less mopxitonovw >yhen friends were around,. Hut they lived In u one-room apartment with a mys terious disappearing kitchenette, and when tjiey 'yi'ire both at home the place \vu? thronged, They had uo space ty ;glV6 over to entertaining vis itors. ? One evening, says a writer In the New Y??rk Hun and Glohe, they Invited a couple In for some bridge and when they pivoted the visiting lady was bad ly trampled. After that lamentable experience they gave up the Idea en tirely and spent all of their spare time longing for the (lav, when the Incoming shillings would be abundant enough to provide commodious quarters. "If we can only get ourselves ade quately housed." said the wife, "we can entertain our friends to our heart*' content." * . The husband finally dislodged the necessary raise in salary. With no at tempt to conceal ttielr Jubilation, they select td an apartment with four rooms, a kitchenette and a bath. Al most hilariously they announced fre quent house-warmings. Their ? many friends flocked to offer congratulations. And after the first period of celebra tion# had ended the friends continued to come, They dropped In without in vitation \or provocation. From their own cramped quarters they issued con tinuously to share In the spaclngs of the fortunate ones. The famine of "comp'ny" ended. The young man and his wife were inundated with It. Sev eral vain efforts were made to stop the Inrush. Hut the friends calmly overlooked all hints and faltered not. Karly one Sunday morning, as the last of a large delegation of self-In vited |>oker players had departed, the husband spoke. There was a trace of exasperation in his voice. "When we lived , where we couldn't entertnin we wanted 'comp'ny' all the time." he said. "Now that we are '.n position to entertain we have It nil the time, whether \se want It or not. Our friends drop In as If this were a sub way station. They seem t<? think I'm the commissioner of parks and play grounds. .Tust because we have more square footage than they have they do their romping here. The only differ ence betweeen our home and tl^e pub lic library Is that we allow smoking and serve refreshments. I'm through. The young wife checked every state ment. And soon thereafter, although the multitude of friends bemoaned their ad, they moved back to their for mer location. They decided If crowd ing had to be done they would do It themselves. They elbowed each other around and saved money. And when they felt as if they needed "comp'ny" they rode a local train through the Rast aide subway during a rush hour and attempted to get off at Thirty fourth street. Mark Twain's Missouri Park. In the memorial park at Florida, Mo., where Mark Twain was born, we suggest that plenty of those "slippery ellums" that Mark's group of young sters knewLb? planted. They are the ulmos fulva, whlrh Mark's boys didn't know and would have scorned under such s hlfalutln title If they had. As this memorial park grows In beauty and umbrngeousness and In In fluence by tTie gifts and endowments from Mark Twain admirers, we hope to see the statues of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer rise there, of Aunt Polly and the oilier homefolk characters that appeal to the sentiment of Western people among whom the genius, Sam uel . Clemens, grew up. Mark Twain's _ birthplace will In time become onp of the grentosf of literary shrines, for If is now brightly clear that lie Is one of the American Immorlals.
