? Nurse Advises WEAK, RUN-DOWN WOMEN To Take Cardul "I have known of Cardui for nearly twenty-five years," says Mrs. Selma Meissner, 1072 Harrison Ave., Beaumont, Texas. "During that time, I have taken it several times and have frequently recommended it to others, for it is a splendid medicine and I am glad to give people the benefit of my experience. "1 have been a nurse for several veers and have often come in contact with patients who were rundown and weak. Often I have told sufferers of Cardui, and the way I, myself, had been helped after taking it. and advised tnem to give it a trial. Many of them have sinoe thanked me for what I told them,, so I sin willing that other women should know about it, too. "I first took Cardui because I was awfully run-down. 1 had no appetite, and waa weak and liatleaa. It was hard to keep going under such conditions, and I looked for something which would help me. *'I had read of Cardui and decided to try it. After taking it, I improved eo much that I have taken k since whenever I needed a tonic."

CAMDEN DRY CLEANERY - Phone 17 "> ' 4 r Nobody's Business Written tor The Chronicle by Ciee McCe?, Copyright, 1927. Home Economic* Our Fall garden is coming along fine. We are looking for the fence to fall most any time. We have 4 collards, 6 chickens (which belorjg to our neighbors), 7 turnips, 86 mili lion hunches of nutgrass, 1 pig, (owner unknown), and 56 moles, all of which seem to he doing pretty well. If my old lady will tend to her business, arid cut out so many purtics, it seems probable that we will get between 15 and 20 cents worth of vegetables from our garden during the Fall, unless it turns out to lie a dog-fall. Since the last government's crop estimate came out, a bale of cotton will pay the first installment on an automobile, or half your 1920 and 1921 taxes, or the guano note that you skipped last year, or two-thirds of your doctor bills for 1924-25-26, or the interest on the mortgage on your home last year, or the amount you have been promising your church for 25 years, or 10 per cent on the grocery bills you have been dodging for 4 years, or for a 20-dollar 'dress for your wife, (priced at 125 dollars), or will earn a neat little sum if put in the savings department of your bank for a rainy day. Hurrah for short crops and high prices! . . t JU , We have it from good authority that, the report is absolutely false that Greenvjlle county, South Carolina is preparing to issue bonds to pay the cost of the recent TownsendWillis trial. An effort will be made, however, to borrow this money from the Sinking Fund and Detective Rogers will endorse the note, but if this plan fails?then the court house and jail and fire department will be sold to meet this obligation. Let me see: what was it those defendants were being tried for? V Only about 96 per cent of the automobiles you see parked on the streets belong to the clerks in the stores. The other 2 ears "in sight" are owned by the lucky customers who got to town early. (Therefore, the majority of the people who come to town to trade leave their vehicles out in the country where there's more room and no traffic lights). And parking space will continue to be hard to get until cars are sold for part cash. Kverything's setting pretty in this old country now. Just think of it! A pound of cotton will buy a gallon of gasoline, or a quart of oil, or pay for fixing a puncture, and will likewise pay for 2 pounds of fat backs (that ought to have been raised at home), and you can also exchange a pound of strict middling cotton for' a plug of Brown's Mule tobacco, but the state, county, luxury, and war tax must come extra, so it takes about two pounds to gain sole possession of a olug of the joy-producing weed. Anyway, Hurrah for the boll weevil! F.lder Jones is a business man as j well as a church man. He runs a store for a living and he runs the church because he thinks nobody else knows how to run a church. Nothing can be done without his consent. He fell out with the whole congregation once because t h e preacher preached a sermon on "Baptism" without first talking the matter over with him. F.lder Jones is a tither, so he says, lifter he pays all his debts, his insurance, his taxes, and puts 1 thousand dollars in the ^fcink for a "rainyday," he figgers up just how much one-tenth of the balance is, and then he gives his wife half of that (for heathen), and then he drops the other nickel into the c&U lection plate. Rider Jones fought the coming of the organ into the church, and wouldn't donate a brownie toward' its purchase. He also raised sand about the "Dew Drops" and a few other "drops" buying a piano, and he wouldn't shake loose from even n dime for that "vile instrument of the devil." He wasn't in favor of a new carpet at all for the church, and ] forbade his wife to help at all, or I attend the missionary societies while i the subject of buying it was discussi ed. But, after all, Rider Jones was j:i,rh: handy around the ehuuh. He: always passes the plate. He does this because folks won't notice that he never contributes anything to ! the church fund. He generally prays . the first pravor before nreachine began. (He told all new pastors to : call on him for that service so's ev-" j erythinjf would go along all right j thereafter). Rider Jones has his own private pew in chuTcJvTand woe unto the man or woman that would seat himself i or herself in it, and let him catch' them there. Once this happened to' Mrs. Brotelle: She occupied the elder's seat unthoughtedly, but when the elder came around, he gave her such n look that she fainted, and the preacher, noticing the incident, | swallowed his chewing gum, hud dismissed the congregation. > " You could Always tell when Rider Jones wasn't exactly .pleased with things. He would sit on his backhone, with his boney legs.,crossed, j his lower lip puckered up 'like a wilted jonquil, and wouWn't pay any ! attention to the singing or preaching, and when the meeting was over, he'd 1 stalk out of the., chxirchf withot\t I glancing either to the right or left, I j a?nd make a bee-line for home. But I Tllder Jones will be badly (if not I I gladly) missed when he mAke? a dive I ! foe the pearly gates. He seems to' I 1 be sincere, and of course, eveiybodylBJ he pes he'll make th? gra^?. \ TIMELY GARDEN NOTES It) A. K. KchilU-tter, Extension Horticulturist Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetable* have* matured. liecay ing vegetable* and vegetable plant* are likely to increase disease and insect damage next season. Do not allow the asparagus bed 49 go to weeds but do not cut away the tops that have grown to full size. Either will decrease production next spring as a result of weakened plants. Keep the strawberry bed free of weeds and grass. Transplant a few rows of selected new plants during September, but do not risk the bulk of your planting before cooler weather. Onion sets planted at this time will give early spring onions. Prepare soil well but do not fertilise too heavily, as the onion tops might be injured as a result of a rapid growth during the winter. Cabbage seed planted at this time will produce what you commonly buy as "frost-proof" cabr bage plants. Plant liberally in well prepared soil, give only a small per- j cent of nitrogen, and plant in the open furrow to enable you to work the soil to the plants to avoid cold injury. Charleston Wakefield is the leading variety for first marked , Plant spinach?Aragon, Norfolk, ! Savoy, antj Bloomsdale varieties?in rows 8 feet and thin 4 to 8 inches. Spinach likes sweet soil and a large amount of organic matter. ^ A balanced fertilizer, as high as 1600 { pounds per acre', is recommended. Transplant lettuce to beds or rows so as to protect against early frost. Big Boston is a good variety. Turnips for salad, Seventop and Southern Pride, may be sown jn i the Piedmont as late as October 15 and much later as you near 'the coast. i ' Plant carrots?Chantenay; raddisn ?White Tip, Scarlet; mustard?a few rows of Giant Southern Curled. ' Fruits Without Faults In Favor Clemson College, Sept. 26?Fruits without faults, attractively arrang- j ed, will win the blue ribbons at fairs. Desirable show fruits are free1 from blemish, are of uniform size, shape color, and ripeness, and are typical of the variety, says A. M. Mussor, acting horticulturist, who reminds us that whoever plans \o exhibit fct fairs should obtain pre- _ mium lists and score cards from the fair authorities and give careful consideration to selection of the best material available. A blemish on a single fruit disqualifies that plate from prizes, he emphasizes. Every specimen exhibited in either plate or box should be nearly the same size, shape and color. Four large and one small ' fruits in a plate or four red and one unripe fruits haven't as good chance for winning as a plate of medium, typical size, with practically the same color marking. "Very large fruits won't win unless that variety is typically large. ,TAi? specimens selected for exhibition should always be of normal size and should be of the general shape of y the ^Variety. |l Pick more specimens than re- H quired for the exhibit and pack I them carefully so there wili be I! enough for a good exhibit even though some are injured. Usually I five apples or pears constitute a plate exhibit. Attractive arrangements of the ex-, hibits has a strong influence on winnings. The exhibit table should ,be covered with paper of a color coiv- ' trasting with the fruit color, sucji as green paper for red and yetiow specimens. Plates should be arranged attractively and box exhibits packet! carefully with an even layer of perfect specimens on top. ' " ' ' Rear Admiral J. R. P.
