"During that' time, I have token it sever*! times eid have frequently recommended (t to others. for it is a splendid medicine and I am glad to give people the benefit of my experience. "I have been a nuree for several years and have often oome in contact with patients who were rundown and weak. Often I have told auifererfl of Cerdui, and the way I, myself, had l>een heh?ed after taking it, and advised them to give it a trial- Many of them have sinoe lh?nked ine for what I told them, so I am willing that other women ibOuM know about it, too. "I first took Cardol because I was awfully run-down. I had no appetite, and was weak and listless. It was hard to keep going under such conditions, and I looked for something which would help me. *1 had read of Cardul snd decided to toy it After taking it. I improved so much that I have taken it' linos whenever I needed S tonio." Bold by all druggists. Ural byWarnm 9 For Over SO Yean Sb Will E.

He was a farmer. I drove out to his house and viewed his premises. His dwelling was in a dilapidated condition, the blinds were falling off, the paint was gone, the steps had disappeared, the shingles had about rotted. His barn was leaning to one side and ready to fall, his outhouses were relics of better days, his plow tools were scattered around the cow lot. BUT. He had a brand new 6-cylinder automobile under the shed. It was only 2 weeks old, It shined and glistened in all its lustre* anil "brilliant colors. ?The man was happy and hopeful. He Baid he gave a mortgage on his 3 mules and on his crop for the car, and he expected to make enough money to pay for it, and paint his house, and cover his barn, and brighten up things generally around the old place. He hadn't bought any guano. He said it was so high he decided to let 'em keep 1t. He was a little bit shy of mule feed, but had an acre of oats coming on. He seemed to be well pleased with too much rain, but I suppose he will make a crop of some kind, and I a*m sure that he will ride while he's making it, because there sat the car?right under the shed. Historical Data I continue to receive letters from friends who seem anxious to know something about me and my past life. I don't understand what difference ftiis makes with anybody, but I suppose we are all more or less curious. I intend to answer the following letter which came to me a few days ago; Greenville, S. C.f May 6, 1928. Mr. Gee McGee, * Anderson, -S. C. Dear Sir:? I read your pieces regular in the Textile Bulletin and enjoy them.; I hope'you 'will keep writing for the papers. ~-yl am a high school girl, and will finish in this month.

First thing anybody knows he's going to imbibe too freely on white lightning and strike the wrong fellow. He always talks about prohibition taking away his iberty. Uncle Joe says when ' he went to school 'way back yonder that the teacher would draw a straight chalk line on the floor and when she held classes she'd require every pupil to "toe the mark." Uncle Jote's fpot was so big he stood about 12 inches >ut of line, and lots of the time, the teacher would "skip" him and that suited him all right. He uster lick his slate and eat slate pencils, and furthermore?everybody drank out of the same gourd or dipper, all of which goes on to prove that germs didn't exist 35 years ago. Uncle Joe dropped out of school about the time h? got to "baker," but he's smart when an argument comes up. He s got me skint a block. I have to work for a living and he doesn't.
