Suffering Women Welcome "Build-Up" A simple method Is saving many women much pain and discomfort! It is based on the knowledge that ! women's headaches, nervousness, and cramp-like pain often are symptoms of functional dysmenorrhgf^ due to a weak, run-down, undfcr- | nourished condition. That so many women ftnd relief from these painful symptoms through the CAKDUI "build-up" is aasy to explain. By improving the appetite, assisting digestion and assimilation, CARDUI helps to build physical resistance against periodic pain. Thousands of women also report that CAKDUI, taken just before and during "the time," helps to ease periodic pain. The Oldest Colored Men Tncle Reuben" Vanlker or Vanigo, art often used, died a few daye ago. According to hla figure, which seemed perfectly reliable, he must have been nlnety-flve years old. He was a credit to his race. His credit was perfect for what he occasionally borrowed. He valued his word highly. He was once well to do. When family left or died, he sold out, and decided to live on the interest of his money. He loaned to Tom, Dick, and Harry?white and colored, for high interest. Neither the principal nor the Interest caine back except in riblets. The stream Anally dried up, and left "Uncle Reuben" stranded and on relief. ' Highly honorable, he deserved a better fate.?Calhoun Times. In an address to a Republican rally at Reno, Nev., Senator Bridges of New Hampshire asked his hearers If they realized that relief money was used ' to set up propaganda agencies and pay expenses of NRA?that vast experiment." "Do you realize", he said, "that relief funds have been used to force private enterprise out of business and to set up government plants in'Its stead?"

South Carolina's traffic death toll has reached a total of 417 deaths for the tlrst ton months of 1030. Fortyeight of these motoring fatalities, resulting from 1578 highway accidents lu this Slute, occurred during the. last recorded ihonth of October with InJury to 206 persona. Warnings of walking hazards should again be pointed out since eighteen pedestrians were killed during this past month of October. Wo might note that December's traffic death toll for 1938 totaled fifty-eight, the same aB this year's October fatalities. Twenty-one pedestrians were killed last December which, supports the warning that this closing month holds added dangers for the person on foot. The hazards of early darkness with poorer visibility and the misted windshields, darker clothing for the pedestrian, and the holiday rush, all call for extra thought and double caution whether one Is walking or driving. This month, which should be one of the' happlost of the year, Is habitually marred by the highest death toll. The December death rate In this country is one-third higher than the average for all months. This month is more than one and a half times as dangerous as the year's safest month of June. While joy and hope are reflected in red-glowing holly wreaths in thousands of South Carolina windows, the motoring mishap occasioned by the rush to make up lost time will blight many a family's happiness. Since this motoring mistake of "Driving too fast for conditions" led all other accident violations for our last recorded month, it is asked that drivinghUrry be tabooed for this month. Common sense tells us that speed often turns a minor mishap into a serious accident. Bad weather, more darkness, with the rush and spirit of the hodllay season make us inclined to be careless behind the wheel or on foot. Mistakes filled many a heart with grief instead of good cheer last Christmas and in order to make this a white Christmas, not a holiday black with tragedy or red with blood, our drivers are asked to reduce their speed and remember these multiplied dangers of winter tnonth motoring. It is suggested that we put safety on our list of Christmas presents to the family and if you really want a Merry Christmas . . . Remember December, Mr. Driver. South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Coroner Says No Need For Inquest Coroner Ferris Hlnckimui has re-! reived from tho Federal Bureau of 1 uvestlgntlou a report that the. suicide j note loft by K. W Pox of Kershaw' was lit the same handwriting as oth-j or specimens of this hoy's handwriting. While there was Utile to indicate thai tins note was not written by tho; deceased nor was there much evidence I thai tho deceased did not commit sulcldtj but Mr. Dlackmon sent tho*sulcide note to the department of 'iua-. tlce at Washington *for the .purpose j of giving absolute proof to a fact; that had been pretty well established. Specimens of tho boy's handwriting! were obtained at the Cook Filling Station ut Kyraliuw where tills boy I watt employed. When his handwriting was sent to Washington for comparison a reply was received by telI egrain as follows: "Mr. Ferris Bluckmou, Coroner, Lancaster County, Lancaster, S. C. "Concluded questioned note written by writer of known specimens. Written report together with submit-j ted evidence to follow. J. Edgar Hoover, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, H. C." An explanation wus sent following tho diagram concerning the two specimens of handwriting. One chart which was numbered and followed by the letter Q while the other was numbered the same but lettered K. K. represented the suicide note while Q represented the specimens of handwriting that were known to be in the dead boy's handwriting. While the method of the federal bureau in ur-| riving at their conclusion Is not J known it was plainly apparent that tho two charts were similar. It is said that the department of Justice enlarges the wording by photographs when studying handwriting and makes their camparlsons by a sclentitic method. It was said by Mr. Hoover in his letter that photographs concerning all the handwriting specimens had been kept at Washington and filed away In the records of that office. Mr. Dlackmon said on receipt of the Information received that an Inquest was not necessary as the evidence supplied by the department of justice proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the death of E. W. Cox was due to his own hand.?Lancaster News. C. B. McCoy Dead C. B. McCoy, aged fifty-four, died at his home in the Buffalo community on Monday, November 27, after a short Illness.

Pavemfcnt edges are clearly defined. Concrete meets the ideal for a favement as defined by the nternational Illumination Congress of 1928. This is important to you because surveys show that the rate of death per accident is 4 3 per cent higher during darkness. Concrete, smooth but nonskid, insures a quick, certain stop even in the rain. Blowouts, spring breakage, steering gear failures, accidents of all kinds are less apt to happen on concrete. Yet concrete is not only safe ?it is more comfortable?it saves in drivifig costs?it costs less for upkeep?and cost of construction is less than that of any other pavement of equal load-carrying capacity. ? s .
