Master’s Safe. State of South Carolina, 1 Barnwell County. f of Coi Court M. C. Diamond, ommon Pleas. against Alonzo Harley and C. L. Plaintiff, THURSDAY DECEMBER 17. 1914. ' Do PeopL Went Work. Do people realty want work? That is a question that is open to ' considerable discussion. Realizing the distressing conditions that hundreds - of people are facing, The Augusta Chronicle last week offered to pub lish free of charge advertisements for those in search of work. On Sunday that paper published a lengthy letter from a farmer living near Thomson, Ga., in which the writer called atten tion to the fact that in spite of the general cry of “no work” he is experi encing considerable difiiculty in get ting sufficient help to carry on his farm operations, telling at length of his troubles during the past year and at the present time. And in all of the “want ads.” published by the Chro nicle there was not a single applicant for farm work. The great trouble these days is that a majority of the people are looking for “soft” jobs—sinecures, in which there is very little real work and quite a lot of money. Too many have been leav ing the farms in search of work in the citiesf until now, when there is a general business depression, hundreds and thousands are being thrown out of employment. But even with poverty and want staring them in the face, the experience of this Georgia farmer shows that few if any are willing to go back to the country where, even though the work is hard, a livelihood is as sured. The countries engaged in war will of necessity look to the United States for a large part of the actual necessities of life. Their armies and their private citizens must be fed and clothed. Cot ton for clothing we have in abundance, but there is bound to be a demand for foodstuffs. Let the vast army of the unemployed seek for opportunities like the one offered by the Georgia farmer, take up once more the work of producing and cease to pe clogs in the wheels of industry. This road leads to comfort at least—the other to privation and want. Harley, Defendants.

She says further: “Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic a trial I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad and it always does me good.” ’ Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, Worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s tome. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cartkii lor yow* trouble: It has been helping women for more than fifty years. Get a Bottle Today! mwg <1 -.
