Where one college dots a hill, a thousand high schools fill the valleys sistent with good government, and good government is the aim of all constituted authority. The State acts upon the theory that inasmuch as she has the power to enforce law, she is under the obligation to her citize is to so educate every voung man or young woman that he or she shall be capable of interpreting her laws so that they may be obeyed. This she does through her high schools. I question 1 the right of any State to provide a college education for any of her citizens.

My greatest trouble was irregu larity. 1 also suffered with severe pains, every month, but now I am greatly improved and will recommend Car dui to all my suffering friends." p CARDUI The Women’s Tonic The rare medicinal herbs of Cardui ire imported by the manufacturers direct from Europe and are not to be found n any other medicine. These ingredients are what give Cardui its superiority, as a female medicine and tonic, over anv other medicine. For over 9Q years .Cardui has been the favorite wom an’s medicine^ The ladies like it, because it is so easy to take, so gentle, so safe, so reliable in its results, and they have faith in its curative tonic powers, because of the thousands of other ladies it has helped Try it today.

The writer has just returned from a tour of several hundred miles of farming country in Illinois and Wis consin among some of the richest and most progressive fanners in the world. I am going to tell what I saw that explains the almost unpar- alled prosperity of these farmers, but perhaps a better explanation may be found in what 1 did NOT see. For example, take this list: No mules. No cabins. % • S' No gullies. . No old fields. No forest fires. No big plantations No one-horse plows. No loafers at depots. No sheep-killing dogs. No small work horses. No stumps in the field. No factory-slave children. No commercial fertilizers. No farm homes unpainted. No one-room school houses. No farms withoutjive stock. No anaemic-looking children. No land without cover crops. No burning of vegetable matter. No cows or mules with ribs show ing. No parasite store at every cross roads. No farms cut up into piddling patches. No surface-scratchirg miscalled plowing. No farm home without sanitary conveniences. , r No farmer “bossing” hands with out working himself. And it might be said in conclusion, that there we no negroes and conse quently no white men and women either waiting for negroes to do work they might do themselves, or abstaining from what their hands found to do from any absurd idea that it was “beneath them.”—Clar ence Poe, in.
