ALMOST FAINTED WHILE STANDING And Suffered Dreadfully From Headache, Backache and Diz ziness. Says Now That Women Are Foolish To Suffer and Tells Why. New Augusta, Miss.--In relating her -experience, Miss Irene H. Craft, of this town, says: "I have been troubled for a right smart while with female weakness. I was irregular . . . and was down in bed about all the time. I had chills and fever with these trou bles for at least a year, and a great deal of dizziness, headache and back ache. When I was sick at each month, I had to stay in bed all the time, be cause my back would ache and my head would swim so that I would al most faint if I stood on my feet. I endured this for about three years. Finally, I began to doctor with a doc tor. He did not help me much. Then he recommended Cardui, and I began to take it. I took about one bottle and felt much better. I have taken a whole lot now, and feel just all right. I have no backache, headache, or dizziness now. I think women are foolish to suffer when they can take so helpful a rem edy as Cardui, and I surely praise it to every one." If you suffer from any of the ailments so common to women, why not give Cardui a trial? Such earnest statements as the above speak for themselves, and we receive thousands of similar ones every year. Your druggist sells Cardui. Get a bottle today. Full directions in every package. Weather Signs. "Husks are very thick on the corn, and it looks as if we would have a long, cold ' winter," said the weather sharp. "There's another sign which is more convincing to me than the thick cornhusks," replied his neighbor. "And what is that?" "The thin lining on my winter over coat." Plain. "Are you a plain cook?" "I suppose I could be purtler, mum." -Boston Transcript. Some men can't even blame ciga rettes for their failure to make good. Going It Too Hard -We are inclined nowadays to "go it too hard;" to overwork, worry, eat and drink too much, and to neglect our rest and sleep. This fills the blood with uric acid. The kidneys weaken and then it's a siege of backache, dizzy, nervous spells, rheumatic pains and distressing urinary disorders. Don't wait for worse troubles. Strengthen the kidneys.

DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. H. E. Thompson, secretary of the South Carolina Poultry and Pigeon Association, says that indications this year are that the poultry and pigeon entries of the state :air will surpass in (aulity and number those of any preceding year. Last spring there was unusual activity in many sections of the state to organize county associa tions and this he thinks has done much to emphasize the work of the state organization. The building will be open for the reception of the 'birds Saturday, October 23. One of the rules governing the classification is that entries shall con sistQf single specimens, lbreeding pens and display yards. The entrance fees for these are: Single specimens, 50 cents each; breeding pens, consisting of one cockerel and four hens, $2; display pens for exhibition purposes only, $3. Birds in single classes do not compete for breeding pen prices, and vice versa. The management is urging that tur key exhibitors make no entries in the breeding pen class. Previous experi ence is shown that it is well nigh im possible to confine five turkeys in a singile coop and prevent injury from fightnig. Exhibitors are also urged to make all shipments by express. They are reminded too that it is highly import ant to see that the shipping tags bear the "breed, sex and band number." Premiums have been provided for the prize 'birds of all popular and miscellaneous breeds. Turkey and pigeon entry classes are also numer ous and the varied list of prizes should encourage entries from all classes. In addition to the schedule of regu lar cash prizes, many additional and special prIzes have been offered. Some of these are to he made in cash. Oth ers consist of sterling silver leg bands and many other useful premiums. Red Cross Seal Campaign. The Red Cross Seal Commission of South Carolina has reopened its of fice In the Union National Bank build ing and is planning to conduot again the energetic state-wide sale of the seals which are to be used during the month of December on the 'backs of letters, packages, menus, theatre pro grammes and any place they will stick. The commission has sent in an or der to the National Red Cross Society for a s hpiment of 400,000 lRed Cross Christmas seals and advertising ma terial in proportion. In 1913 there were sold in South Carolina applroxi mately 250,000 of these little messen ger-s of health. In 1914, owing to the depressed financial condition of the state, the sale approximated only abhout 150,000. Th'is year, with the financial outlook more encouraging, the commission hopes to be alble to dispose of the entire lot of 406,000, and as enthusiastic campaign for se curing agents in the towns through out the state to place the seals on sale is now begun. The officers of the commission for ..915-16 are James HI. Fowles, ('olum bia, chairman; Miss Louly Shand, Ce lumibia, vice chairman, Mrs. Philip Rich, Orangeb~urg, vice chairman, and Miss Julie Heyward Columbia, secretary and treasurer. University Enrollment Grows. The enrollment of the University of South Carolina for the current ses sioni has reached 521. This is an in crease by eig'ht over the total enroll ment last year. Approximately 75 stu dents mastir-culated after this (late last fall, which would indicate that the attendance this year wvould roach 575 South Carolina Stands Sesond. South Carotlina is second among all the states in farm demonstration work under federal auspices andl is among the first ten states in home demonstration work under the same auspices, according to a remark made 'by Bradford Knapp, head of the farm demonstration service, during his visit to Columbia the other day. Mr. Knapp was trallking to William Spen cer Currell, president of the Univer sity of South Carolina. "That is a highly gratifying showing," said Dr. Currell. Hayne to Address Carolina Mayors. James A. Hayne, M. D., state health officer, has been invited by Mayor L. A. Griffith to speak at the meeting of the mayors of South Carolina at the Jefferson hotel Monday moruing, Oc tober 25 at 9 o'clock on the subject of the best -plan of san'itation for small torvns without sewerage. The meeting of the proposed state associa tion of anayors will 'be the first official act under the program of the harvest jufbilee, which has been promoted 'by the C'olmhia chamber of commr.. Sumter Seek* Government Dairy. Prof. W. W. Long of iemson Col lege, state agent of the co-operative extension work in agriculture and home oconomics, while in Sumter with David F. Houston, secretary of agri culture, and Dr. Bradford Knapp, dis. cussed with Secretary Reardon of the chamber of commerce two important matters of interest to the agricultural districts of Sumter county. Prof. Long informed Mr. Reardon that he would upon his return to Clemson take u-p with the chamber of commerce the question of the establishment of a gov ernment creamery and dairy route in Sumter county. Prof. Long also agreed that Tues day and Wednesday, October 26 and 27 would suit his department for the two day county campaign in this county to encourage the planting of wheat, winter cover crops and exten sion of the "live at home" principle and diversification methods on the farm, raising of more and improved breeds of cattle, swine and poultry, this campaign to be in conjunction with the state department of agricul ture if Commissioner Watson would co-operate, which was expected to be the case. The establishment of a government dairy in the county would mean much to the farmers in the way of teaching them modern sanitary methods of dairying, as well as providing better marketing fa:cilities. * The corn seed breeding station of the South Carolina Plant Breeders' As sociation, under the direction of Clem son College, to be established in Sum ter county early in 1916, is another valuable government institution which will be of great benefit to the farm ers of the county. Sumter has been positively assured that this plant would be established on a tract of land on the plantation of H. L. Scar borough, county clerk of court. If the government and state department car spare enough experts to cover the va rious subjects during the two day "live at home" campaign, the local committee intends enlisting the inter ests of the (boys and girls in corn planting, poultry raising, etc., by hav ing them attend the lectures of these experts. It is contemplated that there will be six meetings in the county, three on each of the two days of the campaign and ample time will be al loted at each meeting to cover all the subjects set down on the program. A night meeting will be held in the city of Sumter. Seizures Reflect Unusual Activity. The activity of the constables of Charlestod in seizing beer, whiskey and other 'intoxicants is clearly shown in a comparative statement, which has been sent Gov. Manning by John Marshall, secretary of the Charleston county dispensary board. The state ment gives the amount of intoxicanti seized by the constables and polict respecitvely, during the months of May to September, inclusive, and compares the figures for 1914 and 1915 in the, seizures by the city police For the five months of 1915 the constables seized beer, whiskey and other intoxicants to the value of $7,353.47, as compared with a seizure by the police during the same period of $840.77. In 1914 for the same period the police seized $651.42 worth of intoxicants. Charleston Leads Whiskey Sales.

Writing from The House of the Good Shepherd, at Sunnyside Ave., and 60th St., Seattle, where she is the guest of her life-long friend the Reverend Mother, Mrs. Mary Austin, widow of a wealthy San Franciscan, who lost ev erything in the fire of 1906, says she experienced speedy relief from the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and that she found this gentle, pleasant tasting laxative more effective than several doses of castor oil. The active principles of certain laxa tive herbs are combined in Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin to act on the olim inative organs in an easy, natural way, without griping or other discomfort. Its freedom from opiate or narcotic drug of every description, combined with its gentle action and positive ef fect, make it the ideal laxative for family use.
