fJ'fl1UI IS A SPLEOID TOI Says Boyd Lady in Telling of He Experience With Cardui. Recom. mends It to Others. Boyd, Ala,-"About six years- ago,' ,Writes Mrs. Emma McBride, of this place, "I got run down in health... My weight went down to less than 140, and I am a large woman, and have large 'bones. My usual weight is much more. :f got a very bad complexion and was Aark under my eyes... "I kept getting worse all the time, -would be so very nervous, that, at 'times, I'd have nervous chills. Couldn't --rest well at night, for some time... I -suffered great pain in stomach or lower abdomen, hips, left side, and back, also had a dull headache. I could hardly do my work at all, could ,only drag around all the time, and finally for 3 weeks I was confined to ay bed and suffered great agony all ithe time. "Mrs. -, of Boyd, recommended ithat I take Cardul. I began using it and when I started on the second bot tle, I could see that I was getting a whole lot better. After using the third bottle, I felt I didn't need any more medicine whatever. I never had an other nervous spell after taking the Cardul... It's a splendid tonic... I do hope women suffering as I did will use it." If you suffer as this lady did, try Cardul, the woman's tonic. For sale by all druggists. A Successful Failure. Ryder-Was Jonei' aliship a suc -cess?

J. M. HUGHES IS PRESIDENT New Offloers Are Elected.-Charles R. Weeks, Retiring President, Sends Message. Columbia.-A most successful con. ierence of the South Carolina Feder ation of Fairs was hold at Columbia. Sixteen fair associations in the state were represented. J. M. Hughes, secretary of the Or angeburg Fair association and vice president of the state association, pre sided. Charles R. Weeks, retiring presi dent of the federation, was absent but sent his address, which was read at the meeting by William R. Timmons of Rock Hill. secretary of the York county fair. He said in part: "I do not believe that circuits ar ranged on geographic location will he successful for three reasons: Each fair spends a different amount of money for free attractions; different towns in a geographically arranged circuit are apt to give very different support to the fair and to the shows; and amusement companies rate the fairs differently. "As you all know, I am for an edu cational fair, but I am now ready to confess that we must be careful not to depend on educational features at the expense of loss in paid admis sions, which after all is the life blood of a fair. Here is the principle we must recognize. Our race came up from savagery through barbarism, chivalry, to civilization. No doubt our race spent more time in the barbaric stage than we have in the civilized. The Europeafi war shows how easy it is to drop back. Science tells us that every individual repeats the race history. The barbarian likes excite ment, show, glamor, noise, rings in his nose and bracelets on his ankles. If we get tle people tp the fair, that we may educate them after they get there, we must appeal to them through amusements that satisfy their racial inheritance, of which we all have our share. Of course it is the duty of the fair officers to see that the amuse r ments meets these requirements and is clean and elevating. This certainly is a problem for your discussion." The following subjects were dig cussed: "Arrangement of Circuits on Basis of Size of Fairs Rather Than Location," J. M. Hughes, Orangeburg; "How to Secure Attractions With Least Expense and Secure Maximum Percentages," Paul V. Moore, Spar tanburg; "Pass and Ticket Troubles," J. W.

Tomorrow morning, immediately up on arising, drink a glass of hot watei with a teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it. This is Intended to firai neutralize and then wash out of yotu stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the, indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime. stone phosphate from your druggist or at the store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the Inside than on the outside, be cause the skin pores do not absorb im purities into the blood, causing dis ease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people practice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos phate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.-Adv. Fair Warning. "How did you happen to be late this morning, Jobson?" "Why-er, Mir.

Try Grandmother', Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beauti ,fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

By asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 60 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.

You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an other application,. or two, it' is re stored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and ,abundant.-Adv. Modern Superiority.
