C "They grew worse, till I would often faint I could not walk at all, and 1 had an awful hurting in my side; also a headache and a backache. I gave up and thought I would die, but my husband urged me to try Cardui, so, I began, and the first bottle helped me. By the time the third bottle was used, I could do all my work. All the people around here said I would die, but Cardui relieved me." Cardui WomatfsTonTc For more than 50 years, Cardui has been relieving woman's sufferings, and making weak women strong and welL During this time, thousands of women have written, like Mrs. McPherson, to tell of the really surprising results they obtained by the use of this purely vegetable, tonic remedy for women. Cardui strengthens, builds, restores, and relieves or pre vents unnecessary pain and suffering from womanly troubles. If you are a woman, begin taking Cardui, today.

MEAD CYCLE COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILL. '^?^ Jf ,s A MAN'S BUSINESS RESPON I^^V^f SIBLE FOR I~HE MAIN? I knew a man a few years ago who was a clerk in an express ofllce. If lifo had been too pleasant for me for a week or two, and I needed to knock elbows with a surly man just to strike a proper balance, I used to send a package via that particular man, in that particular olllce. He was the sourest, bitterest, most caustic citizen I ever met. Later, being out of a position, he took to soliciting insurance, vand I no ticed that ho acquired a warmth of handgrasp and smile that I had thought impossible to such a man. He becamo an energetic, sympathetic, genuine sort of man. Afterward, by some strange freak of fate, he became a private nurse; for his nerves were steady and his patience Inexhaustible. Then I saw him no more for three years. The other day I met him. He was like a tamed and broken-down woman. He was pcrvilc, fawning. His every word was a caress and every action gentle. He had no opinions of Iiis own. He called me "sir" with a sort of habitual humbleness?a fawning delicacy. And, altogether, in the bottom of my heart, I pitied him. Men's natures are influenced by the business they are In. You cannot af ford to slight that consideration in choosing an occupation. TROUBLES IN MEXICO BECOME MORE SERIOUS Mexican Government Makes a Sharp Reply to State Department at Wash Ington--Intervention Possible. From the dispatches passing hack and forth between .Mexico and Wash ington, it appears that the troubles In the republic south of the United States are daily becoming more seri ous. President Madero, who succeed ed Diaz some months ago, seems to lack the necessary iron will to control Mexican affairs, lie is now ac tual ruler over only a portion of Mexican territory. the remaining states being in a state of seething re bellion. A crisis is fast approaching. What part the United States will take in the future is a matter of conjec ture, but "it seems that this country is becoming more and more involved and it seems that It will only be a question of time before she will take an active part In suppressing the law lessenss. Warning to Mexicans. April 14th warning was issued by the I'nited States to the Mexican gov ernment as well as to General Pascual Oronzco, chief of the revolutionary forces that "it expects and must de mand that American life and property within the republic of Mexico be just ly and adequately protected, and that this government must hold Mexico and the Mexicans responsible for all wanton or illegal sacrificing or en dangering of American life or damag ing of American property or Interests. The attitude of the I'nited States as expressed to both the federal and rebel authorities \fi that any mal treat blent of American citizens "will be deeply resented by the American gov ernment and people and must be fully answered for by the Mexican people" The following Wednesday the fol lowing dispatch was sent out from Mexico: Mexico Defiant. Mexico City, April 17.?Mexico re plied to the warning note of Acting Secretary Huntington Wilson tonight, declining to assume responsibility for Orozco's acts, denying the right of the Washington government to deliver the admonition contained therein, tak ing exception to the communication directed to Orozco through Consul LetcheT and deploying the making public of this communication In the same note to which the government was required to make answer. The reply was made public by Min ister of Foreign Relations Calcro. It denies the right of the Washington government to admonish Mexico for the reason that it Is not based on any justifiable incident. It denied respon sibility by the constituted government for acts committed in territory In j rohelllon, while accepting full, re sponsibility for every loss or dam ago sustained by foreigners legally chargeable to the government. Safelj of Prisoners. A caution has been issued to leaders of the federal forces to Insure prop er treatment of foreigners who may lw> taken an prisoners of war, at the samo time it Is asserted that no basis ex 4 lsts for supposing that any other courso would be pursued. Orozco Is held to be answerable for bis offenses on to the Mexican courts and therefore, the reply as serts, he should not have been made the recipient of a diplomatic com munication. After setting forth at length the clauses of the Washington note, tho minister continued: "In reply and by express Instruc tions of the president of the republic, I have the honor to say to your excel lency: "Tho Mexican government has a full consciousness of lts?duties and neither by its acts nor by the mani festation of its functionaries has it given a reason to doubt the sincerity of its determination to cause to be respected the generally accepted prin ciples of International law and the rules which govern the conduct of civilized nations. Your government has recognized this in the note which I have the honor to answer and by means of other repeated demonstra tions of friendship toward the gov ernment and people of .Mexico, which demonstrations BO highly and so cor dially have been esteemed in this country. lliuiit No! Recognized. "For these reasons the Mexican government finds itself in the painful necessity of not recognizing the right of your government to make the ad monition which the note contains, for the reason that it is not based on anv incident ;ha; should be chargeable to the Megican government and which could signify that it might have de parted from an observance of the principles and practices of interna tional law. "In view of the fact that a part of the country is In a state of rebellion, the Mexican government has as Its principal duty the suppression of the rebellious movement, and If the re gions removed from obedience to the legitimate authorities, attempts are Committed against the lives and the property of foreigners, the legitimate government of the republic will not be obligated In this respect except In the same terms as would the govern ment of the I'nited States or any other country if a rebellion exists in its own territory."
