You Need a Tonic There are times In every woman's life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places. When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take-Cardul, the woman's tonic. Cardui is com posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the salne for you. You can't make a mistake in taking The Woman's Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F.T. No. 4, Alma, Ark. says: "I think Cardui is the greatest medicine nea for women. Before I began to take Cardt i, as so weak and nervous, and had such aw dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything."

I think we should strive to make our school house and grounds the most attractive place in the commun ity for there the children spend the greater part of their time. Let each school observe Arbor Day each year and on that day let each child, parent and teacher plant some thing. Have the men and boys plant the trees, dig the trenches, etc. and the women and girls lay off the flower beds and plant the flowers. Instead of planting so many water oaks for shade I would suggest plant PEN AND INK l)li4AWING T his school won a Stir ing pecan trees. 'T'hey don't grow so quickly but will in time make splen did shades and the nuts will afford an untold amount of enjoyment for the children. On the back side of the campus plant a few walnut trees. They grow and bear quickly and also make very good shade. A pretty green hedge around the school grounds add greatly to the beauty of the place and can be had without a great amount of trouble and time expended. I don't like vines running over the building. While they are pretty I think they are injurious to the build ing. The place for them is over a summer house. I think a good size for the house would be about 8 feet by 16 feet, and it would take six cedar posts. On the inside make two long slatted benches.

The sight of this un 1hought-of response to our invitation filled us teachers with an Inspiration that will never be forgotten.

Pretty beds of violets and lillies at sutitable places add niuch to the beau ty of the grounds. I would suggest planting roses on a little plot or gar den to themselves. Let each girl plant one rose bush, name it and give it her special atention, and I feel sure they would soon have at variety of pretty roses and take great pride In caring for them. F'reqiuent visits of the parents to the school and inquiries about their Su oess with their flowers will be a great Incentive in keeping alive the interest of the children In beautifying the grounds.

I will never forget the thrill of joy I felt as I looked into the face of an elderly man who had written his name for the first tiwe. His expression was that of one who had anlocked the chest and found the buried treasure. Again I was repaid when a married man came to me greatly elated over the fact of having learned to write his wife's name. With the joy on these oasions came also shame.
