Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little urhil* anrt miilft nnt wallr anvwhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it. From the very first dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recommend it. Begin taking Cardui today. Write to: Chattanooga Medicine Co.. Ladles* Advisory Dept.. Chattanooga.

Please bear this in mind. tf ashioi iiig and Summer is u IN ALL BUSINESS, Will Help Farmers, I have noted with considerable interest your several articles on the Torrens system of :and title registration. I am glad that you have been able to get the law on the statute books of North Carolina. I trust that Georgia will soon have such a law. The land banks that are now proposed by the Federal governr ..t will be of little use to those States where the land titles are in such chaotic condition as they are in all the States where this system is not I. in vogue. With this law on the book,making a certainty of titles, the land owner ought to be able to get money at 5 to 6 per cent interest instead of at the figures at which it is now gotten ?sometimes twice that high. With you advocating it in other States and with Tom Watson advocating it in Georgia, all the Southj eastern section of the United States should soon have such a law. I congratulate you on the excellence of your paper. You might be interested to know that I subscribe and pay for a copy of your paper to be sent to each of my white tenants. I consider it money well invested.? Robf L Shipp, in The Progressive Farmer. Food lor Thought. Last year a party of Government sanitary experts made a tour of the South. Here in Alabama they told us that we did not love our wives and children as much as the men of other sections do theirs. They based this opinion on our acts rather than on our words. They said that we allow our wives to cook in unscreened kitchens and to use inconvenient and unsanitary water closets. The farmers in many other parts of the country would not permit this for a moment. They think too much of the health and the comfort of the girls whom they have chosen to be their helpmates. It does look a little bad for us, doesn't it ? We claim to be surpassed by none in our love for our families. But the old saying still holds good: "Deeds speak louder than words." When, then, a body of intelligent, scientific, unprejudiced men tell us the plain, straight trutn, let us not get mad and jump up and down in frenzy, but go right to work to correct the evil. Few of us, fortunately, are too poor to afford enough wire netting * a i 1.1 an<l screen aoors to enclose me kitchen and dining-room, even though we do not screen the rest of the house. Two yards of wire screen tacked upon the outside of the window does the work nicely, leaving the sash free for raising or! lowering. Again, it requires no money and but little effort to clean the pit of a dry closet twice a week and to sprinkle it with lime. These two simple precautions,! aside from the question of comfort and decency, may save ourselves and our families from sickness and even from death.? G G BrowneU, in The Progressive Farmer. Tbe Torrens System. There are at present many expensive and old-fashioned methods connected with the transfer of real estate. Every transfer of title appears to call for a new investigation and a new fee for the lawyer. The Torrens system simplifies the whole matter, while in it the State beis Are ow here in ii wide var . COLO Kingstre I comes the surety for the title. A small fee for another certificate of title will be the entire cost. The old saving1 "caveat ejnptor" let the buyer be cautious, or let him look out that his purchase is all right, i9 good enough in its way, yet it i.? more or less of a reflection on the honesty of the seller. We have in mind a recent instance, in which the sale of a piece of property was involved. It was found upon investi 1 * j nation that the title was not goon, though an attorney had given it as his opinion that the "title was good and merchantable." There was, of course, no sale, though the owner had no redress. We append below the system as condensed by Mr j Watson: "The Torrens system, in a nutj shell is this: "The State examines the titles, ' surveys the property, and registers j a clear title, accompanied by the j plat; a certificate is then issued to [ the owner, and when he sells and mades a deed to the buyer, he surrenders his certificate to the regI istrar. who issnps a npw nnp to thp new owner. "You can see at once how this process simplifies the transfer of property, cuts out fees for abstracts of title, and abolishes lawsuits over titles and boundary lines. "Any dispute about the title or the lines is settled by the State, before the property is registered. "This clearing of the title and the lines is done by an official examiner, appointed for that purposes, and put under bond. "If any dispute arises, all parties are notified and the case is laid before a court. (In New York the case goes at once to the supreme court). "When this court passes upon the questions raised, they are settled forever. I "It is strange that I have urflred this simple and most beneficial change so many years without having aroused anything more than a casual interest. "Year after year, neighbors fuss over land-lines, get into fights, and i then go into law suits. "Year after year, lawyers are paid to look up chains of title and make costly abstracts. "Year after year, lawyers, jurors and judges are taken up with litigation over titles. "All of this expense, worry and bad feeling could be cut out by the adoption of the Torrens System. "But the dear people fill the Legislatures with lawyers, and the lawyers are naturally slow to dry up so beautiful a stream of revenue. "? Progress! re Former. Making Cloth Waterproof. "I want a good method for making waterproof duck or canvas which I use for wagon cover and also to cover my seed beds." Take three pints of linseed oil; one ounce of acetate of lead; quarter of a pound of rosin. Grind the lead acetate in a little oil and then add the rest and the rosin. Put the?e into an iron pot over a mod?;atc fire to melt. Stretch the canvas tight by tacking it on a frame, and then apply the mixture with a flat brush. It will be readv for use in 24 hours.?The Progressive Farmer. How To dive Quinine To Children. PEBRILINE is the trade-mark name riven to an improved Quinine. It is a Tasteless Syrup, pleasant to take and does not disturb the stomach. Children take it and never know it is Quinine. Also especially adapted to adults who cannot take ordinary Quinine. Does not nauseate nor cause nervousness nor ringing in the head. Try it the next time you need Quinine for any purpose. Ask for 2-ounce original package.
