Don't Suffer!
"I had been troubled, a little, for nearby 7 years," writes
Mr*. L Flncher, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was
not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had
to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I got no
better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, 1 tried
Cardui, ard soon 1 began to improve. Now I am in very
good health, and able to do all my housework.19
Cardui V/oman'sTonic
You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after
other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is
successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients,
that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine
for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and
restores v tak and ailing women, to health and happiness.
If you suffer like Mrs. Finche* did, take Cardui. It
will su/ely do for you, what it did for her. At all druggists.

ough truth to it. however, for the
foundation of the story which was
printed in a number of papers in this I
Statt', copied from a Georgia paper.
The report is that a man was cap?
tured at Lams at the time stated in
the story, that the heard had grown
out on his face, almost to conceal it,
hut further than this in- was not wild.
m?r had a very wild appearance. He
tried to get away and was very sullen
at first, refusing to talk about him?
self to those who asked questions of

1,000 POSTMASTERS RESIGN.
Because of Order Placing Them in
Civil Service.
Washington, March 20. Because of
tin- decision of the classified civil ser?
vice to provide fourth-class postmas?
ters, and the announcement thai post
masters of that class would be asked
to qualify In a competitive examina?
tion, the Post office Department has
been flooded with resignations from
the service,
At present resignation! are reaching
the department at the rate of about
10 a day, and officials declare that
nbout 8,000 fourth-class postmasters
have resigned since the executive or?
der covering them Into civil service
was issued. Practically all of the
resignations are In poatofflces where
the postmasters salary Is merely nomi?
nal, and Whore, at times the expense
of conducting the office equals the
postmaster's compensation.
la many of the eases it will be ex?
ceedingly difficult to secure appli?
cants who will take the prescribed ex?
amination. While the department is
endeavoring to securi new postmas?
ters, tin- Incumbents, although they
have r< signed, will be forced to dis?
charge the duties of the office.
