Blood Was Wrong
AH women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due
to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable,
scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly,
yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system,
relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system,
and toning up the nerves. During the past half century,
thousands of ladies have written to tell of ¿he quick curative
results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.

Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for
neaily ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C, she
says : " I was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back-
ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they
did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now
I am In the best health I have ever been. I can never praise
Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women.
Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try CarduL

CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA.
n
tta Symptoms Vory Often Roaomblo
Theeo of Heart Trouble.
The stomach is a patient organ.
Jt usually does its duty without
complaint, even when outrageous^
abused. But once its patience is
tried too far and it acquires the
querulous habit no amount of pla-
cating will quiet it.
No patient is so dreaded by the
doctor as the chronic dyspeptic, in
the first place, be does not always
find it easy to determine just where
the fault lies. Ob the one htupd, the
symptoms may mat suggest stomach
trouble at all. The patient may ho
convinced that his heart is ait fault,
and even the doctor may be deceiv-
ed at first into the same belief
by the palpitations, shortness not
breath, giddiness and pain in (the
i ft side, although these are not ra-
froquent signs of a rebellious stom-
ach. On the other hand, the symp-
toms of indigestion may be due npt
to any fault in the stomach itself,
tout to a reflex disturbance excited
by eye strain, spinai disease or somo
Other trouble in a part remote from
the digestive apparatus.
In a case of chronic indigestion
the first thing to do is to make syre
that it is not due to any of these
causes. The next thing is to deter-
mine whether there Is serious dis-
ease of the stomach—such as ulcer
er tumor. In most cases of "heart-
burn" or "acidity" there is no or-
ganic trouble—merely a failure on
the part of the stomach to empty
itself promptly and perhaps a de-
lect tn the gastric juice that allows
the contents of the stomach to fer-
ment.
Very simple measures often suf-
fice to give relief, such as the sij>-
of a glass of water half aa
Dur or so after meals or a gentle
rubbing of the abdomen just below
the ribs on the left side, which
causes the stomach to contract and
empty its contents into the intes-
tines. .
The diet should be regulated,
foods hard to digest should be
avoided, and the meals should be
taken at the same time each day
and at not too frequent intervals.
Of course constipation, if present;
should be corrected, and some sim-
stomachic may be necessary,
if the heartburn does not yield
the treatment suggested the
bysician had better be consulted,
lor the condition may be serious.—

A Colossal Idol.
Two miles from Kamakura and
about twenty from Yokohama, in
Japan, on a terrace near the temple
sits the most gigantic idol in the
world. It is the brazen image of a
deity aad dates from the reign of
the Emperor Shomu, who died A.
748. Tiio dimensions of this idol
colossal His height from the
of the tatú* flower upon which
he sits to tine top of his head is
•iity-thr«e mid a half feet. The
face is sixteen feet in length and
nine and a half feet wide, the eyes
•re three feet nine inches from cor-
o«r in corner, the eyebrows five and
a half feet and the ear* eight and a
half feet. The chest is twenty f^t
in d«j> h, and the mid<i)« finger jt
r
exactly five feet long. The fifty-six
leaves of the lotus throne are each
ten feet long and six feet wide.
An Aotor1* Epitaph.
In the churchyard of Qillingham,
England, is the following epitaph
on the tombstone of an actor:
"Sacred to the memory of Thomas
Jackson, comedian, who was en-
gaged December 21st, to play a
comic cast of characters in this
Great Theater, the World, for many
of which he was prompted by Na-
ture to excel. The season being
ended, his benefit over, the charges
all paid, and his account closed, he
maae his exit in the Tragedy of
Death on the 17th of March, 1791,
in full assurance of being called
once more to a rehearsal, whore he
hopes to find his forfeits all cleared,
his cast of parts bettered and his
situation made agreeable by Him
who paid the great stock debt for
the love He bore to Performers in
general."
Chano* For Mora Sleep.
A farmer roused his new harvest
hand from slumber in the haymow
promptly at 3 a. m.
"You can slip down and cut that
little patch of oats before break-
fast," he ordered.
"Are they wild oats?" sleepily
inquired the hired man.
"Wild? Why, no; they're tame
oats."
"Well, if they're tame maybe I
can slip up on them in daylight."—

Milking tho Cow.
"The sight of one of his good
cows standing under a tree down
the lane at milking time would
throw the modern dairyman into a
fev.er," writes Charles White in
Harper's Weekly. "The harmless,
necessaiy cow of these enlightened
times stands in her highly hygienic
stall, which is floored with concrete
and frequently scrubbed. The cow
herself is curried and brushed every
day. Where is the haymow? Gone;
gone with the milkmaid, tlie dodo
and the auk into the obsolete past.
One listens in vain around the barn
for the old slogan, 'Git over thar,
gol ding ye!' with the accompany-
ing bump of the knee against old
bossy's ribs. All that has gone out
too. Cruelty is costly. Kindness
pays. In these days of conservation
the man who mistreats animals is
picking his boss' pocket."
Spoakin' Personal.
"What* kind of a fellow is that
man Holloway?" asked the travel-
ing salesman of the corner grocery-
man.
"Honest as the day is long," as-
severated the village merchant.
"How do yon know that he is ?"

POISONS WE EAT DAILY.
Common Salt In Largo Quantities la as
Oaadly aa Aroanio.
When the doctor told me he was
prescribing prussic acid for the pain
in my stomach I said I would rath-
er keep the pain than take such a
poison.
"You need not have the slightest
fear," he assured me. "Why, you
eat poisons every day. When the
Chinese want to commit suicide
one of their favorite plans is to
take half a cup of salt."
"Common salt ?"
"Yes. In large quantities com-
mon salt is a violent irritant. It
sets up severe inflammation of the
stomach and kills as surely as -ar-
senic.
"Saltpeter, that colors bacon and
corned beef an attractive red, is a
Eowerful poison. One ounce has
illed a person in three hours.
Many people have been poisoned by
this salt.
"You must know that your
Christmas pudding and the icing of
your wedding cake are incomplete
unless flavored with bitter almonds.
I am not sure how many bitter alm-
onds it takes to kill a man, but
they contain a good deal of this
prussic acid that you object to.
"Oxalic acid, with which foolish
people so often commit suicide, is
the salt which gives rhubarb and
sorrel their pleasant flavor. It is a
violently irritant and dreadfully
painful poison.
"Need I tell you that caffeine, the
exhilarating principle of coffee and
tea, is a poison?
"In nearly all our condiments we
eat poison. The oils of nutmeg,
cloves, black pepper, cinnamon,
peppermint, carraway, horseradish,
thyme, etc., arc all poisonous in
large doses. Black pepper contains
a fiery, volatile oil, capable of burn-
ing a hole in your stomach if it
were not moved on, while its piper-
ine is a sure poison. Cayenne pap-
er, or capsicum, is still more irri-
nt.
"But, besides poisons which we
take from choice, there are others
which it is impossible to avoid swal-
lowing in these days of complex
feeding. Arsenic is a very common
ingredient in beer, jam, sweets,
etc., made with glucose. Fortunate-
ly, the liver acts more or less as a
filter and saves us from serious con-
sequences."—St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. •
Tho Happy Man.
An oriental monarch was anxious
to find out the secret of happiness.
He called to him all his wise men
and sages and debated with them
for many a day. Finally an old
man, who had hitherto remained
silent, arose and said: "Oh, king,
the secret of happiness is easily
mastered. All you have to do is to
secure the Bhirt of a happy man."
This advice seemed sensible to the
king, who immediately started forth
on a journey. He met thousands
and thousands of bis subjects, but
none of them was happy. At last,
in the remotest part of his king-
dom, he came across a man who ad-
mitted that he was happy. .
"Then give me your shirt," said
the king.
"I never had one," said the happy
man.
A Difference 'n Buttons.
Buttons make the supreme and
mysterious separation of the sexes.
And buttonholes! If as a man you
will go through your clothes, from
overcoat to the underclothes, you
will find that the buttons are on
the right and the buttonholes on
the left. But you will notice that
the feminine garments close up the
other way ¿nd that the woman de-
mands her buttonholes to corre-
spond. Feminine clothes fold from
right to left, masculine from left
to right. And there the problem
must be left by a puzzled commen-
tator.—Dundee Advertiser.

In these day of high cost of
living, a medicine that gets a man
up out of bed and able to work in
a few days is a valuable and wel-
come remedy. John Heath, Michi-
gan Bar, Cal., had kidney and blad-
der trouble, was confined to his
bed, unable to turn without help.
"I commenced using Foley Kidney
Pills and can truly say I was reliev-
ed at once." His example is worth
following. L W. Sweet
CaralManaaa Caua^a Bad Writing.
Talking of handwriting, an in-
dustrious journalist, who writes all
his copy legibly with his own right
hand, said that he couldn't under-
stand why any one should not write
legibly. It was quite as easy as
writing the other way. Only you
had to learn it young. Once you get
the careless habit with the pen or
pencil you cause endless confusion.
And you cannot cure the silly habit
of illegible writing when you grow
rather proud of it. There is an ar-
gument for the retention of the
writing master at school.—London
Chronicle.
