GRATEFUL THANKS
<( I write you a letter of grateful
thanks,” says Mrs. Fannie Rogers,
of Pages Mills, S. C., “for the good
that Cardui has done me. One day,
I was taken all of a sudden and
truly thought Death had struck me.
My head felt like it was frozen and
my limbs felt like they were burn
ing up. I kept getting worse and
the doctor only gave me temporary
relief. I had chills and fever, bad
appetite, bad feelings, bad dreams,
was irregular, and suffered from
other female troubles. At last I be
gan to take Cardui and almost found
relief in the first dose. I continued
to take it and can truthfully testify
that it is worth its weight in gold to
any suffering woman. Now I am
regular, can eat, sleep, and work
every day, and feel good. Oh! What
a God-send your medicine was to
me!”
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells
it. It is a gentle, curative remedy,
for women’s ills. Cardui cannot do
on any harm, and is nearly sure to
qreat good. Get a bottle today.
Mother,” enclosing 25 cents, 50 cents,
sl, or any amount your heart prompts,
and I am sure you will be pleased with
the way it is to be used. Then next
week, or may be the next, we will ex
plain it all. I do hope every one of
you will respond.
Love to all, from,

EDUCATION.
All intelligent people desire an ed
ucation, but some object to the pro
cess of refinement which they, like
the sugar, have to go through. They
do not think of the reward to be
reaped after for all their labors.
Some people seem to have an idea
that they will be educated in the night
and wake up some morning and find
themselves graduates. They are like
the boy who said, “Wai, sir, pa, he
say he gwine ter grajate me, but haint
sot the time yit.”
Some boys (and girls too), think
that just so they have a diploma
tacked on the wall they are “fixed” —
with all that is necessary.
When asked about her studies and
future plans, a certain girl answered,
“Well, I didn’t see the use of being a
regular, so I just took ‘special,’ be
cause, you see, I am just crazy to see
mamma, papa, brother, and somebody
else’s brother. I want to get my di
ploma, so I can a-he-he m—ma —mar-
ry.” That was her valuation and idea
of an education.
Another one gave as her answer
that she would be an elocution teach
er, “You know that doesn’t require so
much education.” “I’ll teach children
to say, ‘Solemnly, mournfully, dealing
its dole, The curfew bell is beginning
to toll.’”
Some people may call this elocution,
but, for my part, I think it is more
fitly called, “yellocution”!
The country boy or girl often has
more showing in town, than the town
boy or girl has in the country.
A young lady from the city went to
visit in the country. She oh’d! and
ah’d! over eveything until at last
they went in to supper. She saw
the golden Jersey butter and said,
“Oh! you keep a cow, do you?” “Yes,
mum,” replied the farmer, “we keeps
cows/’ Dipping her spoon into the
clear honey, she exclaimed, “And, oh!
you keep a bee, too.” She was lack
ing in the simple things of life, not
withstanding a supposed education.
A mother who was strongly op
posed to higher education for girls
and boys said she thought you could
learn a great deal more through read
ing than in any other way and didn’t
think people should go to college, but
depend on reading books.
Wonder who was going to write the
books?
Rome was once the flower of the
world, but for want of the right kind
of knowledge it has fallen. Venice,
in the same way, was once a beauti
ful flourishing city, but now it has
fallen and its only attraction is to
educate people who wish to visit its
historic, moss-covered ruins.
Our education to be complete must
have both a thorough literary foun
dation and a comprehensive knowl
edge of God and His teachings.
How glorious after strife to mount
the ladder of fame and stand on the
top round conscious of having done
our full duty “as we mount to its sum
mit round by round.”
How can any one truthfully say,
“Education is a farce”?
When God gave us our bodies as
houses for the soul, He also gave us
a mind which He wished us to de
velop so that it might help the soul
to do the right, and if we fail in
this we are going against God’s
wishes land teachings, ifor His ex
ample and teachings were always to
use the best that was in us in that
way that would serve humanity most
and honor Him most.

A BREEZE.
Dear Little Mother: I have been a
constant reader of Voices of Youth
for quite a while, and have decided to
ask you if you don’t want to add a
mischievous, freckled-faced “Naughty
Girl” to your already numerous fam
ily, and let her tell you something of
the many things that somehow just
happen, to always hit her “broad
side.” Most of your children seem to
be preachers or missionaries, or some
such gocd specimens of humanitv un
til I decided, if they didn’t nave some
thing to hold them down, first thing
you knew they would all be trans
planted—no—translated, like Enoch
was, and you wouldn’t have any fam
ily left, see? It’s awfully nice and
easy to be good on paper, but I’ll just
venture, Little Mother, that however
good you may be now, you can remem
ber how hard it was to be good when
the dinner dishes were to be washed
on a right hot day, just after you had
ironed all morning, and the little girl
or maybe the little boy across the
way, had something nice to tell you
that you were just dying to know. And
when you tried so hard just to give a
“lick and a promise,” and your mam
ma would come in and say, “Now,
Naughtie,” like mine does, "you are
leaving the spoons in the dishes of
leftovers; take them out, and don’t
leave those stove things to soak, wash
them all up. Be sure you don’t leave
the kitchen until you have swept
everywhere nicely.” Just then that
little —yes —'boy was up on the fence,
a-motioning for you to come on, and
yon were good and didn’t make faces
or think things? Honest now? Well,
may be you didn’t, but you weren’t
naughty, and I am, so will you let me
come to see your good children? Since
they are preachers and missionaries,
may be they can make me good. But
just ask mamma if she thinks so.
NAUGHTY GIRL.
A woman borrowed eggs of a neigh
bor when eggs were at 24 cents a
dozen. She returned the eggs, the
same number, when the price had
fallen to 12 cents. The question is,
has she paid her neighborly debt?
This problem is said to be vexing a
Kansas town, and the settlement of it
involves a great principle. Shall the
borrower of a cup of molasses, a table
spoonful of butter, a hod of coal, re
turn the loan in kind and quantity, or
figure the equivalent in the market
price? The satisfactory answer is that
repayment should be made before the
market has time to shift. But the
controversy will not arise if there is
no borrowing.—Exchange.
The French shampoo used by bar
bers is made by dissolving one ounce
of borax and half an ounce of ammo
nia in a quart of water; then add two
ounces of glyverine, and three ounces
of bay rum. Bottle this and it will
last a long time. When it is to be used
the hair is moistened with the liquor,
then shampooed with the hands until
it lathers, then washed off with clean
water.
Cancer Increasing.
While statistics show that Cancer is
on the increase—that each year adds
thousands of victims to this disease —
fortunately, great advancement has
been made in its treatment and cure.
Pioneer among the specialists on Can
cer is Dr. Bye, of Kansas City, Mo.,
who has probably treated and cured
more cases than any other physician.
To give the afflicted an understanding
of the natre of Cancer, also to prove
his success to those who wish to in
vestigate, he has published a book,
“Message of Hope,” which will be
sent free to any one writing DR. W.
O. BYE, Ninth and Broadway, Kansas
City, Mo.
