REMARKABLE RECOVERY OF BED
FORD CITY LADY AFTER
MANY YEARS OF SUF
FERING.
After lingering in the throes of pain
and misery for years Mrs. M. C. Gills,
of Bedford City, Va., now finds herself
almost miraculously cured. Here is her
own story. She writes: “1 have been
a sufferer for many years with indiges
t.on and other stomach troubles. I
could not eat anything scarcely that
did not make me sick. I was nervous
at nights and bothered considerably
with a hacking cough. I have spent
about $200.00 with doctors, besides
trying many medicines but could not
get any relief. I bought a 25c bottle
of Conquerine, and have gained nine
pounds while taking it. I can now eat
anything I want and enjoy it. My
cough is lots better and I sleep fine. I
wish I could tell everybody about Con
querine.” Conquerine is guaranteed
an infallible remedy for indigestion,
constipation, dyspepsia, sour stomach,
nervousness and all other stomach
troubles. It strengthens the nerves,
builds up the system, produces a hear
ty appetite and sound, restful sleep.
Get a bottle from your dealer, 25c, 50c
or SI.OO size, and if it doesn’t relieve
you, your money will be refunded.

ple bottle.
the home the very bulwark of the na
tion and of civilization? How impor
tant, then, that the sex most concern
ed in the home have a voice in the
making of those laws and the mould
ing of that civilization!
That women are given to wrangling
among themselves sounds absurd com
ing from men as a reason for denying
her political rights, for there are no
greater wranglers than men them
selves when a political question is
being discussed. Where and when has
ever met an important assembly in
time of peace which wrangled more
and accomplished less than has our
Congress of men during its last few
sessions. And will any one dare as
sert that less would have been accom
plished had those august bodies been
composed wholly or in part of the op
posite sex? Ah, brethren, before you
attempt to argue against woman suf
frage cast the beam out of thine own
eye and mayhap you may then see
clearly to cast the mote out of thy
sister’s eye.
That women are not sufficiently fa
miliar with politics to vote intelligent
ly is also urged as a reason why they
should not be allowed to vote, and I
agree that no one, either man or wo
man, ought to vote without having ac
quainted themselves with every phase
men have a right to vote ignorantly,
why have not women? Why would
one do any more harm than the other?
As a last resort some contend that
the Bible places woman where custom
puts her. To their understanding this
settles the matter. What a narrow
minded view is this! The words of
Paul —concerning the women of two
thousand years ago—when interpreted
according to the enlightened con
science and broader needs of today
Texas Woman Near Death.
Wills Point, Tex—ln a letter from
Wills Point, Mrs. Victoria Stallings
says: “I was afflicted with womanly
troubles, had a dreadful cough and
suffered awful pains. I certainly
would have died if I had not been re
lieved by taking Cardui. Now I am
stronger and in better health than I
ever was in my life. I can’t say half
enough for this great medicine.” Do
you need relief? Try Cardui for your
womanly troubles. Its long record of
successful use is your guarantee.
Thousands of ladies have been helped
to health and happiness by Cardui. It
will surely help you, Try a bottle to

show no such inference. And a greater
than Paul fixed the status of woman at
the beginning of time. Does not C e
Mosaic account of her creation dis
tinctly symbolize her intended rela
tion to man? God created her oit of
a rib taken from man’s side to show
that her place was beside him —not
from a bone taken from his foot to in
dicate that her place was beneath him.
Thus, in beautiful symbolism, was
shown the Divine intention that wo
man should be man’s equal. Not his
superior, not his inferior, but his
equal. Nowhere did her Creator after
wards condemn her to a lower posi
tion.
Therefore, I advocate woman’s suf
frage. Not as a step necessary to
save the country; not as a measure
needed to gain some political end, but
simply as the political part of woman’s
just rights. Simply on the grounds of
justice.
While I advocate woman suffrage I
am not one of those who expect wo
men to accomplish great and wonder
ful things with the ballot. She will
probably do about as man has done
and use it about as he has, for she is
only his equal and not his superior.
And she will do no more than has
man, nor use the franchise with any
less wisdom because she is man’s
equal and not his inferior.
That woman suffrage will some day
be general there can be no reasonable
doubt, nor is the fact that many of the
women themselves are opposed to it,
any argument to the contrary. Every
innovation in human affairs has been
opposed at first by a large part of
those it was designed to favor, so firm
is the hold of custom and tradition on
the mind of humanity, but, despite this
impediment, the wheels of Progress
continue to revolve, and have ever
rolled in triumph over all opposition in
the end.
That they will do so in this also is
my belief, and since it is simply a
question of justice I expect women to
gain suffrage everywhere in a com
paratively short time.

DO YOU KNOW THAT—
Turpentine sprayed in the path of
cockroaches will destroy them?
Oil from the canned sardines may
be used in frying potato cakes?
Hot cakes or bread will cut easily
if the knife is made hot?
Bran water used to wash the kitch
en paint will keep it from having that
dull look so often caused by the use
of soap? Boil one pound of bran in
one gallon of water for about three
quarters of an hour. This will keep
the paint glossy and clean.
An old pair of curtain fixtures cut
the proper length will make a very
good towel roller?
That chalk and borax spread on
mildew and the garment placed in the
sun will take out a mildew stain?
To keep the apples which you have
cut for a salad from turning dark you
should pour a little lemon juice over
them as soon as they are cut?
White woodwork should be used
only in the room which receives
plenty of sunshine as the paint will
grow yellow in a shady room?
Vaseline stains may be removed by
soaking the garment in a little wood
alcohol, then washing in hot soap
suds?
Stamps which are stuck together
may be loosened by putting a thin
piece of paper over them and then
run a hot iron over this? The stamps
will then come apart easily and the
mucilage will be intarct and not wash
ed off as when the stamps are soaked
in water.
When you have put too much blue
ing in the rinse water you should add
three tablespoons of household am
monia to counteract the effects?
