I consider Wine of Cardui superior to any doctor's medicine I erer used and X know whereof I speak. I suf fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely pros trated me. Pains would shoot through my back and sides and I would have blinding headaches. My limbs wouid swell up and I would feel so weak 1 could not stand up. I naturally feJA discouraged for I seemed to bo beyood the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardui came as a God-send to me. I felt a change for the belter within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without Buttering the agonies I usually did and aeon became rogular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful!«oad I wish that all suffering women kuew ot Its good qualities. fa *•■***. *£%** *,•*** Treasurer, Portland Economic League Periodical headaches tell of fe male weakness. Wine of Cardui cures permanently nineteen out at every twenty cases of irregular menses, bearing do«m pains or any female weakness. It you are discouraged ao4 doctors have failed, that is the best reason in the world you should try Wine of Cardui now. Remember that headaches mean female weakness.

Savannah, Ga., July (*>.— George «I. Baldwin, who was one of the purchasers of a part of tho Gttinesviillc, Jefferson and South ern railway at Gainesville yester day, says the property is to bo greatly improved. lie says wc have in -view some very important changes in the road which will likely bo put into effect as soooj as possible. One plan is to build the road out north ward toward Dahlonega, Another suggested route is from the Jef ferson branch to Athens to tho south, while a third is from the main line to the Central of Geor gia railway on the Macon and Coyington branch. Much will depend on thc co-op eration of the people along the. route of the property of the pro posed extension. If these towns shall promise good patronage there is capital in Savannah with which outside capital ns may be affiliated in the plan, to build a splendid railway into new terris lory. 'The work is to he begun at once and the road is to be made standard. Different Kinds of Kisses. Fortunately for stupid people, the weather changes often enough to supply them with something to talk about. 1 u stead a kiss says a French writer., is natural; totbuy a kiss is stupidity; for two girls to kiss is a loss of time;; not to kiss at all is an insignificance; for two men to kiss is quite ridiculous; to kiss the baud or theof the tingors is dioll; to kiss oue’s sister is proper; to kiss one s wife is an obligation; kissing a child is often a regret for not being permitted to kiss the mother; to kiss an ugly ^por- son is gallantry; to kiss an .old faded widow shows great devot-- edness, but to ikiss a young, blush ing widow is a charm; to kiss one’s waiting maid is very dangerous; to kiss one’s affianced is a premed itation ynd a right; an old, rich aunt it is hypocrisy; a young cook in tho bloom of age is delicious, dainty; to kiss a neighbor’s wife is doubtless very good, but quite wrong; kissing three girls tho same day ie an extravagance; u gill whose father is watching hat^ if may make one jump over the fence; to kiss a mother-inslaw is a sacrifice; an old maid, it is polite ness, timilly, a kus to one’s moth er is the purest, tho sweetest of all kisses.
