Use of Cardui Helped to Relieve Suffering. "I have taken Cardul and have found it a very helpful medicine,” says Mrs. Minnie Itoclier, of Lynn Haven, Fla. “After a course of Cardul, I felt like I had been made over. “For a while I suffered with bad pains in my hack and sides. At times, those would distress me so I would seem past going’. “We had known of Car- dul }n oia’ family for a long ; time, so I thought I would try .taking it. I soon began to improve. I grew strong and well, and was able to resume my house hold duties without the least inconvenience.” Cardui is a mild, harm less extract of valuable medicinal herbs. Try it. Gil Rill!!

Toledo, Ohio.—The four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kolinski celebrated their birthday recently. Yet they ure not quadruplets. Edward, the eldest, was nineteen; Alhin became seventeen, Clnreuce llf- teen and Stanley, Jr., thirteen. It Is easy to remember a birthday date In the family. Bat the amazing coincidence lias its drawbacks. The number ^of .candles needed for the in- ,evitable cukes increased by four every year and the cost, of 04 candles, such its graced the last party, is not to he dickered at. Then (here Is the problem of the cakes themselves. It was a simple matter back in 1000, when Edward ap peared. Even in 1912, when Edward was three and Albin oue, there wasn't much to it. Mrs. Kolinski had only two cakes to bake. Things began to happen Jn earnest two years later when Clarence was born. The cake-baking question was as suming proportions. It was becoming so large, in fact, that the Kolinski home resembled n baker’s establish ment. And then same the climax. Two years after Clarence's birth came Stanley, Jr., thus presenting the four-cake problem, which, together with Mrs. Kolinski’s other duties, somewhat complicated matters. There were four white, triple layer cakes, debeckcd with pink candles, on the dinner stable at the last party, how ever, and hereafter Mrs. Kolinski will make four cakes—one for each of the hoys—because some day they will drift apart and her baking probably will not be required. |V , PRESSING CLUB.

Leprosy Drug Now in Painless Doses Cnrville, La.—A now combination of clmulmoogra oil with benzocaine has enabled several lepers at the national leprosarium here to receive the bene fits of the curative drug with a mini mum of pain. The discomfort which accompanies the administration of clmulmoogra oil is a problem with which specialists in leprosy have struggled for years. Con sequently the success which has at tended the use of benzocnine-chnul- ntoogra oil by Dr. Frederick A. Jo hansen of the United States public healtli service on 24 lepers at the lep rosarium may mark an Important step forward In the treatment of this an- .cicnt disease. “This preparation has the advan tage of not causing pain, and of ab sorbing readily," Doctor Johansen stated, “thereby giving the patient a uniform amount of clmulmoogra oil over a definite period of time. Since the treatment was started 30 patients have been added, making a total of GO who are taking the injections semi- weekly as routine treatment. “in reporting these cases,” added the surgeon, “no claim is made that the injection of chaulmoogra oil with benzocaine will cure leprosy. It is foM that 1 he method suggested is worthy of further ttse and such trial as may seem appropriate.*’ Rattlesnake Hunters Develop New Trade San Angelo, Texas.—Dame Fashion lias interfered with a pastime of workers in the oil Gelds of west Texas. Men who work about the derricks once delighted In tossing sticks of dynamite or small cans of nitro glycerin into dens of rattlesnakes. But fashion decreed snakeskin shoes and gave the reptiles a commercial value. So tho workmen, who have been none too prosperous because of the slump in the oil industry, now drag snakes from the dens with hooked polos and collect tlie skins, which are dried in the sun mid shipped to shoe manufacturing centers, where they bring prices which nicely augment the wages of the laborers. Several hundred rattlesnakes have been found in a single den.
