loan organization.
Workers in the approaching Victory
Loan campaign who render efficient
service in obtaining subscriptions to
the “finish the Job loah,” will be the
proud possessors of genuine Hun heV
mets, taken from captured German
prisoners or found on the battlefields
of France after their former owners
had no further use for headgear, it is
announced by the headquarters of the
Sixth Federal Reserve District at At
lanta.
Three thousand five hundred of these
helmets, averaging eight to a county,
will arrive at the headquarters soon,
and will be distributed. The exact basis
upon which they will be awarded has
not yet been determined, but it will as
sure the real workers of a chance at
the souvenirs. Hun helmets will dec
orate many a home in the South soon.
In some instances they probably will
be converted into cuspidors.
Preparations for the Victory Loan
are going on rapidly, and the opening
day, April 21, probably will find a big
proportion of the state and county
quotas ready for immediate subscrip
tions. This will be especially so in
counties where the individual quota
system is being used. By this plan ev
ery resident of the county will be no
tified, before the opening day, of what
he is expected to subscribe. It is ex
ICE CREAM
Sipec remote antiquity, man has found pleasure in the eating of frozen sub
stances. The Bible speaks of the people of Palestine appreciating the refrshing
qualities of snow in harvest time. The ancient Jews, Greeks anil Romans were
accustomed to its use for the cooling of beverages.
Alexander the Great relished a substance much like our sherbets today,
frozen with snow brought from a mountain top by a swift running slave.
But about the first real ice cream ever made was placed before Louis XIV,
King of France, by his chef, who used cream in the ice of his invention, and
thereby made ice cream.
In our own country ice cream became popular before the Revolution. The
manufacturer of this dainty obtained a high price in those days as the recipe
was kept a close secret. The first advertisement of ice cream in this country
appeared in a New York paper dated June 8, 1786, and reads: “Ladies and
Gentlemen may be supplied with ice cream every' day at the City Tavern by
their humble servant Joseph Crowe.” The article furnished by the humble
Joseph was surely a luxury as it cost a dollar a quart.
Ice Cream is not only one of the most delicious of sweets, enjoyed by old
and young, but it is also a very nutritious food. It has several times the food
value of candies; a quart is worth nearly as much as three pounds of beef
steak. Because it is so nutritious and so easily digested physicians recommend
it to invalids and convalescent patients; athletes in training eat it; and, if
home made so that you know' it is pure and free from harmful adulterations, it
is the best of food for growing girls and boys.
I manufacture Ice Cream of all kinds, for any occasion—on just a few
hours’ notice. Mail orders given prompt attention.

CALLED HER FAMILY
TO HER BEDSIDE
Six Tears Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, Bat Now
She b a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardni For
Her Recovery.
Royse City, Tex.—Mra. Mary Kil
m&n, of this place, says; "After the
birth of my little girl,..my Bide com
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. TVe called the doctor. He
treated me...but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable.. .1 was In bed for
three months and Buffered such agony
that I was Just drawn up In a knot...
I told my husband If he would get
me a bottle of Cardui I would try 1t...
1 commenced taking It, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unless I had a changs for
pected to have every citizen carry his
own share of the quota, instead of let
ting his more patriotic neighbors car
ry more than their share. Local com
mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most Instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences they expressed confidence
in being able to put the Job through,
and their enthusiasm is certain to car
ry them to success.
Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment of the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing to lend to their
country for the purpose of finishing
the Job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on, and the necessity of
bringing the boys back home; of giv
ing the wounded men that education
and instruction which will enable them
to get a fresh start. The Government
has still a big task before it, and the
expenditures are still large. But they
are far smaller in money—to say noth
ing of more precious lives —than If the
war had continued. So the term,
“Thanksgiving Loan,” may well be ap
plied to this, the last of the govern
ment’s Invitations to its people to lend
their money to their nation.
the better. That was six years ago
and I am still here and am a well,
strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardui. I bad only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery In my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better In my life... I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this."
Do you suffer from headache, back
ache, pains In sides, or other discom
forts, each month? Or do you feel
weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,
give Cardui, the woman’s tonic, a
trial. J. 71

Strange Street Names.
What is the quaintest street name
you know of in London, past or pres
enr? It would probably bo hard, re
lates the London Chronicle, to beat
Shalligonnked street, which, according
to the late Sir Laurence Gomme’s evi
dence before the local records com
mittee, appears as the name of a street
in Wapping in a sewers rate book for
1748. In those days the naming of a
street was not in the hands of a sedate
public authority, hence the oddity ot
some of Wiese eld names.

You can rely on Cardui.
Surely it will do for you

writes Mrs. Mary E.Veste,
of Madison Heights, Va.
"I got down so weak,
could hardly walk . . .
Just staggered around.
... I read of Cardui,
and after taking one bot
tle, or before taking quite
all, I felt much better. I
took 3 or 4 bottles at
that time, and was able to
do my work. I take it in
the spring when run
down. I had no appetite,
and 1 commenced eating.
It is the best tonic I ever
saw.” Try Cardui.
