DANGER IN UNFAIR OR TOO RADICAL A REDUCTION IN PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS There is a serious danger in any effort to greatly or rapidly reduce prices. Especially would an un even of disproportionate reduc tion in wages and the prices of farm products be likely to result seriously to general business pros perity and lead to political and so cial unrest and disturbance of a grave character. Particularly are those who are so loudly clamoring for a reduc tion of food prices to be caution ed against the results which will certainly follow a reduction of the Helps Sick Women Cardui, the woman’s tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Eversole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. Read what she writes: "1 had a general breaking-down of my health. I was in bed for weeks, unable to get up. I had such a weakness and dizziness, ... and the pains were very severe. A friend told me 1 had tried every thing else, why not Cardui ? . . . I did, and soon saw it was helping me ... After 12 bottles, 1 am strong and well.” TAKE CAR DUI The Woman’s Tonic Do you feel weak, diz zy, worn-out? Is your lack of good health caused from any of the com plaints so common to women? Then why not give Cardui a trial? It should surely do for you what it has done for so many thousands of other women who suffered —it should help you back to health. Ask some lady friend who has taken Cardui. She will tell you how it helped her. Try Cardui.

There is no sort of doubt but the prosper ity of the farmer leads to the greatest prosperity to the wage earner. If the large laboring classes of the farm must work at a starvation wage, the time will not be long until other smaller groups of laborers must also work for reduced wages. If this were brought about in no other way, the low wages of the farm would drive laborers from the farms to other industries as it has in the past, and wages would he depress ed directly by competition and in direetly by lessening farm pro duction and increasing food prices. It is true that some manufact ured products are now selling for too high a price, or the profits are too great. It is also true that some farm products and foodstuffs may he expected to decline in prices; but anything like a sudden or great decline in the prices of farm products, and especially a dispro portionate reduction in the prices of farm products, would he disas trous to business in general and and indirectly to the wage-earners of our cities and towns. We believe it can be clearly shown that $1.90 to $2 a bushel for wheat, $1.20 to $1.25 a bushel for corn and 23 cents a pound for cot ton, which are about double our average prices for our pre-war decade, are not too high. Lower prices than these do not allow a wage for the farmer proportion ate to the wages in other indus tries, and lower prices than these will not keep sufficient people on the farms and develope and main- CALLED HER FAMILY TO HER BEDSIDE Six Tears Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, Bat Now She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For Her Recovery.

It is true that for our pre-war decade we only aver aged a price of 96.6 cents a bush el for wheat, 61 cents a bushel for corn and 11.8 cents a pound for cotton; hut we know that in the South, at least, where cotton and corn are largely produced, we were only able to produce these crops at those prices because the farm laborers received starvation wages, in many eases working at from 50 cents to 75 cents a day and boarding themselves. It is no more to the interest of the city resident or laborers in other industries hat the prices of farm products descend to their former low, unfair and degrading levels than it is to the interest of the farmer. Those who wich for continued business prosperity should think seriously before they seek to depress farm prices for food production can only be main tained by fair prices to the farm er. Farm labor has learned thru the experiences of the war, and unless it can receive a proportion ate living wage, it will not remain on the farm and produce food stuff's.—The Progressive Farmer.
