You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take--Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.” *
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.

Agricultural Short Course
And the 801 l Weevil
This year, as never before, the Geor
gia farmer should consider taking a
short course in agriculture at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
In no other way can a farmer get so
much of what he needs in changing his
farm practices. The College is a
storehouse of information and the Col
lege farm a convincing example of
what the information really is. The
short courses at the College this year
will begin January 3, 1917, and last
ten days. Complete announcement
will be made in a bulletin, which can
be obtained by writing to the College
of Agriculture at Athens.

AMERICAN VINE IN-EUROPE
Even Venice Has Added to Its Beauty
by Adoption of the Vir
ginia Creeper.
Down to Cuba, up to Newfoundland
and as far west as the Mississippi
river and the Virginia creeper has
crept until it covers all the territory
in between. It didn’t creep to Europe,
because it couldn’t, but it was taken
there by a man, and there it Is held in
high honor. It is widely cultivated,
and even Venice has reared stately
trellises to guide the creeper over its
architectural treasures, the Philadel
phia North American says.
Maybe you know the Virginia creep
er when you see it. If you are not
sure, go slowly, for you might pick on
the poison ivy by mistake, though you
need only remember that the creeper
has five leaves in a group, while the
poison ivy has only three.
The creeper dings to vertical sur
faces with tiny tendrils, which form
disks like little suckers. Darwin took* I
a day off one time and found out that
one of these little disks will support a
weight of two pounds.
