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. Has Helped Thousands.

S* 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. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S OASTO R I A
