SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of rJotber no Doubt Pre-
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—“ I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, ‘‘and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot teil you how I suffered with
my nead, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did nut help me.
At last, my mother advised me to fake
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
i took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture'of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past bl) years.
At all druggists.

FULTDN COUNTY HIS
BIG GDWIGT PROFIT
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan .6 —Fulton coun
ty has made a profit of nearly $15,000
ret, out of its convicts during the past
year, according to a report just suo
mitted to the commissioners, and
which contains many facts and sugges
tions applicable to other parts of the
state.
The money was made partly out of
the convict farms and gardens which
they tended, and $5,000 of it was from
hogs raised at the convict camps.
Not only does the year stand out
conspicuously for the amount of road
v.ork done, but the remarkable profits
< ome from the fact that the weaker
convicts who could not be worked to
advantage on the roads have been
been kept busy on the farms and in
tiuck gardens. Th? warden says that
in bis opinion there is no better meth
od of caring for the weak and the “de
ficients” among convicts than by the
extension of this farm and gardening;
work.
