Was In
Misery
All Over
"I was in a dreadfully run
down condition,” says Mrs. Chas.
L. Lacroix, of Montgomery , La.
"I suffered a great deal of pain.
I was in misery all over, I
could not sit up and I could not I
lie down. I couldn’t sleep and
at times I would have dreadful
vomiting 6pells. The aches and
pains seemed to cover my whole j
body. husband
"One night my of
brought me home six bottles
Cardui and I began to take it.
I could tell that I was improv- j
ing from the first bottle, but I
kept on taking the medicine, for
I knew that I needed a tonic
that would build me up and
strengthen me where I was
weak and run-down. That is
exactly what Cardui did for me.
After I had finished the six bot
tles I felt fine. |
"I feel truly thankful for what
Cardui has done for me, for I
could not have gone on living in ]
the desperate condition I was in.”

Quite a number of high school stu
dents attended the District Meet in
Bainbridge last Friday. The Cairo
High School requested Mr. Morrison
to invite the District meet here next
year. The public no doubt knows
that the District meet is the time
when the various accredited high
schools come together to contest wit^i
each other in literary and athletic
events. On account of its immensity
and the difficulty of entertaining, the
superintendents decided to divide the
literary and athletic events, holding
the athletic events at least one week
in advance of the literary. The ath
letic events will be held in Cairo. Mr.
Morrison was elected vice-president
of the district organization.
A pupil from every grade in school
took part in the P.-T. A. program last
Thursday afternoon, displaying and
discussing the picture that was
bought by his or her room. There is
quite a beautiful collection of good
pictures in the school now and the
program on Thursday was very in
teresting and instructive.

All wild flowers fade quickly—ex

Some women mean what they don’t

Most men are rum runners. Some

Lots of people
have the idea that a

“men’s only” store.
But, listen: We have
more items here for

lady customer was
more exacting than
a man. But we
don’t find it so. We
like to wait on the

Most men do not
wake up to find
themselves famous.
Most of them dream
they are famous
and then wake up.
Have you tried
one of our aluminum
water-less cookers ?
Mrs. J. H. Barnes
says its a dandy.
Just think of cook
ing four different
foods at one time,
and each one keep
ing its natural fla
vor.
TIMES CHANGE.
And to think that
just a few years
ago being knock
kneed was a mis
fortune instead of a
dance.
