50 Per Cent Better “I have used less than one bottle of Cardui,” writes Mrs. Gertrude Ward, of Rushville, Neb., “and am feeling fifty per cent better than when I began taking it. “Before taking Cardui, I had suffered with female trouble, for eight years. My greatest trouble was irregu larity. I also suffered with severe pains, every month, but now I am greatly improved and will recommend Car dui to all my suffering friends.” Ms CARDUI J 48 The Woman’s Tonic The rare medicinal herbs of Cardui are imported by the manufacturers direct from Europe and are not to be found in any other medicine. These ingredients are what give Cardui its superiority, as a female medicine and tonic, over any other medicine. For over 50 years Cardui has been the favorite wom an’s medicine. The ladies like it, because it is so easy to take, so gentle, so safe, so reliable in its results, and they have faith in its curative tonic powers, because of the thousands of other ladies it has helped.

The thief who stole $173,000 from the Chicago aubtreasury February 18, 1907, is now immune from criminal prosecution, the statute of limita tions having expired. The only re course of the government now is to positively locate the thief and in stitute civil action to recover the money. Secret service men continue to run down every clew. The case, which long ago came to be known as the “Chicago subtreasury case,’’ is one of the most baffling with which the United States government has had to contend. "The sloppiness of women is re sponsible for most of the divorce cases,’’ said the Rev. Joachim, during a lecture in Pittsburg, Pa., Catholic church. Before marriage many of them are neat and tidy at all times, but after the wedding ceremony they are careful about their looks only on the streets. Many homes are wreck ed because of the nagging and fault finding by both man and wife and a disposition on the part of both not to bear with each other’s failings.’’ The toy pistol, the torpedo crack er and other "instruments of car nage’’ will be in little demand next Fourth of July, if the intentions of the promoters of a safe and sane cel ebration of Independence day are carried out. Plans tor this year's cel ebration in Chicago were announced by the Chicago Sane Fourth associa tion. The plans are for a house fes tival to be participated in by persons of all nations who have made this their home. The American Geographical society at a meeting in New York presented a gold medal to Colonel Charles Chaille-Long for his work in ascer taining the source of the Nile thirty six years ago. Exactly what he did was to connect the discoveries made by two British explorers, Washington. The officers comprising tlie joint army and navy board have gone to Panama to determine the site tor ca nal fortifications. The party will probably return to Washington about April 1. Counterfeit $lO notes of the series of 1901 again have made their ap pearance. Three have been passed here and Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, says the hill is the same counterfeit which has bobbed up in different sections of the country dur ing the last five years. The bills all bear the same number, 2,413,601 B. Imports of the principal articles of merchandise into the United States during the seven months of the new tariff bill ending with January, 1910, aggregated in value, $891,600,000, as compared with $697,500,000 for the corresponding period of the previous year, an increase of $193,800,000, ac cording to official reports of the bu reau of statistics of the department of commerce arid labor. "A hen is a bird,” but its eggs are dutiable at 5 cents per dozen as the product not of a bird, but of a hen. This is the decision of the United States treasury department. The con tention was laid before the depart ment that hens’ eggs should be ad mitted as birds’ eggs, which are duty free. The department ruled that they could claim the sprightly title of "bird,” but that under a clause or the Payne tariff law specifically levy, ing a duty on hens’ eggs it will con tinue to cost nearly half a cent a piece to import the product of this particular kind of bird. The senate committee on military affairs has favorably reported Sena tor Bankhead’s bill continuing in force until December 31 the act pro viding for the marking of the graves of the Confederatee who 'died in northern prisons. The work has been in progress for three years and Commissioner Oates, who has charge of it, believes it can be finished by the end of the year. Members of the senate are wondering whether Sen ator Hyburn of Idaho, who was so effectually squelched on the Bank head bill authorizing the loan of tents to the Confederate reunion, will oppose this measure. Should he do so it is expected that he will again be found voting alone. Counterfeit 25-cent pieces, so skill fully made as to defy detection by anyone not an expert, are being cir culated in Washington. Despite tne efforts of a picked band of secret service men, headed by Chief Wilkie in person, the circulation of the mon ey continues. Not a trace has been found of the gang. According to those who have handled the counterfeit money the coins well nigh defy de tetcion. They have the ring of mint ed money. Hence the work of the secret service in locating the gang is exceedingly difficult. It is believ ed that the gang is doing business in other cities so it would be well to be on the lookout for new quar ters. Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Norton has recommended to con gress the dicontinuance of the prac tice of the government of payiDg for the transportation of the fractional silver and minor coins distributed throughout the country. He says that if this practice is stopped on June 30 next it will save the govern ment $lOO,OOO for shipment expense, besides reducing clerical work in the subtreasuries. Senator Bankhead offered an amendment intended to be proposed to the postoffice appropriation bill, dividing rural delivery carriers into ten classes running from those who have twenty-four-mile routes to re ceive $990 per annum to those who have six miles at $435 per annum.

Chicago, lll. —Federal inquiry into methods of disposing of oleomarga rine was ordered by Judge K. M. Landis of the United States district court, after he had sentenced one of four dealers, who had been indicted for violating the oleomargarine reg ulations, to six years in the federal prison and fined $15,000. FARMERS’OPPORTUNITY Southern Planters Should Take Advantage of High Food Prices. SOM AMAZING FIGURES Macon Telegraph Shows How It Would be Ad vantageous To Plant Less Cotton and More Grain. Macon, Ga —The stock of money in this country today is approximately $3,130,000,000. Ten years ago it was $2,340,000,000. This is a gain of $790,000,000, or approximately 30 per per cent. Authoritive statistics show that the 1909 wheat crop was 8.3 busheles per capita, against 8.63 bushels per capi ta ten years ago; the corn crop dropped from 34.9 to 30.9 bushels per capita; the oatß crop from 12.4 to 11.1 bushels per capita; the hay crop from 1 ton to 3-4 of a ton per capita; and the number of food animals, sw'ine, cattle and sheep, fell from 2.5 to 1.9 per capita. In the matter of meats the govern ment returns issued on the 25th of January show, under the head of swine (hogs) that the total supplies in 1900, of 54,000,000 fell to 47,000,- 000 in 1910, a decrease of nearly 15 per cent. Other cattle, in 1909, 49,- 000,000, fell to 47,000,000 in 1910. The number of cattle killed under the inspection law in the United States in 1907 was 7,621,717, in 1909 it had fallen to 7,325,337; during the same period there was an increase in the number of calves killed from 1,763,574 to 2,046,713. The receipts of hogs at the markets fell 13.8 per cent from 1908 to 1909, In the matter of the production of fruits, the leader and standard (be cause it keeps longer) apples, in the United States, have fallen from 68,- 000,000 barrels in 1860 to 21,0C0,0i»o barrels in 1909! Here is money, per dollar, decreas ing in its purchasing power because of a 30 per cent Increase in volume. Here is an increasing deficit in the field food crops per capita. Here is a marked decrease in hogs and cat tle supply. Here is a decrease in the leader among all the fruits (ap ples) of approximately 70 per cent On the top of all this is an aver age tariff of 60 per cent on all for eign foodstuffs. As result of all these things—the increased supply of money, the de creased supply of all food stuffs, and the tariff—the prices of beef, pork and its by-products, mutton, chickens, eggs, butter and milk, and all oilier food products—taken on an average —have never been as high as now, barring of course the war prices of the ’6o’s. Is not this the southern farmer’s golden opportunity? The Telegraph has shown in previ ous articles that in 1860, when the population in Georgia was 1,057,286, there were in this state 2,036,116 hogs. In 1907, with a population of 2,700,000 there were only 1,590,000 hogs. With the population more than doubled, the number of hogs has been reduced nearly one-half! The Telegraph has shown that, in 1860, there were 299,G88 milch cows. In 1907 —308/'00 —an increase only of 8,312. That in 1860, there were oxen and other cattle, 706,194. In 1907, 680,000—decrease of 26,194! That in 1860, there were 512,618 sheep. In 1907, 269,000 —a decrease of 243,618! These figures are surprising, and yet they are based on actual statis tical returns. The Telegraph has shown that in 1890, when Georgia's population was 1,837,353, Georgia’s farmers owned 1,627,008 swine. In 1907, when the population had increased to 2,700,000, the swine owned by Georgia farmers decreased to 1,599,000 —a loss of 28,- 008. That in 1890, the sheep owned by Georgia farmers numbered 411,876. In 1907 they had decreased to 269,000 —a loss approximately of one-half! That in 1890, Georgia owned 354,618 milch cows. In 1907 the number fell to 308,000 —a loss of 46,618. All of these figures are amazing— but they are collected from the most reliable sources. They call to the farmer with irresistible eloquence and force. They cry aloud to them to plant less cotton and more grain; to raise more cattle and hogs—not as a patriotic thing, but as a profit-mak ing business. It is the farmer’s op portunity. His day has come if he is wise enough to read the signs of the times and take advantage of it. Food is the first and the last of the natural man. All men must eat. Everything else is secondary. We can go naked and live in the woods as the heathens do, but we must eat. It takes a pound of cotton to buy a pound of meat. A pound of meat can be raised more cheaply than a pound of cotton. A farmer can eat his meat but he cannot eat his cot ton. The money supply has grewn fas ter than the food supply. The farm production for the last four years have been low in comparison with the increase in other forms of value. Manufacturing enterprises, manufac tured materials, stock and bond cor porations have more than tripled in the last ten years. The farmers havd|| not kept pace.—Macon Tele graph. Georgia News in Paragraghs. The number of mules sold in the southern part of the state this win ter exceeds by several hundred the number sold in any former season, and the prices paid are the highest on record.
