IHE LYONS PROG RES.'*, APRIL 7, 1911.
How so be Popular.
How is a girl to he popular? Bv
what means shall she learn to feel
at home in the world? The old re
cipe is to go into the world and
learn to do as vou see others do—
I learn t• < u«e sma'! talk : learn to be
; gracious, graceful; learn the gen
eral etiquette and social usages:
learn charm, dignity, gentle bear
ing. Yes these are very good. It
you ki.ow someone who is a success
socially it is a good plan to pattern
your behavior after her She is gen
tle, she is earnest, she has a low
and soft voice, she has an inter
est and a smile for every one, she
seems nevei ruffled, never dismay
ed nothing seems to disturb her
poise. Copy her in all these things
if you can. Or 6he is resourful and
accomplished, she can sing and
play, can entertain one with a good
story, can enter into the enterest
of old and young. At the outdoor
party it is she woo can tell the
best fortunes; on the picnic, on
■ the river it is she who can play the
best accompaniments when the
rest wfish to sing. At the private
i theatricals it is she who can plan
■ and devise the best coßtumes. If
the evening growes dull can recite
a bit of sober or jolly poetry, can
start some charades or other sim
, pie entertainment,so that nothing
lags. Or she has personal charm
and dresses becomingly and ap
propiately, yet they say she spends
. very little money on her clothes.
. Her hair is beeomingly arranged,
her hands are white and well car
ed for, so you find yourself watch
ing them as she moves them about
! among the teacups. Her teeth are
■ well cared for. She is neatess it
self. She walks across the room
with grace, and when she extends
i her hand to welcome yon or to bid
you good-bye, you wish you could
be like her. —Ladies’ World.
More than 1.200 Dutch farmers
arrived in this country one day
last week on a single steamship.
They were en route to Michigan,
lowa, Illinois and Montana. Not
one, so far as the information goes
was headed south. Had they been
informed with respect the advan
tages of soil and climate offered by
the south ? The chances are that
they had been told all about the
West before they left Holland and
also that they have never heard
anything about the South —Ex.
The Bartow' county grand jury
has recommended that all roads,
cross-roads and junctions be mark
ed with signboards. The suggest
ion is an excellent one, and might
well be adopted throughout the
state. Travel over the country
roads is increasing all the time.
More and more farmers and others
are buying automobiles and horses
Whatever will add to their conven
ience and pleasure is something to
he desired.—Savannah Morning
News.
With only 20,000 of our troops

I Pale-Faced Women I
You ladies, who have pale faces, sallow complexions, ;;
jj dark circles under eyes, drawn features and tired, worn- H|
out expressions, you need a tonic.
The tonic you need is Cardui, the woman’s tonic.
It is the best tonic for women, because its ingredients
raj are specifically adapted for women’s needs. They act on
the womanly organs and help to give needed strength and
H vitality to the worn-out womanly frame.
Cardui is a vegetable medicine. It contains no min- p|
erals, no iron, no potassium, no lime, no glycerin, no dan
gerous, or habit-forming drugs of any kind.
It is perfectly harmless and safe, for young and old to use.
