Raleigh, N. C.. Dec. 7—The system that
enables a blind boy to play with edge I
tools without the slightest danger of his
doing himself harm Is known by the
name of "Sloyd," a word that hod Its
birth In Sweden, where so many useful
systems of the kindergarten variety orig
inate. The word nan be Interpreted In
many w-ys. but broadly It means 'To be
skillful.'* Before explaining how the sys
tem Is applied to tho blind boys of the
institute at Raleigh, N. C.. In w.tl.’h l

has done.

The system Is explained almoat in a

idon. When some simple obji i has bc'n

ac.-ompllshed somethin* with hands that
he thought mus' always be Idle. He
turns the piece of work over and over,

part and detecting even where the wood
is dirty. Then he asks how he can mk*

awakened Use tcachsr takes hlta ui bam)

it too wildly at first and then gindea the

be every move of the hand gives ths
t'oy new confldenco and a I,ls fresh Inter

to any suffering woman. I would not do without It. Mrs. SUDIE FINCH.
Few women realize that it u potitble to escape the torturing tteknets they endure. They seem
to think the grinding agomei ol (ailing ol the womb, leucorrhcta and disordered menstruation are a
part of Nature's demand on them. They go on Ailfermg when Wine o( Cardui. the one thing Nature
has provided to make them happy and healthy. Is so easily obtainable. Nine-tenths of the average
woman's suffering is caused bv disordered menstruation, which quickly yields to the
Y/INE CARDUI
treatment. Disordered menstruation results in leucorrhcra. (ailing of the womb, and the other painful
maladies which cause those terrible dragging and bearing down pains. A woman who takes Wme of
Cardui secures freedom Irom those troubles. The menstrual disorders which burden the lives ol other
women do not bother her. Is this not an easy way to secure relief ? Ask your druggist for a >I.OO
