MOTHER MIGHT
NOT BE LIVIHG
Ladv Tells of Mother’s
Troubles Which Almost Re
sulted in Death, And How
They Were Overcome.
Cumberland Gap, Tenn.—“l don’t
believe my mother would be living
today," writes Mrs, Sarah I. Owens,
of this place, "if It had not been fbr
Cardul, the woman’s tonic.
She Buffered dreadfully for years,
with womanly troubles; smothering
spells, chills, fluttering of the heart,
and weakness.
Finally, she was advised by a friend
to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She
bought a bottle, and could notice Its
good effects from the first. She has
now taken 6 bottles, and is enjoying
very good health. It has done her
more good than all the other medi
cine she ever took.
We think Cardui Is worth its weight
In gold.”
The very best endorsement any
preparation can have, is that of peo
ple who have tried It. They know
what It will do. Judging from the
thousands of letters we receive each
year, similar to the above. It Is
easily possible to believe in the good
that Cardui has done for suffering
women in Its past half century of
wonderful success.
Cardui is composed of purely vege
table Ingredients, which act in a gen
tle, natural manner, on the weakened
womanly organs, thereby building
them back to new strength and
health
You cannot go wrong trying Cardui
for your troubles.

MINUTES IN
MANHATTAN
By GOTHAM KNICKERBOCKER.
New York.—The New York City
wholesale business is a hot-bed of
small graft. I am told the women
buyers graft as steadily as the men,
but their exactions are of a petty
sort.
A woman buyer works to have the
concern of which she is a customer,
give her a dozen pair of silk hose
or a pretty hat, while the man tries
to arrange Tor a commission, which
will mean a large amount of money
per annum.
A buyer for a local department
store and three piano makers were ar
rested not long ago for a graft ar
rangement, but this instance of law
enforcement has not stemmed the
tide of graft In the least.
For instance a buyer came into the
office of an importer of rare laces and
embroideries recently. This importer
wears a valuable three-stone diamond
ring. There happened to be no sales
man about, so the importer himself
showed the buyer through. They had
not gone far when the buyer began
to make remarks about the beauty of
the three-stone ring. He asked the
ownerß to let him try it on and the
latter consented. The buyer made no
move to return it and after the order
had been signed, the importer had to
ask for his ring. The buyer gave It
back with reluctance and a testy little
speech whiich showed perfectly he
thought the ring should he his for the
placing of the order. The importer
kept his equilibrium.
The goous were shipped and short
ly afterwards returned. No more or
ders were received from the buyer s
lirm for some time, in fact, not until
this buyer had been displaced by a
a new man.
A buyer for a San Francisco house
wrote all the wholesalers here with
whom he dealed that he was going
to be married. He -ollected so many
wedding gifts he was able to fill a
freight car —and he managed to have
some one else pay the freight across
the continent.
Ike Meyers, who told Steve Brodie
how to become famous, is going out
of business. Even Ike, who has been
in the Bowery neighborhood since be
fore draft riot, says things are chang
ing.
On the little curio shop at No. 205
hangs the sign :: Retiring from busi
ness.”
I thought I would step in and ask
Ike (probably it’s the thousandth
time he has heard the question)
about the Brodie incident.
“Yee,” said the old storekeeper,
“Steve wak a good twy, but he insist
ed on advertising. He was one of the
first to believe in it. One day he
came in here and said, "Ike, how can
I became famous?”
“ ‘Jump off the bridge,’ said I, quick
as thought. The bridge was new then
and I had it on my mind because
they tore down the store at No. 59
Bowery, where I was located, to build
the approach. •
“ 'l’ll do it,’ said Steve, ‘Thanks
awfully.’
I thought he was joking, though I
knew Steve. Soon f heard lie's done
it. Steve later told me himself be
Did he? I don t know. He al
ways ,’nck to it. And he became fa<
moils.
"He enriched the English language.
‘He done a Brodie' you hear a fel
ler say quite often.’”
So that husbands and wives may
go out every night together, the new
Femininst Alliance is going to build
an apartment house in which house
hold w-ork will be unknown. This is
only one of the interesting assaults
on the present social order which the
Alliance plans.
Rich friends of the Alliance will
give the funds to build the apartment
house. It will have twelve stories.
No grasping landlord will bother.
The housewife will he free from all
household duties, even tucking in the
children when they go to tied.
There will be no kitchens in the
apartments. -Meals come up by the
dumbwaiter fto-u the basement in a
tireless cooker
The meal is "prepared in the base
ment by an expert capable of more
scientifically than nine out oT ten
cf the average housewives.”
For the children there also will be
rooms in the basement, where Monte
sorrl teachers will take charge "twen
ty-four hours a day,” with cribs for
tiie children to sleep in.
The family wash, and even the fam
ily sewing, is to be shunted to a corps
of experts in the basement, while with
these sources of household work un
der tiie present plan will go to the
basement also the dishes after din
ner and breakfast
The house-cleaning problem is tun
ed over also to a "specialist’' corps
I that appears from the basement wh.vi
| the beds need making and things need
] dusting.
"A man doesn't love a. woman any
more because she does his washing. ’
■ one of the promoters explained, “nor
I does it make a mother love her child
any better to have to wash its face
a dozen times a day."

Mrs. Oertel Barely Escapes Injury
When Looking For Unwelcome d Intruder in Rear of Her

Mrs. Theodore Oertel’s friends are
congratulating her on the very nar

Saturday night. Mrs. Oertel was
aroused by the fluttering of the pig

prehensive of thieves phoned for a
policeman. While waiting for him to
come she thought she would do
reconnoitering, and went through the
garden to the rear, where she waited
in the shelter of the hedge. The of

yard, where she discovered him at
the same time he discovered her, both
thinking the other the deperado im

the officer again halted her telling
her if she did not stop he would shoot.
If Coffee
Don’t Agree
Much of today’s nervousness, indigestion, lan
gonr, kidney and liver trouble, come from indis
cretions in eating and drinking, so commonplace
that they are considered till Nature pulls
one up with a sharp jerk.
More often than is suspected, coffee is the cause
of these troubles.
A simple, easy way to discover the real cause
and relieve one’s self of a lot of discomfort is to
quit coffee for ten days and trv
POSTUM
This beverage contains none of the coffee drugs
(caffeine, tannin, etc.) jvliich arc responsible for
many human ailments, big and little. Postum is a
food-drink made from prime wheat and a bit of
molasses. It is pure and contains only the whole
some goodness of the grain.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must he boiled. 15c and 25c
packages. -r,
Instant Postum —a soluble form. A teaspoonful
stirred in a cup of hot water dissolves quickly and
makes a most delightful beverage, with cream and
sugar added to ta-de. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the
same.
