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.

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."

Each Mistakes Other For Burglar; Mrs. Oertel Barely Escapes Injury When Looking For Unwelcome d Intruder in Rear of Her Greene Street Home Saturday Night Meets Policeman She Had Phoned For. An Unusual Coincidence Happens. Mrs. Theodore Oertel’s friends are congratulating her on the very nar row escape from probable fatal injury Saturday night. Mrs. Oertel was aroused by the fluttering of the pig eons in the pigeon coop and being ap 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 ficer arriving promptly went to the yard, where she discovered him at the same time he discovered her, both thinking the other the deperado im mediately got busy. The officer call ed "halt” and Mrs. Oertel, apprehen sive that the officer was the thief, held up her hand as if to shoot, wnen 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 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. Thousands who have changed from coffee to Postum know “There’s a Reason” Grocers evervwhere sell Postum.
