X couldn’t help laughing—they tried
to take a rise out of me by getting a
thought-reading Johnnie who was
there to tell ’em what was In my
mind. But I was too much for the
fellah: he had several shots and drew
a blank every time!
Mrs. Grainercy—She must have
been surprised when the husband
gave her suoh an expensive presnt.
Mrs. Park —Not surprised, my dear;
suspicious.
WOULD SIT DOWN
COULDN’T GET UP
And This Lady Would Do a
Little Work and Have to
qo to Bed for an Hour.
Columbia, Tenn.—Mrs Jessie Sharp,
of this town, says: "1 was a sufferer
from womanly troubles for five years,
and It got me down so. T could not do
any of my work. Would have to lie
In bed nearly all the time. When 1
would sit down, couldn't get up, with
out pulling at something to help me.
I would do a little work, and have
to go to bed for an hour.
I would have those awful trembly
spells, and a swimming In my head I
surely felt that I had rather be dead,
than be In my condition.
I finally wrote to the ladies' Ad
visory Department, of the Chattanooga
Medicine Co., and they advised me to
try Cardui, the woman's tonic, for my
troubles. 1 did and now I am sound
and well of all m.v troubles. The sec
ond bottle helped me so much, that I
didn’t have to go to bed any more.
1 certainly feel that Cardui la worth
Its weight In gold to every suffering
woman.*"
If you. lady reader, suffer from any
of the aliments so common to women,
try Cardui,
For more than 50 years. Cardui has
been used with entire satisfaction, by
hundreds of thousands of weak and
ailing women. It wiU surely help

SUICIDE DR NOT?
Interest in Case Now Centers
in Return of Mrs. Clark.
Rumor of a Quarrel.
Santa Barbara, Cal. —Interest in the
disappearance of F. Clark,
Spokane millionaire, who was last
seen Friday night when he bade his
wife good-bye at a railroad station,
now centers in the return here today
of Mrs. Clark.
The police believe Clark committed
suicide by jumping into the ocean
from the end of the pier here after he
had seen his wife start for San Fran
cisco. Nevertheless no body was
washed ashore yesterday and Walter
Shute, valet of the missing man, says
he is convinced his employer bad no
intention of committing suicide when
he left the hotel and accompanied
Mrs. Clark to the station.
According to Shute Mr. Clark dis
missed the automobile at the station,
asked for a side entrance key to the
hotel and gave instructions for the
valet to wait on him the next morn
ing. A hat said to belong to Clark
was found on the beach Saturday
about a mile from the wharf. This
seems so far to be the only clue to
substantiate the suicide theory. A
rumor that the Clarks quarreled has
been advanced as the only reason for
Clark's suicide if that wsb his fate
Chronic Indigestion Permanently
Cured.
“Six years ago,” writes S. E. Car
penter, East Aurora, N. Y., “I was in
very bad shape suffering from indi
gestion, could not eat solid food, when
a friend advised me to try Chamber
lain's Tablets. I found such relief
from one box that I continued using
them until cured, and though six
years have elapsed 1 have not fell
the slightest return of my former
trouble.” For sale by all dealers.
JOHN D. TALKS ON
LIQUOR TO BIBLE CLASS
New York—“l never have drunk a
drop of Intoxicating liquor In my life;
neither did my father nor his father
before him,” declared John I>. Rocke
feller, Jr., In a talk to his Bible
class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church yesterday. *1 am glad to note
that social drinking seems to be de
creasing,” he added, “but drinking
generally seems to be Increasing in
spite of the fact that in some states
there is prohibition. Prohibition does
not seem to prohibit.
SHIPS THAT BREAK IN TWO
fProm New York World.)
Important questions ,sre raised by
the wreck of the tank steamer Okla
homa which should not be lost sight
of In the tragedy of the life-loss and
the remarkable escape of part of the
crew. The ship was comparatively
new—built no longer ago than 1908—
with n gross tonnage of about 6,000.
But either when balanced on top of
a wave or when lifted up end and end
by two waves, St broke in two appar
ently as quickly and as cleanly as If
of hollow boxwood under a knife.
That Its bulkhead construction was
of t!he best is Indicated by the fact
that the stern half raced along for
some time under a full head ot steam
and nearly ran down the bow half,
which kept afloat until sunk by the
cannon shot of a derelict-destroyer.
If one freight ship of apparently
the best modern construction can thus
break in two under the mere stress
of wave motion, why may not others,
Including passenger vessels, be ex
posed to the same danger? As a mat
ter of fact they are, and have In many
cases succumbed to the test.
There was the Western Reserve on
the Great LaJtes, which -went .lown
with all hands from such an accident.
The British torpedo-boat catcher Co
bra broke In two at sea 6ome years
ago and all on hoard were lost. The
Santa Rosa on the Pacific coast wos
similarly broken In two at the bulk
head amidships and lost. As late as
August, 1912, the British Dacre Castle
was lost In the same way, and in July
of last year the Japanese Manchu
Maru. Undoubtedly many of the ships
which have left port and never been
heard of afterward disappeared from
the same cause.
WIVES OUTLIVE HUSBANDS
Why are there twice as many widows
as widowers in the United States?
Is It because widows are more re
luctant than widowers to re-enter the
married state, or does it indicate that
the wife will outlive the husband?
These questions were raised In a
statement dealing with national mor
tality Issued recently by the Conser
vation Department of the Equitable
Lite Assurance Society, which con
tinued: •
*'ln 1910 there were 3,176 128 widows
and hut 1,471.390 widowers In the Uni
ted States. The census shows the as
tonishing fact that there were 10.261
widows below the age of twenty and
but 1,110 widowers. >
*‘To what extent does the fact that
the average age of the husband Is a
little higher than that of the wife ac
count for this? •
”KTo*r> the age of twenty to twenty
four there were 65.364 widows and but
18,815 widowers, and the difference
continues to a marked degree through
out the older age periods
•To every 100 widowers there were
264 widows In 1890. 231 In 1900, and
215 In 1910.
•’Such statistics as are available
show that the death rate of husbands
Is higher than that of wives, and tt Is
still higher among widow .-<! male*."—■
