NEARLY DEAD
MOTHER SAVES
Timely Advice of Mother Relieves
Terrible Suffering of Daughter,
and Possibly Prevents an
Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—In the following advices
from this place, Mrs. Laura Bratcher
says: was not able to do anything
for nearly six months, and was dowr
In bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered
with my head, and with nervousness
«nd womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband
l>e could not do me any good, and he
had to give It up. We tried another
doctor, but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to
take Cardui, the woman's tonic. I
thought it was no use, for I was nearly
dead and nothing seemed to do ma
any good, but I used eleven bottles,
and was then able to do all of my
work and my own washing.
1 think Cardui Is the best medicine
In the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health.
I will always praise Cardui for what
It haB done for me."
Remember that Cardui is a mild,
safe remedy, composed of valuable
medicinal ingredients, which help to
build up vitality, tone up the nerves,
and strengthen the entire womaLly
constitution.
In the past half century Cardui has
relieved more than a million woi/ien.
Why shouldn't it do the same for you?
Try it. It may be Just what you need.

MILESTONES ON LIFE'S PATH
Octogsnarian Says There Are Threo,
and One Is Mark of Joy, but the
Other Twol
An octogenarian sighed and said:
"There are three milestones in a
man's life. The first, a very joyous
milestone, Is when he ceases to be
called a boy, and for the first time
hears himself called 'a young man.'
Ah, how happy that makes him! A
young man.
"The second milestone Is a mile-
stone of gentle melancholy. It is
when he ceases to be called a young
man and for the first time hears him-
self called 'a man.' A man—not a
young man any longer. That causes
him to take thought What has he
achieved thus far? Is his life going
to be a success or a failure? A man,
not a young man now, eh? How fast
the years have flown! So he muses
ruefully.
"The third milestone is a tragedy.
It is when he is first called 'au old
man.' Ah, how that stabs him. 'An
old man.' He will never forget the
| innocent person—the child, the youth,
or perhaps the girl—who first applied
that phrase to him. He will never
forget the scene of its application, a
1 happy scene, perhaps, which suddenly
I turns funereal, dreadful. 'An old
] man'—he who first hears those words
applied to himself quivers, for all his
| wrinkles and gray beard, for all his
i fat stomach and bald head, with an
1 anguish more poignant than youth has
ever felt. An old man—how it cuts
and tears. How it saps the strength!
What a heavy, limp, hopeless feeling
I of desolation it leaves behind It.
I "I am 80. I have heard myself call-
I ed an old man for a good many years
; now. But it always tortures me. It
j is the literal truth that, even at this
late day, I'd rather get a blow in the
face than be called old. . It would
hurt leBS."

DEVELOPMENT
Mandy—This writer says that col-
lege life decreases the desire of girls
to marry.
Hiram—It may be that it decreases
the desire of the young fellows to
marry 'em.
HAIR CAME OUT BY HANDFUL
58 Lewis St., Nashville, Tenn.—
"About three years ago I had the ma-
laria fever, and when I recovered my
hair was falling out so that the doc-
tor told me to cut it off. My hair came
out by the handful, and I had dandruff
so that I had scratch it out every
week, and my scalp Itched so that I
pulled my hair all down trying to
scratch it. I tried and and
but they failed to do any good.
At last I tried Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment.
"First I combed my hair out, made
a parting on the side and rubbed my
scalp with the Cuticura Ointment. The
■av'xt morning I washed with the Cuti-
?Kra Soap and water, and continued
Until the third application gave a com-
plete cure." (Signed) Miss Nellie
M. Currin, Dec. 6, 1911.

NEW NOVEL BY MRS. CURTIS
The Lapse of Enoch Wentworth" Is
a Romantic Story Built on in-
genious Incident.
Some time ago Francis Curtis wrote
what he designed to be a short story
about two men who played a hand at
poker, the winner to become absolute
possessor of the loser's future. He
showed It to his wife, Isabel Gordon
Curtis, author of "The Woman From
Wolverton." "It is not a short story,"
sho objected. "It Is merely an inci-
dent which must shape the careers of
two men." "If you can visualize a fu-
ture for them," he replied, "do it." So
much Mrs. Curtis tells in the dedica-
tion of "The Lapse of Enoch Went-
worth," the novel she has built upon
her husband's sketch. It is an in-
genious and romantic story, the scenes
of which are laid in New York.
Not at All Inspiring.
Friend—"How did your sermon go
off? Was the congregation inspiring?"
Hector—"No, she snored."
Gossips repeat everything they hear
—and a lot they don't.
All for Fun.
There seems to be a frivolous strain
taking hold of civilization, ruling out
sobriety, earnestness, sincerity and
making the times one Universal grin.
If It keeps on this way for fifty years,
there won't be a serious thought left.
Everybody will be telling a funny
story or getting off an anecdote. The
joke Will everywhere prevail in con-
j versation. The mention of a scientific
j fact, a historic incident, a bit of phil-
j osophy, etc., will be ruled out of soci-
ety. if a man wants to talk literature,
| science, invention, philosophy, he will
j have to decoy some doleful soul into
a back room and talk in the most con-
fidential tone.
At least that is the way everything
seems to be tending. Society shim-
mers and sparkles along on the sur-
face, and will not allow a serious
thought to throw a shadow on it. Sit
down to dinner, it's a laugh from soup
to coffee. A committee meeting has
more fun than it does business. Hi-
larity is running things everywhere,
and if he only holds on a while, he
will be the chief ruler of all mankind.
And the upshot of it will be that a man
will be so lonesome when he is by
himself that he will commit suicide,
and of course there will be many, for
it will be the dreariest of exlslstence
not to be telling or listening to a
funny story.—Ohio State Journal.
ITS PERMANENCY VERY LITTLE
QUESTIONED.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
of time the bubble was pricked and
they burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country,
as in Western Canada. There may
sometimes be found one who will say
"Can it last?" Winnipeg, today, stands
where Chicago stands as far as be-
ing the base of the great commercial
and agricultural country lying a
thousand miles back of it. It has an
Idvantage that Chicago did not have,
for no country In the world's history
has attracted to Its borders a larger
number of settlers In so short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth In a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in Western Canada today.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, and Alberta have the
largest area of desirable lands on the
North American Continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop less than eight per
cent, of the land Is under the plough,
four per cent, being In wheat. Less
than five years ago the wheat crop
was only seventy-one million bushels.
It is a simple calculation to estimate
that if four per cent, of the available
cultivable area produces something
over two hundred million bushels,
what will forty-four per cent, produce?
And then look at the Immigration that
Is coming Into the country. In 1901
It was 49,149; 17,000 being from the
United States. In 1906 it was 189,064, [
of which 57,000 were Americans, and
In 1912 it was about 400,000, of which i
about 200,000 are Americans. In the |
three years prior to 1912. there were
358,859 persons who declared them-
selves for Canada, who brought Into
Canada In cash, bank drafts, stock,
Implements and effects over $350,000,-
#00. Why have they gone to Canada?
The American farmer is a man of
shrewd business instincts, and when
he finds that he can sell his own farm
at from $100 to $200 per acre and move
into Canada and homestead 160 acres j
for himself, and similarly for all his
sons who are adult and of age, upon
lands as rich and fertile as those he
had left, and producing, indeed, sev-
eral bushels to the acre in excess of
anything he has ever known, It will
take more than an ordinary effort to
prevent him from making the change.
He can also purchase good lands at
from $12 to $25 per acre.
And, then, too. there Is the Ameri-
can capital following the capital of
brawn, muscle and sinew, following it
bo as to keep in touch with the indus-
trious farmer with which he has had
dealings for years back. This capital
and the capital of farming experience
Is no small matter in the building up
of a country.
Will Western Canada's development
continue? Why not? The total area
of land reported as available for cul-
tivation Is estimated as 218,000,000
acres; only fifteen per cent, of this is
under cultivation. Nothing is said of
the great mineral and forest wealth,
of which but little has yet been
touched.—Advertisement.

Had to Argue or Pay a Debt.
"Temple Stanyon," says Doctor
Birch, "on some exigency borrowed a
sum of money of Ur. Addison, with
whom he lived on terms of intimacy
and friendship, conversing on all sub-
jects with equal freedom. But from
this time he agreed implicitly to ev-
erything Addison advanced, and nev-
er, as formerly, disputed his positions
This change of behavior did not long
escape the notice of so acute an ob-
server, to whom it was by no means
agreeable. It happened one day that
a subject was started, on which they
had before controverted; but now Mr.
Stanyon entirely acsquiesced in Mr.
Addison's opinion, without offering
one word in defense of his own. Ad-
dison was displeased, and vented his
displeasure by saying with some emo-
tion, 'Sir, either contradict me or pay
me my money.'"
Unconventlonalities.
"Squlnchley, some of your friends
■ay you're not as btg a fool as yoa
look, but you are."
"If you'll glance at the dollar watch
of yours, Mr. Llngerlong, you will find
It about time to say good night."
"You have dropped in on me, old
top, I suppose, because you've been
kicked out of all other places."
"Yes, I saw what the papers said
about you this morning, lllngo. They
called you a sport, a dead beat, and
a walking confidence game. Worse
than that—they proved It on you."
Bright Work.
"I have here a aandy article that
sells for 10 cents," began the caller.
"Don't want It," snapped the womaa.
"I didn't think you would buy It,"
said the caller as he turned to go.
"The lady across the street told me
your husband never gave you any
money."
"She did, eh?" exploded the woman.
"Give me five of those things you are
selling. My husband gives me more
money In a day than that old cat gets
in a month."—Exchange.
You Can't Tell.
Interested Lady—Oh, dear, look!
That's Mr. Rhymer, the celebrated
poet. See how his finger touches his
lip, and how his lofty brow is knit in
thought. Oh, 1 wonder what sweet
morsel of verse he Is meditating?
Mr. Rhymer (to himself)—I have to
order sugar from the grocer's, beef
at the butcher's, pay for last week's
bread and bring some soothing syrup
for the baby. I wish to goodness Mary
would attend to all these things her-
self!

"I wish you'd get rid of that abso-

"Absolutely worthless?"
"That's what I said! Absolutely—
absolutely worthless! What does it

"1 was thinking of what It doesn't

"Oh h, what It doesn't do"
"Yes. It doesn't chew tobacco,
smoke a pipe, fight booze or use pro-
fane language."

Straighten That Lame Back!
Backache is one of Nature's warnings of kidney weakness. Kidney disease
kills thousands every year. Safety is only certain if the early warnings are heeded
while help is possible. Doan's Kidney Pills have helped many thousands to get
rid of backache, strengthen weak kidneys and regulate bladder and urinary disorders.
Don't neglect a bad back. If your back is
lame in the morning, if it hurts to stoop or lift,
if the dull aching keeps up all day, making work
a burden and rest impossible—suspect the kid-
neys. If the urine is off color and shows a sedi-
ment; if passages are irregula.% to£> frequent,
too scanty, or scalding, this is further proof.
There may be dizzy spells, headaches,
nervousness, dropsy swellings, rheumatic
attacks, and a general tired-out, run-down
condition.
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that is
publicly recommended by 100,000 persons in
many different lands. Doan's act quickly, con-
tain no harmful norhabit-forming drugs and are
wholly harmless, though remarkably effective.
Cured After Doctors Gave Up Hope
H. R. Hatch, 2516 Cedar St., Everett, Wash., gays:
"I doubt if any one ever suffered more than I did with
kidney complaint. My back was so bad 1 could hardly
walk. The least jar or mis-step, caused twinges that
fairly made me groan. I dreaded to stoop, for 1 knew
what I had to suffer when I had to straighten up
again. There was generally a frequent desire to
urinate, but at other times the secretions were re-
tarded, dark in color, almost like blood and pained
terrible in passing. The doctors said 1 had but a
short time to live. As n last resort I began to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and rapidly grew better, and at
last was completely cured. 1 have remained in good
health ever since."
When your back hurtt, when your kidneys trouble you, when
you feci tired, worn-out or depressed, don't simply ask fOT °
kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,
the same that cured Mr. Hatch, and make sure the name
DOAN'S is on the box.

Solvent
A certain man found himself In the
possession of $11,000,000. But he did
not lose his head. On the contrary.
"I will pay only so much for a car,"
he firmly declared, "as will leave of
the $11,000,000 a sum sufficient, If
prudently Invested In the funds, to de-
fray the cost of having the thing
around."
And though in that resolution he
paid so little for a car that hiB wife
would scarcely speak to him, his
sense of financial solvency was his
ample reward.—Puck.

Taking a Lesser Chance.

would you do?"
Came the answer, swift and true:
"I would jump overboard."
