The Stratford Star has a very
good reason why Champ Clark was
licked and tells It as follows:
-Champ Clark can lay the claim to
his defeat by Wilson for the demo-
cratic nomination to the fact that
his candidacy did not stand for any-
thing Mr. Clark is neither a pro-
gressive, a standpatter nor a reac-
tionary. The course he has de-
scribed In politics is that of an ec-
centric circle, which enables him to
present the phenomenon of going for-
ward half the time and backward
half the time. Throughout the cam- j
paign he has shown a desire to com- ,
promise, to be half this and half j
that, and nothing very distinctively

After the blow the famer came from

One of the horses evidently became
frightened and ran some distance, but
the other stood at the place where the
stall was for some minutes, nosing
around for the feed he had been

Couldn't Walk!
'1 used to be troubled with a weakness peculiar to
women," writes Mrs. Anna Jones, of Kenny, 111. "For
nearly a year, I could not walk, without holding my sides.
1 tried several different doctors, but I grew worse. Finally,
our druggist advised Cardui for my complaint I was so
thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am
never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever. I am in
fine health at 52 years."
Cardui Woman'sTonic
We have thousands of such letters, and more are
arriving daily. Such earnest testimony from those who
have tried it, surely proves the great value of this vegeta-
ble, tonic medicine, for women.
Cardui relieves women's sufferings, and builds weak
women up to health and strength. If you are a woman,
ffive it a trial. It should help you, for it has helped a mil-
ion others. It is made from pure, harmless, herb ingredi-
ents, which act promptly and surely on the womanly organs.
It is a good tonic. Try it I Your druggist sells it
