A Good Example
"I*am a good example," writes Mrs. R. L. Bell, of
McAlester, Okla., "of what Cardui will do for suffering
women. .. , ,
"I suffered with my head and back, for over six years,
and although I tried everything, I never could get any-
thing to do me any good, until 1 began to take Cardui.
Cardui has surely helped me and built me up and 1
am so thankful that 1 have found something that will do
me good. 1 feel so much stronger and better than 1 have
in a long time." , , , . .

You will be glad to take it when you are tired, mis-

If not sick now, at least burn Cardui on to the pages

for it without thinking. «

Mexican Hsrald Ridicules Appellslioa
•f -Christian Nations" to the Fow-
•ra of thi World.
A contemporary indulges In rash
speculations respecting the benefits to
accrue to the Ottoman empire when
It shall be partitioned among tha
"Christian nations • of Europe," re-
marks the Mexican Herald.
One falls to recognise any modern
nation which the designation fits.
Really Christian nations would not be
armed to the teeth, as it ware, and
spend half their revenues In prepara-
tion* for war. "Never slnc^Chris-
tianlty came," says a recentwrlter,
"has there been a time when the
course of nations was so marked by
violence and the power of aggression.
Opportunity and strength are recog-
nized as the sole guides for Interna-
tional behavior. The most solemn
pledges are set aside without question
and the rupture of treaties Is accept
ed almost without protest when the
power that breaks the treaty Is
strong enough In Itself or Its allies
to secure the fruits of its violence by
threats of war. 'Blessed are the peace-
makers,' we are told; but If one great
power claims that blessing for the ac-
tion of a fortnight ago, it must be
with a sardonic smile. When a msn
stops a quarrel by presenting a pistol
at the bead of the Injured party, he
may be described as a peacemaker of
a kind, but it is a peculiar kind, not
coming, we think, within tha meaning
of the blessing."
The guiding principles of modern
nations are not those of Christ, but
rather those of Nietsche. the teacher
of the right of might and the glorllier
of brute force, who counsels tha
trampling down remorselessly of the
weak. The press of the world dally
tells of the bitter hostility of ths
great nations and speculations as to
the future of aerial navigation ravolva
around the employment of airships as
agents of destruction. The most ad-
vanced nations of the world are at
this moment concentrating *evea>
tenths of their energies upon tha
means of fighting each other, In a war
which, when It comes, will shake tha
world and give the yellow rfcee Its
chance to win new ground at the ex-
pense of white civilization.

Quit Wheat in Kansas
Kay stop SOwing to Kill Chinch Bug.
Topeka, Kan., August 1. - Will
the wheat growers of Kansas
stop the planting of this cereal
for a term of years to the end
that they may get rid of the
chinch bug pest that is menac-
ing this and all other crops?
This is a question that is agi-
tating the wheat farmers all
over the state, and concerted
action is advised by many.
The movement to suspend
wheat raising for a time und
plant the fields to corn started
•t Wellington, where the wheat
farmers met at the Summer
County Farmers' institute and
discusscd the matter. Summer
county was the banner wheat
section of Kansas a few years
a^o, and its fields sent to the
eastern market the finest varie-
ties of wheat grown in the west.
Chinch bugs have destroyed
hundreds of wheat fields in Sum-
mer county this year, and the
wheat growers who discussed
the question at the recent meet-
ing at Wellington declared it
their opinion t.-.at the only way
by which they could rid their
fields of the pest would bo to
suspend sowing wheat.
Harvey Davis, son of J. W.
Davis, living three miles south
of town, lays claim to being the
smallest voter in the state of
Oklahoma. Mr. Davis is 40 inches
in height and weighs G6 pounds.
He was 21 years old in March,
and came to town witn his fath-
er Tuesday and cast his first bal-
lot straight for the Democratic
ticket and the grandfather clause
At four years old he was a hus-
ky a youngster as the ordinary
boy of his age, when one day he
accepted a dare from a playmate
to jump from the top of a small
tree which he had climbed, and
was injured in such a manner
to almost stop his growth entire-
ly.—Granite Enterprise.
Frog industry In Franea.
It is In France that the frog was
first generally used for food, and it Is
in that country that the industry of
frog farming has been most largely de-
veloped. The green frog exlets abun-
dantly throughout France wherever
there are marshes, ponds or sedgy mar-
gins of rivers or bays that contain
fresh or slightly brackish water.
The best outfit for frog raising la
one or more shallow ponds or reser-
voirs filled with grasses and other wa-
ter plants. It should be so situated
that the water can be partially drawn
off so as to facilitate the labor of
catching. If. as is often the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left for a
year or two to propagate. If food does
not prove abundant the owner throws
in live earthworms, as the frog Is a
carnivorous animal and prefers tha
food, whether worms, larvae or insects,
fresh and In normal, living condition.
If no frogs exist In the water they ara
planted either living or in the form of
eggs, which hatch when the water ba-
comes warm in April.—Popular Ma-
chanics.
