ing Thereby.
Miami, Okla.—“Ono of my neigh-
bors," says Mrs. Hannah M. Turley, of
this town, “came to my house lust
week, and said: ‘Mrs. Turleyi what
did you take to help you so quickly?*
I tcld her it was just Cardui. the
woman's tonic, and she said: ‘I wish
I looked as well as you do.’ I told her
If she would only get $5.00 worth of
Cardui, and take it, she would. So
she sent her husband to town to get
the Cardui, and commenced taking it.
She looked so pale and sick all the
time, but is beginning to look better
already.
As to how it helped me—I suffered
for about 5 years, with womanly trou-
bles, and became so weak and ner-
vous, and would suffer such pain
every month, that I thought, at times,
I would die. Was in such condition
that 1 couldn’t do my work half of
the time, and would have awful smoth-
ering spells.
My husband bought me a full treat-
ment of Cardui (6 bottles) and I can
truthfully say that after I took the
last bottle I was well. Am enjoying
the best of health now, and am bo
thankful to Cardui.”
Take Cardui for your trouble. Ton
will never regret it Begin today. Ask

William J. Burns, the eminent deteo-
tive, had just captured a forger who,
formerly cleanshaven, now had his
countenance disguised under a huge
growth of brown dundrearies.
“Ha, ha,’’ laughed Mr. Burns, “his
disguise didn’t go with me. It isn’t
always true, you see, that the best
way to get out of a scrape Is to raise
a beard.”
Issuing a Form.
"Say.’’ exclaimed the excited young
man with the discolored optics, “I
want you to strike me ofT a few thou-
sand cards.”
“All right, sir,” responded the print-
er. “What shall I put on them?”
"Just print 'None of your business’
In big type. Then when the next per-
son asks me how I got this black eye,
I can juit a card* and save
words.”

After Changing from Coffee to Poetum.
FHE NEW SCHOOL BOOK ADOPTIONS

NEXT SCHOOL TFAO
Many a talented person Is kept back
because of the Interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, eMy way to get
rid of coffee troubles and a Tenn.
lady's experience along these lines is
worth considering. She says:
‘ Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee It hurt my stomach. By
the time 1 was fifteen I was almost
a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
“There was scarcely anything 1
could eat that would agree with me.
The little I did eat seemed to give
me more trouble than it was worth. I
was literally starving; was so weak I
could not sit up long at a time.
“It was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of It
and after an hour I felt as though I
had had something to eat — felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post-
um in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, today I can eat and
digest anything I want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
“I believe the first thing that did
me any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use It alto-
gether now instead of coffee.”
Name given by the Postum Co^
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes In two forms:
Regular Postum — must be well
boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—is a soluble pow-
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds Is
about the same.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.

The state board of education, sit-
ing as a textbook commission has
lompleted the adoption of textbooks
or use in the public schools so far
is actual adoption of the books is con-
lerned.
The board will meet again within
.he next week or so, when the course
>f study based on the adoptions will
>e outlined. Successful publishing
louses are required under the law
o have their contract with the state
iigned and completed within thirty
lays from the date of adoption of
heir books.
Until the new course of study has
>een mapped out no accurate compar-
son can be made between the new
idoption and the old adoption. In
making the new adoption, members of
:he board stated, the attempted
adoption in 1912 was not recognized
in any way. The 1908 adoption was
the only one that received official
recognition.
It was estimated by Dr. F. B. Fite
of Muskogee, member of the board,
that the present adbption would
change more than 60 percent of the
books now in use in the schools, un-
der the 1908 adoption. The adoption
is eective August 1 of the present
rear.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Saya Too Much Meat Forma Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irritates the Bladder.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get Bluggish and clog-
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneyB
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the dney
region, get about four uunces Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com-
bined with lithia, and Is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
thenpto normal activity. It also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid-
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com-
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.—Adv.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don’t Look Old! Try Grandmother’s
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray,
Faded, Lifeless Hair.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
wltb a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear-
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. 'By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan-
druff, dry, itchy ecalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every-
body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell It has been
applied—It’s so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair dieappears; after an-
other application or two, it Is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.—Adv.
There’s nothing so gloriously uncer-
tain as a sure thing.

Expensive Litigation Over a Brute
Worth Only 335
McAlester.—A lone red cow upon
which a jury in the county court fixed
a value of $35, will have cost its own-
er more than $300 by the time court
costs are paid. And, to add insult
to injury, the old cow is now dead
forever.
While claimants and attorneys were
fighting for her possession, she gre^
old and weary and finally "gave up
the ghost.” The case was that ol
Dave Moody against Harve Evans,
arising iiT the justice court at Savan-
na two years ago. The cow had dis-
appeared in 1907 and was not found
until 1912, then In the possession ol
Evans. The justice court gave her
to Moody, on replevin, but Evans ap
pealed.
The trial Just ended, which also re-
sulted in Moody's favor, was the sec-
ond in the county court. The court
costs are $300. The cow died last
summer.
