Young Women
Read what Cardui did for Miss Myria Engler, of
Faribault, Minn. She says: "Let me tell you how much
good Cardui has done me. As a young girl, 1 always had
to suffer so much with all kind of pain. Sometimes, 1 was
so weak that I could hardly stand on my feet. I got a
bottle of Cardui, at the drug store, and as soon as I had
taken a few doses, I began to feel better.
Today, 1 feel as well as anyone can."
Cardui Woman's Tonic
Are you a woman? Then you are subject to a large
number of troubles and irregularities, peculiar to women,
which, in time, often lead to more serious trouble.
A tonic is needed to help you over the hard places, to
relieve weakness, headache, and other unnecessary pains,
the signs of weak nerves and over-work.
For a tonic, take Cardui, the woman's tonic.
You will never regret it, for it will certainly help you. |
Ask your druggist about it. He knows. He sells it.

Flood and

CLO CJDBUItSTS and overflowing
streams spread death and de-
struction broadcast over the
southwest counties of Pennsyl-
vania recently. Threescore or more
lives were lost, while damage to homes
and industries was very heavy.
Several towns were left without rail-
road, mail, telephone and telegraph
connections. Scores of families were
rendered homeless. Railroad tracks
were torn from the roadbed and twist-
ed and bent as though made of lead.
There were many freak Incidents of

' I took the attorney general's opin-

governor says, "but you requested

General's advice you be permitted to
consult your attorney, and after you
received a favorable reply from him.
you asked that the appointment be

"Not only have 1 followed the Attor-

attempted to be performed by the
three members removed after the or-

In his letter the governor again ex-
plained his reason for asking a post-

Kansas City Stock Yards. Aug. 13.—•
t attle have been divided into two
general classes, with respect to their
selling ability the good and the bad.
The upper crust in all the various
classes are selling strong to 15
higher this week, and the lowertwo
thirds are weak and trembling. A
message fromthe parent house of a
string of packing plants to their buy-
ers here said, "Pound light Texas
cattle hard, we can't sell the meat,
steers with weight are all right."
Common cows are an erception to
the general trend, reflected in this
measure, that class selling strong to*
day. Prime natives weighing close to
1 alO pounds sold here today at 10.40,
which is a new high figure for this
season. Best wintered steers, off the
grass, bring $:(.20, and grass steers
in the native division range from $7.00
upwards. The quarantine division is
furnishing the bulk of the cheap bee{
now, steers at $5.00 to $0.50 this week
hut the supply there is light, only 25
car loads today. Owners are holding
back quarantine cattle, because of tha
bad market Inst ten days. .Most ot
these cattle have been light weights,
two year olds, and a big operator
there stated yesterday that many ot
of these cattle would be carried
through the winter unless conditions
improve. A run of 3,000 calves sur-
prised the trade yesterday, and 2000
more came in today, besides 14,000
cattle and veals are cheaper this
week, best at $8.75. Stock steers runi
from $4.55 to $0.85 feeders $5.90 to
$7.85. Another lllliputian run of
hogs came in today, 7000 head, and
they sold 10 higher, tops at $8.50,
bulk $8.25 to $8.45. Heavy pig Iossed
at farrowing time last spring ara
blamed for the light runs, thought
August supplies of hogs are never
r.v heavy. Supply of sheep and lamb
today 11,000 head, market off 25 to
35 cents, following a break of 15 to
25 cents yesterday. Spring lambs
stopped at $6.50 today, wethers a it)
worth up to $4.25, ewes $3.75. Ad-
vance shipments from Utah here this
week are being hit hurd and receipts
from there may be light till the mar-

appealed fo Congress, however, not
to adjourn until it had enacted a
measure to "substantially reduce un-
necessary existing duties" without de-
stroying protection for the wool in-
dustry in the United States.
The President's disapproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with sim-
ilar vetoes of the steel bill and the
cotton bill. The sugar bill was likely
to bo vetoed, as is the excise tax bill,
the latter probably on the ground that
the President believes It unconstitu-
tional.
It was predicted today that the wool
bill might be pussed by the House
over Mr. Taft's veto, out there waa
