Just Tottering, So Weak "I was in a bad state of health and was going through a critical time of my life," says Mrs. Ella Scarborough, R. F. D. 5, Dothan, Ala. "Several dif ferent things were recommend ed to me, but I did not get any real relief until I began to take CarduL "I was just as weak as could be. My legs were shaky, and often I would just totter around the house. I finally got so bad that I was in bed sever al weeks. "It was then that I began to take CarduL I kept it up for quite a while, and at last I re gained my health. Cardui was certainly a friend to me in time of need. "My health is splendid now, and I seldom have to use medicine, but I gladly say a word about Cardui whenever I find a friend going through the same suffering which I en dured."

TAKE CARDUI * A PURELY VEGETABLE TONIC j RESPONSIBILITY FOR AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS The constant succession of motor accidents occurinp everywhere every day present a problem. Why do these take place and where is the blame usually to be placed? Eight recent accident near Wine? ton-Sal em follow ed each other within three days. Thirteen cars were damaged and two persons injured. The Winston-Salem police assert that two of these wrecks I were due to speedinc- Two others I were caused by failure to observe the rule of right of way. One resulted from inattention, one from cutting corners, and one from disregard of traffic signals. In this series of accidents there J was no defective mechanism, no weak I axles or bad steering gear. There ' were no obstructions in the roadway, no tire blowout?, no failure of traf fic signals to operate, no unmarked holes in the street, and no case of pedestrians walking in the way of the cars. Also there was no rain to blind the drivers. The streets were not slippery and the brakes did not give , way or fail to hold. Seven of these I accidents were caused by the care lessness of the drivers and by their failure to think and act correctly. The Winston-Salem Journal says that not more laws but more active brains are needed in motoring. Last year 2,492 persons were killed in the United States in ^rade crossing* acci dents. How many of them would be living today if car drivers had thought and acted correctly? A proper ob ; servance of the rule to stop, look, awl listen would probably have saved "all I or most of them. Twenty thousand eight hundred and nineteen other persons were killed in motor accidents on highways last year. The exercise of common sense as to speed, passing other cars, and taking curves would have saved most of these. Care and brains constitute the great problems of automobile driving today, above everything else. Legi slation, traffic rules and signals, pro per construction of highways have done all that can be expected of them. The exercise of intelligent care is the fundamental question. In any occu pation ignorant, careless, thoughtless people are a menace to themselves and to others. Many great fires. ??x- 4 plosions, and other serious disasters have originated from negligence. A fool is a trial to himself and to all around him, and yet fools are con stantly present and hard to eliminate. Earnest efforts are needed to edu cate the public to the need for care. Negligent persons should not be per mitted to drive cars, just as they should not be allowed to hold respon sible positions in any line. Strict en | forcement of adequate laws as to the | training of chauffeurs and autonio I bile owners may accomplish much. But after all the aroused and intelli gent direction of public opinion is the best way of securing care and effi ciency. ? A she vi lie Citizen.

Earth has lost its look of gladness Heaven seems to us more bright, Since the Spirit of the dear one, Took its happy, homeward flight. And we long to cross thp river, Long to rest upon the shore. Long xo see, to know, and love him, With the Saviour evermore. Soft and bright the stars are shining. Shining o'er the lonely grave Where lies the one thats loved so dearly.
