It Always Helps says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. 1 wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI The Woman's Tonic a trial. I» still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good." Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years. Get a Bottle Today!

In verses 1(1 18 of our lesson chapter we read of an evil spirit possessing a woman who, as she followed I'aul und hla friends, cried out, "These men are the servants of the Most Iflgh God. who show unto us the way of salva tlou." She continued to do this many days, but Paul. lielng grieved )>.r even so good ami true u testimony from such a source and knowing her to be controlled by an evil spirit, command ed the spirit to come out of her in the name of Jesus Christ, and lie did. It was certainly strange to hear such a testimony from such a source, but an evil spirit In the synagogue at Cajier nauui one day when Jesus was pre* ent cried out, "I know tliec who thou art, the Holy One of God!" And Jesus commanded the spirit to come out ot the man (.Mark 1. 23 2(1). Truth may lie .talked without lioing j known In the heart, but the Lord reads the heart and does not want testimony from Ills enemies. Knowing the truth about the I.ord Jesus doe* not save any one, yet It may lie that many think they are saved lie>ause they lie lleve that Jesus lived and died and rose again and that lie Is the Sou of God.'

HAVE GOOD WAGES AND SHORT HOURS Soma Interesting Figure* As To Act ual Earnings Of Men On Southeastern Roads. Washington, D. C.—ln connection with the movement of train and en gine employes for Increased wages, a frank statement of the earnings of men employed In freight service In the southeastern territory will doubt less be of Interest For engineers the prevailing mini mum rate In through freight service ranges from $5.15 to $5.65 per day for engines of ordinary types, in local freight service from $5.25 to $6.00 for engines of ordinary types, In both through and local freight service from $6.25 to $7.00 for Mallet type eng^pes. For white firemen on engines 'of ordinary types the minimum rate ranges from $2.75 to $3.50 per day in through freight service, from $3.00 to $3.60 In local service; on Mallet engines in both thrcrtigh and local ser vice from $4.00 to $4.25. For conductors the standard mini mum rate In through feetght service is $4.10 per day, in local service $4.50 per day. For white brakemen the standard rate In through freight service is $2.75 per, in local service $3 per day. The foregoing are the minimum daily r&tes that must be made by the railways to each employee in the classes named who does any work at all In a day, irrespective of how few hours he may be on duty or of how few miles be may actually run. These paid for any work up to 100 miles with additional pay for overtime if the run is not completed In the specified number of hours. On the other hand, the earnings of employees frequently exceed these figures as the actual earnings depend upon the number of miles run and, in the case of fast freight runs, the earnings are much higher for com paratively short hours. Taking as an Illustration a fast freight train running over a division 150 miles long where the run can be made in 7 hours and 30 min utes, the engineer would receive tor this 7 1-2 hours on duty the sum of SB.IO, the fireman $4.70, the conduc tor $6.15, and the.white brakeman $4.10. Thus while the first figures show the minimum that can be paid an englofeer, fireman, conductor, or brakeman for a day's work, the lat ter figures Bhow the wages that can be and are being made by train and engine employees on fast freights on long divisions, such as are being run every day In regular service by a number of roads In the southeast for handling live stock, perishables, and other freight which It Is necessary to move on expedited schedules. In yard service the standard rates for white employees vary from $3.00 to $3.50 per day for day switchmen, and from $3.20 to .$3.70 for night switchmen, and from $3.50 to $3.80 for day foremen, and from $3.70 to $4.00 for night foremen. These are the minimum rates that can be paid for a day or any part of a day up to 10 hours, after 10 hours pro rata over time is paid. , Under the men'B proposals the low eat yard employees who now receive 43.00 for a 10 hour day would re ceive $3.00 for an 8 hour day, or $4.12 for the work at present per ' formed in 10 hours, and y the night yard conductor now receiving $4.00 for his 10 hour day would receive this $4.00 for his 8 hour day, or $5.50 for the work at present performed in 10 hours. , It is the rankest nonsense for The Trainman to pretend that the public has nothing to do with this business. The public has everything to do with It, as the brotherhoods will find, if they refuse arbitration and cast con servatism to the winds. Ttie most cowardly government could not, In that case, shrink from Its supreme duty of keeping the national high ways open to commerce.— New Or leans Times-Picayune. FOLLY IN DEMAND FOR SHORT TRAINS MADE DV UNIONS Might list is (ill id Couitrj Tl Return Tl Sailing lilts Aid Dl Cuts Washington, D. C.—To the public th»t pays every dollar of the railroad bill (and forty five cents of every dol lar paid for transportation Is for wages) the leaders of the four brotherhoods of railway employees, who are demanding Increased pat, say: "All the railroads have to do to meet our demands for higher wages Is to shorten their trains, move freight more rapidly, and escape the penalty of overtime wagea." The fallacy of thla statement, which Is the last-ditch argument used In support of the demand for increased wages, is well shown in the following editorial which appeared in the Washington, D. C.

That is on the ques tion of a strike. Declarations have come from every quarter that an interruption of trans portation will not be tolerated by the public, but wifr call forth drastic ac tion. The enormous injury to the country that would result from a na tion-wide strike of train service em ployes Is discussed by a writer In the March National Magazine, rrom 'which the following extract is taken: What such a strike would mean to the American people cannot be set forth in—mere facts and figures, it can be dimly imagined by those who realize what an intimate and vital part railway transportation plays in every industrial activity of the coun try. i There is scarcely a person In any part of the land who would not be immediately affected if the million* of busily turning wheels on our nearly three hundred thousand miles of railway were to stog for a single day. If the tie-up continued for a week, the blow to the Industry of the country would be greater than that caused by any panic of recent history. To the big cities of the coun try, and particularly to the cities of the eastern seaboard It would mean a cutting off of the food supplies that would place the inhabitants virtually in a state of Siege. In the case of many food products these cities do not carry on hand a stock sufficient to feed their people for more than a week, and in the case of some, such as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies are replenished daily. The stoppage of transportation, therefore, would mean suffering and want to these city dwellers, and if continued for long would threaten many of them with actual starvation. To the farmers of the country a general railroad strike would be a catastrophe, only less serious. Cut ofT from his market, the farmer could not move his produce, and the price of grain and other staples would be quickly cut in two, which the marfcet value of more perishable articles would disappear entirely. The great industrial plants of the country womld goon be forced to close down follow ing the declaration of a strike Be cause they could not obtain supplies needed for their operation, nor could they ship their finished products to market. Their plants would soon be Idle, and millions of men would be thrown out of work. With the In come of practically every class of citizens either seriously cut down or suspended entirely, merchants would transact Uttle business, because there would be few purchasers. In short, the Industrial activities of the whole country would be virtually palsied from the moment the railroads ceas ed to operate. The railroads cannot purchase bet terment materials in huge quantities and also devote the same money to the payrolls. If they yield to the de mands of the men they must abstain from spending what they are plan ning to Bpend for purchases; the result will be that the steel mills will drift back into slackness and the business boom just getting well un der way will flatten out, to the bitter cost of everybody in the country—De troit Free Press. The use of the huge new locomo tives and the long and heavy trains, against which the Brotherhoods of freight trainmen, who are asking an enormous Increase In wages, protest so vigorously, seems to have resulted in a rapid decrease in accidents to railroad employees, and a decided In crease In their safety. The number Of railway employees' killed In ser vice diminished from 620 In 1911 to 452 In 1914, and the number of In jured from 6601 to 4823. To pursue a dispute as to hours and wages on the theory that work ingmen are entitled to all that can be forced from employers and extort ed from the people by employers Is not the best way to promote the per manent welfare of labor.—New York World. ballasting roadbeds and putting in heavy rails, so that powerful loco motives, larger cars, and longer trains could be handled in one movement'.' If this object had not been achieved railway wages never could have been advanced to the point at which they already have arrived and traffic rates never could have been held down where they are today without the whole railroad system of the United States being made a financial wreck. "Any child can see that If, after tbe principal railroads of the coun try nave been reconstructed to haul the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut every freight train in half, the cost of operation must be increased stu pendously, with . two locomotives where one now does, with two engi neers where one now does, with two firemen where one now does, with two conductors where one now does, with virtually two whole train crews where one now does, not to speak of the new equipment and the new ter minal facilities that would be needed. "This proposal Is not essentially different from urging that the world go back from the steamships of to day to the sail barks of centuries ago, from the railroads themselves to tbe stage coaches and ox carts of the past It is like suggesting that the farmer himself drive his wagon load of produce in small lots day af ter day to ftie distant market of tbe city instead of loading It in bulk iato freight cars and shipping it all at I once by rail-" The Purist Lost a Sale.
