It Always Helps •ays Mrs. Sylvan la' Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In writing of her experience with Cardul, the woman's tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use Cardul, 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 CarduL I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 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 Cardul 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! 1M TO ENCIRCLE THE COUNTRY. Representative 6Upti«n« Introduce Bill for National Highway. A notional highway 10,000 mile* long, Circling tbe United stilted nnil running Strategically near the Pacific, Atlantic •nd gulf coaats, an well as our north ern and southern Urnler linen, will be constructed and maintained by tbc fed eral government If the bill Introduced la congress by Itepresentatlve William XX Stephen* of California la adopted. It la proposed tlmt the new highway, which nulnly la to lie constructed for national defense, shall cross the Unit ed States, running eastward by the moat practical route through Califor nia, Arizona, New Mexico and the gulf atatas to Jacksonville, Fla.; thence nortli through tbe Atlantic coast states to Portland, Me. Commencing again •t New York city, the great roadway would run westward through New York, Fenuaylrnnln, Ohio and Indiana to Chicago; thence north to 8L I'aul and west through the I>akntaa, Mon tana, Idaho, Washington and at Beat tie branch aonth the length of tbe Pa dflc coast to Han Diego. It la also proposed to bind the Inland points to the main highway now form ed or contemplated. Every city In this part of the country would be on either • mala or branch road connecting with {be great highways which already span the country from the Atlantic to tbe Pacific. The various sections through which tbe proposed national highway would ran can be relied upon to give their state and county highway sys terns already constructed to tbe gov ernment, providing tbe latter main tains and extends these roads. It Is eetlmated that a Ismd Issue of 1100^000,000 will lie ample to maintain the roada already built and to con struct snch llnks as will be needed In the nest fifty years. The supervision of tbe roads will lie In the bands of tho United States engineers and will pro- Tide work format least 100,(WO Amerl can cltlsena, who must lie physically eligible for active service In the army.

New York STAKING FARM BOYS. Bankers and Business Marl of Oklaho ma Btart Youngsters In Hog Raiaing. Bankers and business men through out Oklahoma are starting hundreds of farm boys Into tbc bog raising busi ness by iflther furnishing a free pig or lending the money necessary to a start In tho business. Although many per sons have expressed a willingness to provide a certain number of boys wltb foundation stock at no cost, the most popular plan now seems to lie a busi ness arrangement by which the boy shares a responsibility practically equivalent to that of business trans actions he may enter Into later In life. Three county agents In eastern Okla homa rocently held a conference and adopted a contract form to lie used In their counties In tbe l'lg club work. Following are the terms of the con tract as agreed upon in these three counties: That tbe party of the first part fur li Is lies to the party of tbe second part a registered sow pig. That the party of the second part agrees to receive tbe pig abovo men tioned, to make all reports required, feed It, care for It and house It as directed by the party of the first part, provided that all pigs shall be housed In n hog house such as described In Farmers' Bulletin 500, on pages 11, 12 and 13, or a bog house of Its equiva lent It is further agreed that the party of the second part shall breed tbe sow when not less than eight months of age to a registered site of the same breed. It la further agreed that the party of the second part shall keep all breed ing stock registered. T % It Is further agreed that the party of tbe first part reserves the right to purchase the choicest pig of tbe first litter at from six to ten months of age at sls If unbred and at |2O If bred, to be sold In turn to another club mem ber. It Is further agreed that tbc party of the second part shall sign a promis sory note, which shall bear 10 per cent Interest from date until paid, for such an amount as purty of tho first part may have siient for the pig that was delivered to the party of the second part. It Is further sgreed that payment of above note shall lie made on or before the expiration of ono year from time of entering this contract and when samo shall have been paid by tbe par ty of tho second part that the Original sow mentioned, together with all of her Increase, shall become tho property of the party of the second part It Is further agreed that In case tbe party of the second part Is unable to carry out the provisions of this con tract or willfully violates them the pig with all her Increase shall be paid for at once by tho party of the second part or returned to tho party of the first part to lie delivered to soine other club member. In such rase the party of the second part ceases to be a club member. Pruning Ptach Tr##t. [J. P. nitltloll. Oklahoma station ) A question frequently asked I*.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson Xll.—Second Quarter, Foi June 18,1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Tsxt of the Lsston, Acts xvi, 19-34 Memory Vsraea, 33, 34—Golden Tsxt Acts xvi, 31—Commentary Prsparsc by Rsv. D. M. Bt«srns. In verses 10-18 of our lesson chapter we of uii evil spirit possessing a Woman who, uh she followed I'aul and bis friends, cried out, "These men are tbe servants of tlio Most High (lod. who show unto us tbe Way of salvn tlon."

It wus certainly strange to bcur such a testimony from such a source, but an evil spirit In tbc synagogue at Cuper nutim one ln.v when .Ichus was pre* ent cried out, "I know tliee who thou art, the Holy One of fjod!" And Jesus commanded the spirit to come out ol the man (Mark 1. 23-20). Truth may be talked without being known In the heart, but the Lord leads tho heart and does not want testimony from Ills enemies. Knowing tbe truth about the I.ord Jesus does not save any one, yet It may lie that many think they are saved I>e nn-Wthey lie lleve that Jesus lived and died and rose attain and that He Is the Son of Ood. Hut It Is he that hath the Hoi of (lod that batli life, and be that hath not the fori of !od bath not life Only such as receive Him liecoine children of osl tl John v, 12: John 1. 12).

Compare tbe riot of the silversmith* at Kpbcsua In chspter xlx, and then think of tbe opixialtlon of the liquor dealers and all who dla honor Jesu* Christ to the work and teaching of Rev. William Hunday and all true evangelists; also the opposl tlon of those who profit by graft to those who desire righteousness. Then notice that If yOu won't let the devil help you he will take pains to ahow you how he can hate you and persecute you. Compare In Kara iv. 1-8, the decided opjmaltlon of those who were not permitted to help In the work. There are *tlll those who are ready to belt) In many a good work If they may In-long to the devil while they do It But If asked to renounce the devil and to receive the Lord Je sus and put their trust In Ills great aacrlflce as the Hon of God. then one la apt to witness tbe euinlty of the csrnsl mind against God. How grand was tbe victory of faitb In these men of God. who, with sorr snd bleeding tack* and feet in tht stocks, could praise the God whose j they were and whom they served and talk with Him In heaven from the!i| prison! Not only did the other prlsou j er* hear,them praising God, but tbey were heard in heaven, and suddenly tbe earth was shaken, and tbe prison too; prison doors were opened and ev ery one'a bonds loosed (verses 25, 20) Oh, how great aud , wonderful I* out God. the God of Israel, who only doest wonders! (Ps. Ixxti, If, 19.) As some one has said, these men had not Influ ence enough on earth a?

It wet midnight when thejr. prated and sane praises, but (he God of Tsrael neither slumbers nor sleeps; He watches ovei His people night and day (Pg cxxi, 4; Isa. xxvll, 3). Not only was the prison shaken, but the keeper was so shaken when he saw the prison doors open that he would have killed himself if Paul had not cried out, "Do thyself no harm, for wc are all here!" He was shaken deep down In his soul, too, for, fnlllnf.' down trembling before Paul and Silas, he brought them out and said, "81rs what must I do to be saved V" Then did Paul at this unexpected midnight service speak to him and to his house the word of the Lord. und they be lieved—that Is, they received the I.ord Jesus Christ-and, being saved, they confessed Christ tn baptism and were all tilled with rejoicing.

HAVE GOOD WAGES AND SHORT HOURS Some Interesting Figure* A* To Act ual Earnings Of Men On Southeastern Roads. Washington, p. C. —In 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 engines. 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 thrcAigh and local ser vice from $4.00 to $4.25. For conductors the standard mini mum rate in through freight 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 dally rites that mußt 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 he may actually run. These rate3_jire 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 for this 7 1-2 hours on duty the Bum 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 englrfeer, fireman, conductor, or brakeman for a day's work, the lat ter figures show 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's proposals the low est 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 „ 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 I for the work at present performed in i 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. The most cowardly government could not, In that 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 BY UNIONS Might Just As Well Ask Country To Return To Sailing Boats And Ox Carts Washington, D. C.—To the public that 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 pay, 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 wages." The fallacy of this statement, which is the laat-dltch argument used In support of the demand for Increased wages, Is well shown In tbe following editorial which appeared In the Washington, D. C. Times of April 19, under the heading "A Mad Freight Train idea:" "Everybody In tbe ranks of the general public will agree with the railway managers that the campaign which tbe railway workers are wag ing, particularly In the west, for short er trains, while at the same time de manding higher pay and fewer hours of work, is of all possible claims tbe most preposterous.

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 will 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 1B discussed by a writer in the National Magaaine, from ■ 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. There is scarcely a person in any part of the land who would not be /inmediately affected if the millions of busily turning wheels on our nearly three hundred thousand miles of railway were to stop 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 wohld mean a cutting oft 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 off 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 marltet value of more perishable articles would disappear entirely. The great industrial plants of the country wotrid soon 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 little 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 for purchases; the result will be that the Bteel 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 Occidents 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 the principal, railroads of the coun try have 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 euuiffment 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 the stage coaches and ox carts of the past. It Is like suggesting that tbe farmer himßelf drive his wfigon load of produce in small lots day af ter day to ftie distant market or the city instead of loading it in bulk law freight cars and shipping it all at once by rail."
