F. D. 2, Hickory Gjrove, S. C. "I was thin and pale. I was so weak I could scarce ly walk. I tried sev eral remedies which were suggested, but nothing seemed to help me. Night after night I worried because I could see I was going down-hilL I had my children to look after, and I was afraid of what would be come of them if anything hap pened to me. "I began to take Cardui on the recommendation of a friend. It wasn’t long until I was beginning to pick up. My strength jn^aaually began to return. I rested better at night and was less nervous. I took several bottles of Cardui, aud when I had finished tak ing it 1 was in^fine health.'^ Hickory,, June 12.—Political dom ination of the United States, 1930 census and the practice of state edu cational institutions operating mer cantile establishments came in for jabs in the for of resolutions adop ted here today by the North Carolina Merchants Association. Efforts in Congress to prevent the civil service commission from ap pointing census supervisors and em-1 ployes were condemned as a move to j mar the usefulness of the count and! turn it into , “an engine for self inter-i est.” j State educational institutions were j charged with operating mercantile establishments in direct competition j with members of the state associa tion and it was provided that the matter be taken before Governor Gardner and officers of the schools.

He adds that on a number of occasions t*^ls game' was so little wild that It was neces- ; sary ^o fire shots to protect the party | from It Perrot states that during the winter of 1670-1671, 2,400 moose were snared on the Great Manltoulln island | at the head of Lake Huron.

Although freely drawn upon from the first, the stock was little depleted up to within a century. During the last one hundred yeans, however, the rapid ly increasing occupation of the conti nent and other causes, together with a steadily increasing commercial de mand for animal products, have had an appalling effect. The buffalo, elk and antelope are reduced to a pitiful fraction of their former countless numbers. | I’ractically all other large game has ! dians of most of the tribes from Bering straits to California and the Rocky Mountain region abound in tales of the “thunder-bird”—a gigan tic bird of prey like a mighty eagle, capable of carrying away people in its talons.
