MARION PROGRESS, MARION. N. C;, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1940 WEEKLY MEDITATION By Rev. Paul A. Boriack, B. D.. Pastor St. Matthew’s Luth eran Church, Marion, N. C. THE OPENING MONTH On The Farm and in The Home “Godliness with contentment” is j^reat gain. Many of us do not have the wealth and everything that goes ■yvith it that some favored ones en joy. The thought of that often makes 119 envious and consequently unhap py. The following story has a splen did lesson just along that line of thought. “Anna,” said Kathleen, to her elder sister, “I wish we had a lovely cement bird fountain with a pedestal like the Masons have.” “But I don’t think birds are proud like some people,” said Anna, smil ing. “What do you mean?” asked Kathleen. “Well,” said Anna, “I have *;€en birds drink out of a puddie and { cut of a rusty tin pan. And they al-j ways lifted their heads as though] t'iey were thanking God for the! water.” I Kathleen thought for a few min- : le‘=. “I guess I know what you tiean,” she said slowly. “We can have a bird fountain even if we t an't afford an expensive one. Old Bolivar was fond of trees: He loved their coo! and peaceful shade In which he liked to loll at ease With a fat jug of lemonade. No wonder then, in early May, He yearly held tree Planting Day.

Loss of appetite; overstuffed feeling, biliousness, gas pains, bloatedness, all tend to tear down our physical p,ppearance and make up.

Principal way CARDUI helps is by stimulating appetite and the flow of gastric juices. Thus it may aid digestion; help build up a woman’s strength, energy and nerve-force; so increase physical resistance to periodic discomfort. It also helps reduce periodic dis tress for many who take it a few days before and during “the time.” ASHBY ROBINSON. jtional Institute of Government, May j confidence in CARDUI is in vited by its 50 years of popularity.
