Three phy sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, I am in better health than ever before, and that means much tome, because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of different kinds. What other treatments I tried, helped me for a few days only." t Vdm'aiftTome Don't wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak ing care of yourself. The small aches and pains, and other symptoms of womanly weakness and disease, always mean worse to follow, unless given quick treatment You would always keep Cardui handy, if you knew what quick and permanent relief it gives, where weakness and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard to bear.

J 51 Save Farm Labor Make it Produce More With practically the same labor, horses, mules, wagons and unple mortS yu can produce bigcer crops from the game, or less acreage. It takes ro more work to raise GO to 90 bushels of corn, or one and a half to two bales cf cotton, to the acre than it takes to make or dinary yields. It is not necessary to plant a larger acreage to get a bigger yield. Simply work and cultivate the game amount of land more thoroughly. You can produce bigger crops of COTTON, CORN, TOBACCO, AND ALL CEOPS WITH Vinrinia-Carohna liigli-Crade Fertilisers They contain plant foods which enrich the soil, increase the yield and make farming more profitable.

QUAD Copyright, 1912, by Associated Lit erary Press. HELPFUL WORDS From a Citizen of Scotland Neck. Miss Belinda Jones was the old maid eister of Horace Jones, an J, taken all around and full and by. Horace didn't amount to shucks. In the first place, be was a third rate preacher ith a fourth rate congregation and a fifth rate salary. Sister Belinda had lived in his fami ly and helped at the support for a num ber of years and then had cut loose and gone west There she had hustled with the rest, teaching school, running a boarding house and becoming a sheep owner and had finally acquired an in terest in a mine. She had been for warding money at intervals for a long time and receiving few thanks in reply when she planned a visit east. She reached her brother's house in the middle of the week and had time to look about a bit before Sabbath and bis sermon arrived. She had said very lit tle, and the family couldn't exactly make her out. It wag after returning from church and finishing dinner that she took the bull by the horns and said: "Horace, you can't preach, for this tles! There's many a cowboy or herd er that can beat you ten to one!" There were five exclamations of pro test and amazement from the five mem bers of the family. "It's a fact, Hor ace, and I want you to cut it out. I've been making some inquiries since I ar rived, and I And that you ain't knee high. You haven't made a convert in seven years. It ain't in you." "Belinda Jones!" was almost shouted by five tongues. "Your congregation only paid you $30 last year, but that was more'n you were worth. "I have sent you ?30O In two years, but not another penny of my cash do you receive unless you toe the mark !" "And the mark, sister?" asked the brother. "I'll give you five minutes by the clock to go out of the vineyard busi ness." "But I was called to" "Chop it off! You selected it because you thought It suited you. Yoa haven't pulled one singlo hair from, Satan's head. One minute gone!" "But my dear flock?" "Won't suffer In the least. Indeed, they will feel relieved, and so will you.' "Awful awful!" sobbed the wife. "Can such things be!" sobbed the daughters. "Two minutes gone!" announced Be linda. "Do I understand that If I resign my pastorate I am to look for something better at your hands?" candidly que ried the brother. "You do, but there will be work and hustle connected with it. You'll lose fat for a few weeks." "Oh, Horace, what a sister!" "Oh, papa, what a person!" "Three minutes gone!" said Belinda, as unmindful of the tears and sobs she looked at the clock. "Sister," replied Horace as he came off the perch at last, "it has some times struck me that perhaps I had missed my profession." "Good!" "And that -I wasn't doing my duty by my family." "Xow you are getting down to brass tacks!" "Well, you may consider that I have resigned my pastorate and am now looking for another Job." "My husband a laborer!" sobbed the wife. "Our papa sawing wood for a liv ing!" moaned the girls. "I'll attend to all your cases in due time," grimly announced Belinda. And then, turning to her brother, she said "I see that your grist mill here is to be sold cheap on account of the death of the miller." "Yes." "I'll buy it for you tomorrow. You'll soon work into the business. Yon need a new fence in front of the house. Get a carpenter. The house needs re painting. Get a painter. Go to the stores and see what your debts are and I'll square you up. You'll want 250 bushels of wheat to begin on. I'll buy it for you." "I have often said the Lord was my 6hepherd, and 1" . "Drop it, Horace! You'd have want ed johnny cake and 'lasses in a month more if you hadn't toed the mark." Then she turned to the wife and said: "You have hardly a second dress to your back, and you don't have a caller or pay a call once In three months. Cease your howling and make your garden raise vegetables to help out Being the wife of a third rate preacher don't put a woman way up In G. "Eunice, you and Clara have got beaux. They have been fiddling around for a year. If you can't bring them to time I can and that in short order." "Oh, Aunt Belinda!" In chorus. "Never mind your Aunt Belinda, but give these fellers the glad 'yes' and get homes. And now for you, Cath erine. You are too young to get mar ried. Select your school, and I will keep you there till you graduate." "Sister Belinda, will you permit me to say that Providence" began the brother, but was stopped by: "Shucks! Now as to myself. The man I'm engaged to Is coming on in about a fortnight and we are going to be married right in this house!" j "And I could have performed the feremony!" exclaimed Horace. j "Nit! First class or no wedding! Now let us sing a gospel hymn and be glad." "Had dyspepsia or indigestion for years. No appetite, and what I did eat distressed me terribly. Burdock Blood Bitters reached the cause." H. Walker, Sanbury, Ohio. A philosopher says it is not wrong to say what one thinks. Sometimes, however, it is not prudent. Is your back lame and painful? Does it ache especially after ex ertion? Is there a soreness in the kidney region? These symptoms suggest weak kidneys. If so there is dancrer in delay. Weak kidneys get fast weak. Give your trouble prompt atten tion. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Yous r.ei'Ahbors us3 and recom mend them. Read this Scotland Neck testi mony: Mrs. T. F. Gray, S. Main Street, Scotland Neck, N. C., says: "My experience with Doan's Kid ney Pills has convinced me that they are a remedy of merit. My back and head ached severely and I had dizzy spells and other symstoms of kidney complaint. Finally I pro cured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at E. T. Whitehead Company's drug store and it did not take them long to remove my trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States.

Live Australian Freaka. A calf, somewhat of a freak of na ture, was born on T. G. Ware's farm at Little Akaroa, Australia, recently. It has five legs, the extra one work Ing in a socket in the breastbone. The calf is thriving, and is strong and healthy. Another freak, a lamb, is re ported to have been born at Plat Point Station.

There is nothing more discourag ing than a chronic disorder of the stomach. Is it not surprising that many suffer fcr years with such an ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? "About one year ago," says P. H.
