I It Always Helps M says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in K * writing of her.experience with Cardui, the woman's tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use BQfl 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 pQJ of CarduL I began to feel like a new woman. I soon Lrj 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 g The Woman's Tonic Q a trial I still use Cardui when 1 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- had ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's IQI tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui CI for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years. Get a BottjeToday I , „ M PHILADELPHUS. N'ortli Carolina's Most Progretalvr Ku ril Communlt). State Board oI Health Bu^etin. Near the town of Red Springs, N. C\, there is an old aettlement of Scotch people who have caught the spirit of progress, and are making their country districts as attract ive a place in which to live as any well ordered progressive town. In the center of the community there is an old church in which the people have worshiped for half a century, and by it stands the finest rural school building, perhaps, in the State—a building that is large, well equipped, of beautiful de sign, and yet stands out in the grove almost alone—a place of op portunity for the youth of a rural community of some six or eight milts square. The school I* one of eleven grade* and prepare* lt.> stu dent* for entrance to any college in the Slate. A Farm Life School is to be established In the same building with the opening of the next session. The settlement referred to Is the I'hiladelphus section in Robeaon county. The people of that com munity have been aroused during the aummer months to the import ance of rural aanltatlon, and, at their request, the State Board of detailed one of the field director* of the Hookworm Comttliission to establish there a Model Sanitary Community, and the results that have been accomplished so far arc very gratifying, indeed. The work started with the arri val in the community of Dr. I). C. A basher, who is assisted by Mr. W. P. McKay. At the very beginning u Civic League with Mr. N. B. Mc- Arthur as president and Mr. G. A. McKay as secretary, was organi zed. This Civic League has been the mean* of Interesting practi cally every man, woman and child in the community, so that people have pulled together along every line in effort* to make the commu nity a better place in which to live. And they nave lucceedod al ready to a very Urge extent, "Clean-up" days have neeti done away with a great amount ol trash at all the homes, have elimi nated filth to a large extent, and have greatly reduced the number flies. A large number of aanitary closet* havo been conatructed. About 200 people have been vacci nated agalnat typhoid fever. - By tho time the work i* finished every home will have a sanitary closet, and every person infected with the Hookworm disease will be cured thciebv eradicating that disease that disease entirely, and to a great extent eradicaing all other diseases due to soil pollution, suah as typhoid fever, Dysenteries, Di arrhoea*, etc. The value of thi* health cam paign cannot be estimated now. PhiTadelphu* Is, and will be a mod el. Let other communities think of inaugurating a campaign. The oame sort of work is now going on in four other counties in the State— Sampson, New Hsnover, Columbus and Nash. Any com munity which desires to have such important work done csn obtain the necessary information by ap plying to the Hookworm com- Commission of the State Board of Health. The work I* done upon in vitation only, and no community munlty will be considered which doe* not make application. There are only a few men available for thla work and they will be sent to those communYfies offering the heartiest co-operation. T» Ore a Col* In On* l>a«. Taka Laxative Brorao Quinine Tablets.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THB GLEANER Methods of Capturing Wild Elephants. Coniiular Report. The chief method! adopted for the capture of wild elephant! in India are an follows: driving the "Icheddahs", or Inclosures; hunt ing with trained females; pitfalls; noosing -from trained elephants i backs. The "kheddah" plan such as was used at the recent drive at I Mysore, is the only one adopted I for the capture of whole herds, the | others being for the single ele phants. It is" a method in vogue wherever there arc governmeht hunting establishment* In India. About S7O men are usually used for such work, and attached to each party there must be a number of tame elephants to deal with the wild elephants when captured, for not only have the wild ones to be led out of the jungle and taken to drink and bathe daily, but each require# an elephant's load of fod der, which the tame ones have to bring, consequently two .wild ones to each tame one Is the maximum that can be managed. When the elephants are driven into a particular space which may from six to ten miles in circumfer ence, and within which there must be good fodder, a thin fence of split bamboos Is placed around it and this investment may remain a week or so until the elephants seem to become accustomed to it. Finally the elephants thus enclos ed are guided by beaters to a gate from which two lines of strong palisades run out.. Then the gate is made very strong and is studded with iron spikes on the inside. Thru' this gateWky und palisade the elephants 'are driven Into a small enclosure, and then tame elephants enter and secure the wild ones by separating them one by one from their companions. Their hind legs are then tied to gether and ropes placed around each captives neck, after which they are led out and picketed in the forest until they have become sufficiently subjugated to be re moved. The largest male elephants are seldom caught with a herd In this way, as they usually make their way, as they usually make their escape out of the circle of men thru their greater boldness. As a rule they are caught by making use of a decoy female elephants, which are driven to the jungle where the single male la known to be, and allowed to grace aa though they were wild but with men rid ing them who are partly concealed with dark colored blankets. When approaching the femalea these large males are secured by the legs and fastened to treea. The sport of noosing them from trained ele phant's backs is aaid to be an ex citing but not advantageous meth od or capturing them. Kinship of European Mooardu at War Some Closely Related. Bxchange. Onlyi a week or ao ago the Oer man press waa begging the Bngliah not to side with Blava and French against their kinsmen of the Teu tonic race, while now the same pa pers are exercising themselves to prove that there Is no racial klna shlp. However, It mar be with the peoples, the rulers of most of the great nations of Europe are ao closely related that among the royal houses, at least. It Is very nearly a war of brothers. The Emperor of Qermsnv and the King of England are flrfst cousins, the late Empress Frederick of Germany having been the Princess Victoria, elder sister of Edward VII, of Eng land. Likewise the Csar of Rua sls is first cousin to King George their mothers being both sisters. Princesses of Denmark. The Csar and the Kaiser are not related. The Emperor of Austria-Hungary la akin to none of the other war ring monarcha of Europe, nor to any who are likely to be drawn Into the campaign. He is, how ever, related both by blood and marriage to the royal family of Ba varia. King Peter of Bervla la related marriage to the family of hla ally, Nicholss of Montenegro. That ruler has married two of his daughter* to Orand Dukes of Russia, with which nation he Is more or less al lied, and another to the King of Italy. I la believed that the Mon tenegrin Queen of Ifaly has already done much to make her husband's kingdom favorable to that of her King Constantine of Greece, who la so closely allied to Bervla that he may be drawn Into war agalnat the Germans, married Princes* So phie Dorothee of Prussia, a Bis ter of the Kaiser. The Crown Prin ce aa Cecille of Oermany la a niece of Prince Henry of Mecklenburg, husband of Queen Wllhelmlna of of the Netherlands, who may be driven to war agalnat hla niece's huaband. King Carl of Roumanla belongs to the other branch of .the Hohen xollern house, whoae headquarter* are the caatle of Bigmarlageo. Hla connection with the Emperor of Oermany la not a dose one, bat it might atill be unnleaaant If, aa is quite possible, he should be drawn into the war on the side of Bervla and Montenegro. King Albert of the Belgians Is the son of a Prince** of this south ern branch of the houae of Hohen zollern.. He la also related to the house of Baxe-Coburg-Gotha, which I* one of the ruling families of the German empire, and ia a diatant cousin of Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who may also be called la on the aide of the Germana.

Many miles of country roads have been Improved in the southwestern country by the application of caliche, which. If properly bandied, gives satis faction for a country road of moderate coat. Last season three miles of road near Phoenix were Improved by the application of caliche and a wearing surface of oiled sand and gravel. Caliche Is a local name for a calca reous, cement-like deposit which occurs In great abundance In many parta of Arizona, particularly In and near the foothills. When pulverized, wet and compacted by traffic or rolling It forms a macadam or concrete-like mass of moderate hnrdness and fairly high de gree of toughness. The engineer states that the road has a very satisfactory surface, but it re mains to be seen whether the sand and oil will last as long as the caliche base. The cost of the road was about $5,000 per mile. Caliche was hanled from one and three-quarters to four and three quarter miles and the oil from four 111 one-half to seven and one-half mllea.-Engineering Record. ■MIIIIIIIIIIII I 1 I I I I I I I I »y EXPERIMENTAL ROADS. + ' Over 480,000 square yards of ■ ; different tj-pse of roads for ex- ; ! perimental and object leaaon . ■ ■ • purposes were fonstructed dor- ] :: Ing the fiscal jsar 1013-13 un- . > ' ■ der the supervision of tbs offlce ; ! of public roads.

GOOD ROADS IN WISCONSIN. Th« Countiaa Take Advantage of Btata Aid- All tho counties of Wisconsin are taking advantage of state aid for the improvement of tliclr roads this year. The increasing popularity of tills plan is described by John A. Hazel wood, chairman of the state highway com mission. as follows: "Wisconsin embarked upon a policy of county aid for highway improve ment of the principal roads in the counties of the state by an enactment of the legislature iiui'JO", and under the policy of countghid twenty coun ties in the state acSppllshed a great deal of good prior t0*912. "In 1911 the Wisconsin legislature decided upon the policy of state aid in' addition to the county aid provided for in 1907 itud made an appropriation of 1350.000 annually to carry the under taking along. During the year 1912 sixty-live counties out of seventy-one asked and received county and state aid. Last year sixty-eight out of the seventy-one have received county and state aid for highway betterment "The legislature of 1913, apparently appreciating the success and populari ty of the state aid provision over that of the county aid policy, appropriated $1,200,000 annually to carry along the good roads work. In 1911, by a nar row margin of one vote, the state ap propriation was made for the new poli cy, while iu 1913 every vote In both bouses of the legislature, with the ex ception of seven, was cast for tho sl,- 200,000 appropriation. "Since the legislature adjourned the three counties not engaged In good road work prior to this time have vot ed to come under the provisions of the state aid policy. Consequently In 1914 the entire state la carrying on road Im provement under the state aid policy." THE HORSELESS AGE. Automobile, and Heavy Auto Trucks Ma'ta Read Problem Harder. The astonishing results of a census taken recently on a secondary thor oughfare leading out of London show ed only 8 per cent of u nne drawij »» blcles. The exact count was fifteen vehicles of the latter £|ass to COO re mote* propelled otherwise man by how. Herein ilea an explanation of the failure of the public authorities generally throughout the world to maintain roads and streets In goed condition, ▲ similar example of the extraordi nary change that has occurred In the use of roads In recent years Is that of a furniture manufacturing concern In East on, Pa., which delivers on its own trucks to New York city instead of using the already tui» true ted steel roada—namely, the railroads. This concern uses the ordinary roada. A considerable *onna£j is thus trans ferred flou tue steel roads specially constructed to bear It to the country road n/i constructed for any such weight or friction. It has thus come to pass that the acience of engineer ing, which waa called upon to furnish experts to railroad companies.
