It Always Helps says Mrs. Sylvanla Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able to do any of my houseworlt, After taking three Dottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new worrjan. I soon 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 The Woman's Tonic 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 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.

J i ; CHARACTERS OF SEEDS Close Relationship of Sudan and Johnson Grasses. Msy Be Distinguished When Their Comparative Site and Certain Fea tures of Appearance Are Tak en Into Consideration. illy F. II tiII.I,MAN.) The close relationship of Sudan grass and Johnson grass leads to a pronounced similarity In their seeds. The two kind* of seed can be dis tinguished, however, when their com parative size and certain feutures of their appearance due to differences In development are considered. When properly Interpreted, the ilis tliiKUlshiug characters are believed to be sufficiently reliable to make possible an accurate quantitative analysis of a mixture of the two kind* of seed, even though unhulled grains of both grasHcs are present. When the seeds of the two kinds nre under observation, the larger *li!e of the Sudan gran* seeds. Including the bulled grains, Is readily noticeable. The lighter color of the hulled grains Is also evident. Distinguishing characters presented by either of the two kluds of seed ob servable In the absence of the other depend chiefly on a difference In the development of the plants preparatory to seed fall. This may best be under stood by llrst considering the structure of the termlnnl clusters of the general seed cluster, or Inflorescence taken collectively. " Johnson grass is seen to bear several seeds attached directly lit the nodes of the Jointed nxi* of III* cluster. Accom panying these fertile or grnin-beurlng splkelcts, which constitute the greater part of I lie unhulled commercial seed, are several slender, sterile splkelets, each elevated on a stem or pedicel which Is attached with a fertile spike let at the node of the rnehls. It Is to be noted that the terminal fertile ■pikelet Is accompanied by two sterile splkelets with their pedicels. It Is es pecially to be noted that each node and tho apex of each pedicel nre tnnrked by u distinct crossllne Indl -I*o. 1 Johnson Grass Seeds, Enlarged— Unhulled Beeds, Splkelets (1); Hulled Grains (2); a, a, Scar of the Hull; b, b, Appendages of the Seed With Expanded, Cup-Shaped Apexes; c.

In conse quence, the aeod fall doe* not uni formly roNtilt from aoparatlon at the articulation, but rather from the breaking of tho rachla aegment* nnd pedicels at their weakeßt point, usually near the center. Moat of the unhulled seeds therefore have a short atom. Johnson grass seeds In the hull Tory In length from fifteen one-hundredth* to twenty-two one-hundredtli* of an Inch. Most of the seeds have a smooth, rounded, and light-colored scar at the base. The appendage* of the seed are mostly entire, expanded, cup-shaped, and smooth at the apexes, correspond ing with tho scar at the tut so of the seed, Tho uniformly smooth border of the expanded, cup-shaped apex, to gether with the Ktuooth seed seag re sult* from the normal separation of the scsl a definite suture. The prevailing color of mature seed hulls I* blackish brown. Many seeds are partially or wholly reddish. Some are straw-colored. A few are tawuy or light brown. ; The hulled grains vary from eight one-humlredths to twelve one-bun- I dredtbs of nu lnh In length. They usually are oval, sometimes ovalelllp tlral In outline, the embryo end tend- I Ing to be the more pointed. The color Is dark reddish brown. They are no tlrealdy smaller and darker colored than those of Sudan grass and have a relatively nnrrower embryo. Some of the seeds of Johnson grass | present a short stem, owing to failure i to separate at the articulation of the rnrhls and splkelet. In such cases, the distinct suture at (he articulation In Johnson grass, evident under a good magnifier, appears to be an unfailing mark of distinction between the seeds of Johnsoq grass aafl Sudan grass.

In the seeds of both Sudan grass and Johnson grass some Individuals have a stem from one to three times as long as the seed.

Examination of various samples of Sudan grass and Johnson grass seeds has shown the combined characters of size of seed In the hull, the presence or absence of the articulating suture II nd tinnlly the size, form and color of the grain, Including the relative size of the embryo to be conclusive points of distinction. COWPEAS GROWN IN SUMMER Valuable Crop to Precede and Follow Grain—Roots and Btubble Left Behind Enrich Soil. (By J. F. NICHOI.SON, Airronomlat, Uni versity of Arizona V Cowpeas may be grown during the siiinmer, being a valuable crop, there fore, to follow nud precede gruln crops where sufficient water for their cul ture Is avalluble. If fed green or cut for hoy, the roots and stubble left be hind enrich the soil; and If the entire growth be plowed under, a still greater addition Is made to the fertility of the field. The fact that they grow only during summer when Irrigation water Is comparatively scarce has prevented as extensive culture as would be pos sible with a more abundant water sup uly. The Whlppoorwtll Is the variety most commonly planted, although the blackeyed cowpea Is recommended as a feeding crop for all elevations ex cept the highest, where It Is not al ways certain. A better variety for the higher elevations Is the New Era. Cowpeas should be planted from April 1 to August 1, at elevations un der 3,500 feet, from May 5 to July 1 under 6,000 feet, and from May 10 to June 15 at elevations over 5,000 feet. The later dates are for dry farming sections over 8,500 feet. They are not successful at a lower altitude except under Irrigation. WAIT UNTIL COW FRESHENS Not Advisable to Milk Three-Year-Old Heifer Before That Period, Bays sn Expert. A dairyman wants to know If It Is a good Idea to milk a three-year-old heif er before she freshens. Prof. W. L. Fowler of Oklnlioma A. anil M. college says It Is rarely necessary to milk a heifer before freshening. "It sometimes happens," say Profes sor Fowler, "thnt the udder Is caked and pains the cow, so that It Is almost necessary to milk her a little before she freshens. Try to avoid milking a heifer before freshening, If possible, as she will give more milk after fresh ening than she would If milked before that time."

RECOMMEND FULL NAVY AND ARMY OF 500,000 Declare* President In Dlapaaalonate But Unmeasured Denunciation of Courae of That Government, Whloh He Characterized aa a Challenge to Mankind and a Warfare Against All Nations, Making Neutrality Neither Feasible Nor Desirable. Washington.—President Wilson ask ed Congress, assembled in joint ses sion, to declare a state of war exist ing between the United States and Germany. » In a dispassionate but unmeasured denuncatlon of the course of the Im perial Government, which he charact erized as a challenge to all mankind and a warfare againat all nations, the President declared that neutrality no longer was feasible or desirable where the peace of £fie world was Involved; that armed neutrality had become in effectual enough at beat, and was like ly to produce what It was meant to prevent, and urged that Congress ac cept the gauge of battle with all the resources of the nation. "I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial Ger man Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States," said the President, "that It formally ac cept the status of belligerent, which has thus been thrust upon it, and that it take steps not only to put the coun try In a more thorough state of de fense, but also to exert all Its power and employ all its resources to bring the Government of the German Empire to terms and end the war." When the President had finished speaking, resolutions to deelare a state of war existing were introduced in both hous es of Congress, referred to approprate committees and wilf be debated. There Is no doubt of their passage. The objects of the United States in entering the war, the President said, were to vindicate the principles of peace and justice against "selfish and autocratic power." Without selfish ends, for conquest or dominion, seek ing no Indemnity or material compen sations for the sacrifices it shall make, the United States must enter the war, the President said, to make the world safe for democracy, as only one of the champions of the rights of mankind, and would be satisfied when those rights were as secure as the faith and freedom of nationft could make them.

Mr. Clark received 217 votes against 206 for Representative Mann, the Re publican choice.for Speaker, who not only failed to receive an Independent vote, but lost the support of five of his party colleagues. All the Democrats present voted for Mr. Clark and were jointed by Rep resentatives Hall, Progressive, Minne sota; Martin, Progressive-Protection ist, Louisiana; London, Socialist, New York and Randall, Prohibitionist, Coll-' fornia.

He asked permission to address the House just after the first roll call and then after declaring the international situation demanded united support of President Wilson, roused tremendous cheering by announcing that although with his sightless eyes he could be of no use on the battlefield he could at least support the President by cast ing a vote for Champ' Clark.

COTTONSEED MEAL FOR COWS Iseuthern Scientist Finds Oil May Be ' Detected In Butter Within 12 to 35 Hour* After Fed. A southern scientist has found that cottonseed oil may be detected In the butter made from cows fed cottonseed meal within 12 to 35 hours after first feeding. From the time of the first appearance the test for cottonseed oil becnme more pronounced, until the seventh day, when the Influence of the oil appears to be at Its maximum. After two, four and six weeks' con tinuous feeding of oil the effect la no more pronounced. In most cases even less than at the end of the first week. When the oil Is removed troratbe tfc tlon Its effect apparently disappears within one or two weeks.

Ecuador will soon be ready for a greater business with the world and fo* the tourist Guayaquil, the conn try's chief port. Is now undergoing a thorough sanitating.

'A few tourists have used the ' new railway "along the roof of the world" and vis ited the Interesting old city. Guayaquil lies up the Guayas river 00 miles from the ocean, so the average ship passenger does not even secure a passing view of the second port of Im portance on the west coaßt of South America.
