Nurse Advises WEAK, RUN-DOWN WOMEN To Take Cardul "I have known of Cardui for nearly twenty-five years," says Mrs. Selma Meissner, 1072 Harrison Ave., Beaumont, Texas. "During that time, I have taken it several times and have frequently recommended it to others, for it is a splendid medicine and I am glad to give peo ple the benefit of my experience. "I have been a nurse for several years and have often come in con tact with patients who were run down and weak. Often I have told sufferers of Cardui, and the way I, myself, had been helped after tak ing it, and advised them to give it a trial. Many of them have since thanked me for what I told them, so I am willing that other women should know about it, too. "I first took Cardui because I was awfully run-down. I had no appe tite, and was weak and listless. It was hard to keep going under such conditions, and I looked for some thing which would help me. * "I had read of Cardui and decided to try it. After taking it, I improv ed so much that I have taken it since whenever I needed a tonic." Sold by all druggists. E _ Ja2 Used by Women # For Over 50 Year* 4 mMdrtort ky Rheumatism and Neuritis.

Hyland Co., Monterey, Va., July 15, 1860. | Dear Father and family: ! I once more take my pen in hand j to let you know how we are. We are ! (speaking of his two brothers, also jin service) well at this time, and I hope these few lines may find you j all well. j We have just come off of a long march. We were trying to get here ! to reinforce Colen Lee but we were i too late. His company was cut to J pieces and their arms taken from | them. We are going to throw up breast works. We only have about 3,000 men here, while the Yankees have about 5,000, however we will be reinforced today, they say, , When we left Richmond it took j f two trains to pull us. The boiler • j bursted on the train I was on and , we had to stay there all day, while ; j they went back and got two more i engines. It* took three engines to J | bring uti to the place where we be-' gun the march. j | 1 catt't write much to yoUf for | j when I think of you all I get so lonely. Father, I want you to write , to us as soon as you can and tell ; j all the rest as I have not heard from i any of you since I left home. Brother James said he never ex-' i pected to see home again. Well, he : can't meet with no other calculation ; j for we are in danger here, j I must close, as the boys are load-' , ing their guns to go two miles farth 'eron to meet the enemy, so I ' must load mine. I ask the prayers of my father and sisters. Tell Tildy and Patsy to pray for me and my brother. Good bye, L. W. GRIFFIN. I (Enclosed in the same envelope j was a brief note from Private James M.

COTTON PROJECTS 1 SHOW BIG PROFIT j Ellenboro Vocational Students Average $59.77 Net Profit Per Acre on Cotton Ellenboro, Jan. 23.—Twenty-five j cotton projects, 65 1-2 acres, con ducted by the Ellenboro agricultural students under the supervision of , the agricultural teacher as a part of • their last year's course in agricul r ture, yielded 29,944 pounds of lint I cotton which with the seed brought the boys $6,839.04. It cast 12,714,- sB6 to produce the crop and they made a net profit of $4,124.18 after subtracting all costs of seed, fertiliz er, labor at twenty cents per hour, ! land at SIO.OO per acre and interest jon the money invested in seed and I fertilizer at six per cent for a per ! iod of six months. An average net profit of seventy cents per hour was ■ made by the boys for each hour that j they worked in the white fleecy j fields last year. 1 The summary of their cotton pro jects, just prepared for the stale Department of Vocational Education, shows that the boys produced cotton ;at an average cost of $42.08 per acre and that they made an average j net profit per acre of $59.77. The I report also shows that the highest 1 yield per acre was 740 pounds of j lint and the lowest 290, the latter ! being made Cy a student who had a j ten acre project. The average yield I for the twenty-five projects has been i figured to be 456 pounds of lint cot- j ton per acre, and nine cents the cost of producing a pound. Most of the boys used 600 pounds' of either a 12-4-4 or a 10-4-2 ferti- j lizer, bedding 400 pounds and then | applying 200 pounds more at planting time with the seed. In addition a few of the students side-dressed with ni trate of soda and sulphate of ammon ia at a rate varying from seventy five to 150 pounds per acre just af ter chopping with increased yields and greater profits per acre. Each student of vocational agri-! culture is asked to do satisfactory supervised practice work at home before high school credit is allowed j for the course in agriculture studied j at the school. This requirement pro- j vides for the students "Earning while j they learn and learning while they earn" which is the slogan for voca tional agricultural education.
