HALF
HEARTED
Never Felt Well
"I don't see why women will
drag around, in a half-hearted
way, never feeling well, barely
able to drag, when Cardui might
help put them on their feet, as it
did me," says Mrs. Geo. S. Hunter,
of Columbus, Ga.
"I suffered with dreadful pains
in my sides. I had to go to bed
and stay sometimes two weeks.
"I could not work, and just
dragged around the house.
W I got very thin. I went from
a hundred and twenty-six pounds
down to less than a hundred.
W I sent to the store for Cardui,
and before I had taken the first
bottle I began to improve. My
side hurt less, and I began to
mend in health.
"Cardui acted as a fine tonic. I
do not feel like the same person.
I am well now, and still gaining.'*

GREEKS USED BUTTONS ON
ARMOR
Washington, Oct. 18.—Autocaster)
—Kate McK. Elderkin of Princeton,
N. J., has reported to the Archaelog
ical Institute of American that the
old Greeks and Romans used buttons
instead of buckles on their armor to
fasten the shoulder straps to the
cuirass. Cords and leather thongs,
wrapped around the buttons and tied,
were often substituted for button
holes.
The buttons themselves had a
central hole and were held in place
by knotted string or cord.

injured Wednesday morning while on
his way to Hendersonville, when the
steering gear of his car locked while

Mr. Shytles sustained several injur

taken out by passing motorists who
hurried him to the hospital. An ex
amination there revealed that he was
seriously injured, although his in
