BACKACHE Mississippi Lady Benefited by Taking Cardui. "I took Cardui for backache and a weakened, run-down condition, and it strengthened and helped me," says Mrs. Mattie Kurt, of Coldwater, Miss. "Before the birth of my children, when weak and nauseated, I took Cardui. Alter ihe birth of my children, when tust getting up to do my work, I took a couple of bottles of Cardui and it never failed to strengthen and help me when tak ing it. T'l seemed to enjoy my food and my back would feel stronger. I don't believe i could have kept going had it not been for Cardui and the strength it gave me. "When change of life came on I ... got down in bed. Life seemed to be just a terrible drag. I did nothave strength foranything. My back hurt. My limbs hurt. 1 was io nervous I couldn't rest. "1 knew what Cardui had done, so sent straight for it, and it did just as it had done bsforp strengthen ed and built me up."

Poland's recent vehement protest ifjninst uny move toward a readjust ment of the Pollsli-Uerman frontier Is nsily explained by the old adaue, "A urnt child dreads the fire." The lust Inie Poland's boundaries were tam pered with they were "readjusted" so radically that the country lont; one of he most powerful kingdoms In Burope was wiped out of existence for near 'y n century nnd a quarter I5ut Poland's spirit did not die while its territory and Its people were di vided among Russia, Austria and Ger many. Generations of the sternest repression ever practiced upon any people still left the Pole with hla heart set on the one desire of his life Po land restored. In spite of the efforts of three of the world's most powerful governments to ussimllHte them and to incorporate them Into their own bodies politic, 20,000,000 Poles hoped and longed for and dreamed of the day whi-n their country should resurrect itself and make Itself a vltul force In the civilization of the future. That irreat day came for Poland after the World war when the grenter part of Its old territory was gathered to gether and the republic of Poland was created, becoming the sixth nation of Europe both In area and population. In size the old Poland, before the partition, outranked nearly every na tion of the continent. P.e8ore the World war Itusslu alone of the Euro pean nations was larger than Poland was t her greatest. In population she stood at the forefront of Europe. Un partltltmed Poland had an area of 2S2,- (XX) square miles, and the lands that once lay within her boundaries now support a population of approximately ."0.OOO,(HHX In urea she was larger than Great Ilritain, Italy, and Greece combined. Poland wn three times partitioned, and these partitlonings were read- usled betwevn ihe imrtitlwoers by the congress of V lenn.i in Iblm Wher? the or glnal partitions had! given Rus sia l.Sl.OtiO srriiure mile. Prussia 54, ! 000 square miles and AustHu 45,000 j square mllesv ibe reapportionment of the Vienna eviteress gnve Russia 220,- ! r,00, Prussia 2t!,K), and AuMrin 35,000 square miles. Poland, in the days of tier greatest area, extended from a point within 50 miles of Berlin, on the wvst, to the meridian of the Sea of A on the eust ; on the mirth it reached nearly to the Gulf of Finland and m the south down to the Khanate of Crimea. In those days, Warsaw, next to Paris, was the most brilliant city in Enrope. Suffered Repression. The Poles who came nnder the gov ernment of the three partitioning pow ers, suffered repression in varying de grees. For a long time the Poles In Russia were forbidden even to use their native tongue. Even the railway employees could not answer questions asked In Polish. The word "Polish" Itself could not be nsed In the news papers. For a while no letter could be addressed In Polish. The national dress was forbidden, even us a carnival costume or in his torical dramas In the theater. The coat of arms of Poland had to be erased from every old house and from the frame of every old picture. The tfinghig of the national songs was strictly taboo. Germany tried In every possible way to transform her Poles Into Germans. It used the Russian tactics In quench 'ng the fire of their nationalism, but with no better success than Russia had. There were laws forbidding the use nf Polish In public meetings, and Polish children whi. refused to answer the catechism In German were pun ished, i , Austria never treated her Poles as the Russians and the Prussians treated theirs. Where those countries sought io destroy the splrl of Polish national ism, holding it to be a perpetual menace to Russian and Prussian Insti tutions, Austria proceeded npon the theory that this spirit, carefully di rected, became morel a source of strength to the government than a source of weakness. So the Poles of Austri.i were as free to sing their na tional songs as the people of our own South are free to sing Dixie. They were as much at liberty to glorify their past and to speak their native toi.iie us thcngh they were free aad inde pendent. Except that they mcv. pay fceir tuxes to Austria and serve in Austria's army, tliey were practically self-governing. In (iallcln, a port of former Austrian Poland, are many of the world's most famous salt mines. Those at WIellczka have been worked for nearly seven centuries, at one time being a prin cipal source of revenue for the Polish kings. Railroads are not permitted to run near them lest their vibrations re sult In cave-Ins. Within these mines are labyrinths of salt-hewn streets and alleys, lined with pillared churches, staircases, restaurants. shrines, and monuments. There are little lakes In the mines, sometimes 30 feet deep, which are nav igated by ferryboats. Their Lot Not Easy. The lot of the Polish peasant even In the New Poland is not an easy one. His food Is simple. If not pour. His whole family must toil from the hour that the sun peeps over the eastern horizon to the hour when twilight falls into dusk. There Is much drudgery for the women. Before the war it was not uncom mon to see them working las section hands on mac, of the railroads, and they are reputed to have made good ones. It was not exceptional to sew them carrying mortar for bricklayers' and plasterers or to find them painting or hanging paper In the cities. Old Poland was sort of "Royal re public" of landowners, In which the serf did not count. The man who owned land, or whose ancestors owned land, was a .iolh. He might match poverty for poorness, he might not have a single sole between his feet and the ground, he might have only a rusty old sword to tie to his girdle, and only a piebald blind' borse to drive, and that a hired one, brat he still was a noble If ownership of land had ever set Its approving stamp upon him. With him the peusttots were as but worms of the dust. The Russian noble was proud of his peasant the German noble was proud of hlsv .ind the Aus trian noble had nought bnt words of praise for his; but th Polish noble was Iw,t Proud of his, In the New Poland the machinery has Hwen created for ranch more popular government. Pbtand Is now a constitutional republic with universal suffrage and proportional representa tion. There Is a two-chamber parlia ment consisting of a senate and a house The president I elected by the parliament for a seveo-jeur term, and appoints a cabinet responsible to par liament. ' Many Great Men. PeiMtd has contributed u long list of great and near great to civilization. It was Copernicus, a Ptoie. who first taught that the sun Is the center of the solar system and laid the founda tions of modern astronomy. It was Johtt Sobieski who saved Europe from the Turks as Charles Mart el hammered it out of the grasp ot the Saracens. Kosciuszko and Pulaski served th cause of freedom both In Europe nnd America. The "Quo Vadis" of Sienkie wlcx will never be forgotten as long as. literature and history are appreciated by man. The music of Puderewskl en titles him to a place among the Im mortals, and the histrionic art of Mid Jeska gave her a foremost place in the history of the stae. The compositions of Chopin, a Pole by birth, though a Frenchman by education, will float down through the corridor of time along with those of Wagner, Beethoven, Handel, Verdi, and the other masters. From the days of Kosciuszko down to the present, Poles have been no mean contributors to American civili zation. Leopold Julian Boeck Is cred ited with having led the movement for the establishment of the nrst poly technic institution In the United States. Four million Poles have come to the shores of America, and our Pol'. Im migrant population living today ranges around 3.000,000. It Is said that If the people of Polish ancestry In the United . States were massed together they could practically duplicate the population of New England. In Penn sylvania one Inhubltant out of every twelve has Polish blood in his veins; in New York one out of fourteen, and in Massachusetts one out of ten. Chicago Is said to have more Poles In It than any other city in the world except Warsaw and possibly Lodz. Cleveland has more than 40.000 Polish residents, yet New York. Pit?sb.-gh, Philadelphia. Buffalo. Milwaukee, and hetroit all have Polish f !s larger than Cleveland's. i A Friend of Man "There are hermit souls that live withdrawn, In the place of their self content; There are souls like stars, that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where the highways never ran But let me live by the side of the road ' ; And be a friend to man."
