WOMAN WON
Her Health and Strength Back
Again by The Use of CarduL
Tampa, Fla.—ln a letter from thl>
city, Mrs. K. C. Corum writes: "I was
all weakened and worn out with wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some (ardul as a tonic, and, from
the first day. It seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardul, I did not. Soon, I
felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy Is wonderful. I
recommend It to my friends, for I have
received great benefit from It."
Cardul acta specifically on the weak
•ned womanly organs, strengthening
the muacles and nerves, nnd building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the worn-out ner
vous system and relieves the effects of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years' successful u«e fully
prove the merit of this purely vege
table, tonio remedy for women.
In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardul.
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves In many different ways.

BgiigS
"LUCK" IN RAISING CHICKENS.
! Why So Many Fail In the Poultry
Business—Easy To Raise Chick
ens With Proper Attention.
, Messrs. Editors : One Sun
day last spring. I spent the
aay with a friend of mine on
his farm near Memphis. He is
a dairy farmer and is making
lots of money on milk and cream
and hogs and his land is grow
ing richer and more valuable
every dav.
While eating dinner I asked
his Rood mother what success
she had had with her chickens,
and her reply was: "Oh, I've
had mighty bad luck: it's been
mighty wet, and the rats have,
killed dozens of them. I'm
half way disgusted with chick-1
ens, and am not going to fool
with them any more." Being
a guest in her home, I offered
no advice or criticism, but I
felt sure that it was not the
fault of the chickens. Later in ;
the afternoon I strolled out into i
the back yard. This yard slop- 1
ed to a low. flat place and
down in the corner I saw the
hen-house. I walked over to it |
and in doing so my shoes were
wet to the top from the heavy
dew still remaining in the weeds,
grass and plantain. I said to,
myself, "poor little chicks, no|
wonder you die, wading through
this cold, wet grass." I opened
the door of the hen-house, and
the sight that met my eyes was
sickening. The roosts, floor
and box nests were piled high
1 with droppings, the floor was
cold and damp, and the house
was full of cracks large enough
to stick your hand through. The
odor was enough to make a per
son sick. I stood in the door
a moment, wondering how any
body could be so negligent and
downright cruel to good, faith
ful Old Biddy. Suddenly I
felt a peculiar crawling sensa
tion and upon looking found my
self literally alive with mites.
My shoes were full of them and
they were crawling up my legs.
My arm, where I was leaning
against the door, had millions of
mites on it. I am sure that I
did not stand there two minutes
before I felt the lice crawling on
me.
This will give you some idea
oi" the condition of the hen
house It was alive with lice
and disgustingly dirty.
Late that evening I went out
to the well to get a drink, and
saw the negro cook come to
the edge of the back porch and
throw a lot of crumbs, potato
peels and refuse from the table
out into the yard. This was
after all the chickens had gone
to roost.
Isn't it safe to say the rats
gloried in this fare. ?
Folks can talk all they want
to about "luck" in raising chick
ens, but I contend that bad luck
comes from downright shiftless
ness and inattention.
Chickens are easy to raise if
given a decent show. A warm,
well-ventilated house, kept clean,
free of drafts and open to sun
shine is very important, but it
need not be expensive. Plenty
of good, wholesome feed and
fresh, clean water are absolutely
necessary.
Rats are bad because they are
fed and actually supported. If
starved out by keeping the yards
clean and the cribs tight, they
can not thrive. They must have
food. Take it away and they
will leave.
Am I not right, , therefore, in
contending that there is no
such thing as "luck" in poultry
raising ? If not, why is it you
1 can find dozens and dozens of
folks who are making a success
of it ? I know one man who
raises 90 per cent of his chicks.
One thing is sure : The
owner who lets the little chicks
follow the mother in the wet
weeds and grass; who allows his
I hen-house to become filthy and
lousy: who lets the cook feed
rats at the kitchen door, and
who builds his house on a low,
wet place is always goinx to
have "bad luck."
