"About twenty years
ago, my health was
very bad,” says Mrs.
Mat Howard, of Ter
rell, Texas. ”I was
passing through a
critical time in my life,
and I suffered a great
deaL I was not at all
strong, and my nerves
got all upset. I had
hot flashes, and some
times would get suddenly so
^ faint I could not stand up. My
head would whirl, and I could
\ not see a thing. I would have to
^ lie down for hours at a time.
"I improved so much after .1
had taken Cardui for a while. I
\ continued the medicine for some
months, until I had passed the
critical period. Since then, I
have given Cardui to my five
^ daughters. All of ^em have
continued the use of Cardui in
A their homes. We have all been
^ better for having taken it.**

woman of rare, bronze beauty her

Invention That Would
Dispel Fogs Awaited
No practical way has as yet been
found for dispelling fogs, declare
weather bureau meteorologists. Many
schemes have been advanced for the
artificial dissipation of fog, but the
places that have always been notori
ous for the thickness of their atmos
phere still have their murk.
Shortly before the World war the
city of Lyons, France, voted money
for preventing the formation of fog
in that city by coating the Rivers
Rhone and Saone with oil. About the
same time the Cottrell process of elec
trical precipitation, which is success
fully applied in treating industrial
dusts and fumes, was tried on the
fogs of the California coast, but noth
ing seems to have resulted. The na
val aircraft factory at Philadelphia
has tried to eliminate mists by means
of electrified sprays, but no tangible
results have been announced. Schemes
for draining off fog-laden air from fly
ing fields and for warming the air
over such places and thus causing the
fog to evaporate have been" investi
gated and found impracticable.
On a small scale and in favorable
circumstances fog can be dispelled,
say the meteorologists, but all known
methods are too costly for commercial
Tamed Ground Squirrel
Makes Good as Mouser
A golden-mantled ground squirrel,
tamed by rangers at the Dunraven
Pa.ss station. In Yellowstone National
park, not only made at excellent pet,
but also took upon himself the duties
of mouser. At first considerable local
comment was caused by the fact that
that squirrel, known as Chippie, had
caught a mouse, but Ernest Thompson '
Seton, well-known naturalist, states i
that this species of squirrel, which is
really a rodent. Is in the habit of {
catching field mice. Therefore thei
step to catching a mouse indoors was
not such a long one for Chippie. j
Chii»pie made a great hit with the (

Old Connecticut House
Built in 1639 by Henry Whitfield
and a small group of his followers
who settled in what is now Guilford.
Conn., the “Old Stone House” stands
today as a monument of substantial
construction.
Its foundation was laid only 1J>
years after the Pilgrims landed in
Plymouth. Its walls are two feet
thick. Its main cMmney is 16 feet
across and is built into the wall it
self. The fireplace Inside was sc large

the front door, «!ince altered and
made smaller, and out the rear, drag

cording to the town records, used 40
cords of wood each winter.

Rhode*’ Prediction
In “Rhodes’ Ail Red Route,” by Lewis
R. Freeman, this statement is attrib
uted to Rhodes upon his first visit to
Victoria falls: “Do you know that
the natives claim that they can see far
into the future by looking into the
j depths of that big rainbow? ... 1 j
! can see two lines of shining steel run- |
ning from one end of Africa to the j
other ... all the way from Cape j
Town to the Mediterranean. ... Do
you see that bar of red?” (Then the
rainbow glowed a dusky rose where
the light of the setting sun struck
there the smoke of smoldering veldt
fires), “That means It’s going to b»
an ‘All Red’ railway; that it will run
in British territory all the way.”

Many feel themselves very confi
dently on safe ground when they say:
It^must be good for man to know
the truth. But It Is clearly not good
for a particular man to know some
particular truth, as irremediable
treachery In one whom he cherishes—
better that he should die without

not conceivable that some facts as to
the tendency of things affecting the

Health Hint
Carbolic acid poisoning Is perhaps
the commonest of all poisonings. A
half ounce of sulphate of soda In a
glass of warm water should be given
as quickly as possible and a physi
cian called. Afterward, vomiting
should be induced.
