McGUl, from thia place. "I was Terr weak and could not do any work. I tried different remedies, but they did me no good! One day, I got a bottle of Cardul. It did me so much good; I was surprised, and took some more. Before I took Cardul, I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think It la the greatest medicine on earth." In the past fifty years, thousands of ladles have written, like Mrs. McGIll, to tell of the benefit received from Cardul. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely indicates the great Talue of this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer? Test Cardul Is the medicine you need.

AN AESTHETIC WIDOW By M. QUAD Copyright, 1913. by Associated Lit erary Press. Mrs. Abigail Long body -was a woman living In the town of Farmdale. She was a widow. She was almost six feet tall and weighed nearly 200 pounds. The Widow Longbody had a female friend. over at Clover Hill, who hud become aesthetic. She saw beau ty in the dosplsed sunflower. She pnl pltated when she saw c.iti.lp crowing. She raised her eyes to heaven over burdocks and pigweeds. At the first go off the widow laughed about It, but when seriously informed that it was the thing to do she adopted it. Deacon Tracy, widower, bad been courting the widow and bad almost decided to pop the question. He had dropped in and whs Just clearing his throat to say something that the world has forever lost when she stopped him with: "Deacon, you look like a fright with those whiskers, and 1 hope you will have them hoed off before yon call again!" "Hoe off these 'ere whiskers!" he exclaimed In amaseinent "By gum, but do you know what you're talkln' abontr "Then for mercy's sake get them dyed! The color grates on me!" "I'd like to see myself feedln' dye ts them whiskers! Anything else on your mind?" "Von drag your legs when you wnlk!" "I do, eb? I remind you of an old knee sprung horse, do I ? Waal, 1 kin drug them legs right outer your house and take my whiskers with 'em!" ' Mr. Johnson, who bought butter and eggs and shipped them awny to the city, had also an eye on the widow Longbody. She always entertained him very pleasantly when be called, and be had begun to feel the rose of love blooming In lite heart. On what proved to lie his lust call the widow queried of id m : "Mr. Johnson, why don't yoti wear o wig?'' "A-a wig?" "Yes. a wig. Ton alwarn sit with your legs poked out like a paitr of posts. A man with such shanks as yours ought to bide 'em!" "I have been insulted, woman! I'll leave your bouse!" "And have your eyebrows thinned out!" was the widow's parting shot. In front of the widow Longbody's home ran a stream they wer pleased to call Plug river. A bridge across it bad long been needed and Calked of and the county finally voted it Every bridge in tbe country districts has always been painted red, If painted at all. It was red for this bridge. The widow was away for three days, and when she returned the bridge wj$ hall painted. 'Stop, stop! It cannot be! 1 thai: not be!" cried the aesthetic. "What's the kick?" nsked the mar. who had the work in charge. "It screams! It howls! It shrieks It murders harmony and kills the land scope! I could not live here it day with that red thing staring me In the face. TJghl" She was told that she would have tc endure it or move. Aestheticlsm was all right when applied to sunflowers and bull thistles, but when It came down to red bridges that wns a mat ter or business. "Oh. It is, eh?" was answered. "Well, there's another thing that is a matter of business." Along tbe western side of the tdWu the widow owned a strip of laud which had a hill on it a hill and a spring With her free consent the water was piped down from the spring to supply many families and used to sprinkle the streets. When they refused to change the color of tbe bridge tbe water re fused to flow downhill. The people howled, but they were helpless. After a week It was agreed that the aesthetic might name the color. She decided on a pearl gray. After a third of tbe bridge had been covered she changed It to vivid green. Then she wanted white with green trimmings. "No more fooling!" was the decision 'of tbe taxpayers when tbey realized that tbe widow Longbody might final ly demand that the bridge be covered with gold leaf. "Very well," replied tbe woman as she prepared her second surprise. Her husband bad opened a street for his own convenience and bad never deeded It to tbe town. People had bought sites and erected booses. Tbey suddenly fonnd themselves fenced in When they went to the lawyers the le gal talent bunted tbe matter up and replied: "If you touch tbe fence she can have yon arrested for trespass." Tbe town bated to be beaten by woman and was talking about a big lawsuit when along came a lightning rooVman. He wns n Jim dandy of a man He was a wooer from Wooervllle. H talked and he wooed and be won In a fortnight be had won the widow's heart and hand. When this fact was rumored the bridge committee cnlled on her to ask: "Well, what about the bridge?" "Paint It' any old color yoti w ant tor "And tlirt fem e across Klrby street?' "Tell 'em to tear It downl" "And rou- vou are no longer aes tbetic?" "Not by a darned sight! .Mm iind have already settled on corned bee nnd cnbbnsr for our bridal dinner. Bur ry ! had trouble with the town, hut you see I wsm living n water cnn-Kem all the time and trylug to be uic iwxi thing to aa angel." Those Kentucky heroes who saved 60 X) I arris of bourbon from the (taxi evidently do not believe in water for drowning sorrow. . The social worker who complaias that in Boston poodle dogs sell at 11,000 and babies at $10 probably never siw aay of those Boston babies.

The Milky way, or galaxy, is an ap parent ring extending entirely around tbe universe of stars visible In the largest telcope. It Is composed ol suns iu literal millions. They are so remote that, as seen from the earth tbey appear to bo close to each other while really they lire separated by millions and billions of miles.

In places these suns look by perspective ns though they were nr ranged In piles, heaps and banks or built up Into, colossal windows, or twisted into spirals, or dashed luto wisps and cosmic spray. In some places the concentration Is so great and dense that only tbe most power ful telescopes on entth can magnify enough to bring out details. A few clusters exist that have not so far been resolved Into these needle point And tbe height of human happiness Is to wntch these vast congeries of distant suns In a huge telescope.

STORE BURGLARS r L TWO ESTABLISHMENTS EN TERED BY MAROUDERS DURING PAST WEEK. Several robberies of ftores in the northern pait of th city during the past few days have lead the poilce to believe that here i; an organized gang of store break rs at work and every effort is being made to apprehend and placj th m behind the bars. Last Saturday night some one broke into the store conducted by W. P. Metts on Broad street. Fortunately for the owner of the store the mart;ders did not carry off any great quantity of gcods. Late Tuesday night or early yester day morning some me broke into A tastets store at rive points and it is belcived that thc thief r thieves entering Mr. Mctts' establishment arc the ones who broke into the former place. Entrance in Mr. Castct's store was gained through the rear door which was found unlocked and this leads to the belief that the marauders have leys and use them in gaining entrance tJ the places which they enter. So far as could be ascertained nothing was stolen at the latter place but a quantity of meat buc there was evidence that they had attempted to break into the safe. HOW WINTER lYrHIOD SPREAD. Thc typhoid rate she uld be dividi d in two parts thc winter rate, corr prising thc rate for December to May, inclusive and the summer rate, that of the remainder of the twelve months. The winter rate indicates how much filth gets into the water supply. The summer rate indicates how much filth gets into the entire food supply, in cluding the water. Freeman says: "We have learned by -ad experience the measure of typhoid lVsr in any community is the meas u: of the distribution of human filth 1.1 that community, and that the dis semination of human excrement will i e itably result in the spread of ty p 10 .i fever." I", the winter the conditions ror the s, re id of filth to other foods than wa- tcr are not good, bacilli that get nto off before they com: The few flies' stay The ew typhoid ho milk arc killed to the consumer. so close to the warm pla cs that hey do not carry infection, at least in cold climates. But the sewers empty their con ent into the water supplies d iring thc win.cr as well as during thc summer. The consensus of opinion is tha wa ter is about as dangerous in cold weath er as in warm. There may be local conditions that modify this rule in certain cities, but it is true as a rule. Therefore, the amount of winter ty phoid is prttty nearly a measure of the habitual and customary water pollution of a given community.
