was said. Pointing out the economic
c iTects Mr. White said statistics show
that the tenancy syste'm tends to rob
the soil of its fertility without replac
ing; it; nial; ... necessary a one-cr<*p
ystum; necessitates farming on a
siaull seal", with antiquated methods
instead of (he best type of improved
machinery; results in small yield per
fariper and a great lack of diversity;
results in the inability of the tenant
farmer to accumulate wealth.
The principal social effects, he said,
are a natural detriment to intellectual
development; small school attendance
by children of tenants; the constant
migration of.tenants; the jajnstant
mitrrBj^en of tenants from one com
munity to another; Hindrance to mor
! development as the result of low
church membership and attendance;
the <h velupment of u class conscious

organizations of all kinds, such ar.
churches, -schools, community clubs;

"I was weak and nervous
and run-down," writes Mrs.
Edith tellers, of 466 N..21st
St., East St. Louis, Ilf. “I
couldn’t sleep nights. I was so
restless. I felt tired and not
in condition to do my work.
I would have such pains in
my stomach that I was afraid
I would get down in bod. . .
My mother came to seo me
and suggested that I use
I felt better after my first
bottle. I bad a better appe
tite. It seemed to strengthen
and build me up. I am so
glad to recommend Cardui
for what it did for me. I
haven't needed any medicine
since 1 took Cardui, and I am
feeling fine.”
Nervousness, restlessness,
sleeplessness—t hose symp
toms so often are the result
of a weak, run-down condi
tion, and may develop more
seriously if not treated la
time.
If you are nervous and
run-down, or suffering from
some womanly weakness,'
