My mother had been a user of CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic and she knew what a good medicine it was for this troub le, so she told me to get some and take it. I sent to the store after it and before I had taken the first bottle up I began to improve. My side hurt less and I began to mend in health. I took four bottles in all during the last ten months. Cardui acted as a fine tonic. ..Iam well now. I have gained ten pounds and am still gaining. My sides do not trouble me at all and my . . . are quite regular.

(N. C. Christian Advocate.) Judge E. Yates Webb, that gifted son of North Carolina, whom her cit izens have ever delighted to honor, because he is so manifestly worthy of honor, was in Greensboro last week meting out justice to federal law breakers. Judge Webb holds the scales of justice in a sympathetic, but steady hand. The first offense, if the guilty party has been violating the federal liquor laws, is generally punished with a good stiff fine, but if the offen der ventures upon a second visit to the judgment seat of his honor, a prison sentence follows promptly and em phatically. Judge Webb, who attained so great eminence as a member of the house of representatives, is winning golden opinions as a federal judge in his native state. Funny Country. (From Charlotte Observer.) The town of Newark, N. J., appears to have been excited over wild stories coming: from one of the darkest sec tions of the Dark South about the con fiscation of the persons of two esteem ed citizens who had ventured their lives on an automobile tour into these dreadful regions, the aforesaid citi zens having been captured by moon shiners and tied out somewhere to be slowly starved to death. And nobody down here knew anything about it. But at the same time, the neighbor ing town of Jersey City was agitated over the activities of a Catholic priest who had mildly protested that it was a little too much that the saloons in that city be permitted to keep open after 12 o’clcok at night and on Sun day mornings. He had been trying to induce the police authorities to have the saloons closed to that extent, for the good of his people, and because this priest wanted a partial closing of the saloons, he was the recipient of a number of letters threatening his life. In one of these he was told that if he did not subside and let the sa loons alone, h-* “would not live to say Christmas mass.” Funnny country, this. A priest who protests against open saloons on Sunday, is going to say his Christmas mass in heaven, and a band of wicked moonshiners down in North Carolina are going to deprive two esteemed Jerseyites from the en joyment of their Christmas dram. They do not seem to have heard of Mr. Volstead up in New Jersey, Jazzing the Bible. (From the Baltimore Evening Sun.) For 300 years vast numbers of peo ple have drawn their religious and no little part of their literary inspiration from the King James version of the Bible. To have filled so important a place in human experience for so long a time ought and perhaps has so clearly established it to these many millions as the Bible that no other can supplant it. And yet that doesn’t seem to discourage presumptuous individ uals from persistent efforts to convert the chaste beauties of the King James version into present day speech. Dr. James Moffatt, of Scotland, is the latest to attempt the translation of the Bible into “modern” English. Advance notices indicate that phrase ology and terminology, hitherto a great hindrance to complete under standing in these days of comic strips, saxaphones and best sellers, have been reduced to the, intellectual possibili ties of the flappers and cowboys. So obscure a phrase as “The Garden of Eden,” for instance, has been made easy for modern intellects as “a park.” Perhaps in the next revised version there will be a parenthetical clause ex plaining that the term is not to be con fused with reservations for standing automobiles. Perhaps that is the most striking absurdity in all of Mr. Moffatt’s trans lation. It is to be hoped so. It may be that in some places he has achieved helpful simplicities. But the point of it is that the knowledge of the Bible which has been acquired through 300 years of familiarity with the King James version comes to naught if Doc tor Moffatt’s effort to substitute his own is successful. It becomes neces sary to begin all over again, interpret ing new phraseology and terminology, and perhaps theology, and it is ex tremely "doubtful if this learned Scot in his lone capacity could contribute anything to Biblical history and liter ature that would justify so tremen dous an upheaval. Soceity on the Slide. (From the Detroit News.) Words cannot describe the country’s agony at learning from one who signs herself or himself “Polly” that the second class, round, flight, covey, c> whatever it is called, of New York so ciety is going to the dingbats. This crowd, it seems, has waited patiently about, like Mary’s little lamb, on the doorsteps of the Rense laer Stuyvesants, hoping for an in vite; and getting it not^ihey have es» tablished salons of their own, and have not been so particular as to whom they invited to these parties. Instead of asking only the best artists authors and musicians, they have gone into the purlieus, even into Bo hentia, Greenwich Village, Flushing and Staten Island, and brought into their homes people who don’t amount to anything, who aren’t in the Blue Book, or even in Who’s Who. whose ancestors didn’t come over in the May flower, some of whom are suspected of having voted for La Follette. And these people, thus noticed, are so ig-( norant of good breeding that they eat and drink at these parties, and talk about Russia and other disgusting places. Thus they are corrupting New York’s society’s second ring, and un dermining the foundations of civiliza tion in the United States. “People are invited about in New ^ ork society far too promiscuously,’’ says Polly. Perhaps the same thing is trust in other cities. It is to be hoped that the publication of the in come tax lists will correct this ten dency. Soda-Pop for (hr Navy. (From the Brooklyn Eagle.) The nautical bottle of rum is to be restored to the United States navy in principle. SodR water and pop are once more to be permitted on Ameri can battleships. When Mr. Daniels banished liquor, he threw soft drinks overboard at the same time on the ground of their bulk. Mr. Wilbur pro poses to replace them. So our jolly tars, drenched with wintry seas, may refresh themselves aboard with a po tio of gingerale or a swizzle of birch beer. The magnificent silver punch bowls that now stand tarnighed and neglected in many a wardroom side- ] board may be brought out and brim-! med with sarsaparilla. Charged en- j thusiasm will know no restraint. Mr.] ,Wilbur is to be commended for his breadth of viewpoint and his sane ap proach to a great problem. The solemn announcement is made that govern ment experts have assured him our navy’s health will not be jeopardized. Friends and Enemies Agree. (From Asheville Times.) The New York Herald Tribune in discussing the $40,000,000 gift of Mr. •T. B. Duke declares sentcntiously: “North Carolina is fortunate in the richest of her sons.” Mr. Duke has not lacked for critics in his native state. He was very bit terly assailed in the days when his American Tobacco company was at the peak of its monopolistic power. Even in his later and more placid years he has not escaped attacks from newspa pers and individuals of North Car olina. The announcemnct of his munifi cent benefaction, however, places a new aspect upon the huge fortune which he has amassed during his life time. It makes his sharpest enemies discover in him virtues which they were unwilling to concede to him on other occasions. For it is a notable thing which Mr. Duke has done in setting aside the well nigh incredible sum of $40,000. 000 for philanthropic purposes. It stands without parallel both in magni tude and in careful planning in Southern benevolences. Those whohave been the freest with their criticisms of Mr. Duke’s money-getting methods are the first to concede a smuch. They join with his friends in celebrating his gift as a truly remarkable benefaction. Happenings Around Elizabeth Section (Special to The Star.)
