Vice In the Movies.
In their efforts to suppress
ihe nauseous “white slave” mov
ing pictures, which are inflicted
daily on the public in a score of
cities, the authorities have the
(support of all healthy minded
citizens.
The exhibitions do no possi
ble good; they can do no good.
On the contrary they are the
source of no small amount of
positive evil. j
The scenes displayed must in
hundreds of cases be the cause
of dangerous stimulation to
weak natures, to the young, to
the innocent, most of all to per-.
sons with natural leanings to
ward vice.
In hundreds of cases where
this particular effect is lacking
the conditions pictured tend to
undermine those feelings of
trust and confidence in human
destiny which are the essence of
social life. This is the greatest
of all evils; it is the deadly sin
known to the church people as
“giving scandal,” that is, des
troying faith in the truth and
goodness inherent in humanity
and pervading the social order.
Against these evils the very
doubtful advantage of warning'
the young against perils suppos- [
ed to beset them cannot be plead- [
ed with success. Indeed, in many
cases it may be said that arous- '
ing the mind to possible danger
is the surest way of creating!
the danger itself.
Of course, the titillation of the
public appetite for amusement
with a fresh moral tidbit—with
incidental profit to the box office
—is a consideration wholly to
be disregarded.
No, there is no valid argument
for depravity in the films.—

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women*
Hines, Ala.—“I must confess”, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, “that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before I commenced using Cardui, I
would spit up everything I ate. I had a
tired, sleepy feeling all tne time, and was
irregular. I could hardly drag; around,
and would have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, I have entirely
quit spitting up what I eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.”
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs backtohealtb
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won’t regret it Your druggist sells it

E. Ayers, 6 Sabin
St., Monfpviicr,
Vt„ s.-ys:
"1 was afflicted
with constipation
and biliousness tor
ta.-s. a..d at times became so bad 1
ould become unconscious. I have b»en
ound in that condition many time*,
’nysiclans did not seem to he able *o
!o me any good. I would become
Teak and for days at a time could do
10 work. Not long ago I got a box
>f Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and
ft«r using them found I had nevor
neU anything that aoted In auch a
i!d and effective manner. I believe
have at last found the remedy that
■■tilts my case.”
1 housands of people are sufferers
rom habitual constipation and
vhile possibly realizing something
•f the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper
curative measures until serious ill
ness often results. The advice of
all physicians is, “keep your bowels
clean,” and it’s good advice.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at as cents a
box containing 25 doses. If not
•‘ound satisfactory, your money is
returned.
