THE WEATHER CALENDAR.
The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,
the manufacturers of Wine of
Cardui and Thedford’s Black
Draught, have just issued the
1904 edition of their Cardui
weather chart and calendar.
This calendar with its 13 sheets
, 13 x 20 inches in size makes a
bright ornament for the wall and
is a useful acquisition in any
home or office on account of its
displayed weather predictions.
The prominent numbers can be
read across a large room, as can
the colored signal flags showing
the weather conditions for each
day. These weather signals il
lustrate the forecasts of Prof.
Andrew J. DeVoe, who achieved
great prominence by his accurate
predictions of the great Galves
ton, St. Louis and Minnesota
storms and cyclones. So great
is the popularity of these predic
tions that they are printed in 2,
500,000 of these calendars and in
18,000,000 of the Ladies’ Birth
day Almanacs which are issued
by the Chattanooga Medicine
Company each year. We under
stand that a copy of this weather
;hartand calendar may be se
2ured by sending 10c in stamps
to the Chattanooga Medicine
Company, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Any of our readers who have not
secured a copy of the Ladies’
Birthday Almanac can get one by
sending their address to “Ladies’
Birthday Almanac,” Chattanoo
go, Tenn., or by calling on their
druggist.

Moral:-Wear Benjamin “Correct Clothes for LM

B
Hi
nprn A T TTTlMrt All Benjamin Clothes TJ
V^rL,1Z,11N Or are uniformiy per
—“fect because of the Me
Benjamin System of Specializing. Their 3,000 (Y|
tailors are divided into little groups, each of whom
produces but one portion of the garment. Day in Me
and day out the year round each artisan does but YJ
one thing, and that expertly. Therefore, when
the parts are assembled and the finished garment Me
given a final pressing, it is manifestly superior to {YJ
that of the average custom tailor who must make yf
the whole garment, and all kinds of garments. X#
If you could visit New York and go through yf
the three great Benjamin factories, it would be a *«£
revelation to you and a revolution of all your n
former ideas about ready-to-wear clothes. n

PINE BLUFF WILL
MAKE INVESTIGATION
Theatre Fires Now Have Terrors
for All the Small Towns
in Country.
Pine Bluff, Ark., Jan. 6.—At
a meeting of the city council
held Monday night measures
were taken to investigate the
condition of several public build
ings in the city, notably the new
Elks’ theatre, the Merrill Insti
tute and the two leading hotels
of the city.
Fire Chief Francis in his an
nual report recommended this
action and suggested that suit
able ordinances be passed. The
council, with the Chicago horror
in their minds, concurred with
him, and it was moved that the
city attorney be authorized to
draft such ordinances as would
cover the matter. At the next
meeting of the council the ordi
nance will be introduced and
doubtless adopted.

ppiHERE ARE MANY |
I I sickly women be
I E I tween the ages of j
45 and 55, but there are
very few invalids over 55
and 60 years of age. The 1
change of life coming to
a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes
I her an invalid or srives
her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health sel
dom live ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel
dom fails to liye on in happiness,
years after she has passed 60. This
is truly a critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,
Ohio, recognizes the change of life
as a dangerous period and she also
has faith in Wine of Cardui. She
writes:
“As I had always been troubled more
or less at the menstrual period, I dreaded
the change of life which was f
fast approaching. While vis
iting with a friend I noticed
that she was taking your
Wine of Cardui, and she was
so enthusiastic about it that I .
decided to try a bottle. I ex
perienced some relief the first
month, so 1 kept on taking it
for three months and now I
menstruate with no pain and
1 shall take it off and on now
until I have passed the climax. I do not
dread it now, as I am sure that your
Wine of Cardui will be of great benefit
at this time.” t
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to
re-inforce a woman against the shock
that comes with the change of life.
It re-establishes healthy functions
after years of suffering. In doing
this it has saved thousands of suf
ferers just in time. Do not wait
until suffering is upon you. Thor
ough preparations should be made
in advance. Begin the Wine of
Cardui treatment today.
