SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Five Years’
Stalling, Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
live years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo- 1
man’s tonic, nd 1 decided to try it. I
had not taken out about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did me more !
good than all the other medicines I had '
fried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and 1 tola them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.” j
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache.
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you, I
just as it has a million other women in 1
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You'
won’t regret it. All druggists.

HINKS INVIGORATION IS IN AIR
/niter's Explanation of Vita! Differ
ence Between tn« Londoner
and the New Yorker.
_ "The difference between New
i ork and London," a man once said
o me, “Is this: In New York, if you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ied out at once; in London, if you
have a new idea, you are up against
a brick wall.”
I believe this to be true, writes
Maurice Raring tn the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
In general, are not afraid of new
ideas, nor, indeed, of anything new-.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England, if a man finds for instance,
that his profession is uncongenial to
him, however certain he may be of
the impossibility of his making a suc
cess of it, he will none the less very
rarely give it up, and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America a rnan will think
nothing of throwing up his profession
twenty times running, until he finds
something which does suit him.
i think the cause of this particular
difference liea in the climate of Amer
ica, and especially lies in the climate
of New York. Just as the climate of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do noth
ing, with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, in the same way the climate
of New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to bo up and about..
It is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates, in the deni
zen of New York, the love of bustle,
hurry competition and work I am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing—I am merely noting
and recording what struck mo aa be
ing the main differences between New
York and London.

Will Have Opportunity to Cash
Hubby's Check Again.
"Henry,” aald Mrs. Crabbe, “don’t
you never give me another check to

this, please.”
"Why, what was the matter with the
check?"
"Nothing was wrong with the check,
but the cashier didn't want to take it,
and said I had to be I. entifled I told
him my name was Mrs. Crabbe, and
asked him if he didn’t see it on the
long line, but he just shook his head,
and said I had to And some one who
knew me."
“And who did you And?"
“No one. I asked him If ha didn't
know' you.”
“What did he say?” asked Mr.
Crabbe, eagerly, but with modesty.
“He said, Of course I know him'"
“And then he cashed it," said Mr.
Crabbe, his cheat expanding visibly.
“Not right then. He asked me to de
scribe you.”
“Of course that was sufficient?"
“Yes. I told him you were *

tache and a mole on your nose. That
you wore a fifteen collar and a ten

As Koreans Shop.
Shopping In Korea Is a very grave
and solemn task and oc^ples the mas
ter of the house the greater part of
the day. In the market here he pur
chases his provisions, cooking utensils,
linen Butts, hats, sandals, tobacco, and
the native drink, a liquor obtained
from fermented rice.
Only one article of the same kind Is
purchased from a single store. It
would be an offense against Korean
etiquette to buy a dozen at a time, as
this would deplete the stock too quick
ly and give the shopkeeper the trou
ble and work of restocking before he
was ready! It will therefore be seem
that wholesale orders are not wel
somed In this odd country; “little and
often” appears to be the golden rale
la buying.—Wide World Magaslaa.
Pour Perfect Women.
The prophet Mahomet la reported
to have said that “among men there
have been many perfect, bat not
more then foar of the other sex have
attained perfection—to wit: Allah.
Mary. Khadljah and Fatima.” Allah
was the wife of the Pharaoh of the
Bxodua. She forsook the faith of her
fathers, on account of which her hus
band subjected her to many cruelties.
The Virgin Mary was the second
perfect woman, the prophet stating
chat “she had been exalted above all
the women of the world.” Khadljah
was the first wife of the prophet, "a
princess among women.” Fatima, ac
cording to Mahomet, was the fourth
perfect woman, she being his beloved
laughter.
Evidently Ready for Him.
A gentleman who had been In town
pnly three days, but who had been
paying attention to a prominent belle,
wanted to propose, but was afraid he
would be thought too hasty. He deli
cately broached the subject as fol
ows:
“If I were to speak to you of mar
■lage, after having only made your
icquaintance three days ago, what
would you say to it?”
“Well, I should say never put off
ill tomorrow that which you should
iave done the day before yesterday."

Monday afternoon in honor of

farmer's School
for Newport
During Week Beginning March
2. Conducted By Department
of l diversity.
1 have just arranged for a
farmer’s school to held at New
port during the week beginning
March 2nd. This school will be
conducted by the extension de
partment of the University of
Arkansas and they will be
here to lecture for us and to an
swer any questions for us and
to teach us. a part of the facul
ty of the colege. The school will
last a week and no farmer or
farmer's wife or anybody .fo is
interested in any kind of farm
ing in any way, should miss a
-■ingle one of these lectures. The
meeting is for you, and you
should get the good of it. There
will be plently of room at the
school for everybody and it will
cost you absolutely nothing to
attend and we want you there.
The place of meeting will he an
nounced some time later.
It was necessary to pay the
expenses of these men while
they are with us, but the busi
men of the town very willingly
contributed the amount necessa
ry for this expense. So the
school is entirely free to the far
mers.

Side Lines For Farmer.
Every farm should have some
fruit trees. Most every sec
tion of Arkansas will grow' ap
ples and peaches. Not all kinds
of apples will grow in parts of
the state, but care in selection
will enable you to have apples
for home use. Peaches do well
in most parts. Grapes grow
well in every county in Arkan
sas if you get th'e right variety.
A few fruit trees on the farm
will help out in making a living
at home. A few fruit trees, a
good cow, a good garden, a few
hens, a good brood sow, a grape
vine, gourd vine and a package
I of pumkin seed to plant in the
corn will go a long ways to
wards a living on the farm. A
row of pop corn for the chil
dren and a patch of peanuts and
watermelons thrown in for good
measure would make things bet
ter. Speaking of fruit trees re-1
minds us that now is the time
to look after orchards. Prune
them up and get the ground
clean, and ready for plowing.
The time to begin spraying
the apple trees will soon be
here. If you haven’t a spray,
it is well to get one. There are
plenty on the market. Some are
hand use and some for power.
Be prepared in time. You will
make money by spraying. It
will bring you better fruit, and
save your orchard. You cannot
have high-grade fruit unless you
spray. Of course the orchard
ist is up witn tne times, and
knows the necessity of spraying
and caring for the orchard. The
meeting of the Horticultural
Society at Fort Smith this week
is of great value to all who are
able to attend.
The recent freezes of the
ground have been good for farm
land. They loosen the soil and
put it in better condition, and
kill out some of the insect life
that is hurtful to the crops.
Deep freezing in a measure
takes the place of deep plowing.
Get ready to put in your
spring oats. Prepare a good
seed bed and have your land in
first-class condition when you
plant your corn. It will take
less work to cultivate the crop,
and besides you will make more.
Look carefully after the young
pigs. Prepare for them, so
they will not freeze. Feed the
sow on light mzl
