HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
has a responsible position in
the Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func

organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
men known to the science of medicine.

advice by just buying a $1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri

enough to lead you to determine to be

“I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am

PINE BLUFF SUFFERS
SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION.
u -
Plant of Sawyer and Austin
Lumber Company Burned
to the Ground.
Pine Bluff, Sept. 15.—Con
servative estimates place the loss
on the plant of the Sawyer &
Austin Lumber Company, which
was destroyed by fire last night,
at $121,000, with insurance on
the parts of the plant destroyed
and damaged at $160,000. The
loss to Pine Bluff will be keenly
felt, because the Sawyer & Aus
tin Company employed hundreds
of men and distributed some
thing like $20,000 per week in
the city. This was the largest
mill in the state and one of the
largest in the south.
The fire smouldered through
the night, but the damage is not
so great as was at first supposed.
The machine shops on the north
end were damaged but slightly,
while tne box factory, at the ex
treme western end, was not
reached by the flames. This was
one of the most valuable build
ings on the grounds, and its loss
would have cost many thousands
of dollars.
J. H. McMillan, general mana-!
ger of the company, is expected
to arrive in the city tomorrow
and at that time information as
to whether or not the plant will
be rebuilt in the city will be giv
en out.
School time again. The boy
must have a new pair of pants or
suit. See the big assortment at

No Matter What Doc
tors Say—We Know
That Heart Trou
ble in Many
Cases Can Be
Cured.
There are seven main features of
heart disease, viz.: (1) Weakness or
Debility; (2) Rheumatism or Neuralgia;
(1) Valvular Disorder; (4) Dilation;
(5) Enlargement; (6) Fatty Degenera
tion; (7) Dropsy.
Documentary evidence will prove
thousands of so-called ‘‘Incurables” have
been absolutely cured by Dr. Miles'
New Heart Cure.
Patients often have no idea their dis
ease is heart trouble, but ascribe It to
Indigestion, Liver Complaint, etc.
Here are some of the symptoms:
Shortness of breath after exercise.
Smothering Spells. Pain in Chest, left
Shoulder and arm. Discomfort in Lying
on one side. Fainting Spells. Nervous
Cough. Swelling of Feet and Ankles.
Paleness of Face and Lips. Palpitation.
Nightmare. Irregular Pulse.
“I have great faith in Dr. Miles* New
Heart Cure, and speak of its merits
whenever opportunity presents. I can
now go up and down stairs with ease,
where three weeks ago I could hardly
walk one block.” One year later.—‘‘I
am still in good health; the Heart Cure
did so much for me, that I find It a far
greater medicine than you claimed It
to be.”—S. D. YOUNG. D. D., 697 North

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second.i Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre- /
tense), but out of the few whe have nearly reacled the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect ’musical scales is Idisplayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who canilot sing correctly—It’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the (voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball J5«ale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output ,
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kinib Jll at a very moderate price, quality considered
