LITTLE HELEN MARTIN.
Little Helen Gould Martin, aged
five years, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Gus C. Martin, died
Wednesday afternoon at 4:3(
o’clock, after a very short illness.
She has always been troubled
with an affection of the heart,
but a case of pre imonia whicf
was only recognized as such thal
morning, made her conditior
dangerous.
The deceased leaves two little
brothers and one sister, togethei
with grief-stricken parents. Th<
services were held at the horm
on Elm street Thursday after
noon at 2:30 o’clock, conducts
by Rev. C. Pope, the burial fol
lowing at Walnut Grove ceme-i
tery.
Called to a heavenly home in j
her childish innocence to be num
bered among the angels is the
consummation of this young life,
and while her taking away can
not be regarded with other feel- j
ing than grief by those to whom
she was dear, to whom her life
was as a bubbling spring of hap
piness and purity, there must
come consolation in the thought
that none of the world’s bitter
ness or sorrows will ever have
passed her lips. To the parents
who are bowed in sorrow over
the breaking of this link in the
family chain, is extended the
sympathy of our people.
CAMPAIGN WARMS UP.
The county campaign is liven-;
ing up as the date of the primary j
draw's nearer. Another candi-:
date for county clerk has offered ;
himself to the consideration of
the voters in the person of G. A.
Lockard, the present efficient
deputy under Mr. E. E. Boyce.
Hardly a man in Jackson county
is better or more favorably known
than Mr. Lockard, whose friends
will rally to his support. He is
a very competent man and would
make an excellent and accom
modating official.
Judge Otis W. Scarborough
announces his candidacy for
county judge in this issue, sub
ject to the primary election. As
a judge he has ever been a very
conscientious official and his broad
knowledge of the law qualifies
him to handle the questions of
that office with unusual ability.
His record in looking after the
finances of the county will stand
him in good stead as a candidate,
as well as his work for public im
provements in the way of good
roads and bridges.

MISS MAY MARKELL, j
A Society Belle of London, Canada. i
r m!iss may m arkell
pi of London, Ontario,
L!_zJ Canada, is a beauti
ful girl who knows what
suffering is and Wine of
Cardui has brought her back
to health. She is one of the
social favorites of her home
and her recovery to health
has permitted her to enjoy
the company of her many
friends instead of lvinrr nn
a bed of sickness and suffering. For
the health she now enjoys she gives
credit to Wine of Cardui. She writes:
“I have found Wine of Cardui an excel
lent remedy for female trouble. I suffered
for three years with terrible bearing-down
pains at the menstrual period. I could
hardly stand on my feet and was never
real well. Wine of Cardui was the only
medicine that I could depend on to do me
any good, as I tried several with no suc
cess. Wine of Cardui cured me and I
have now enjoyed perfect health for two
years, and give you all the credit for I
know you deserve it,’*
For a young girl Wine of Cardui is
the best remedy to guide her through
womanhood by starting the menstrual
flow in a healthy and nat
ural manner. Menstruation
started right is very easy to
keep regular through the
years of mature womanhood.
Then the “change of life”
need not be feared. Thu*
Wine of Cardui is woman's
best relief from youth to
old age. A million women
have secured blessed relief
from their sufferings by tak
ing this treatment. It relieves men
strual troubles in an incredibly short
time. In a simple case of deranged
menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To
relieve disordered menses is to remove
the cause of other female troubles. A ny
physician will tell you that to remove
the cause of a disease renders the cure
easy, in fact seldom fails to complete
the cure. If you would have the same
relief which Miss Marked secured try
Wine of Cardui. You can take it with
out an examination and without any
publicity whatever. You can take it in
the privacy of your home and secure
just as much benefit as if a doctor had
prescribed it for you. Thousands of wo
men are feeling the vigor of returning
health by taking Wine of Cardui.

qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the ,
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal. , .
