Big Bubbles Pricked.
The New York Times says of
the Claflin company’s failure
that “it is a house of cards which
has fallen,” and the Wall Street
Journal declares that the big
corporation “failed because it
was based on a combination of
wholesale and retail business,
which imposed on it a financial
burden heavier that it could
bear.” It declares that the late
J. P. Morgan, who is said to have
been interested in financing the
top-heavy concern, saw this
clearly, antf that “it is not too
much to say that had he been
alive the result would have been
foreseen and therefore rendered
largely harmless.”
In the opinion of the Spring
field Republican, “what the New
Haven was in railroading the
Claflin company seems to have
been in merchandising. The pa
rallel in some wrays is striking,
j In both cases one finds the old,
I well-etablished concern w'ith a
! character beyond reproach and a
| reputation for unfailing profits
|and dividends transformed into
!an overweighted, unweildy and
' unmanageable enterprise. Ideas
!of business prudence tested by
centuries of experience were
j thrown to the winds in financing
them. The principle of combina
tion was supposed to carry some
magic with it capable of nullify
j ing even the multiplication ta
ble.”
It is very evident that the
'craze for gigantic enterprises
and monopolies is passing in
| America. c

Automobile Goes Into River.
Nathan Adler and M. C. Wea
ver were given an experience on
Sunday morning which came
near costing the former his au
tomobile, and which did, at
least, give the car a severe duck
ing. These gentlemen had just
crossed White river at Gay
nor’s Ferry, a few miles west
of the city, yesterday morning,
and driven the car upon the
slippery bank. When the ferry
man released the boat and
started it back across the stream
the automobile began to skid and
backed into the river^going to
the bottom in fifteen feet of wat
er. When the car began to back
Mr. Adler jumped out just in
time, however, to escape the
plunge which his car took.
The ferryman adjusted his
cable, and hooking it to the car,
in a short time had the automo
bile on the bank again.
A car was telephoned for,
which went out from town and
brought the “dead” car to the
city.—Batesville Guard.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mrs. Anns
Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain ii
my right side, caused from womanlj
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much
that 1 became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kin<
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the womar’i
tonic, and got relief from the very firs
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored
1 am now 43 years years old, but feel a
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from Ioslni
my mind, and 1 feel it my duty to speai
in its favor. 1 wish I had some powe
over poor, suffering women, and couli
make them know the good it would d<
them.”
If you suffer from any of the ailment
peculiar to women, it will certainly bi
worth your while to give Cardui a trial
It has been helping weak women to
[ more than 50 years, and will help you
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.
