■ A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.
Hines, Ala.—“1 must confess”, says
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, ‘‘that
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done me
a great deal of good.
Before I commenced using Cardui, I
would spit up everything 1 ate. 1 had a
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. I codld hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, I have entirely
quit spitting up what I eat. Everything
seems to digest all right, and 1 have
gained 10 pounds in weight.”
If you are a victim of any of the numer
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong to suffer.
For half a century, Cardui has been re
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is com
posed of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back to health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won’t regret it. Your druggist sells tt.

NEW FEATURES
i
d i.;le Gentry Brothers shows
j "O.eh wih visit this city next
■:i-,.h'.y. September 20, are not
j i<ev. to this community, they
j hr; y with them many things
j Ah. are new to America this
! 'n. Among these features
| are many trained animals, but
I firs of all is the list of Europe
I an novelty acts.
! During the winter the agents
! °* the Gentry Brothers made a
! very careful and thorough can
vass of Europe, gathering to
gether the most novel features
possible for America’s most
closely censored shows. In
I France the agents secured Bou
chard and Blanchard, the great
est gymnasts that ever claimed
the home of Napoleon as their
. own.
For many seasons this troupe
oi performers remained in the
; old country, persistently refus
ing to come to America. When
a man has something to sell and
the other fellow wants it, then
the seller is sooner or later tem
pted by the fancy price offered
for his ware. This was the case
with these performers- They
put, as they thought, a prohib
itive price on their services, but
when the figure was agreed to
by Gentry Brothers the French
men decided they would acept
the alternative and come to A
merica, for one season at least,
j When the contract for an A
merican tour was closed Marcell |
and Lennett, another French
| company, decided to visit Amer
: ica. In this way Gentry Broth-'
jers Shows annexed the services 1
; of the “International Coiques", j
!a clever set of tumblers, who also ;
have long hesitated to leave their;
I native land.
In Germany at the time the-e
contracts were closed, was Mad
! ame Heloise, whose act was the'
; talk of Continental Europe. She j
is the world’s greatest woman •
horse trainer. The horses she
used before royalty are said to
be the finest in the world. Mad
; ame Heloise, through the effort.-,
j of an American consul acepted -
; a contract to appear in America.
This season she is one of the es-1
jpecial features with Gentry
| Brothers Shows. j
| Through Madame Heloise the
; Cevene Trio, who, three years |
| ago startled the medical and
' dental worlds by acts of daring, -
! were engaged. This company of
I performers are accustomed to |
! dangling in the air while sus
' pended by their teeth'. Time was'
when no medical man would ad-1
mit that the human being could j
i accomplish such a thing, but
I the Cevene trio have disproven
| the theories of the scientific
| world.
Another feature with Gentry
i Brothers shows is Don Boucha
! ro. This man, a Spaniard, has
j subdued and trained a ferocious
I family of leopards and lions, and

No modern ventilation.
No modern plumbing.
No modern refrigerator.-.
Xo gas and electric ranges.
Xo. prepared foods
Xo sewing machines. i
No pneumatic cleaners.
No carpet sweepers.
No elevators acetyline lights.
No electric trains and trol

Instead we walked or drove ill
our coach or village hack.
We waited for the mails, sent
a special messenger or trudged
along ourselves, if we were im
patient or the need of quick and
personal solution of a problem '
was necessary.
For air we opened our win-|
dows. had drafts on our heads 1
and sniffed ail the winter j
through.
For heat we pulled up the;
grate or stove and were roasted !
in front and frozen behind.
\Ve hung our food in the cis- j
tern or out in the snow.
We roused out early in the
shivery morning to make the
fires.
We sewed by hand and made
m&: of the fabrics. This kept
or." hands good and busy and
left plenty of room for gossip, so
that we could hate someone, and
ourselves in the bargain
We did all the house work by
hand, the dust cloth and the
Groom. We delighted in climb

We read under the glow of a

We stayed at home for the
most part unless we dropped in
on a very near neighbor. We
had lots of local pride, for we
didn’t have time to think of the
rivalry of distant cities, we nev

The greater freedom of those
days was the greater room for

The American Indian will soon
exist only in history. His exter
mination has been gradual, but
will be sure. He has gradually
been driven from his happy
home in the east to a few barren
reservations in the west, where,
by amalgamation, dissipation or
sepai’atior. he is fast becoming
extinct.
The Redskin has always been
•one of the most picturesque as
well as cunning of the races. He
is quick of perception, fleet of
foot, loyal to a friend and un
yielding t -> an enemy. There i - s
many other things that make
the Indian interesting to people
who know very little about them
or their habits. Even at this ad
vanced period there are many
people in America who have nev
er seen an Indian. ±
1 The Buffalo from which the
Indian secured almost all his
supplies, is also nearly extinct^
I Once the vast herds had almost
, undisputed title to and posses
sion of as many thousand miles
of miles as the Indians had to
0heir hunting grounds. Count
less millions of these monarchs
of the plains roamed over the
west, but; today they can be
counted by some few hundreds.
