"Wine of Cardui is certainly ’worn
out’ women’s best friend and I am pleased
to give my experience with it. A few
months ago I caught a severe cold, hav
ing been out in inclement weather, which
settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I noticed a change in a
few days and felt encouraged to continue
taking Wine of Cardui, and my patience
was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains
had left me and ? felt like a new woman.”

eased tissue. Wine of Cardui regulates
the menstrual flow and Nature, when
relieved of the drains or of the poisons
in the system, makes the functional
organs strong and healthy again.
Any woman who is silently suffering
untola pains because she is too sensitive
I to undergo a physician's examination
and treatment can find no excuse for
not securing relief when Wine of Car
dui is offered to her. There is no pub
licity to deter her. She can take W ine
of Cardui in the privacy of her home,
with as much assurance of a final cure
as though a dozen doctors recommended
it. Many physicians do recommend
Wine of Cardui to their patients.

EX-CHIEF CRAIG RETURNS.
Will Face Charge of Embezzle
ment of City Funds at
Pine Bluff.
Pine Bluff, Dec. 16.—William
Craig, formerly chief of police of
this city, who for some years
has been mysteriously missing
and is under indictment in the i
circuit court charged with em
bezzlement of city funds while
in office, voluntarily returned to
the city today and gave himself j
up. His bond was fixed at $1,
000 and in company with a dep
uty sheriff he visited a few of
his friends and easily made the
bond.
When asked to make a state
ment for publication Mr. Craig
said he would not talk before
consulting with his attorney.
The charge against Mr. Craig
is based upon an alleged shortage
reported to the city council by a
committee appointed to investi
gate the books of his office as
chief. The exact amount is not
definitely known, but it is
thought to be several hundred
dollars.
Mr. Craig was chief of police
two years ago under an appoint
ment from Mayor Bell, but left
the city rather suddenly and had
not been heard from until today,
when he returned to give himself
up and face the charges. He
says he is not guilty.
TUCKERMAN TOPICS.
A supper was given Thursday
night by the Knights and Ladies j
of Honor, which was well at-;
tended.
Cotton picking in this s ction
seems almost completed and the I
farmers are well satisfied with j
the year’s outcome. Tuckerman'
has made quite a reputation on
the price paid for cotton, which
has been bringing around 3.20 in
the seed the past week.
Among the pr tty new homes
under construction here are those
of J. W. Scally and T. D. Law
rence.

nel and Mrs. T. J. Klais, inr r

in that business. George W.
Yelverton has recently completed
a fine barn and is making a spe
cialty of mule buying and has
already purchased a nice bunch
of sleek-looking animals.
