The great tunnel through

will be longer than at first in
tended. Instead of being twc
and a half miles in length it will
reach four miles and will negoti
ate the range without climbing
any hills of consequence. It wil
consume nearly four years in the
construction of this tunnel and
will cost about $4,000,000, or $1,
000,000 a mille. The entire tun

when a charge of dynamite is

It is great because it has al
ways aimed to inform, instruct
and entertain its readers on all
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.

j should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
-movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
election, etc.
You will want to know all
about the World's Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
kept well informed by the farm
visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every line
: of activity, and through the un
surpassed news and special ser
vice of the twice-a-week Repub

MI am pleased to give my
experience with Wine of
Cardui as 1 am very grateful
for its help. After my first
baby was born I could not
seem to regain my strength,
although the doctor gave me
atonic which he considered
very superior, but instead of
getting better I grew weaker
every day. My husband
came home one evening with
Wtn^ rtf C*.arAui and in
hers, as are their ambitions, t
triumphs and defeats.
Healthy women do not suf
fer miscarriage nor does
a woman who is healthy
suffer tortures at childbirth.
It is the woman who is ail
ing—who has female weak
| ness—who fears the ordeal
of becoming a mother. Wine
of Cardui builds up the wo
manly in a woman. It stops
all unnatural drains and
I Mr*. Fred Unratlu
sisted that I take it for a week and see
what it would do for me. As he seemed
to have so much faith in it I did take the
imedicine and was very grateful to find
my strength slowly returning. In two
weeks I was out of bed and in a month I
' was able to take up my usual duties. I
am very enthusiastic in its praise.*
[TT10THERH00D ia the noblest duty
|v| and highest privilege women
11 11 can achieve or aspire to. With
out this privilege women do not
get all there is in life—too often they
go through the world discontented,
wrapped up in their own selfish, cares
and troubles. How different is the
happy mother, watching her children
fow into manhood and womanhood.
mother lives as many lives as she has
children—their joys and sorrows are
strains—irregularities wmcn are re
sponsible for barrenness and miscar
riage. It makes a woman strong and
healthy and able to pass through preg
nancy and childbirth with little suffer
ing. After the ordeal is passed the
Wine prepares a woman for a speedy
recovery to health and activity.
Wine of Cardui, in re-inforcing the
organs of generation, has made mothers
of women who had given _ np hope of
ever becoming mothers. Wine of Cardui
will cure almost any case of barrenness
except cases of organic trouble. How
can you refuse to take such a remedy
that promises such relief from suffering?
Wine of Cardui simply makes you a
strong woman, and strong, healthy
women do not suffer. _ They look for
ward to motherhood with joy.
