SHOULD ENCOURAGE
COMPANY E.
Company E of Newport has
been doing some fine drilling of
late and is one of the best com
panies in the state. Their only
disadvantage is in the lack of
men. *
The people of our city are not
taking the interest in the home
boys they should. Capt. Lynn
and his assistant officers are
doing all they can to meet the
government requirements and
should have the encouragement
of our citizens. They drill twice
a week, Tuesdays and 1 ndays,
and would be glad to have the
people turn out to see them.
Their armory is considered the
best in the state.
The home company expects to

KEEP THE FIRES HOT.
Advertising is the fire under
the boilers of business, and we
must keep these fires hot if we
expect to attain and maintain
success. Let us not deceive our
selves because we are doing
plenty of business into the be
lief that we have no further
need of advertising. I say, to
have the whole question for and
against the value of advertising
solved, keep the fires red hot!—

Established for nearly a cen

state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
election, etc.

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

IT^IISS MAY MARKELL
pi of London, Ontario,
1 " 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
I friends instead of lvincr on
flow in a healthy and nat^jflH
ural manner. Menstruation H||||
started right is very easy to liB
keep regular through the Hl||
years of mature womanhood. H§||
Then the “change of life” HH
need not be feared. _ Thus
Wine of Cardui is woman’s fXgg
best relief from youth to I
old age. A millicn women |s9|
have secured blessed relief l|S|
from their sufferintrs by tak- I In
[ Miss May Markell.
a bed of sickness and suffering. For
the health she now enjoys she gives
credit to Wine of Cardui. She writes:
ul 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
ing this treatment. It relieves men- 'Ba
strual troubles in an incredibly short B|
time. In a simple case of deranged Eg
menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To B|
relieve disordered menses is to remove f||
the cause of other female troubles. Any 'fj
physician will tell you that to remove % fl
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 Markell secured try J
Wine of Cardui. You can take it with
out an examination and without any fjB
publicity whatever. You can take it in S
the privacy of your home and secure
just as much benefit as if a doctor had B
prescribed it for you. Thousands of wo
men are feeling the vigor of returning B
health by taking Wine of Cardui. B
