NO HOSTESS FOR
ARKANSAS BUILDING, j
A press dispatch from St.
Louis relating that Miss Lizzie
Cage of Helena was selected
Thursday as lady manager of the
Arkansas building at the World’s
Fair was somewhat misleading.
Miss Cage was elected to
that position several months ago.
Properly speaking, the place is
that of lady assistant, with a
salary of $75 per month. The
last legislature also provided for
a visitors’ attendant at $40 per
month.
At the meeting of the Arkan
sas board of fair .commissioners
in St. Louis Thursday the" elec
tion of a visitors’ attendant was.
an unnecessary expense, as the
lady assistant, Miss Cage, could
dispense the hospitalities of the
building.

Treastirer of the Brooklyn East E,nd Art
\ ENSTRUAL irregu
larities are gener
ally the beginning
of a woman’s trou
i bles. With the vitality at a
low ebb, the blood weak
ened, the digestion disor
dered, she goes about pale
faced, hollow-eyed and hag
gard, a piteous contrast to
ftte blooming health of
her former self. But over
1 000.000 women have found
health again by taking Wme or varaui.
As a regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui has never been known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
: perfect health, even in the most persis
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Miss IdaM. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., has used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attainments and she occupies
the oosition of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as a person of intellect, cul
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:
«If women would pay more attention
to their health we would
have more happy wives,
mothers and/daughters, and
if they would, use more Intel
ligence in thej matter of medi
cines, observ/mg results, they
would find {that the doctors'
prescriptions; do not perform
the many ciires they are given
credit for. }
“In consulting with my
druggist he. advised McElree’s
Wine of Cardui and Thed
, a_M Y A__ *4
IOfOS , auw aw « iw/A. Ik
and have every reason to thank Jiim for
a new life opened up to me with restored
health, and it only took three months to
cure me.” j
You may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
a3 she took it. Thedford’s Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day. •
