Many thousands
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
ofilayne, N.C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,"'
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . 1 began
Improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
h. he Womans Tonic
She writes further: “ I
am in splendid health . . .
can do my work. I feel I
owe it to Cardui, for I was
In dreadful condition.”
!i you arc nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the c°od it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

Congress Determined to Make
Certain Future Growth of
Transportation Facilities.
PLANS AGREE ON PRINCIPLES.
Return of Roads to Owners With
Assurance of Adequate
Revenues.
Was! inffton,—One of the hit? prob
lems before the new Congress is get
ting the railroads back on a peace
basis. These 200,000 miles of steel
highways were taken over by the Gov
ernment as an indispensable arm of
the national defense; but now that
their war service is over, there is a
country-wide demand that the Gov
ernment. restore them to their owners
to be operated on normal American
business standards of efficiency.
But, us has been pointed out by
President Wilson as well as by many
men In public life who have given
this subject years of careful study,
it is not enough simply to say to the
railroad companies, “Take these rail
roads and give the country the best
transportation service that money and
brains can provide.”
Old Laws Obstruct Growth,
The President recently said that it
would be n serious mistake to return
to the old conditions of railroad regu
lation without reforming the anti
quated laws that were obstructing the
free development of transportation fa
cilities. The Director General of Itnil
roads has recently made tin inspection
trip from coast to coast, and he has
been telling the people that the time
has now come to put the railroads on
h sound foundation.
The plans for a better system of
national control of railroads are as
varied as were the plans for banking
and currency reform when Congress
received a mandate from tin* people
to provide insurance against financial
panics. The public now demands in
surance against a breakdown of rail
road transportation, and the new Con
gress is undertaking this work as sbe
ondarj only to insurance against in
ternational warfare. Congress solved
the hanking problem seven years ago
as a non-partisan issue, in which all
the people had a common interest, and
Congress evidently is tackling the
railroad problem with the same spirit.
While the many plans that have
been proposed differ in the methods
to r,e adouted in reaching the desired
goal, it has been pointed out by Sena
tor Cummins of Iowa, that all these
plans have really very much in com
mon—so much so that lie is confident
that Congress will have little difficulty
iu framing a Dili that will meet vvitn
popular approval, and that will take
the railroad question out of politics
for many years to come.
Many Plans witfi One Aim.
The Iowa Senator 1ms a command
ing position in this Congress because he
Is the ranking member of the Interstate
Commerce Committee of tlie United
States Senate, and it is in this com
mittee that the new railroad bill will
take final form. In an address before
a national meeting of business men
at St. Louis Senator Cummins stated
that since the close of the war, fully
thirty complete plans for new railroad
legislation had been submitted to him
by business men, economists, bankers,
railroad officials and owners, Govern
ment officials, railroad workers and
Just plain citizens.
The basic principles upon which all
of these plans, with one exception,
agree are as follows:
1. Private operation is more effi
cient and more economical than
Government operation, and the
public interest will therefore be
served by a return of the roads to
private management.
2. To make certain that new
capital will be attracted to the
expansion of railroad facilities,
there ought to be greater certain
ty that a fair retuVn will be earn
ed on the investment.
3. The merging of weak and
strong roads into large competing
systems should be encouraged.
The making of a formula to pro
vide a fair return on railroad capital
seems likely to lie the phase of thr
problem most thoroughly debated in
Congress. The Director General litis
been urging that the Government
ought to guarantee a certain return
and share in any excess earnings.
Leading bankers, especially some of
the international bankers in Wall
street, who have In the past marketed
many hundreds of millions of railroad
securities, also look favorably on the
suggestion of a Government guaran
tee, which will make it easier to sell
new securities, and will also stabilize
the market fur the old bonds and
stocks.
Government Guarantee Opposed.
Hut the proposal that the Govern
ment shall guarantee the interest and
dividends on private capital Invested
in railroads will undoubtedly meet
with very vigorous opposition in many
quarters. Even railroad executives,
who might lie supposed to take kindly
to the idea of a Government guarantee
against failure, have frankly stated
that they do not want it. because they
believe it is un-American In principle,
would tend to lessen efficiency, and
would involve the roads In a Govern
ment partnership that would inevita
bly lead to Government ownership.
