Health
About
Gone
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 Mts. Z.V.Spelf,.
of Hayne, N. C. “1 could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”'
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, aad
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . I 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.”
The Woman’s 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.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good 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 meant
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Qivt

SUGGESTS GUNS AS POSTMEN
Englishman Cites War Tests as Aigu
ment for Plan That Seems to
Have Possibilities.
New uses have been found for nwtny
things that were Invented largely or
entirely for war. Submarines may yet
assist us in peace time for certain pur
poses in connection with salvage, air
planes as a means of rapid transport,
munition factories for ttie manufacture
of sewing machines. Of these tilings
wc have heard much, but what of that
first and foremost instrument, the
shell?
Men are being demobilized In mil
lions, but shells ln^ hundreds of mil
lions.
A shell has all the points that go to
make a good servant and a reliable
messenger. It is quick, punctual, cer
tain, accurate, is not unromantic, can
travel In all weather, can carry a
heavy load 5, 10, 20 or 75 miles, brooks
no outsiders on its journey, and
Is, moreover, available In such Im
mediate and abundant supply that it
is a little short of an act bt folly to
relegate to the scrap heap or war mu
seum, without fair investigation of its
potentialities, our vast and wonder
ful array of artillery.
Every one Is familiar with the sys
tem of collecting and receipting cus
tomers’ payments in big shops. The
money Is put Into halls which roll
along skeleton tubes to the cashier’s
desk, where they are unscrewed, the
money taken out and the ball sent roll
ing hack with the change and the re
ceipt.
Ilore is an army of messengers, each
of whom is a rolling ball. Do not
think that my suggestion that shells
should be used likewise Is altogether
new.
When a brigade is “going over the
top" one of the gun teams of the
Stokes mortar battery is sometimes
told off for a “mysterious purpose.”
They have been attached, with their
gun, to headquarters, and supplied
with a strange-looking kind of shell
that unscrews to receive messages,
which they tire to battalion headquar
ters across the barrage. The shell con
tains a smoke cartridge, and when it
falls the stream of smoke shows the
position so that the battalion signal
ers can dash from their cover to pick
it up.
This method was Improvised to meet
certain contingencies; It contains, how
ever, the possibilities of infinite exten
sion and elaboration. Instead of the
casual Stokes gun, Imagine that we
are going to use a 9.2 howitzer, which
is accurate to a yard in 12 miles—so
accurate Indeed that a shell could be
depended upon to arrive at the tip
pointed spot without the aid of a
smoke stream to advertise its position
—and can carry not a hastily scribbled
note, but a mail of 2,IKK) or 3,000 let
ters.
Air Current to Grade Coal.
An Interesting method of grading
fine coal by means of an air current
is in use at an English colliery. The
coal is delivered to the washery by a
bucket elevator and discharged onto
shaking screens. The grading appa
ratus Is fixed immediately over the
delivery chute of the elevator, the
mixed coal allowed to flow over a
hinged weir plate. Immediately under
this plate Is an orifice through which
a powerful current of air is drawn
by means of a centrifugal fun. The
size of the opening is capable of ad
justment by means of a sliding plate.
The passing stream of coal is brought
nearer to or kept farther from the
section by adjusting the hinged weir
plate, so that any desired proportion
of small coal can be drawn off. A
deflecting plate is fitted Into the re
ceiver, which serves to throw' the
larger pieces of coal to the bottom;
the fine dust, passing with the air
through the fan, is finally collected in
cyclone separators.
Sir Douglas Haig's Popularity.
The prime factor In Sir Douglas
Haig’s great popularity among the
Krltish armies was undoubtedly the
interest he always showed In the boy
soldiers. During the many inspections
in France It was the Invariable prac
tice of nearly ul! generals—Kitchener
and French included—to hurry along
the ranks until they came to the old
soldiers with the rows of campaign
ribbons on their breasts. Sir Douglas
Haig always singled out the youngest
boys for his attention. You could see
them flush and stammer and straight
en up with pride at being noticed by
the commander in chief. Nor did lie
ever omit in these early days his spe
cial word of thanks “to all those who
have left their benches, shops, and
oflices to help us professional soldiers
to see it through.”
Incidence of Flu.
An interesting example of the inci
dence of influenza was given by Sir
St. Clair Thomson. In a sanitarium
for consumptives seven miles from
the nearest town there was an out-_
break of Influenza. There were 100
consumptives and about 100 on the do
mestic staff. Among those of the con
suu^ptives who caughtfllie disease none
had any complications, and none died;
several of the cases among the staff
proved fatal. Sir St. Clair Thomson
said that the consumptives probably
escape because the systems were
already organized to fight disease and
they could be considered in the same
position as vaccinated people.
By Sea and Land.
“Water, water everywhere, and not
a drop to drink!” walled the ancient
mariner.
"Yes,” said the mermaid. “Prohibi
tion is surely u success. Even the
ocean Is entirely ‘dry.’ ”
