needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com

SHERIFF RUDDELL
MAKING GOOD
The faithful and able, yet I
gentlemanly and impartial i
manner in which Lawrence j
Ruddell is discharging the du
ties of sheriff surprises both
his friends and hisfoesaml it is :
very probable that befre Ids;
. rm of office expires he v. ill j
■ • one of the most popular of-:
ficers in the county.
Tuesday at noon Sheiiifj
Ruddell destroyed 100 pints of j
blind tiger whiskey in front of j
the court house at Bate-nilh . j
A large crowd gathered to wit-I
ness the destruction, some >f |
whom were rejoicing while j
others were sorrowing and
cursing in under tones.
It is said that this particular
tiger has succeeded in ouwit
ting the county and city ofh- j
cers of Batesville for a number
of years, but it seems that
Sheriff Ruddell has mad,; a
good start toward putting him
out of business.
The whiskey is said t have
been the property of C. C.
Canaan, wh has been placed
under bond awaiting trial,
which will be held in a few
days.
It is said the federal author
ities are also after Caiman.
