treated me...but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable...I was In bed for
three months and suffered euch agony
that I was Just drawn up In a knot...
I told my huaband If he would get
me a bottle of Cardul I would try It...
I commenced taking It. howerer, that
erenlng I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unJem I had a change for
the better. That iru itx yean ago
and I am still heTe and am a well,
•trong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardai. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery in my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardul
until 1 had taken three battles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better In my life... I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this."

STICK ON THE JOB AND WtN
Labor Department Says That Shiftless
Labor Gives Comfort to the
Kaiser.
"Why does drifting from job to job
give comfort to the Kaiser?" asks the
United States Department of Labor.
The question is asked to concentrate
labor's attention on the issue of th«
war.
These issues support every angle
going toward maintaining the neces.
sary morale to win the fight—labor,
physical, financial and tho deternr'na
tion to win. Without that support
there would not be the determination
to defeat autocracy that is apparent
with it.
Then the department answers its
own question by saying that it is "be
cause idle machines reduce produe
tion and weaker, our army." The de
partment. basing its views on fact,
says that all laborers must stick to
their jobs because "the fighters for
freedom must be armed and fed and
clothed. A chain is only as strong
as Its weakest links. You are a link
In the chain of production. If you do
not stick on the job you weaken the
chain.”
