LIKE J CHARM
After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked Like a Charm.
Jonesvlllo, S. C "I Buffered with
womanly trouble," writes Mrs. J. 8.
Kendrlck, In a letter from this place,
"and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
have a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they oper
ated on me, but I Rot no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardui. and began to
Improve, so I continued using It. Now,
I am well, and can do my own work,
I don't feel any pains.
Cardui worked like a charm."
There must be merit In this purely
Tegetable, tonic remedy, for women
Cardui for It hns been In successful
use for more thnn N years, for the
treatment of womanly weakness and
disease.
Please trv It, for your troubles.

London. Winston Churchill. Shu flrat
lord of the admiralty, in behalf of tho
English government bus made a spe
cllle offer to (iermany of a year's "nil
vnl holiday." wherein hotli tint hum
would agree to halt the construction
of battleship.
Widespread Interest wns n roused hy
the proposal, mill much significance la
attnehed to (he offer, which wus made
while he wus discussing the naval ex
pcuillturc of $;1T.i.OOO,Oih) n year and
warning the nation of the Inevitably
heavy lucrense In nriiianients If the
rivalry continued
The pith of his speech was contained
In this paragraph:
"Now. we any In all friendship and
sincerity to our great neighbor, tier
ii.any: If you will put off MgtaatMJ to
hull. I jour two ships for twelvemonths
we will put off In ahsolute koimI fnllh
the hulldliiK of our four ships for ex
actly the an me period."
If Great llrltaln and (iermany took
the lead, Mr. Churchill added, there
was n kooiI prospect of success In get
tlnn other powera to agrsj to a iinval
holiday, (him relieving the taxpayers
of ii burden of minimis of dollars.
Mr. Churchill first advocated a iinval
holiday on March '.''. when hu wns
speaking In the house of commons on
the naval estimates, hut Cermuny did
not accept his offer
"The proposal I put forward In the
