Men are critical of quality beeause they know that the life of their clothes depend upon it. Men insist upon value because it makes a dollar go the full length of its duty.

The price of the attachment is $145 on Fords and $155 on other cars, much cheaper than any other similar attach ment. The Pullford does the work of four horses and will do it in the hottest weather when horses can't stand the gaff. The Pullford will do the work of four horses and does not eat when it is not --working. If you could buy four good horses for $145 you'd think they were mighty cheap. For practical work on the average farm the Pullford is the very best investment the farmer can make. It will pull your binder, do your plowing, discing, harrow ing, pull your manure spreader, haul your heavily loaded wagons to town; in fact, it will do about all the work your horses will do except planting and cultivating your corn. The Pullford will pife45iy load that your two best teams will pull and do it easy. We will demonstrate the Pullford in a few days.

"THE WHOLE TRUTH" Says Mrs. Eads, in Writing Her Praise For Cardui. Circleville, Ohio. "All I have said about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is the whole truth," says Mrs. Fannie Eads, of R. F. D. No. 6, this town. "I suffered with womanly weakness, and pains in my back and limbs for two long years. I was so bad off, I could hardly walk at all. Jly husband advised mo to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I con eluded to follow his advice. After tak ing Cardui according to directions, I now feel like a new woman, and can do all of my work. Before taking Cardui, I was await ing skeleton; now I weigh 150 pounds. I recommend Cardui to every suf fering woman, for I know what it did for me. My dresser is never without a bottle of Cardui on it." There is no reason why Cardui won't help you, just as It has Mrs. Eads, as well as hundreds of thou sands, of other women in the past 50 yeare. So if you suffer from any of the many . ailments so common to women, or need a good strengthening ionic for that tired, nervous, worn-out feeling, get a bottle of Card-u-i, ' today. At all druggists.
