People that don't know about food should

flammation of th kidneys.
"There I stayed,", she says, "thre
months', with iny stomach in such condition
that I could tax only a fw teaspoonful
of milk or beef Juice at a time. Finally
Grape-Nuts waa brought to my attention
and I asked my doctor If I might eat it. He
said, 'yc,' and I commenced at one.
"Th food did me good from th start
and I waa soon out of bed and entirely re
covered from the stomach trouble. I have
gained ten pound since my recovery and
am able to do all household duties, some
Cay sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. I can eat anything that on

Grape-Nuts at breakfast and aupper and

"Considering that a year ago I could atand

SAFE IN BLAIR DEPOT WRECKED
Robber Find Nothing; Inside to Re-
. ward Them for Their
Trouble.
BLAIR, Neb., Dec. 10. (Special.) The
most complete job of safe blowing that haa
been done in Blair for many years was ac
complished at the freight depot of the Chi
cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha rail
road this morning at about 3 o'clock by
parties so far unknown. Carl Lindstrom,
the cashier at the depot, remained working
on his books in the room until after 12
o'clock and It Is supposed the parties
thought he had left the day's collections In
the safe, but he had remitted to headquar
ters all except $10, which he took horn
with him. They tried all the windows and
finally gained an entrance through a slid
ing door In the storage room. Parties liv
ing near heard the report and afterward a
team being driven rapidly away, but did not
give any alarm. Only a few books and
lead pencils were in the safe and not a cent
of money. A bar of white soap cut up In
slices waa left lying on the table and a
large pocketknlfe with one . broken blade
near it. The work waa done with nitro
glycerine or aome other liquid explosive,
poured In at the top of the door In a cup
shaped aperture made out of the aoap. . .
The safe Is a complete wreck, the door
and frame being blown to pieces, some of
them sticking Into the wall and table op
posite. The safe had been In tfse here for
a Jong time. A well dressed man ot about
30 yeara ot age had loitered about the
freight depot of the Klkhorn road yester
day afternoon with no apparent reason tor
being there, but waa hot seen at the other
depot, where the safe "fas blown. Blood
waa found upon one of the window sills
and on the snow beneath and it looked aa
it It had been thrown from a cut hand.

J consider Wine of Cardui a most excellent woman's remedy. It ia
certainly a specific as a uterine tonic and regulator. For eight years 1
suffered with female trouble and irregularity. 1 had intense pain in the
Lack and bead, leaving tne so weak that I was unable to atand at timaa.
Medicine did not seem to help me, but after all remedies had failed me
Wine of Caidui proved my one great true friend. What a relief I exper
ienced. It was only a few days after. I started taking it. I used it
faithfully for four months and gradually grew stronger and better. My
menses which had been irregular and painful now were regular to the
day, and for the paat two years I haveenioyed blessed good health and
hardly know when I menstruate. I certainly wish every sick and suffer
ing woman could know of your blessed medicine, bow much pain and
suffering it would prevent, and what a difference it would make in thous
anda of home where there ia sickness and sorrow today. If they had
Wiae of Cardui it would bring relief and joy instead.
THERE are thousands of women
who on account of female
weakness are half living, half
existing. They are unable to fully
discbarge the duties that give that
true significance to the name of
"mother'.'. A healthy mother is the
soul of a home. And when she is
sick she leaves a vacancy which no
other can fill. With such a respon
sibility as this no mother has a right
to be sick when it is within her
power to be well. No mother, sis
ter or cLiughter has the right to rob
the home of her influence when snch
a remedy as Wine of Cardui ts cur
ing so many sufferers. Wine of
Cardui is a medicine that has cured
a million women, but it is a mild
medicine that may be taken by a
child without harm. It is a never
failing regulator of the menstrual
flow, accomplishing many astonish
i ing cures of chronic complaints that
have baffled doctors for years.
Thousands of doubting women who
have given up hope of ever being
well again have tested Wine of Car
dui and have been joyfully surprised
by returning health ana strength.
Tney have taken it because the trial
costs only tho price of the medicine
and involves no costly doctor's fees,
nor anr danger of the operating ta
ble. A woman doe not need to go
to a doctor to tell her she has female
weakness. She knows it sooner than
anyone else without a doctor's hold
ing a humiliating local examina
tion. Every 'woman should know
that Wine of Cardui always does the
same thing and it can be relied on.
Wine of Cardui will stop the wast
ing drains and rutting pains of
menstrual troubles, and it will cure
ovarian troubles and banish the
sharp agonies of bearing down pains
and give suffering women health
and strength. Wine of Cardui is
offered to you with all its power to
relieve and cure.
Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of
Cardui. Accept no substitute.
