HARDLY KNOW HER
But Tills Does Not Bother Mrs.
Burton, Under the
Circumstances.
Houston, Texas.—In an interesting
letter from this city, Mrs. S. C. Burton
writes as follows: "I think it is my duly
to tell you what your medicine, Crrdui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
I was down sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn't seem to do
nis any good. 1 lingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks. .1
was in bed, so sick 1 couldn't bear lot
any one to walk across the floor.
My husband advised me to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. I have taken two
bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained
IS pounds and do all of my housework,
triends hardly know me, I am so well."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
20 common to women, don't allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. It is purely vegetable,
ils ingredients acting in a gentle, natural
way on the weakened womanly constitu-
tion. You run no risk in trying Cardui.
h Ins been helping weak women back to
n '"h and strength for more than 50
years, it will help you. At all dealers.

On Wn.ite in Cotton Marketing
Hei.ry N. Tope, lecturer Texas Farmers' Union, when
asked to estimate the annual loss duo to iwprope*
methods of marketing the Texas cotton crop said In
part:
"The waste in cotton marketing begins at the gin
and it follows the product through every step from the
Kin to the mill and it agg/fttjates an enormous waste
which couid be prevented, nmountlng to not less than
Ave dollars per bale. Samples taken from the bale by
the cotton buyer amount in the United States annuallyl
to 100,000 bales, which is known to commerce as the
'city crop'. At normal prices, that cotton is worth $60
per bale making a total of $6,000,000 per year. Exports calculate that stor.
age for cotton can be provided at a cost of $1.50 to $2.00 per bale for the
permanon structure. This less, amounting to $6,000,000 occurs annually
and the saving of this item alone within two or three years would provide
all the cotton warehouses that the Sou h can possibly use at the time of Its
greatest need for storage and with the lnrgeat crop that It can possibly pro-
duce for cotton wi',1 move continually from September to March and at no
time,' nor under any circumstances, would there ever be more than one-third
or one-fourth of tho total crop under shelter.
\s n eonaeduencs of the cutting of the bale for the sample, the cotton must
be repacked at the compress. The ragged condition caused by much sampling
and exposure in the gn yards, or in the back yard, or in the cotton yards,
or 011 th<^ rnllroiul p'atforni, or elsewhere, from the gin to shipside, results
in an accumulation or dirt and trash in 'plucking*' on compress platforms
and in cotton yards in increased insurance, in damage from cw.poBure, in
increased Are hazards and the deduction for the tare which always exceeds
the actual weight of tho bagging and ties by ten pounds at least—1 say that
these several items of waste and graft amount in the aggregate to a sum
not less than five dollars per hale, every cent of which Is calculated In ad-
vance by the purchaser, and 1b deducted from the price which the spinner
pays the farmer. .None of this appears in the bill of lading but is ail
in the transaction and it all accrues to the loss of tho producer.
The next process is official grading of the cotton sainpla. In my judg-
ment t\he farmers aro losing from fifty centu to one doll > per bale by t.he
grading of the cotton buyer, who naturally will givr himself the benefit of
the doubt in ordor to protect his own business with the mill. A cotton
buyer, uncertain as to whether a bale of cotton is atyict, middling c't mid-
dling fair, will buy it at the lower grade rather than the hlgh-er. We must
allow that there are many dishonest men in the cotton trade, as in other voca-
tions, and that a large number of them will' tako advantage ol tho farmers ig-
norance and possibly grade the cotton much lower than its actual grade."
