ALTO HERALD
Christmas Eve!
The wondrous Santa Claus
comes to the children with
thee. What visions of dolls,
games, books, candies, and
all sorts of goodies; drums,
trumpets, whistles of all sorts
o f squeaks and discordant
blasts, and the wonderful
Christmas tree with its brilli-
ant lights, gay colors, and my
jsterious packages, some o1
' which may contain the long
wished-for skates or the hugt
! jack-knife. It is all enchant-
I ment, all the color of the rose
J the rainbow that spans theij
young lives. Not all the ago
ny in the manger, all the won
der of the story of the Star ol
Bethlehem, of the following
and guiding of the wise men
to the lowly cradle of the com-
ing King; not all the sad beau-
ty of the old, old story can ful-
ly satisfy the juvenile heart
like these. But are we not
children of a larger growth!
and tender meaning, the gifts
occasion in spite of the deep
In spile of the solemnity of the
and goodies and merrymaking
are all dear to us, children in
heart though we are.

LET IT SLIP AND WAS
RUINED FOR LIFE.
What's the matter? Why
are you letting this opportuni-
ty slip through your lingers?
>on't you know that out there
11 the hustling business world
opportunity is calling f-o-r
young men and women trained
as stnographers, bookkeep-
ers operators and secretari-
es? How much longer will
ou stind aside and <■ • ex-
cuses? Aren't you afraid
that if you "put it off" anoth-
er time that something will
arise between now and then
to prevent you from getting
this training?
You can succeed. Other
people—those who are suc-
ceeding—nature didn't give
them a single extra bone or
one more nerve or muscle than
you possess. Their success
was not a birthright. It came
out of efforts-out of action.
They used their gifts-as you
should. They gained a train-
ing that developed and bro-
adened and increased their
talents-as you should. They
took aim at success and fired
away until they hit it.
Look around you! Where-
ever your eye turns, you see
some man or woman who had
no belter start than you-with
no grei-ter general education
or school learning than you,
Jut who was wise enough to
become specially trained in
some special line and who to-
day is going ahead fast and
leaving in the rear those who
throught special business tra-
ining unnecessary.
You must think of success
as a kind of Santa Claus and
expect it to drop presents into
your stockings while you sleep
You have made excuses and
halted long enough. Your du-
ty to yourself is to come to a
decision favoring an enroll-
ment now.
When may we expect you?

est business training school for

r
A Mrs. Jay McGw, 0! Steph-
™ enville,Texas, writes: 'For
inine (9) years,! faltered with
womanly trouble I had ter-
rible headaches, and pains in
my back, etc. It seemed as li
I would die, I suffered so. At
last, I decided to try Cardui,
the woman's tonic, and it
helped me right away. The
full treatment not only helped
me, but it cured me."
TAKE
Cardui
The Woman's Tonic
Cardui helps women in time
ot greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womanly organs.
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts, unable to

worrying and gtvc lui a
trial. It has help«4 t ands
