Use of Cardui Helped
to Relieve Suffering.
“I have taken Cardui
and have found it a very
helpful medicine,” says
Mrs. Minnie Rocher, of
Lynn Haven, Fla. “After
a course of Cardui, I felt
like I had been made over.
“For a while I suffered
with bad pains in my back
and sides. At times, these
would distress me so I
would seem past going.
“We had known of Car-
dui in our family for a
long time, so I thought I
would try taking it. I soon
began to improve. I grew
strong and well, and was
able- to resume my house-
hold duties without the
least inconvenience.”
Cardui is a mild, harm-
less extract of valuable
medicinal herbs. Try it.

A TRAGEDY
She was a beautiful girl and the
\ same sad story tn|f, ^ alas has
\ften been told and checkered
naany a young life, which has its
beginning in sunshine, surrounded
by) every luxury and the wealth of
th& world. ITer eyes were now
wide and staring, her face flushed;
h£r hands were nervously work-
ing. She was a deeply troubled
and injured woman, and we hear
her saying: “0, cruel one, you
have injured the very fountain of
my being! Day by day you have
tortured me yet I cannot give
you up. When first we- met, how
you ease and polish attracted me.
But your understanding is' too
small for my sole. You ares op-
posed to mv advancing in society.
If we had never met, I might have
walked in peace. So now, begone.
We part forever.” There Avas a

ting of teeth, and a sharp sigh, it

Years of Service

odel T Ford
wM
Expenditure of few dollars may
enable you to get thousands of miles
from your old car
THE Model T Ford is still a great car. It led the motor
industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people
than any other automobile. More than eight million Model
T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and
many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and
even longer at very small up-keep expense.
The cost of Model T parts and of necessary labor is
unusually low because of established Ford policies.
New fenders, for instance, cost from $3.50 to $5 each,
with a labor charge of $1 to $2.50. Tuning up the motor
and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points
costs only $1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes
can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor
charge of only $1.25. A labor charge of $4 to $5 will cover
the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring
perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels.
The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle
runs from $5.75 to $7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon
can be done for $3 to $4.
A set of four new pistons costs only $7. For a labor charge
of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission
completely overhauled. Parts are extra.
All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the
cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each
car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model
X Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service.
See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him
estimate on the cost of re-conditioning your Model T Ford.
He will tell you, in advance, exactly how much the complete
job will cost.
