THERE are a host of petty ailments
which are the direct result , of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold of win
ter, but is partly true of all seasons of
the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough, catarrh
of the head or bowel complaint, Whether
the liver be affected or the kidneys, the
cause is very linhle to be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the mu
cous membranes of the organs and the re
sult is some functional .disease.
Peruna has become a standby In
thousand of homes for minor ail
ments of this sort.

New Tork City. The pretty and
attractive blouse waist that Is simple
at the same time makes one of the
most necessary elements in any wom
an's wnrdrobe. It Is a bit more
dressy than the severe tailored shirt
waist, yet Is not quite so dainty as
the one In lingerie style, made either
of lawn or fine silk, and is altogether
useful as well as thoroughly attract
ive. This one can bo worn with
skirt to match or as a separate waist,
suiting both purposes equally well,
and is available for almost all sea
sonable walstings, wool and silk and
even the mercerized ones that so
many women like to wear - through
out the entire season. It can be
either lined or unllned and made
with three-quarter or full length
sleeves. In the Illustration louislne
Is stitched with beldlng silk and com
bined with tucked taffeta aud
trimmed with a tiny edge of velvet
and little velvet buttons, but the vest
and the collar and the trimming on
the cuffs can be of any contrasting
material that may be liked. If a
more dressy effect Is desired chiffon
or one of the pretty lingerie effects
can be used, while If washable mate
rial Is chosen for the waist these can
be of all-over embroidery or some
material of the sort.
The waist is made with the fitting
lining, which can be used or omitted
as preferred, and which is closed at
the centre front, and consists of the
fronts, the centre front and the back.
The fronts are arranged In a box
pleat at each edge and in rather wide
tucks at the shoulders, which are
stitched to yoke depth, while the back
Is tucked on tapering lines. The
trimming portions are joined to the
centre front, which in turn Is joined
to the waist, and the closing is made
Invisibly beneath the hot pleat at the
edge of the left side. The sleeves are
moderately full ones finished with
prettily shaped cuffs, whether they
are used in three-quarter or full
length.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and A
half yards twenty-one, three and a
quarter yards twenty-seven, or one
and . seven-eighth yards forty-four
Inches wide, with seven-eighth yard
eighteen Inches wide for the centre
front and collar, one and an eighth
yards If long sleeves are used.

Tucked Blouse.
The shirt waist or simple blouse
that Is made with a chemisette Is
among the daintiest of all, and Is ex
ceedingly attractive as well as emin
ently fashionable. This one Is closed
Invisibly at the front and allows of
trimming after a most effective man
ner. In the Illustration the material
Is a pretty plnld, while the trimming
1b velvet matching one of the darker
colors and the chemisette is of all
over lace. But chemisettes of lin
gerie material are always pretty, and
are equally In vogue, while trimming
can be silk or any contrasting mate
rial that may be liked or, Indeed, the
same material trimmed with a little
braid or velvet ribbon. The pointed
trimming straps on the front are dec
orative and quite simple, yet are not
obligatory, for a plainer wnlst can be
made by omitting them. The collar
finishes the neck, and whether the
sleeves are made with deep cuffs or
terminate at the elbows, the full por
tions are completed by pointed bands.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing that Is closed at the front and
consists of fronts and back. The back
Is laid in pleats for Its entire length
that give tapering lines to the figure,
but which are stitched to yoke depth.
The chemisette Is separate and closed
at the back, while the waist Is closed
Invisibly beneath the tucks at the
front edges. The Bleeves are prettily
full, laid In tucks at their lower
edges, and when full length is used
the linings are faced to form the deep
cuffs, but if the lining is omitted the
cuffs are joined to the lower edge.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-quarter yards twenty-one, three
and three-eighth yards twenty-seven,
or one and seven-eighth yards forty
four Inches wide, with five-eighth
yard of all-over lace for the chemi
sette t and five-eighth yard twenty

ured In medicines and Lydia E.
l'inkham, of Lynn, Mass., In her
study ol roots and herbs and their
power over disease discovered and
gave to the women of the world a
remedy for their peculiar ills more
potent and etlicacious than any
combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.
During its record of more than thirty years, its long list of actual
cures of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded
person and every thinking woman.
When women are troubled with irregular or painful functions,
weakness, displacements, ulceration or inflammation, backache,
flatulency, general debility, Indigestion or nervous prostration, they
should remember there Is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. 4
No other remedy in the country has such a record of cures of
female ills, and thousands of women residing in every port of the United
States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia E- Pink

Mrs. l'inkham Invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health. For twenty-five years she has been advising

Meaning of Tea Names.
We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bnhea,
etc., but few people have any Idea ot
what these names signify.
"Pekoe," In the dialect of Canton,
means "white hair," for the tea which
bears this namo Is made from the
youngest leaves, ' so young that the
while down Is still on them.
"Soochong," in tho same dialect. Is
a quite unpoetic name; it merely sig
nifies ''small kind."
''Flourishing Spring" Is the mean
ing of ''Hyson."
"Kongo" signifies "labor;" much
trouble and toil are expended in its
preparation at Amoy, and these are
commemorated in its name.
'Bohea" is called after a range of
hills. Portland Journal.

'Dobie Itch,' as the natives call it. In
this disease small, white, itching pimples
form under the skin, generally between the

case originating outside the Philippine

where it has returned in this country and
invariably at the same time of the year

as I could learn, was some tropical parasite
or germ peculiar to that region.
"I got so bad that I was confined to my
