Peruna
as a
Catarrh
Remedy
MRS. I. M. TINNEY.
Mrs. E. M. Tinney. story writer.
325 E. Nueva St., San Antonio, Tex.,
writes:
"During 1001 I suffered from nasal
catarrh, which various other remedies
failed to rplieve.
. "Six bottles of Peruna, which I took,
entirely cured me, the catarrh disap
pearing and never returning.
"I therefore cheerfully recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted."
Mrs, Ellen Nngle, 414 4th street, Green
Bay, Wis., writes:
I hove often heard Peruna praised and
H is more widely known here than any
other medicine, but I never knew what a
splendid medicine it really was until a few
weens ago, when l caught a baa cold
which settled all over me.
"The doctor wanted to prescribe, but I
told him I was going to try reruns and
sent for a bottle and tried it.
"I felt much better the next morning
and within five days I had not a trace of
ray lameness or any cough.
"I consider it the finest cough rem
edy."
Peruna Tablets: Some people prefer
to take tablets, rather than to take med
icine in a fluid form. Such people can ob

TWO CHEERFUL LIARS.
A Queer Cherry Tree and a Back Ac
tion Cannon Ball.
Mr. Flnlayson, town clerk of Stir
ling in the latter part of the seven-
teenth century, was noted for the
marvelous in conversation. He was
on a visit to the Earl of ;iontelth
and Alrth In his caBtl at Taha, on
the loch of Montelth, and was about
taking leave when he was ask!d by
the earl whether he had seen the
ailing cherry tree. t
"No," said Flnlayson. "What sort
of a thing is it?"
"It is," replied the earl, "a tree that
has grown out of a goose's mouth
from a stone the bird had swallowed
nd which she bears about with her
tn voyages round the loch. It Is Just
at present in full fruit of the most
exquisite flavor. Now Flnlayson," he
added, "can you, with all your powers
of memory and fancy, match the
tory of the cherry tree?"
"Perhaps I can," said. Flnlayson,
clearing his throat, adding, "When
''Oliver- Cromwell was at Alth one of
the cannon sent a ball to Stirling
and lodged it In the mouth of a
trumpet which one of the troops in
the castle was In the act of sound
ing." "Was the trumpeter killed?" said
the arl.
"No, my lord," said Flnlayson. "He
blew the ball back and killed the ar
tllleryman who had fired it!" Pear

Woman Makes Farm Pay.
Mrs. Ida Webster of Pratt county,
Kan., has harvested 8,000 bushels ot
wheat and 3,000 bushels of corn from
her 800-acre farm this fall. The
place was cultivated under her per
sonal supervision, and 12 men work
for her all the year around, and
many more In harvest time. Her hus
band died 12 years ago and left her
the place and its mortgage. Since
then she has paid off the mortgage
and is now supposed to be worth
160,000.
HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

friends those who treat us best
w- Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch It carefully awhile
and observe that It Is one of the
meanest of all enemies, for It stabs
one while professing friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine which Injures the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
' tip disease In one or more organs of
the body if Its use Is persisted in.
"I had heart palpitation and ner
vousness for four years, and the doc
tor told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave It off,
but I thought I could not," writes a
Wis. lady.
"On the advice of a friend I tried
Postum Food Coffee, and It so satis
fied me I did not care for coffee after
few days' trial of Postum.
"As weeks went by and I continued
to nse Postum my weight increased
from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. I have used It a year
now and am stronger than I ever was.
I can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitation, and am cured of
nervousness.
"My children are very fond of Pos
tum, and It agrees with them. My

Woman Elected Mayor.
Within recent times a woman has
been elected mayor of a town and be
came thereby fnmous. It was some
fifteen years ago that a Mrs. Yates
passed a stormy .twelve months In the
mayoral chair of Onehunga In New
Zealand, and her admirers claim for
her that never in the Ufo of that town
were its sanitary arrangements so
perfect and Its municipal debt so low
as during her term of office. Today
In the village of Koelsona, in Austria'
Hungary, the same experiment Is be
ing tried. A young woman, only
twenty-four years of age, has been
chosen major, and with her on the
municipal council are four other mem
bers of her sex. New York World.
The Afternoon Nap.
In Gc-many they have an institu
tion called the Sehlafchen. This is a
little nap In the afternoon between
the ponderous early dinner and the
coffee which Is served at 4 o'clock
Xcthlng is nlowed to Interfere with
this Teutonlr rite. "In a German
country house." says an observer, ' I
hr.ve seen with these eyes dashing
cavalry officers in tight tunics and rat
tling swords disappear about 2.30
o'clock, to emerge in an hour's time
looking a trifle sleepy, but armed tn
every sense for the conquest of the
fair. Students and professors, ma
trons and busness men, tinkers and
tailors, all take their forty winks in
the afternoon and get up strenuous and

Modern Girl Superior.
The twentieth century woman is
far more Inclined to take- a serious
view of love and matrimony than
either her mother or grandmother ap
pears to have been. She may like
admiration, but as a rule, she has no
desire to poso as a breaker ot men's
hearts.
Viewed even from a moral stand
point, the girl of the 30's, the maiden
of ready blushes and simple white
muslin frocks, who was taught to re
gard every unmarried man who
crossed her horizon as a probable lov
er and possibly husband, was much
more "forward" In spite of her vaunt
ed modesty than the bachelor ' girl
who looks the realities of life straight
In the face and understands how the
taking of a husband can prove a curse
as well as a blessing. New York

Chinese Girls at School.
New and striking educational exper
iences will be undergone by China if
the three young women who have
come to Wellesley for a higher educa
tion should adopt all the frivolities of
dress of the college girls and should
acquire a fondness for the consump
tion of chocolate and ice cream in the
Inn. But Miss Chichi Wang, Miss
Wing Lia Hu and Miss Faung Yuln
Tsao are not as far behind as some
of their American companions think,
sxcept that they don't wear lingerie
waists and know nothing of American
cookery. The foreigners have sur
prised the other Wellesley girls, In
forming them that there Is a good
newspaper in Pekln especially for wo
men, and edited by a woman. The
newcomers have destroyed one of our
pst fancies about their Bisters by as
serting It is becoming fashionable for
Chinese women to have natural feet
and that all over the empire the

dying out. New York Press.
Labouchere on Women's Hats.
Last year the fashion ot ladles' hats
was extravagant, and I thought that
the climax of folly had been reached.
A. woman looked when out walking
or driving like the horse at a funeral.
Her hat was a mass of ostrich feathers
that waved far above her. This year
this extravagance has been outdone.
The hat Itself is generaly of straw
and In shape Is like a waste paper
basket reversed. But the straw Is mere
ly used as a foundation for a wondrous
fabric- of flowers, fruits or feathers.
When It Is feathers, they are arranged
after the Ideas of Choctaw Indians.
Some of them are piled on high, oth
ers straggle down the back of the
wearers, and others seem to be put on
In a vaguely promiscuous fashion, for
the essential is to have a great many
of them. When it is flowers they
look like a bed which a gardener
has sown with varletgated seeds, that
have been allowed to grow as they
list The wearer either tilts this huge
structure on the side of her head or
at the back, and seen from behind
she looks as though she had no neck.
The prettiest girl almost ceases to be
pretty when arrayed In thlB headgear.
for the plain ones and they seem
to have the largest hats they are
made doubly plain. A lady, fat, dow
dy and past ber youth, in such a
hat, is one ot the most ridiculous
sights that can well be conceived.
London Truth-
Women og Fashion Taller.
Society women In the United
Kingdom- undoubtedly are becoming
taller with every passing generation.
There are in the present decade many
who are of goodly height, and it Is
noticeable that the debutantes of each
suceedlng year appear to have gained
a little In their average of stature.
Among the fashionable matrons ot
American birth' who hold their heads
higher than the society herd are-Prln-cess
Hatzfeldt, Cora, Countess ot
Strafford, Mrs. Cornwallls West, Mrs.
John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Potter
Palmer. Glancing over the English
world of fashion one calls to mind as
among the tall" women of Mayfalr,
Lady Desborough, Lady Herbert, Lady
de Clifford, Lady Gladys Herbert, Lady
Marjorie Sinclair and the Hon. Mrs.
Skefflngton-Smythe, all of whom are
more than five feet ten inches tall.
But each of the foregoing women Is a
dwarf beside the Hon. Mrs. Edmund
Yorke, whose height Is six feet, four
inches. Mrs. Yorke, who was Miss
Ova Mllner, seemingly Is not at all
embarrassed by her nearess to the
clouds. It's a long way for her to
look down on her fellow mortals, yet
she Is a woman of exceptional sympa
thy and deservedly one of the most
popular hostesses In the realm of Ed
ward the Caresser. New York Press.
Americans Dress Too Qaudy.
One of the first exclamations of for
eigners visiting America concerns the
showiness of costume which is no
ticed in women of good position. In
New York especially there Is thought
to be too little distinction between
the gowns of a lady, In the old-fash
ioned acceptance of the word, and
those of her sisters ot less enviable
reputation.
The difficulty Is not, perhaps, be
cause the society women of America
gown themselves too gayly, but be
cause they are often indiscreet in
their selections ot the modes which
come here directly from Paris.
"After the Americans we purify,"
is a current remark In Paris concern
ing the season's fashions. The most
pronounced and often outre, styleB are
sent to America, since here the mar
ket Is sufficiently broad and varied to
take in all sorts and conditions.
There is, besides, money, and to
spare, in the purses of many classes
of women.
It is, then, after the American im
porters have been satisfied that the
season's models are refined and "pur
ified" for the well-bred women of
France.
During the last year two American
girls who have married Frenchmen
have had the unique experience of
having their husbands request them to
lay aside their extensive trousseaux
and to provide themselves Instead
with lingerie and gowns more refined
and ladylike.
These trousseaux, however, had
been bought in America at enormous
expense, since they were "Imported"
and of. the latest cut and design. In
France they would have been bought
and worn by women of uncertain rep
utation, while In this country they
were chosen by well bred and society
women. New Haven Register.
Fashion Notes.
Long sleeves are used In all tailor
models.
Dark blue or black coats with Scotch
plaids look stunning.
Japanese sleeves are used In many
coats for older women.
Raspberry Is one of the new shades
of felt being used by the milliners.
A waist with a round yoke is apt
to be unbecoming to the stout person.
A walking suit of red linen Is pro
nounced much smarter than one ot
white.
Braiding of all kinds, more especially
that suggesting the military, Is very
popular.
In cut, in color, In trlmmnlgs sim
plicity is the dominant tone of the
smart suit.
The skirt trimmed In panel fashion
Is becoming. The panels may be of
contrasting material.
The little braalded hip Jackets are
very new and are appropriate with
either long or short skirts.
The collar and cuffs of the bolero
are of "mod"e broadcloth. Short
sleeves give the picturesque touch.
Stripes should be used with discre
tion. They have a tendency to make
the stout woman appear conspicuous.
Long skirt suits have fancy coats or
Jaunty hip Jackets, three-quarters or
still longer coats that almost reach
to the edge of the skirt.
Much attention is being paid to a
rainy day outfit. Coats, especially.
an be made very attractive when
trimmed with buttons, pipings, collar
lapels and pockets.
Ons of Them Is Willing to Have His
Income Reduced.
The bishop of Norwich, who Is this
year president of the Church Con
gress, has declared that episcopal
palaces are too large and too expen
sive to maintain, and that they
should he sold. "When taking pos
session of the bishop's palace at Nor
wich," he said, "I had to spend more
than $15,000, and It cannot be kept
up for less than 12,500 a year. If a
smaller residence were provided, my
stipend might be reduced by $5,000
a year."
The blahop of Norwich receives a
salary of $22,500 a year, which he is
willing to have reduced by $7,500.
This self-denying attitude of the
bishop is one of the chief unofficial
topics among delegates to the Church
Congress.
She Did Not Fear Death.
An old lady on her seventy-third
birthday once said, "I do not mind get
ting old, and I do not fear death, but
I live in constant dread of paralysis."
"For some time I have been want
ing to tell you ot the great good your
wonderful Sloan's Liniment is doing
here," writes Mr. James F. Aber
nethy, of Rutherford College, N. C.
"In fact, all your remedies are doing
noble work, but your liniment beats
all. In my eight years' experience
with medicine I find none to go ahead
of it, having tried it in very many
cases. I know ot one young man, a
brick mason, who suffered from a
partial, yes, almost complete, paraly
sis of one arm. I got him to use
your liniment, and now he can do as
much work as ever, and he sings
your praise every day. I get all to
use It I possibly can and know there
Is great virtue in It. I have helped
the sale of your noble remedies about
here greatly, and expect to cause
many more to buy .them, as I know
they can't be beat."

I had backache and

There Is more Catarrh in this section of

Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional trentment.

SKIN CURED IN A WEEK
After Buffering Six Months With Dis
figuring Red Spots and Pimples
Cleared Away by Cutlcura.
"Cuticurs Soap and Ointment art tha
greatest remedies for skin diseases on
earth. I have suffered six months from a
disease which I cannot describe, but I will
tell you the symptoms. My skin was full
of red spots and my face was full of red
pimples. It made life miserable for me
and I was discouraged with everything.
I went to several doctors, but it was use
less. I resolved to try the Cuticura Reme
dies, and after using them for about one
week I became a new man. The pimples
and the red spots have disappeared and
they made my skin as soft as velvet.

He set out the moment he reached
Keswick, and walked and tolled over
rocks and boulders. He could not
find the falls. He rested and asked
a native: "Can you direct me to the

answer. The falls of all the ad

Longest Year on Record.
The longest year on record was 46
B. C. Julius Caesar ordained that it
should have 445 days, and it did
everywhere within the Roman "sphere
of Influence."
To clear away all the confusion
which had previously existed in rec
onciling the lunar with the solar
year, Cnesar, with the help of Sosio
genes, an Alexandrian astronomer,
undertook a thorough reform of the
calendar.
He effectrl It by making the year
now called 46 B. C, "the year of con
fusion," consist of 445 days, and the
succeeding years of 365 days, with
the exception of every fourth year,
which was to consist of 366. This
method is called the Julian calendar.
