A PRETTY MILKMAID
Thinks Pe-ru-na Is a Wonderful
Medicine,
I V 1
MISS ANNIE HENDREN. i v
TWTlSS ANNIE IIENDREN, Rocklyn,
Wash., writes:
“ I feel better than I have for over
four years. I have taken several bottles
of 1’eruna anil one bottle of Manalin.
“ I can now do all of my work in the
house, milk the cows, take care of the
milk, and so forth. / think Peruna Is
a most wonderful medicine.
“ 1 believe I would be in bed to-day
if I had not written to you for advice.
I had taken all kinds of medicine, but
noue did me any good.
“Peruna has made me a well and
happy girl. 1 can never say too much
for Peruna.”
Not only women of rank and leisure
praise Peruna, but the wholesome, use
ful women engaged in honest toil
would not be without Dr. Hartman’s
world renowned remedy.
The Doctor lias prescribed it for many
thousand women every year and he
never fails to receive a multitude of let
ters like the above, thanking him for
his advice, and especially for the won
t^erful benefits received from Peruna.
FIRE THE BEST FILTER.
If Water Really Is to Be Purified,
There Is Only One Way
to Do It.
“All this talk about the need of fil
ters, about people dying for lack of
filtered water, amuses me,” said a
chemist. “For filtered water isn't
necessarily pure water. Boiled water
is 100 times better.
“A filter, you see, does not free
water from tilings dissolved in it, bul
only from things floating in it. For
instance, if you mix a quart of whisky
in a gallon of water and then filter
the mixture, it will come out color
less, the floating color particles hav
ing been left behind, but this color
less fluid will be quite as capable of
intoxicating you now as it was before,
for none of its dissolved alcohol will
have disappeared.
“So with water that is polluted with
sewage. All the undissolved portions
of the sewage are removed by filtra
tion. and the water is left clear, taste
less and odorless; but the dissolved
sewage is still present, and in it may
lurk billions of typhoid germs.
“Let those who complain about the
lack of filters just turn in and boil
their water. A cent’s worth of fire
will purify a gallon of water better
than a $10,000,000 filter plant could
do it.”
The Cape Colony authorities have
been petitioned to set apart a “poets’
corner” in the cathedral at Capetown.
BACK TO PULPIT.
;What Food Did for a Clergyman.
A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
hack to his pulpit: “Some 5 years ago
1 had an attack of what seemed to he
La Grippe which left me in a com
plete state of collapse and I suffered
for some time with nervous prostra
tion. My appetite failed, I lost flesh
till I was a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me. I lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
“Then on the recommendation of
some friends I began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time I was a mis
erable skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi
tion to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
“I finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed 1 could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After I had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time I discovered that I was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; I had
lost some 50 pounds, but under the
■new food regime I have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
“1 feel that I owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich, A true natural road to
regain health, or hold it, is by. use
of a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream
morning and night. Or have the food
made into some of the many delicious
dishes given in the little recipe book
found in pkgs.
Ten days’ trial of Grape-Nuts helps
many. “There’s a reason.”

Jealous Husband
Gave Clue
"It is generally the duty of a post
office inspector to solve the mystery
of a robbery of mail without a single
clew to begin with,” said Inspector in
Chief Letfierman to a Boston Globe
writer.
"The recent finding of a mail pouch
destined for Newton, but reaching
the waters of the harbor, with the
letters gone, is a case in point. I re
member when I was an inspector at
Cincinnati I was called out by tele
gram to unravel the mystery of a lost
pouch containing valuable mail.
"I reached the town late in the
evening, and hunted up the postmas
ter, who was a prominent politician
and a man of high standing. He told
me there was absolutely no clew to
the pouch, which should have arrived
at 11:15 p. m. the night before and
did not. He said, however, that a city
officer had said to him that if some
one talked with a certain woman some
information might be secured.
“This woman, it was said, would
witness a parade next morning from
a window in the office of a business
company, and a description of her
was furnished. Just before the pa
rade I went to the street number des
ignated, but saw no one answering
the description at any of the windows.
“There was a lady, very refined and
well dressed, wearing the same sort
of a coat and furs, standing on t’,ie
curb, but it did not seem possible that
she could know anything about the
robbery. Still, as a matter of duty,
I moved beside her and handed her
my card.
"She did not glance at it, but turned
her face away. I then asked when the
parade started. She made no reply,
but turned and walked away. I fol
lowed at a distance, and saw her en
ter one of the richest homes.
"I went back, thinking I had been
deceived, and saw at the window the
woman who had been described to me.
I walked into the crowd around the
windows and handed her my card.
‘I cannot talk to you here, but come
to my house to-night,’ she said, ‘this
is the address.’
“I called that evening, and found
the place was not the most aristo
cratic in the world. Far from it.
"She chatted for a time, and then,
becoming friendly, asked me if I
could get a money order for $50
cashed for her. I told her I thought
I could and would see the postmas
ter about it.
"I took the order, and the next
morning satisfied myself that it did
not belong to her, and, furthermore,
that it was in a letter sent in the
missing pouch.
“I went back to the house to see
her about it, and asked where she
got it. She said a man who owed
her some money had sent it to her.
I told her if it was all right it would
be paid the next day, and changed
the subject. At length she asked
me if I would drink a glass of ale
and started down to the cellar to
get some. As an excuse when she
was half down stairs I offered to
help her, and started down. ‘You
must not come down here—my hus
band will not like it,’ she said, but
I kept on down.
i ne ceiiar was miea with plun
der—haras by the score, boxes and
packages of all kinds, and one box
opened at one end exposed two or
three silk parasols. I asked her
what the collection meant, and she
said her husband was going to open
a store and had been collecting mer
chandise.
“She pledged me not to tell, as
he had not resigned his position yet,
and did not want it known that he
was going into business for himself
until he got all prepared.
"I had heard of the pillaging of
freight cars when I first came to
town, but as I was not on that er
rand I made no further remarks.
The next day bunches of looted mail
began to come into the post office,
picked up by citizens. It was found
under board sidewalks, in store boxes
and out of the way corners.
"The mail had all been opened and
rifled, but the letters were in the en
velopes. On my next visit to the
lady’s house she showed me four silk
handkerchiefs she said she had re
ceived, as a present, and asked me
what I thought they were worth.
“The next visit resulted in a full
confession of all she knew about the
robbery. She had an admirer who
gave her the order to be cashed and
the handkerchiefs.
“The husband was suspicious of
him, and gave the slight tip to the
postmaster. I learned that the ad
mirer was employed at a livery sta
ble and slept in the loft, that he was
in the habit of hitching up for the
man who had the contract for carry
ing the night mails from the trains
to the post office, and that the two
were very chummy,
“I went to the stable and was told
the employe was asleep in the loft.
1 took an officer with me. We had to
go up a ladder. There was nothing
in sight in the loft but a pile of hay.
but I noticed a tunnel in it. I
reached in, got hold of a dog and
quickly withdrew my hand. We then
took a fork and turned over the hay,
and at the end of the tunnel found
the man we were looking for.
“He confessed that day. He told
us where the pouch was hidden, and
we found it. He proved to be an ex
convict from a neighboring state. He
got five years and the mail wagon
driver got three, and all I had to go
on was a little tip from a jealous
j husband.

UNABLE. I O WALK.,
Terrible Sore on Ankle Caused Awful
Suffering—Could Not Sleep—Cured
by Cuticura in Six Weeks.
“I had a terrible sore on my ankle,
and had not walked any for eleven
months. I tried nearly everything
without any benefit and had a doctor,
but he didn’t seem to do any good.
He said I would have to have my limb
taken off, and that I would never walk
again. I suffered awful, and at night
I could not sleep at all. I thought
there was no rest for me, but as soon
as I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment it commenced healing nice
ly. I bathed the ankle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, and then ap
plied Cuticura Ointment to the affect
ed part, and laid a cloth over the sore
to hold it in place. After two weeks
I could walk around in my room real
good, and in sfct weeks’ time my ankle
was entirely cured, and I was walking
around out of doors. Mrs. Mary Dick

TheWinning Stroke
If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
5 game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea
sonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to
the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever
pleasant Syrup of FigsT manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system
effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant
after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal
organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance,
without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in
any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious
nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in
the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to
act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met
with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well
worth considering in making purchases.
It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size
■n only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the

FROG WAS TO BLAME
Weather Prophet Had Simply Put
Faith Where He Believed He
Had a Right.
James Wilson, the secretary of agri
culture, was discussing an antiquated
kind of farming.
"It is about as profitable and logi
cal," he said, “as the weather reading
of a Connecticut farmhand I used to
know.
"This farmhand claimed that he
could read the weather infallibly. On
a walk with me one afternoon a frog
croaked, and he said:
“ ‘We will have„elear weather for 24
hours. When a frog croaks in the
afternoon you may be sure of 24 hours
of sunshine.’
“We walked on, and in 20 minutes
or so a heavy shower came up and we
were both drenched to the skin.
“ ‘You are a fine weather prophet,’
said I, as we hurried homeward
through the downpour. 'You ought to
be ashamed of yourself.’ •
“ ‘O. we!!,’ said the farmhand, ‘the
frog lied. It’s to blame, not me. Am
I responsible for the morals of that
particular frog?’ ”
