HAPPY AND HEALTHY.
A Beautiful Canadian Girl Saved From
Catarrh of the Lungs by Pe-ru-na.
MISS FLORENCE KENAH.
Miss Florence E. Kenah, 484 Maria street, Ottawa, Ont., writes :
“A few months ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my
lungs and remained there so persistently that 1 became alarmed. I
took medicine without benefit, until my digestive organs became
upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently.
•‘I was advised to try Peruna, and although 1 had little faith 1
felt so sick that 1 was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed
relief at once, and I felt that 1 had the right medicine at last. Within
three weeks / was completely restored and have enjoyed perfect
health since.
“ 1 now have the greatest faith in Peruna."
F. E. KENAH.
\YTOMEN should beware of contraet
** ing catarrh. The cold wind and
rain, slush and mud of winter are espe
cially conducive to catarrhal derange
ments. Few women escape.
Upon the first symptoms of eatehing
cold Peruna should betaken. It forti
fies the system against colds and ca
tarrh.
The following letter gives one young
■woman's experience with Peruna:
Miss Rose Qerbing is a popular society
woman of Crown Point, Ind., and she
writes the following:
“Recently I took a long drive in the
country, and being too thinly clad I
caught a bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which I could not seem to
shake off. I had heard a great deal of
Peruna for colds and catarrh and I

Find Their S|ioke*racii,
Jn recognizing our duty to provide
roniiium school education for thu
masses and manual and industrial ed
ucation for those for whom such edu
cation may be best, let, us not sup
pose that we may abandon the study
of the pure sciences, the languages,
the higher forms of literature, his
tory, or the divine philosophy which
unites all other arts and sciences in
the one great art of living. These
must ever inspire and guide and
quicken all other studies and arts.
There must lu- great leaders and di
rectors- interpreters of the tenden
cies, thoughts and aspirations of Ihe
people—men and women able to see
the present in the light of the past,
and to divine the future. A people
must have rulers and teachers and
prophets. The greater the people the
more complex their life, the’freer
their institutions, the greater the
need for these and tin* greater their
responsibilities. Our future leaders
must know the roots of the
World Tree; they must have
drunk deeply from the Ancient Mi
niir's well. Our toiling millions must
find a voice. They must have spokes
men who can g'ive their message to
the world and record it for posterity.
Indeed, we must have some great
universities with endowments for
equipment, teaching and living that
will enable those who will and can
do so to advantage to withdraw from
the mill of active, productive life and
the grind of lesson hearing, that they
mny listen to the still small voices
and weigh the finer problems of exist
ence, catching new inspiration of life
for a world otherwise soon straying
and dying in the dust and din ol
trade. Our institutions of church and
state must be preserved and refined
and constantly adjusted anew to tli*

that come from broad knowledge and

these tasks.—Atlantic Educational

The illiteracy among; 1 lie native

over for .several states is shown by
tlie following figures. It will be seen
that the illiteracy among this ohiss
of people in the southern states is
many times greater than illiteracy
among' the same class in other sec
tions. For example the illiteracy
among the native white population of
Texas, where the per cent, is smaller
than in any other southern state, is
just 12 times as great as it is in the
state of Washington, while in .Missis
sippi it is 10 times as great and in
North Carolina 29 times as great. In
South Carolina the per cent, is 17
times as great as in ( onneeticut, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska or
Wyoming; in Tennessee 12 times as
great as in New York, Michigan or
Wisconsin. In Texas 6.1 per cent, of
the native white population ten years
old and over can neither read nor
write; in Mississippi, S per cent.; in

CHARACTER INDEPENDENCE.
The Way to Minin It is Through
Kiluention That Knows, Sees
and Does Things.
There is every needful reason to
justify such an adjustment of our
school system that every child may
begin with the alphabet or bis primer
to learn also some if the easy ami
productive uses for which the Creator
gave him his eyes and ears, his hands
and feet. By instructing him in the
use of these natural implements of
production upon the raw material of
Ids immediate environment he will
learn that Cod made nothing for folly
or waste, lie will come to feel that
work is worthy, ennobling and protit
able. He will come from the work
shop of the school to take an effect
ive position in the workshops of the
world without feeling that he has de
scended from the “heights of Homer”
to the eoallieaps of Caliban.
The south is to be redeemed by her
own sons and daughters to an inde
pendence of character, economies and
power that will make her ashamed
and fearful in Hie face of no rival.
The way to that safety and su
premacy lies through the school room
and the power of it will come from
the dynamics of such schools ns are
advocated by President Branson and
are being exploited by the Georgia
Federation.---Atlanta Constitution.

out It.
It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest oriler are neces
sary to enable ihe best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for world-wide
preeminence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commendation, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet tlie requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per
fect order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin
ative principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre
sented in the form of a pleasant and re
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi
cian who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys
tem he will tell you that it is the best
of family laxatives, because it is sim
ple and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tle, because it gives general satisfac
tion, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold in original pack
ages onlyr; the name of the remedy—
Syrup of Figs and also the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.
—printed on the front of every package, jv

An amusing story is told of the editor of
a go-ahead London evening newspaper, who,
in the eternal rushing to press to get
ahead of the opposition, was constantly im
pressing upon iiis reporters the necessity
for condensing ail news.
A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place on board a big ship Ijing at Ports
mouth.
"Get down there as hard a« you can.-’
he said to one of his men. “If you catch
the 11:40 from London bridge you'll be
there soon after two and can just wire
us something for the fifth edition, but boil
it down.”
And the reporter went. Soon after two
o'clock that afternoon they got a wire from
him.
