Writes : “ Three Years Age) My System

Owe to Pe-ru-na My Restoration to
Health and Strength
TWTlSS RICK A LEOPOLD, 187 Main
street, Menasha, Wis., Sec'y Lied
erkranz, writes :
“Three years ago my system was in
a terrible run-down condition and 1 was
broken out all over my body. I began
to be worried about my condition and I
was glad to try anything which would
relieve me.
•‘Peruna was recommended to me as
a fine blood remedy and tonic, and I
soon found that it was worthy of praise.
“A few bottles changed my condition
materially and in a short time 1 was
all over my trouble.
“ I owe to Peruna my restoration to
health and strength. I am glad to en
dorse it.”
Pe-ru-na Restores Strength.
Mrs. Ilettie Green. Tt. R. 0. Tuka. 111.,
writes: “I had catarrh and feltmisera
ble. I began the use of Peruna and
began to improve in every way. My
head does not hurt me so much, my
appetite is good and I am gaining in
flesh and strength.”
True friends seldom come in

Saved Him.
“It didn't kill me, but I think it
would if it had not been, for Hunt's
Cure. I was tired, miserable and
well-nigh used up when I commenced
using it for an old and severe case
of Eczema. One applieaiion relieved
and one box cured me.

any form of itching known to man

to much as an actual worker.
Good Colors for Houses.
It is not generally known—not even
among painters—why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in a recent bonk,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect a
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, tbe warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. la choosing
the color of paint for your house, -elect
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon ), cold greens (like
grass green, etc.), and the blues.
It must lie understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves.- irre
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off. if adulterated white lead
or canned paint i- used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead—some
well-known brand of a reliable manufac
turer—and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.
Small Profits of Pawnshops.
Consul General George VV. Roose
velt reports that the official report of
the Brussels pawnshop for 1903 shows
a capital employed of $387,181 and
profits made during the year of only
$4,9G6. The amount of loans on pawns
was $1,253,173. In 1904 the amount
loane-d exceeded the amount for 1905
by about $90,500.
Chinese Ingenuity.
Many attempts have been made to
find an unfailing supply of pearls. The
Chinese, it is said, have solved in
their own way the problem of how to
make a mussel “lay” pearls. Five or
six small beads, made of mother-of
pearl and strung together by a thread,
are dropped at the proper season into
the open mouth of tne shell. Two
years later the mussel, when recov
eredfi is made to disgorge the beads,
now covered with a pearly crust, in
distinguishable from the naturally
made pearl.
WHEN BUD DID
DD HIS WORK
*JP.ud Sammons, who flagged for
Charley Corey, was a good fellow,”
said the fat engineer, "but the work
germ didn't seem to get set right
in his breabt and Bud was always
shirkin' little odd chores, which was
continually gettin’ him in trouble.
‘‘One night when Charley's fast
freight was runnin’ ahead of No. 12
they had to stop up on the curve by
Joy's woods to cool some hotboxes.
Accordin' to the rules 'n' ethics of the
railroad game it was up to Bud to take
his red lanterns, walk back 37 tele
graph poles 'n' protect his train.
"I guess Bud thought they would
gei goin’ again in a minute. At any
rate, he didn't take the trouble to go
back, ’n' with a rush 'n‘ a roar No.
12 came Ilyin’ along ’n’ made a noise
like a bad accident against the rear
end of Corey's train
“When they got things straightened
out a bit they found Bud Sammons
layin’ in a heap under the platform
of the caboose, dead. His indifference
to a little bit of work had cost him
his life.
“A few nights after that I w'as
cornin’ east with No. 12, makin’ the
fast time for which I am noted, when
on the track ahead of me, up by Joy’s
woods, 1 saw a little yellow circle of
light, ’n’ in the center of this cir
cle a man was wavin’ his arms over
his head, all possessed. Rememberin'
the accident to No. 12, I immediately
gave two answerin’ toots on the whis
tle, shut off steam ’n’ slowed up pre
paratory to stoppin’.
“I declare to man, when ive got
down near to the circle it faded 'n'
disappeared. I couldn't see any trace
of the man who was signalin’ me to
stop. I felt as foolish as a hen wrhen
she finds out she's been settin’ on
white doorknobs.
“When I got ’em goin' again, Mur
phy stepped over to my elbow ’n’
said, in an awed voice:
" 'Did you see it?’
“ Sure, I says. ‘What was it?’
“ Why,’ he says, 'that’s Bud Sam
mons' sperrit as sure as I ever put
a scoopful of coal on a fire, i sup
pose Bud's sperrit got to worryin' over
the accident caused by his careless
ness 'n' just can’t keep away from
the railroad track.’
“ ‘A brace of poohs for yours,’ says
I. 'Who ever heard tell of such a
thing?’
"The thing appeared to more than
one crew, nevertheless, ’n’ little knots
of the boys whenever they got togeth
er in the bunkrooms ’n’ roundhouses
would get to discussin’ it. One of ’em
would say:
“ Sure enough I saw it with my
two eyes ’n’ I just passed the color
blind examination, too.’
“An’ the word was passed aroun’
that strange noises could be heard
emanatin’ from Joy’s woods by any
one who had sand entmgh to stop ’n’
listen.
"Well, sir, the boys were gettin’ all
wrought up ’n’ it was sure up to
somebody to get adjacent to what was
goin' on there in the vicinity of Joy’s
woods.
“On my next trip coinin’ through on
No. 12 I was just hittin’ up there
for all I was worth by Joy’s woods,
but just as we came aroun' the curve
there was Bud's shadow on the job
goin’ through his calisthenics. I
looked at my watch to see if my po
sition as to the time card would ad
mit of me stoppin' for a spiritual
seance ’n’ settle the thing then ’n’
there.
“With a sigh, perhaps of regret, or
i suppose some knockers would call
it a sigh of relief, I saw that we
were ten minutes late ’n’ couldn't
stand any tamperin’ with shades. I
bad just made this decision, put on
more steam, not to hurry by the
haunted spot, oh, no, just merely to
make up time, when z-i-p, the air
brakes were set from some cause 'n'
we came to a slop in a circle of such
bright light that it blinded me.
“When I got so I could see I burst
right out laughin’. The mystery of
Bud Summon’ ghost was solved.
“What I saw in front of me through
an openin’ in the trees was a negro
camp mcetin’ with the leader stand
in’ up on a platform in front of a big
row of bright lights, the colored
brethren in the congregation a-groan
in’ ’n’ goin’ on accordin’ to the ex
tent they were moved by the spirit.
When the wind was in the right direc
tion it would blow the limbs of the
trees apart ’n’ the bright lights be
hind the leader of the camp meetin’
threw his shadow out over the track.
"Of course as he warmed up in the
workout he threw his arms up ’n’
down over his head, makin’ many
fancy shadows out on the railroad
track. When the wind died down ’n’
the limbs stopped movin’ the shadow
would be shut out. Altogether it had
a will-o’-the-wisp effect.
"An air brake hose had burst, caus
in’ our train to stop, but we soon got
things straightened out ’n’ were away
from the camp meetin’ grounds. The
ghost was settled, however, ’n’ I hope
it will be a spell before we have an
other scare, as it's rackin’ on my
nerves."—N. Y. Sun.
Whitewashed by Motor Car.
The Central London railway has
adopted an ingenious method of white
washing and cleansing its tunnels.
They have fitted a motor car with a
tank of about COO gallons’ capacity,
from which whitewish is forced by an
electrically driven pump through a
series of pipes arranged upon a frame
at the end of the car. As the car trav
ils along the tunnel a spray of white
wash is driven upon the roof and sides.
The Laxative
There are two classes of remedies; those of known qnal
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting;
gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that
M it w ill cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really
jfy represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
/ containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer
imitations of the

How to Beautify th*
Origin of Knighthood.
Knighthood was intended to serve
as a mark of distinction for deeds of
renown and merit. "Knight1’ properly
signifies a person who, for his virtue
and martial prowess, is raised from
the rank of gentleman into a higher
class of dignity and honor.
Washington, D. C., August 20th.—A
determined effort will be made at the
next session of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds.
Congress now expends $2-42,000 a year
in giving away the commonest varie
ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
40.000,000 packets so that the packets
cost about half a cent each. Hut as
a large part of the appropriation is
expended in clerk hire, paeketing the
seed, etc., the actual value of the
seed in a packet is much less than
half a cent. These packets are put
up in packages of five packets, the
total cost of the packages being- about
two cents each, and they are purchas
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member of congress gets 12,000 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters of his district.
The farmers say that these pack
ages contain so little seed as to be of
no value to them, while the total ap
propriation, if expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed, or
in maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be of im
mense value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended $5,000,000 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, it
is time it should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest.
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this perquisite of its |
members now used for political pur- ]
poses, are writing their senators and !
representatives, urging them to abol- j
ish the free seed distribution, and the |
Xational Grange, many state and local j
granges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso- j
lutions condemning it. Mr. William !
Wolff Smith, of Washington, D. C., has
been selected to represent the oppo
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer
ing all inquiries concerning-the same.
