I Recommend Pe-ru-na.
MR. EDWARD M. BURTT, 5 N. .Tef
ferson Ave.. St. Louis. .Mo., writes:
“It affords me much pleasure to an
nounce that I have used your medicine
at various times for several years, and
that it lias given entire satisfaction, not
only in my own family, hut also that of
others of my friends. And would clieer
fally recommend the use of Peruna, as
1 eertainly do endorse your medicine.”
Catarrh of Head, Nose, Throat.
Mr. Charles Levy, 80 Allen St., New
York, N. Y., writes;
“I am very glad to tell you of the
cures wrought by Peruna in my family.
“.My son. aged seven, who had ca
tarrh of the nose, was cured by two
bottles of Peruna, and I had catarrh of
the head, nose, throat and ears. One
bottle of Peruna cured me.”
Pe-ru-na Tablets:—Some people prefer
tablets, rather than medicine in a fluid
form. Such people can obtain Peru*
na Tablets, which represent the solid
medicinal ingredients of Peruna.

Mean Revenge,
A man had been very badly treated
by the proprietors of a boarding
house, and when in temporary finan
cial difficulties had been forced to
leave. Some rime later, smiled upon
by fickle fortune, he achieved success
and prosperity as a popular dentist,
and soon found means to revenge his
former landlady's slight. The method
be adopted was simple but extremely
effective, quite ruining the business of
his enemy. Directly opposite the
boarding house he opened his new
dental establishment, and upon the
largest window in bold letters ap
peared the following notice: ‘‘Steel
pointed boarding house teeth a spe<
cialty!”
Served Accordingly.
At a men's cafe one night a young
American—a barber—fell in with an
"Englishman. The latter was berating
the Yankees for doing all manner of'
business in their shops and not follow
ing the better English plan of sticking
to one branch.
The next day he swaggered into the
barber shop to be shaved. The barber
gave his face an extra good soaping
and left him, at the same time seating
himself to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a
few minutes, when, seeing his attend
ant reading, he blurted out: “Why
don't you shave me, sir?”
“You will have to go* up the street
for your shave,” quietly replied the
barber. “We only lather here.”
DOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.
The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
i was a heavy meat eater,” writes
an Ills, man, ‘and up to two years
ago. was in very poor health. I suf
fered with indigestion so that I only
weighed 95 pounds.
‘ Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when 1 gained to 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
“Mow she is fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours, 08 years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was a heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says
lie is well and never has indigestion.
1 could name a lot of persons who
have really been cured of indigestion
by changing from a heavy meat diet
to Grape-Nuts.” “There's a Reason."

“You are not looking very jolly on
Christmas day,” observed the girl in
brown. “Were your gifts chiefly hair
receivers and silver thimbles, or were
they so expensive that you are wonder
ing how you can ever return them next
year?”
“N—not exactly,” replied the girl in
green. “I—”
"Oh, you should see Alice,” broke in
the girl in brown; “She looks as happy
as the girl who has got rid of the coat
of tan she cultivated at the seashore
last summer. She—”
“I don’t know whether or not she
received many presents, but she has
one which seems to make her perfect
ly happy. It is—”
“I am sorry to hear it. If that girl
got her deserts she would spend the
holidays with the dentist. She—well,
you know I have seen a good deal of
Alice lately. You know we just had
to be intimate, since Rob was dividing
his attentions pretty equally between
us.”
“M’h’m; otherwise people might
fancy you were jealous of each other.”
“Jealous of Alice, the idea! How
ever, I had to watch her. You never
know what a girl with her saintly ex
pression is saying of you behind your
back. You know that Rob is sort of
r
1
literary, and he tallcs about books
most of the time. Well, Alice is so
deceitful that she pretends she, too, is
literary. I hate deceit.”
“But how do you manage to keep up
the conversation when he—”
“Rob prefers a conversation in which
the otlier'party is a listener, dear. Of
course I told him when we first met
that I dearly love to read.”
“Oh, well, I don't know a girl any
where who reads as many fashion
magazines as you.”
“M’h’m. Well, I knew that Bob
meant to make me a handsome Christ
mas gift this year, aud-er-perhaps add
himself to it.”
“But how—”
“Have you never heard of feminine
intuition, dear? Consequently 1 just
mentioned to him the fact that I am
collecting turquoises. I knew by the
way he changed the subject that he
had taken the hint and thought it ac
cidental.”
“Oh—h; do show me—”
“He asked if I was fond of Thacke
ray. I said I doted on him; I'd have
said I doted on white mice if he had
confessed a fondness for them—I was
so happy. Well, yesterday I dropped
In at Alice's. I found her in the
library; she seemed nervous and I
stayed to find the reason.”
“And did—”
“She asked if I did not consider a
set of Thackeray the nicest Christmas
gift a man could make to a girl—a girl
he liked very much? I replied, ‘Yes—
if the girl had saffron hair and eyes
which were located at right angles!’ ”
“And she—”
“She replied. Oh, she was in earn
est; she knew a man who meant to
give a lucky girl just such a set. Then
she intimated that he intended to hint
his hope that the set would soon be
housed under his own roof.”
“But who—”
“1 said, yes, the girl was lucky if
she had a genius for martyrdom; that
the man who would make a girl such
a gift would be the man who would
expect his wife to prefer a subscrip
tion to a magazine to a new tailor
made frock and an addition to the
library to a trip to Palm Beach!”
“Good! I’m glad you said—”
"I'm not myself, dear. Rob was in
the next room and heard every word.
Alice had helped him to select a
Christmas gift for me, and when I
came in she told him to wait while
she met me in the library, so he could
hear my cries of delight when I heard
of the selection! Did you ever know
such an unmitigated cat!”
“Gracious—never!” cried the girl in
brown. “I didn’t tell you, did I, that
the gift which so delighted Alice was
a set of Thackeray? Rob was there
and Alice’s mother stopped me in the
hall, as I went out, to ask the ad
dress of the dressmaker who made
Mabel’s trousseau.”

RATHER A POINTED REBUKE,
Minister’s Amendment to Usual Grace
Fitted Circumstances.
A Pennsylvania divine formed one
of a house-party in Philadelphia
where the younger son, in accordance
with what the clergyman observed to
be his constant habit, as soon as he
had seated himself at breakfast im
mediately possessed himself of a large
slice of bread, the quality of which he
proceeded to test by a liberal mouth
ful.
The minister, a stickler in such mat
ters of propriety, gazed blandly at
him for a moment or so; then he fold
ed his hands and closed his eyes in
preparation for grace.
“For what we are about to receive,”
he intoned with painful emphasis,
"and for what our young friend has
already received, Lord, make us truly
thankful.”—Harper’s Weekly.
ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suf
fered Untold Misery—Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
“My son, who is now twenty-two
yeears of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. I used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last I decided to try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery. I
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he was well.

One Thing Held Him Back.
“There was a racket of some kind
in our house last night,” said the man
who lives in a flat building. “Screams
came from one of the rear flats and
everybody was looking out the win
dows to see what the matter could be.
Various exclamations and conjectures
were made by the rubbernecks and
soon several women were screaming
in sympathy. Presently out of the
awfuj din rose a deep masculine voice
exclaiming in exasperation and with
the manner of one feeling around in
the dark: “I’d go for a policeman if
I could find my pants!”

his mother gave him when he was
starting off with fc's father for a

opening his bag in spite of his assur
ances that it held all a boy could pos
sibly require. “Why, Bobbie, where
is your hairbrush? You were forget

"No, mother, I wasn’t forgetting it,”
said Bobby, looking desperate. “I

Where Others Failed.
“Each spring for five or six years I
broke out with a kind of Eczema
which nothing seemed to relieve per
manently. Finally I tried a box of
Hunt’s Cure, which promptly cured
me. Two years have passed by, but the
trouble has not returned.”
MRS. KATE HOWARD,

How He Did It.
Early in the morning session, when
the pupils were feeling bright and
happy, the teacher thought it a good |
plan to give them sentences to cor
rect, both as to grammar and sense.
She accordingly wrote on the black
board:
“The hen has four legs. He
done it.”
Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the
foot of the class, pondered deeply, and
at the end of 13 minutes’ time, allowed
for correction, he wrote:
“He didn't done it; God done it.”
This Is No Joke.
Hunt’s Cure has saved more people
from the “Old Scratch” than any other
known agent, simply because it makes
scratching entirely unnecessary. One
application relieves any form of itch
ing skin disease that 'ever afflicted
mankind. One box guaranteed to cure
any one case.
