THE SOUTHERN VERANDA.
It Was Probably a Woman Who De
signed the Open Air Parior—
Revolutionized Architecture.
“Build me a veranda with a
house attachment,” said a rich
Georgian to his northern archi
tect, "that's what 1 want.” These
few words in the* brusque vernac
ular of tin* business man tersely
express the wishes of most south
ern house builders of the present
day, says tin* Architects and
Builders Magazine.
Ten years ago the ubiquitous
southern veranda, though often of
jreat length (especially in the old
fashioned white columned houses
when it often became a colonnade
extending around three sides of
a parallelogram), was usually nar
row. Some one, somewhere,
built a square veranda the size of
so average room. The chances are
it was a woman, the architect and
contractor of her own summer
bungalow. Women, as designers
of houses, are celebrated for their
disregard of precedent; their inde
pendence (if this is the proper
word) in the face of it. Without
the slightest compunction a wom
an will knock any architectural
rule of three into a cocked hat if
it happens to be in her way. Some
one saw the square veranda, liked
t and copied it. In a few years
time it was a fad. In the south
verandas are a necessity. The
idea of a square veranda, roomy,
furnished with all the luxurious
accessories of modern life, “open
air parlors,” as some one has hap
pily styled them, supplied an ac
tual demand. I’nlike most fads,
this one had common sense behind
it. and as a result has been influ
ential in revolutionizing building
styles that have obtained for cen
turies.
LIFE'S INCONSISTENCIES.
’'he Fashionable Doctor and the Wom
an with Weak Nerves—A
Spin in an Auto.
“Yes,” said the fashionable doc
lor, as he wrote out a prescrip
tion, according to the New York
Sun, ‘‘you have told me your symp
toms and I see you are troubled
with acute nervousness.”
“Oh,” wailed the fair patient,
“every little noise makes me jump,
every time a door creaks I start
like a person in danger. Hv the
way. hr. llicbarge, I'm just going
to take my motor car out for a
spin; I always run the machine
myself, you know. If you jump in,
I’ll leave you right at your door.”
Still explaining the sad condi
tion of her nerves, she drove th"
auto down t lie avenue at a rattling
clip. In and out of the tangle of
vehicles the jolting juggernaut
flew at 20 miles an hour.
The nervous wreck put on the
brakes and glanced casually at t he
mounted police who were gallop
ing far behind. The pale-faced
physician gasped.
“Here's your house,” said the
patient, sweetly. “I hope your
prescription will calm my poor,
weak nerves.”
NO RED-HEADED DOLLS.
Made in Marvelous Variety Other
wise, They Are All Blondes
or Brunettes.
“Dolls,” said a dealer in such
things, according to t he New York
Kun, “are made in marvelous va
riety. And yet there are no red
heads among them. Allareeither
blondes or brunettes.
“You never thought of this be
fore? Very likely not. But if you
look through any stock of dolls,
anywhere, you will lind it to be
true that there are no red headed
dolls.
“They might be made that way,
of course, if they were wanted, as
easily as they could be made with
blonde or with dark hair, but
there is no demand for them.”
An Animal Mirage.
In a speech before the curtain in a west
ern town a few nights ago Ezra Kendall
announced that he was writing a book of
information for "Rounders \\ ho Go the
Cocktail Route."
"Did you ever awaken in the morning,
he asked his hearers, “and see an animal
mirage? It is a dissolving caravan, with
everything in it from four paws to no
paws. The doctor says that my mirages
are caused from eating animal crackeis
when a child—and then preserving them in
alcohol us I grew up. —N. \. Times.
Might Have Been Worse.
“John!” whispered Mrs. Swackhammer,
hoarsely. “John, wake up! In the base
ment—hear them—they’re—they're work
ing in the basement-”
“Wh-wh-what!” gasped Swark. He
dived under the pillow and clutched h.s
pocketbook. “What is it?"
"Bb burglars!" chattered poor Mrs.
SwacEhaininer. “Don’t you hear them
“Aw. rats!" said Swaek as he lay down
and prepared for sleep again. “You scared
me nearly to death. I thought it was
plumbers.’’—San Francisco Bulletin.
A Boy’s Story.
Cross Roads, Warren Go.. Tenn.. May
2nd.—Orbra Young, the eleven-year-ola
son of Mr. Lester Young, of this place,
has never been a strong Iniy for almost
from his birth. He has suffered more or
less with a distressing Kidney Complaint.
Recently, however, he has appeared to be
growing stronger and better till, indeed,
to-day he is a splendid looking hearty lad.
He is a bright and very intelligent boy
and speaks of his former illness in this
way:
"I have been bothered with Kidney
Trouble nearly all my life. I was grad
ually growing worse and at last it got so
bad that I had to get up three or four
times every night. 1 commenced to use
a medicine called Dodd’s Kidney Pills and
in a short time 1 was better. Now 1 can
sleep all night without getting up and I j
feel well all the time. Dodd’s Kidney ■
Pills are a good reinedv, and I can’t help
but speak a good word for them.”

An Honest Hotel.
A Philadelphian recently returned from ■
Ireland tells the following story and
vouches for its veracity:
“I was in a remote part of the Green
Isle and was compelled to stay at a way
side mn during the night. Evidently the
place was not frequented by travelers to
any great extent, and my reception was
made a gala occasion. Before retiring I
placed my shoes outside of my room to
lie polished, according to the European
custom. In the morning I found mem as
1 left them. I informed the landlord that
I had put my boots out and that t.iey had
not been touched.
“ ‘Sure, sor." he replied, 'you cud lave
vur watch outside o’ your dour all night
in this house an’ they wouldn't be
touched.’ ”—Philadelphia Press.
SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.
“When I drank coffee I often had sick
headaches, nervousness and biliousness
much of the- time but about 2 years
ago I went to visit a friend and got
in the habit oi drinking Postum.
“I have never touched coffee since
and the result has been that I have
been entirely cured of ail my stomach
and nervous trouble.
“My mother was just the same way,
we all drink Postum now and have
never had any coffee in the house for
2 years and we are all well.
“A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an Invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything
at all where she would have to bend
forward. If she tried to do a little
hard work she would get such pains
that she would have to lie down for
the rest of the day.
“1 persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and she has used
Postum ever since; the result has
been that she can now do her work,
can sit for a whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side
in fact she has got well and it shows j
coffee was the cause of the whole j
trouble.
“I could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been cured 1
by quitting coffee and using Postum !
in its place.” Name given by Postum i

A VALUABLE PREPARATION,

Peruna has cured thousands of cases
of female weakness. As a rule, how
ever,before Peruna is resorted toseveral
other remedies have been tried in vain.
A great many of the patientshave taken
local treatment, submitted themselves
to surgical operations, and taken all
sorts of doctor's stuff, without any
result.
The reason of so many failures is the
fact that diseasespeeuliar to the female
sex are not common
ly recognized as be
ing caused by ea
tnrrh. These organs
are lined by mucous membranes. Any
mucous membrane is subject to catarrh.
Catarrh of one organ is exactly the
same as catarrh of any other organ.
What will cure catarrh of the head will
also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs.
Peruna cures these cases simply because
it cures the catarrh.
Most of the women afflicted with pel

vie diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh isa dis
ease confined to the head alone.
Tliis is not true. Catarrh is iiable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
covery after a long siege of useless treat
ment. She has made the discovery that
I her disease is catarrh, and that l’cruna
jean be relied upon to cure catarrh
j wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt andsatis
I factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr Hartman, giving a
full statement of your ease, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
