Tiro Pcruna Medlclno Co., Columbus, Ohio :
Gentlemen- "I cannot speak too highly of the value of Pcruna.
I believe that I owe my life to Its wonderful merits. I suffered
with catanh of the head and lungs In Its worst form, until the
doctors fairly gave me up, and I despaired of ever getting well
again.
"I noticed your advertisement and the splendid testimonials
given by the people who had been cured by Pcruna, and
determined to try a bottle. I felt but little better, but used a
second and third bottle and kept on improving slowly.
"It took six bottles to cure me, but they were worth a King's
ransom to me. I talk Peruna to all my friends and am a true
believer in its worth. " Mrs. Col. E. J. Oresham.

Pretty Hat Embellishments.
Largo-sized silk cord Is something
entirely now in lint trimmings and Is
most effective. A dark blue felt toque,
is trlmmod with bluo silk cord of a
much lighter shndo. This cord Is
wound soveral times around tho
crown and looped and knotted at 'one
side, tho ends being brought together
and fastened with a shaded bluo ca
bochon In the center of tho looping.
Sllvor cord and cabochons form an
effective trimming on white felt and
black velvet hats respectively. Sliver
soutacho braid Is sewed to velvet or
satin ribbon, and with half of tho mid
dle, or the edges, of tho ribbon left
plain, Is then used for bands and flat
bows. Sliver and gold gauze ribbons
are used for hat bindings.
Furs as Trimmings.
Furs ns trimmings are charming.
Tho best skating frocks will show
trimmings of sable, mink and even
ermine; tho latter especially Is very
costly. Tho cream and white cloths
and corduroy velvet now in vogue
aro vastly Improved by an edging of
mink or sable, though martin-tall Is a
good substitute. It Is In skating
frocks that wo shall boo the most
perfect specimens of tho short skirt;
It Is at Its boat cut with a somewhat
full frill round the feet, which assists
In giving that graceful swing that
makes skatlug such a pretty pastime.
Russian Coat.
Walking suits made with long coats
In Russian stylo aro essentially smart
as well as serviceable and aro well
adapted to the long-haired materials
of the season. This ono is mado of
gray zibollne with figures of white
and combines tho Russian coat with a
plain flvo-gored skirt. The coat Is a
specially desirable one and includes
tho wide sleeves that mean comfort
aB well as style, while tho skirt Is cut

Visiting Costume.
A soft shade of dark green cloth
with velvet of a slightly darker tint
Is used for this visiting costume. The
pretty belted eton has a double rever
effect carried out In velvet with cloth
appliques and in cloth with velvet ap
pliques. Persian lamb being Inserted
In each motif. These revers ard
broadly pointed over the shoulers.
Tho sleoves are of velvet with scal
loped points beneath, while lingerie
ruffles of pllsso chiffon fall over the
hand. Tho skirt Is plain, tho only
trimming being tho appliques of vel
vet and fur, such as appear on tho
eton. The whlto beaver hat Is strapped
with broad gold braids and the long
plume In white shados to pink and
jacqueminot at tho tip.
Slmplllcty In Girls' Clothes.
Fashions for young girls should be
always dainty nnd simple. It Is very
bad taste for a school girl to wear
elaborately trimmed clothos or drosses
that are beyond her years. There are
styles and materials she can wear nt
the school ago that would bo impossi
ble In after years, and if ohe doos not
tako advantage of them they aro lost
to ker forever.

nro also pressed Into service for
dressy wear by combining them with
black or white blouses, and subdu

Tucked blouses or shirt waists arc

in tho new washable fabrics as well as
In wool nnd silk wnlstlngs. Tho model
8iiowu is a special

aro tho latest one3 with full puffs at

Tho model Is made of pine green peau
de cynge with collar and cuffs of vel

Tho waist consists of the fitted lin

with the box plait that Is separate

A soft, white, clinging goods known
as slcilienno, very popular this year,
Is cleverly used In a debutante's cos
tume. Tho corsage Is arranged with
a handkerchief yoke and' bertha,
heavy laco being employed, and the
tucked slcilienno blouses slightly Into
the white silk crush belt of girdle
shape. The goods is tucked on tho
slioulders and wherever else the laco
parts to show it. The sleeves also
aro tucked to the elbows; the fullness
is allowed to puff and tho lower part
of the sleeve Is of lace which matches
in kind the bertha and yoke. A flar
ing cuff is tho finishing feature o( the
Blceve. Tho skirt falls In graceful
folds and shows considerable of a
train. In design tho skirt offers a
striking novelty, being built In flvo
sections, the horizontal tucks con
cealing the Joinings. Kach section
has Its own tucking which keeps tho
skirt In complete harmony with tho
tucked waist. The hip yoke Is a
shirred puff and the drop skirt has
several flounces, the upper rufllo be
ing of chiffon and making a fluffy fin
ish for tho pretty skirt. Naturally
nothing heavier than whlto silk and
chiffon should be allowed to go under
all this daintiness.
Pretty Teagown.
Tho teagown Is quite as elaborate
in its way as the dinner toilet and may
bo Indeed called the "picture" frock.
Exquisite was ono of softest pearl
gray satin, with a broad "empire" band

with falling corners of lace.
Rose Petticoats.
A very beautiful whim of tho girl
who does not consider expense is to
line pale-tinted cloths gray, biscuit
color, silver-blue and oyster shell
with "drawn-pink" peau do cygne, tho
petticoat being pale rose peau do
cygne, with many chiffon ruches
shading from "dawn-pink" to deep
rose. And ono daring French "rose

chiffon, very chic and lovely, but al
most too audacious.

Watering Horses.
A discussion of the subject of wa
tering horses should tako Into account
tho reasons why water Is needed, tho
amounts required, tho proper time fot
watering, and relntcd topics, says a
government bulletin. Horses, like
other animals, require wnter to moist
en their food so that tho digestlvo
Juices may permeate It readily, to di
lute tho blood and other fluids of tho
body, and for other physiological uses.
It may bo assumed that under any
given normal condition tho body con
tains a definite amount of water.
When any considerable amount of wa
ter Is lost from tho body, a sensation
or thirst Is experienced, showing thnt
more wntor Is needed to tako Its place.
Practically all tho water excreted
leaves tho body In the feces, urine,
perspiration, and broath. Tho nmnunt
eliminated In each, according to Wolff,
increases with tho amount of water
consumed, tho largest amount being
excreted in the feces, in experiments
which he enrried on, tho total amount
of water consumed ranged from 17.3G3
kilograms to 34.272 kilograms (38.3
to 75.C pounds). Tho feces contained
from 40.3 to 47.3 per cent of tho total
amount excreted; the urine from 21.2
to 34.9 per cent.
In addition to the water drunk by
horses, a considerable amount is ob
tained In the more or less succulent
food eaten. The amount of water re.
quired is Influenced by a number of
factors, Including the season of the
year, temperature of the surrounding
air, character of tho feed, tho Individ
ual peculiarities of the horse, the
amount and character of the work per
formed, and probably others. The
amount of water needed Increases
with tho temperature and with the
amount of work performed, slnco It
is very evident that both of these fac
tors increase the amount which is
given off from the body In tho form
of perspiration. Muscular work also
Increases tho amount of water vapor
excreted In tho breath. According to
Grandcnu and Lcclerc, a horse used In
one of their experiments, when at
rest, evaporated C.4 pounds of water
per day; when walking, 8.C pounds;
when walking and drawing a load,
12.7 pounds; when trotting, 13.4
pounds, and when trotting and draw
ing a load. 20.G pounds. It is evident
from these figures that tho amount
of water excreted, and hence the
amount required, varies with tho work
performed.
Buy a Done Milt.
Wo do not hesitate to adviso our
leaders to purchaso a mill for the
grinding or cutting of bones, orten
In these columns wo have referred to
this matter, as wo consider it one of
prime importance In the poultry es
tablishment. Every person that keeps
a good-sized flock will find it a profit
able Investment to have one of these
machines, probably the larger tho bet
ter. Not long ago the writer visited a
poultry establishment that was being
run on scientific principles. Tho poul
try woman, In showing her methods
of work, pointed to a great pile of
ground bono and meat and said: "Wo
get fifty pounds of bonca from tho
butcher every week, and on them, as
you see, is a very large amount of
meat. The butcher cannot stop to
pare off all tho meat, and it is prob
able that on fifty pounds of this ma
terial as wo buy It there Is at least
ten pounds of solid lean meat. We
find It a very cheap feed, as It costs
us only half a cent a pound. Tho
fowls aro extremely fond of it, and it
is one of tho reasons why I am able
to get eggs In winter."
If all poultry raHers would be as
wise, this now waste product of our
butcher shops would be largely util
ized In the feeding of our Hocks. Hun
dreds of thousands of tons of this ma
terial now wasted should go to tho
poultry houses of our farms and bo
worked up into eggs and meat. That
it is not taken advantage of Is another
cause for the charge that "tho Amer
icans are tho most wasteful peoplo in
tho world." But without a mill for
the grinding of bones this wasto can
not be avoided. My all means buy a
mill.
Points in Sheep Raising.
To be successful In breeding sheep
It Is necessary to give them proper
care and attention. They should not
be left to pick tholr living by tho road
side. We live in ono of tho greatest
sheep countries in the world, and yet,
when we look around, how many
flocks do we find? We ought to find
a small flock on ovry fnrm, but many
farmers have not a sheep on their
places. Every farm ought to have
sheep, if only to assist in tidying up
the fence corners. This they will do
If they aro given half a chance, In
that they will trim up grass and weeds
In lanes, paddocks and fence corners.
Few weeds or plants will escape their
notice. The woods that one sheep will
consume In the summer aro about as
many or more than tho average farm
boy can be persuaded to destroy In a
single season In a certain sense,
therefore, a small band of sheep aro
wage-earners. They ought to be kept
to supply tho farmers with meat dur
ing the warm months of tho yoar. No
more delicious meat can bo furnished
at such seasons, and none is moro
wholesome. Tho farmer can, in this
way, got much of his meat supply In
summer and get It virtually without
cost, since tho pasture which makes
the mutton would otherwise bo lost,
I or, at least, a great part of It. E. F.

London's Campaign Against Rats.
London's campaign against tho dock
rats has progressed satisfactorily.
According to the official reports of
the rat killers, over 5,000 of tho ro
dents havo been killed every month
of tho past year. Since the bubonic
plaguo scare roused the authorities
to action, not less than 250,000 rats
havo been killed. Tho gain has been
great, not only from the health point
of view, but In the saving of prop
erty. Tho destructive capacity of
tho London wharf rat Is very largo,

Medicinal Bones and Horns.
A writer in the Pharmaceutical
Journal remarks that considerable
traffic Is carried on in tho present
time in tho bones of the tahr, the na
tive name for tho wild goat, Capra
Jemlanlca, which frequents tho steep
tree covered slopes of tho Himalayan
range, and which bones aro exported
to India, being employed as an Imag
inary never falling remedy for rheu
matism. Again, the antlors of tho Al
tai waplta, of tho deer tribe, arc ex
ported, it is said, to China, realizing
a very high price where they aro
much esteemed for medicinal pur
poses, whllo tho horns of the Sumat
ran rhinoceros aro Imported by, and
valued In, tho same country as a sup
posed means of counteracting disease.
WORRY
A Sure Starter for III Health.
Useless worrying (a form of ner
vousness) Is Indirectly tho result
(through the norves) of improper
feeding. A furniture man of Mem
phis says:
"About a year ago I was afflicted
with nervous spells, would worry so
over trivial things.
"I went to consult one of the best
physicians in Memphis and he asked
among many questions if I drank cof
fee. "His advice was: 'Go to some pro
vlhion store and get a box of Postum,
drink it in place of coffco and as you
aro confined to your desk to a great
cxtont try and set out in the open air
as much ns possible.' I followed his
instructions regarding the Postum.
"At that tlmo my weight was 142
and I was taking all kinds of drugs
and medicines to braco me up, but all
failed; to-day I weigh 1C5 and nil of
my old troubles are gone, and all tho
credit is duo to having followed this
wise physician's advlco and cut off tho
coffoa aud using Postum in its place.
"I now consider my hoalth perfect.
I am willing to go beforo a notary
public and testify that it was all due
to my having used Postum in placo
of coffee." Name givon by Postum

There's a roagon for quitting tho
