HAPPY AND HEALTHY. A BEAUTIFUL CANADIAN GIRL SAVED FROM CATARRH OF THE LUNGS BY PE-RU-NA. Miss Florence E. Kenah, 434 Maria street, Ottawa, Ont., writes : ••A few months ago / caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and remained there so persistently that / became alarmed. 1 took medicine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently. «/ was advised to try Peruna, and although / had little faith I felt so sick that I was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at once, and I felt that I had the right medicine at last. Within three weeks I was completely restored and have enjoyed perfect health since. “I now have ihegreatest faith in Peruna.” F. E. KENAH. WOMEN should beware of contract ing catarrh. The cold wind and rain, slush and mud of winter are especially conducive to catarrhal de rangements. Few women escape. Upon the first symptoms of catching cold, Peruna should be taken. It fortifies the system against colds and catarrh. The following letter gives one young woman’s experience with Peruna: Miss Rose Gerbing 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 bought a bottle to try. I am pleased that 1 did. for it brought speedy relief. It only took about two bottles, and I considered this money well spent. "You have a firm friend in me, and I not only advise its use to my friends, but have purchased several bottles to give to those without the means to buy, and have noticed without exception that it has brought about a speedy cure wherever it has been used."—Miss Rose Gerbing. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Of what use is your ability unless people know you have it? Of what use is anything unless it he known?

INSIST ON GETTING IT. Some grocers say they don't keep De fiance Starch because they have a stock in hand of 12 oz. brands, which they know cannot be sold to a customer who has once used the 1(1 oz. pkg.

To the housewife who has not yet be come acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any fh~ other brand, but because each 10c pack age contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance {starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must 4win.

Choose large chestnuts and remove the hard skin; place them in a copper saucepan and cover them with cold water with a soupspoonful of flour to a quart of water; let them cook with out boiling, until they are soft. Then peel the nuts and put them into an other pan (the same as used for jam making), and pour over them a thick syrup flavored with vanilla. Cover with paper and let the chestnuts warm on a slow fire, without allowing them to boil. Keep adding syrup as requir ed during evaporation until tne syrup has attained thirty-four degrees. They are eaten cold. Is Marble a Fluid? A writer in London Nature describes a white marble slab, two inches thick and 25x70 inches, which is supported in stone posts and sags in the mid dle three inches out of the level. It furnishes evidence that marble is in reality a fluid of enormous viscosity. This has some bearing on the question of the frigidity of the rocks compos ing the crust of the earth and the gradual adjustment of the earth's con tour under gravity. The slab was placed in its present position in 1853. Many a man can talk psychology, cosmology, ontology and several other •'ologies,” who lacks plain every day common sense.

Speaking of coffee a doctor of Deca turville, Ohio, says: "We used to an alyze coffee at the medical college and in spite of our laboratory tests which showed it to contain caffeine, an active poison, I continued to use the drink, and later on found myself affected with serious stomach trouble, indi gestion, headaches, etc. The headaches came on so regularly and oppressed me so that 1 found it difficult to attend to my regular duties. One day last November I met a friend whom 1 had known to be similarly af flicted. His marked improvement in appearance caused me to inquire what he had been doing. He announced that had, some time ago, quit coffee and was using Postum Food Coffee. To this change he attributed the change in his health. 1 took the hint, even from a layman, and made the same change myself. The first week I noticed a little differ ence, but not much. The third week the change- was almost magical. I have continue 1 with the Postum and now my digestion is perfect, the nerv ous headaches have entirely disap peared, and I am well. My own an alysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows it to be a pure food drink of strong character, which is a marked contrast to the old-fashioned coffee.’’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, I Mich. THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. Latest Quotations from South Omaha and Kansas City. SOUTH OMAHA. CATTLE—'There whs a moderate run of rattle In the yards. As Is apt to be the case toward the end of the week the de mand was not quite as brisk, but still the prices paid for desirable grades were not much different from those in force yesterday. The beef steer - market could be quoted a little slow, but about steady. Handy weight cattle of fair to good quality sold without much difficulty at steady prices. Heavy cattle, lioweevr, were rather neglected, and sellers found it a difficult proposition to get what they considered steady prices for that class, j The cow’ market was also about steady. There was not the activity to the trade, I though, that characterised the market earlier in the week, and in some cases salesmen thought they did not get quite as much for their cows as they ought to have. As a general thing, though, the prices paid looked just about as good as these of yesterday. The bull market was just about steady today, and veal calves I also commanded as good prices as were paid yesterday. There were scarcely enough stockers and feeders in the yards to make a market, and as speculators sold out practically all the cattle they had on hand yesterday, they w'ere willing to pay about steady prices for desirable grades. HOGS—There wfas quite a run of hogs here and, as other market were quoted lower, prices here also suffered a decline. Packers started in to buy their hogs 501Oo lower, but sellers would not take off that much, and as a result the market was very slow from sturt to finish. In some cases packers raised their bids and bought the hogs only a big nickel lower, w’hicl in others they succeeded in getting tlie hogs 5010c lower. It was a rather uneven market and it was late before a clearance was made. Medium weight hogs sold largely around $6.85. Good heavy hogs sold from $6.85 to $6.95.

THE MEN AND WOMEN Who Enjoy the Choicest Products of the World’s Commerce. KoowledBe of What la Beat More Im portant Than Wealth With out It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces sary to enable the 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 the 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.

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 ail 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 (he system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any un pleasant after-efrects. 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 tho genuine, which is sold in original pack ages only; 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.

He procured a plate of the dainty and iwas returning with It when some one asked him a question about the Alas ka boundary. Mr. Foster has a fad ton that subject. He began to talk earnestly. Then he gesticulated. The result was that the salad slid grace fully off the plate and landed lull on the front breadth of Mrs. Foster’s magniHeent dress.

Progress and improvement are the watchwords of the twentieth century, and the old style of selling stock foods through traveling agents at an enormous expense, should give j way to the more modern plan of being sold by the mail order method at a less expense. Did you ever stop to think what makes the ordinary stock foods cost what they do to you ? If not, we will try to explain. Agents selling stock foods to the farmers direct, through the country with a team, receive a commission of 33 to 50 per cent on all sales, and in addition to this there are other expenses, such as salary to block salesmen, state managers, and the cost of large lithographs, issued by some stock food people. All this expense is added to the cost of the food which the farmer is expected to pay. It causes an expense of $75.00 to $80.00 per ton to sell stock food by the old methods. _ - . j When an agent tries to interest you in stock foods you have to take his word in regard to the merits of the food. Why is not the word of a responsible firm, in writing, much better than the verbal contract generally made with a : traveling agent. By dealing direct with us you will save this expense that is added to the cost of the food that is pur chased through canvassers. By cutting down this expense we are able to give you a food the quality of which is much superior to the ordinary run of stock foods which, if sold under the old methods, could not be sold at anywhere near the ‘ price we are now offering it to you for mail orders.
