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.

To the housewife who has not yet be

Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to any

kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance

Choose large chestnuts and remove

water with a soupspoonful of flour to

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.

A LAYMAN
Gave Doctor a Hint About Coffee.
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

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.

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. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. 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

Alaska and the Salad.
At a recent function in Washington
John W. Foster, the diplomat and ex
'secretary of state, was sent by Mrs.
Foster to get her some salad. 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. The conversation
about the Alaskan boundary ended
right there.

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the inflammat ion can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

The opportunity you have been waiting for has arrived. 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.
I OLIVE-FOOD is superior and entirely different to the ordinary run of stock foods, and is guaranteed to be free j
