"After my first child was born I suffered for several months with
bearing down pains accompanied by dreadful headaches. I was afraid
my health was ruined for life, and felt very downcast about It. One day
when a friend was visiting me she told me of l'eruna and what It had
done for her when she suffered with Irregular menstruation. My hus
band procured a bottle the same evening and I began to take It dally
according to directions. Before the first bottle was used I was entirely
well, and you certainly have one grateful woman s blessing. I have also
advised my friends to use It."

HER GREAT FORTUNE
A Woman Saved From Life-Loot
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.
A woman confined to the boose for
several years with a chronic femals
derangement had finally riven Dp hop
of being cured.
She bad tried physician after phy
sician, ind remedy after remedy, with
out any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband,
who was a poor man, hundreds f dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny,
themselves many comforts of life iai
order to ret money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children wera
growinr up neglected and ragged, be
cause of the want of a mother's care.
Her husbsnd was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hsp
pened to resd an item which contained
the news that Dr. Ilartman would trwit
such cases free of charge by letter. She
immediately wrote the doctor, describing
her esse, and giving him all her symp
toms. She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medi
cines and appliHtices to get She began
the treatment (the principal remedy be
ing l'eruna) at once, and in a few weeks
slip was well and strong again, able to
do her own work.
This offer of free home trestment to
women Is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment wili
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie llobnn, Post Pocahontas
of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Wo

Ave.. New York:
"Three months sgo I was troubled
with backache and a troublesome
heaviness about the stomach. Sleep
brought me no rest, for it was a restless
sleep. The doctor said my nervons sys
tem was out of order, but his prescrip
tions didn't seem to relieve me. I was
told that lVruna was good for building
up the nervous system. After using it
for two months I know now that it is.
I want to sny that. It made a new womin
of me. The torturing symptoms have
nil disappeared and I feel myself again.
Pemns did me more good than all the
other medicines I have tnken."

Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles,
Louisiana, writes:
"I sincerely believe that Penina Is
woman's best friend, for it has certainly
been that to me. I had had headaches,
backaches and other aches every month
for a lone time, but shortly after I be
enn taking l'eruna thiy was a thing of
the past, and I have good reason to be
grateful. I take a bottle every spring
and fall now, and that keeps my health
perfect, awl I certainly am nuve robust
now than I have been before and am
weighing more. I do not think any
one will be disappointed in the results
obtained from ihe use of reruns. "
MISS MAMIE POWELL.
If yon do not derive prompt and satis

write at once to Dr. Ilartman, givinc a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

The Womun Who Work.
One hundred and sixty thousand
women in Chicago every morning
marching to work in shop and mill and
Jtore and factory Is the army of the
;ity's employed in petticoats. Against
this army in skirts is an army of (MKJ.
M) men in all lines of professional
and manual work. Hut steadily the
inny in skirts Is gaining upon the
army iu trousers, until there is scarce
ly an employment open to man which
lias not a woman representative some
where in it, competing with man in
his own once exclusive held.
1'erlnips no one work of man has
been encroached upon by woman as
has the business of the stenographer.
The time was in the beginning when
only men were regarded as at all com
petent for the general work of tsking
shorthand notes and transcribing them
to paper in longhand. With the com
ing of the machine and the spreading
'if the liberal regard which men in
public began to assume toward women
,n office work, woman took up the busi
ness of the stenographer as her own,
ind so steadfastly has she held to it
that in Chicago to-day there are SJ 1,'!
women stenographers to l.(itl2 men in
the work, and these women are in
creasing in the schools in the propor
tion of three to one.
Not only has the woman tnken to
the typewriter and the shorthand note
book, but in the systems of accounts
the lias made a place, and from the
foothold already gained she is en-
rroaching steadily upon the demand
ind supply for women bookkeepers and
accountants, and wherever she has
been tried she has not been found
wanting. To take up the average
Sunday paper of to-day and look over
the want advertisements of women
seeking places and of advertisers seek
ing women for places, there is little
suggestion from the numbers to indi
cate which portion of the paper is set
aside for the female "wants" and
which for the males. As much space
in the main seems to be given to the
nne as to the , other. More women
stenographers will be wanted than
male; sciirceiy more bookkeepers and
elerks will be found among the male
wants than among tile females; in the
miscellaneous classification quite as
many women will seek positions and
he sought for positions as there will be
of men.
Women as salesmen are taking a
front place in the great stores of the
fity. The last census for Chicago
showed more than one-third women as
ialesmen compared with men. The fig
ures were 2J.012 men, as against T.-Sld
".'omen tilling like positions, and even
with this sUiowing it is remarked year
after year that the numbers of women
are growing steadily.
Teaching has been in woman's
sp'iere for all time, and in Chicago the
proportion of women to men as teach
ers and as professors iu (lie schools of
all classes is 7.200 to a paltry 1,591;
und more women are binding books,
making boxes, making gloves and sew
ing in all the lines of seamstress work
than there are of men. At the same
time there are 7!) dentists. 722 artists
find teachers of art. 112 journalists.

An KniElinh Girl'n Criticism.
A pretty English girl visiting this
country makes thin criticism of our
shops, according to the New York
Evening Telegram:
'due thing I have noticed more par
ticularly than anything else, outside
of the rush you are in all the time, is
the rudeness of your women clerks in
the shops. It iplite took my breath
away at first, and I thought it was
because we were English that they
didn't care for ns. Hut I took pains
to notice, and I saw that they treated
every one in the same way.
"Instead of the pleasant 'Cood morn
ing; what can I do to serve youV that
we are used to at home, th v look you
from head to foot in the most surpris
ing way, :i ml if you ask for anything
they may answer and fhey may not,
and all the time you have the feeling
that you are asking such a favor. I
really hate to go Into the shops Just
for that reason."
The Kdiicntcd Womnn,
The woman of the future must set

daily life. The girl who takes prizes
In athletics during her four years In
college, and then goes home to town
or village where there is neither gym
nasium nor basketball team nor golf
links, may easily tlml herself Irrita
ble under her privation. There Is one
suggestion for the partial snbtllon of
the problem, but It Is not a popular
one. Ihe sound mind In the sound
body liny thrive not only on syste
matic ntliletlc training, lint also on
tinnual labor of the most practical
kind, , The stigma so long resting on
domestic labor must sometimes be re
moved, as that which long rested on
"trade" lint been. It Is partly reae
llonary. Some clever writer has said;
"An nizi which worked I'.eilln wni.l
Viurrots with beaded eyes 'aturallv
gives place to one which pays outsid
ers to darn Its stockings." (f ih ed
ucated woman can contrive some sort
of return to cerlain pbi:s-..or manual
work, she will not only provide a re
lief for her own nervoua activity and
help to adjust the domestic problem,
but h will also broaden the bands
of her sympathy with ordinary l'r
and prevent that :eiuot.':ess from the
fundamental struggle of existence
which is so greatly to be deplored.

Don't wear the hair always in the

eficial. As a rule, don't wash the hair often
er than once a month. Too frequent
washing makes it dry.
Don't tie the hair, or roll or twist it
in any way tightly. This strains the
roots of the hair, and is very injurious.
Don't use many hairpins. If each
pin is made to do its duly, and the hair
is arranged to tit the head, few pins
will be needed.
Don't singe or clip the ends of the
hair. Don't use a coarse brush, but
one that has long, line, unbleached and
undyed bristles.
Don't buy a cheap dressing comb. It
pays to buy a good flexible tortoise
shell coinb, even if you must do with
one dress the less during the year.
