SUFFERING WOMEN. Tired, Nervous, Aching, Trembling, Sleepless, Blood less— Pe-ru-na Renovates, Regulates, Restores Many Prominent Women Endorse Pe-ru-na. HR. £HHAHITCHEU MERICA is the land of ner vous women. The great majority of ner vous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 520 Louisiana Street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: “Peruna has certainly been a blessing in disguise to me, for when I first began taking it for troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn out system, I had little faith. ••For the past five years I have rarely beer, without pain, but Pe runa has changed all this, and in a very short time. 1 think 1 had only taken two bottles before 1 began to recuperate very quickly, and seven bottles made me well. I do not have headache or back ache any more, and have some In terest in life. 1 give all credit where It is due, and that is to Pe runa.—Emma Mitchell. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. They are catarrh of the organ which is affected. These women despair of re covery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost in evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is thesourceof their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh, l’eruna cures catarrh wherever located. - Chronic invalids wjo have languished for years on sick beds with some form of female disease begin to improve at once after be ginning Dr. Hartman’s treatment.

MANY WOMEN WHO MAKE : LIVING “ON THE ROAD” | There are more than half a hundred women In the United State* who earn a living, and a good one at that, by acting as •drummers,” or commercial travelers, for business houses. One of the most successful of these saleswom en is not of the opinion that all mem bers of her sex could do as well as she has done. “The women who have made a success on the road,” she said recently, “are the women who would have made a success in any line of work they took up. There is the rank and file in every business, but I think that fewer women go on the road now than did a few years ago. "Men do not regard the woman com mercial traveler with favor, and many houses employ them simply as an ad vertisement to attract attention to their goods and make them talked about in the small towns. Other houses refuse to have a woman represent them on tho road, and there are still others who And that the per cent of sales by their feminine representa tives is as large, if not larger, than by the men who made the same territory. “The work is hard, but less hard than that of a clerk who stands still all day behind a counter, anti the pay is better. Most traveling saleswomen can make at least $1,000 a year, and few clerks receive more than $15 a week. Some routes are pleasanter than others, and it is not always agree able to make towns of less than 8,000 inhabitants, as the hotels are likely to be poor, and there Is nothing to do for amusement after the day’s work Is over." There ere a number of Minneapolis women w ho have made a success as traveling saleswomen, but they were endowed with the ability to make a success of anything they undertook. They have shrewd, capable, business brains, they aro not afraid of work, and they deserve the large check* they receive in payment for tho equa> ly large orders they send in to their houses. Miss Pettibone, who formerly made Minneapolis ner home, and who now represents a corset house, with headquarters in Chicago, receives a salary of about $7,000 a year. Miss McCue formerly traveled for Wash burn, Crosby & Co. and was one of the few wofnen selling flour. She has re cently abandoned breadstuffa for soap. Among the traveling saleswomen who are well known to buyers are Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Allen, who sell baking powder; Miss ljouise Ames, who has a dry goods line; Miss Au gusta Asher, infants' wear; Mlsa Helntzman ar.d Miss Annis Uurr Por ter, mousetraps. Most of the (raveling saleswomen represent come branch of women's wear. The women who sell soap and flour and salt are not bothered with large trunks or samples, and they can make their sales at once if the buyer is in the humor. A man can some times coax him into a purchasing dis position with a cigar or a drink, but a woman has to depend on her wit, which does not always answer the same purpose. PRACTICAL BREWER TELLS OF j DISCOVERY OF LAGER BEER j Two practical brewers as they con versed the other day had an argu ment over the invention of lager beer. A third brewer joined them and said: “Imager beer was not Invented. It was discovered — accidentally discovered. Here is the story as my grandfather handed it down to my father: “A saddler of the German town of Bamberg sent his apprentice one morning in the Middle Ages for a bot tle of the beer tney used in those days —a vile beer that was drunk as soon as it was brewed. The apprentice bought the bottle, and on the way home with it met a practical joker. The joker said to him: “ ‘Your boss is looking for you. He says you have spoiled three days’ work ' going to baste you with a "At this news the apprentice was so scared that he buried* the beer under a tree and ran off and enlisted in the army. He prospered in the army. In time he became an officer and got the cross of honor. Then he thought he would return to his native town. “When, with a long furlough, he drew near the town, he recalled the bottle of beer lie hart burled and he dismounted from’his charger on reach ing the well-remembered tree and dug up the kottlc and carried it to his former master. “ ‘Old man.' he said, ‘you sent me af ter a bottle of beer five years ago. Here is the beer now.’ "The master embraced him, con gratulated him on his success in life and opened the bottle to share with him its contents. Such excellent beer neither had ever tasted before. It was like old wine. Tho master, as soon as he learned that it was burial that had so much benefited it. bought 1,000 bot tles of beer, buried them, and five years later sold them at a great profit, for everybody that tasted the new drink loved it. "In time the secret leaked out. Brew eries everywhere came *to know that beer, by lying, improved. So they all adopted tho lying process, and they called the new drink 'lying' or 'lager' beer, for ‘lager’ means ‘lying,’ as you know. "In the past centuries they let beer lie longer than we do now. This is a fast ace. you know.” i JVST AN INCIDENT IN i LIFE OF A PROMOTER Henry Wollman has a story of how he once came near to being a million aire. “About a yctar ago,” said he, “my office boy brought me a card reading. “Mr. Joseph Montague,” one hundred and something Broadway. When this Mr. Montague entered, I recognized a man I had seen in the west. He told me he was about to get up a corpora tion to utilize the water power of the Missouri and Kansas rivers at Kansas City. He had already agreed upon contracts with all the pork packers and other utilizers of power in Kansas City, according to his story. A large quantity of blue prints and other for midable looking things he carried under his arm. There was going to be three million dollars clear profit in the transaction, he asserted, when he told me he had decided to make me counsel of the company, and would give me a million dollars for my ser vices. I could not quite see why he should have two million and I only one, but he finally persuaded me that I ought to be satisfied witn the devis ion. and I agreed to take the million dollars. “His fare lighted up with satisfac tion. Suddenly it changed, and he said: ‘Something awful happened to me last night; a burglar broke into my room and stole my trousers with all my ready cash, and although it is nearly noon, 1 haven't had breakfast j et.’ “Naturally 1 said, ‘Mr. Montague, it is necessary for the success of our great enterprise that you should keep in good physical condition; here’s a half dollar; get your breakfast.’ “Montague departed, and that is the last 1 ever saw of my half dollar or my million-dollar fee. This is no joke. It actually happened, and something like it is happening every hour in New York.”—New York Times. GOOD OLD CUSTOMS OF THE WEST IN DISFAVOR. A brief note in a Russell paper states that Judge “Jim” Reeder, of Iho District court, has informed the mem bers of the local bar that they will no longer be allowed to appear In court In their shirt sleeves, according to the Kansas City Journal. Probably Judge Reeder is not to blame for this. Ho seems to be simply the helpless instru ment of that effete civilization of the Cast which is overwhelming the primi tive democracy of the boundless prai ries. But nevertheless this order will sorely try the souls of a few remain ing members of the ancient Western bar wrho did not consider themselves jquipped for business until coat was iff, suspenders down and shirt thrown I open at the neckband. Coats, indeed! Time enough has not yet elapsed to make ns forget the picturesque G. Polk Cline, who used to come to this self same court in overalls, army shirt and | bare feet, often giving slight annoy ance to his brother attorneys by working the mud from between his toes while his extremeties were ele vated above the common table. And neither can we reconcile this pert order with the fashions of not so long ago, when bluff old Sheriff Lanahan used to convene court in this short but emphatic formula: “Take off yer guns and hats, ye bums and sports! The honorable coort is now in session!” Illinois Ranks First.

Russell Sage boarded a Sixth avenue elevated train at Rector street one day last week. He carried under one arm a sample brick wraped in a news paper. It was one that the builder of the Emma Willard seminary had taken to the financier’s office. Re pairs to Mr. Sage’s hall are to be made and Mr. Sage wanted to see the brick that is to be used. It was worth per haps 2 cents. At Twenty-eighth street a sporty looking youth, who evidently knew the great man, reached down, seized the brick, dashed to the door, was down stairs and away before Mr. Sage, much annoyed, could get to the door and breathlessly explain to the guard what had happened. "I felt sorry for him," said the latter, when he told of the experience. “He looked real sad at losing that brlca, but I’d have given a dollar to have seen the face of the other fellow when he cut the string. ’ A Good 8tory.

I could not retain | my urine and my feet and limbs began to bloat up. My weight was quickly running down. "After I had tried many things in vain, I began to use Dodd’B Kidney Pills, a medicine which had cured some other very bad cases. "This remedy has done wonders for me. I have gained eight pounds In ; two months. The bloat has all gone from my feet and legs, and I don’t \ have to get up at night.
