BACKACHE AND DIZZINESS Host of the A Ilmen tr Peculiar to tin Female Sex are Dae to Catarrh of Pelvic Orrans. ..... MRS. M. BRICKNER. ♦ 99 Eleventh Street, { Milwaukee, Wis. f ••A short time ago / found my con dition very serious, I had headaches, pains In the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discouraged when / took the first dose, but my courage soon returned, la less than two months my health was restored.”—Mrs. M. Brick ner. The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being1 caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply be cause it cures the catarrh. If you have catarrh write at once to T)r. Hartman, givinga 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, 0.

Home is not a name, nor a form, nor a routine. It is a spirit, a presence, a principle. Material and method will not and cannot make it, says a writer in the Cooking School. It must get Its light and sweetness from those who inhabit it, from flowers and sun shine, from the sympathetic natures which, in their exercise of sympathy, can lay aside the tyranny of the broom and the awful duty of endless scrub bing.

AS EASY Needs Only a Little Thinking. The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nour ished and healthy or weak and sick ly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can ac complish wonders provided the pa tient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn’t take a step. “We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet as improper food was the only cause ef his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. “So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet In Grape-Nuts is not at all Mke cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.) “We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are al most his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grew up into a strong healthy man.” Name give* by Poetum Co., Battle Creek, Midh. The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Na ture-sweet known as Post Sugar, net digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre-digeeted. Feed the youngsters a bandful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and projnpts them to call for sugar. There's a reason. fiet the little book “The Road to JWeMrHle” in eacfcjgkg. To-Day.

If it were his own. as the clam's, it would grow with his growth, and always be a perfect fit; but to the hermit there comes often a “mov ing day,” when a new house must be sought. Discouraging work it is, too. Most of the doors at which he knocks are slammed in his face. A tweak from a larger pineer than his own will often satisfy him that the shell he considers “distinctly possible,” and hopefully ventures to explore, is already occupied by a near but coldly unsympathetic relative. Finding to empty shell of suitable size, the hermit may be driven to ask a brother hermit to vacate in his favor. The proposition is spurned in dignantly, and a fight ensues. The bat tle is the stronger. Often the at tacking party has considerable trou ble in cleaning out the shell, having to pick his adversary out in bits. A periwinkle or a whelk may be attack ed in a like manner by a hermit who :z hard pressed and has taken a fancy to that particular shell. If the house holder be feeble, the conquest is easy. If lusty, he holds the fort. A Water Treadmill. The men who work in the great logging camps in the West and North west, where miler and miles of great l^gs are floated down the rivers to sawmills below, have a peculiar sport. They grow so at home on slip pery, shifting logs rolling and tossing about in the swift current that they 'l r can leap from one to another and ride on them like circus performers while directing their course around a bend or bad place in the river. These “loggers” make a specialty of stand ing on a log and making it roll, first forward, then baofcward, by leaning one way or the other, and standing on the log nearest the direction they wish it to roll. They can even make the log roll through the water like a wheel or hoop rolling over the i ground. Sometime when you are “in swim ming" or bathing find a good sized i log, put it in the water, and try to stand on it. You will be surprised to find hew difficult it is to do this, and the first time you try it the log will probably roll over at once and dump you in the water. But you will very soon get the knack of it, and then j you will find that by standing with your feet on one of the sloping sides ! of the log you can make it turn in that j direction, and by moving your feet just as fast as the log moves you can not only keep your upright position, hut can make the log move through the water. Try it. Origin of Names of Dogs. i There are not many boys or girls, or grown folks, either, for that mat j ter, who know how the breed names of dogs first came into common use. For instance, the spaniel is so-called because the first types of this beauts ' ful and intelligent animal arrived in England from Spain and were called ; Spanish dogs. The beautiful Blenheim spanie! is ramed after Blenheim palace, where this dog first was made fashionable in the time of the great Marlborough. The King Charles, as 'Bight be guess ed, ewes its name to the merry mon | arch. The skye terrier was originally bred ; in the iBle of Skye, and the Scotch ! terrier, of course, in Scotland. Many other dogs show the original , p.ace of their breeding or develop ment by their names, such as the Great Dane, the Newfoundland, Sibe rian bloodhound, and so on. The mastiff means “house-dog,” no doubt because of his great strength : and size and ability to guard the I home. i Poodle means “waddle,” although I these pretty little pets of to-day don't seem to partake of any ancestral clumsiness. ! - A Wingless Bird. Far away on the other side of the world, in New Zealand, there is a most curious species of bird, which i has neither wings nor^a tail. What i do you think of that? There are very few of these strange creatures left, even on ttoeir native island, but tfceir cousins, the Ki-wis, are still numerous m Australia. The ki-wi gets its name from its peculiar cry, which sounds like “W-vrl, Ki-wi.” The learned name of this bird Is apteryx. It has feathers that resem i le coarse hairs, and has a long bill, by which it secures its food easily. It lives on insects and worms, which it catches on the ground in its night ly rambles, for this bird only goes ! abroad at night and hides during the day. In size it is about as large as a goose, the feathers on its head being ; sh®rt, but those on the body increas- ' ing in length. Altogether, it is a eueer-looking creature, and as it has ro little means of defending itself, it 1 falls an easy prey to larger and stronger beasts. Pindertoy. Scissors and a pin only needed. This ! prattling parrot if cut out and fasten- I id together with a pin will make a j very attractive toy. If you push the pin firmly into a cork or tbe end cf a stick and paste the pieces on an old visiting card before the pieces are cut cut, this pindertoy will last longer. A Cat's Revenge. A gentleman ■who was very fond of fishing, and who usually caught a good lot of fish, frequently promised. his next door neighbor to give him part of his catch, but never fulfilled the promise. Tbe cat of the next door neighbor evidently overheard the promise and thought the fisherman ought to be made to keep his word, tor one day when the people of b'o other medicine has such a record of female cures. “Dear Mp.s.
