HAY FEVER "Having used Peruna for catarrh and hay fever, I can recommend it to all who f are suffering with the above diseases. 1 am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully:’ ■Mayme £. Smith. MISS MA YME SMITH, 444 E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating sub stance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous emanations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Hay Fever, would do well to give Peruna a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people. U. S.

Mrs Maud Miller Hippie, ■whose advocacy of a course in "motherhood” for young matrons has already begun to bear good fruit, was talking of the duties of young mothers. "And no young mother,” she said, ‘‘no matter how many her millions nor how high her station, should trust her little one entirely to a nurse's care. A nurse may be the most intel ligent, most conscientious; hut to rear a baby properly is a difficult task, and only one person is sufficiently inter ested in this task to perform it welL That person is the baby's mother.” Mrs. Hippie smiled. “A young mother," she said, "was walking with her husband on the Atlantic City board walk. Suddenly she gave a little cry of pleasure. “ 'Oh, she said, 'there is nurse— nurse wheeling baby.’ “And she ran lightly to the luxuri ous coach of leather, with its swan shaped carriage and its rubber-tired wheels, and she pushed back the para sol that shaded the occupant from the sun. “Then she gave a great start. “ 'Why, nurse,' she cried, 'where's baby?’ ' The nurse gasped. 'Goodness gra cious, ma'am! I forgot to put him in'”’ _ TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA. Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. “I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I i purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in •which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption ap peared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I pro cured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use un til the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Reme dies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E.

His First Attempt Henry Finds It a Little Embar rassing By KENNETT HARRIS The sun was two hours high, but at the end of the corn row I hollered: "Whoa!” and the old mule stopped short in his tracks, as he had a habit of doing whenever his long, alert ears caught the sound of the vowel o, even in the most casual conversation. 1 jerked the plow out of the furrow hastily scraped the share of clinging soil with my bare foot, unhooked the trace chains and looped them over the hames; the lines I passed and tiec through the bit rings and then jumpec over the sharp-ridged back that quiv ered apprehensively at my touch and set off toward the house. My mother was at the woodpile gathering chips into her apron. “My land”' she exclaimed, in amaze ment. "What's the matter, Henry?” I had expected that. I kicked that fool mule in the ribs, for he had stopped. “Nothin',” I answered, sul lenly. and taen “Geddup, you blame ol’ snoozer!” “But what—” 1 didn't hear the rest. 1 slid off at the watering trough and, taking out the bridle bit, waited for my mule to drink. He took his time, as usual, nuzzling in the water and turning av.av to survey the landscape. “Well, finish to-morrow, darn you!” I said, at last, and dragged him away to the bam. There I stripped the har ness from him. filled his manger with hay and walked resolutely to the house. Mother was inside now, for which I was thankful, and I heard the grinding of the coffee mill. I was washing my feet in the tin washbasin when she came out again, shooing flies before her. “It ain't supper time yet, Henry,” she said. “I know it,” I replied, forbiddingly. I got up without looking at her and paddled into the kitchen, carrying the washdish with me. At the sink I secured a bar of yellow soap and a towel and. filling the basin with cis tern water, carried it up to my attic 1 T They Looked at Me, But I Avoided Their Eyes. bedroom and set it on a chair. Usual ly I made my toilet at the bench in the yard, but that seeemd too public a place this particular evening. I opened a drawer and got out the razor I had recently acquired—such a nice, bright razor! It was my first essay, but I shaved myself and not more than three slight cuts tinged the lather with crimsoti. I struggled into a stiffly starched shirt and assumed my Sabbath-day diagonals to the shirtsleeves and took from another drawer a collar of cel luloid. white and glistening, smooth and flawless, and a necktie that did not have to be tied, but was by a wonder of human ingenuity so con structed as to have that appearance. I had trouble with my shoes, for they were tight at the best of times, and a day’s plowing barefoot is not the best preparation in the world for wearing a snug pair of congress gaiters. By this time I heard my father's voice in the kitchen below and the clatter of the stoneware dishes. The stair door opened and my moth er called: “Supper. Henry." “All right,” I replied. ‘I’m a-com in . But I wasn't hungry. I waited a few minutes, then put on my coat and went creaking down, nerved for the encounter. My father was seated at the table and my mother was placing a bowl of boiled potatoes at his elbow. They looked at me. but I avoided then eyes and “set up.'' There was an awful silence. I felt my face smart ing and hot with the yellow soap. “Ground pretty dry, Henry?” asked my father. His face was grave, but there was a twinkle in his eye. “Yes, sir.” I replied, and reached for the ham. "Take care of your sleeve in the dish,” said my mother gently. I did not look up again until I said casually: "You don’t mind if I take the sorrel mare and the buggy, do you ?” “Certainly not. son,” said father. Presently he coughed. “Going to a po litical meeting, Henry?” “Now, father!” said mother. I got up and pushed my chair beck. “I was just asking,” said father, coughing again. “I didn’t mean any harm.” I shook my head and hurried out. The sorrel mare whinnied as I came in, but there was no corn for her now. In three minntes she was being backed into the shafts. I looked t<> ward the house and my father was standing on the porch. “Oh, Henry!” I half raised the whip. Should I pretend not to hear? Better take my medicine. “Yes. sir!’" “I don’t know but I'd have took the halter off afore I put the bridle on, but please yourself.” He turned and went back into th«? house as, scarlet to the ear t ps, I got out of the buggy.

The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the fun niest stories; the man who keeps the best store, or the man who makes the best goods, soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best ad vertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is “EGG-O SEE. for it contains all the life-giv ing properties of nature's best food, which is Wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike ire friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent pack age contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking, is required, makes EGG-O SEE very popular. Open the pack age; put in as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesome. It makes you strong. A lot of- interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled. “—back to nature."

When Woman Isn’t Young. The report is that a local religious Institution which is for “young wom en” has drawn the deadline of youth at 35. Every woman over that age will be marked 23 and requested to skiddoo. This is painful. It is unkind. What is worse, it is impracticable. We are glad the task is to be performed by women. No man nor set of men would ever have dared tackle such a problem—not they. This is simply another example of woman's inhu manity to woman. W’e have been told for many ages that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is as old as he feels. Just now, we say it with regret, most wom en look like 60 and most men feel like Methuselah. But the general rule seems a good one. It is a plain, un palatable fact that women will deceive as to their age as long as possible and then openly lie about it. There are many women who were born during the ravages of the civil war who still claim sweetly to be in the thirties. Lincoln as a Lawyer. A leader of the Lincoln party told the other day in Philadelphia a story of the astuteness of Lincoln as a lawyer. “When Lincoln was practising law,” he said, “he had a case involving a ; disputed will. The opposition claimed the will was genuine and for several hours adduced proof of this. For Lincoln, who had to prove the will a forgery, things looked black. “Lincoln, however, only called one witness, a retired paper manufactur er, renowned the country over for his wealth and probity. “ ‘Mr. Dash,’ Lincoln said to this witness, handing him the disputed will, ‘please hold that paper up to the light and tell us what is the water mark on it.’ “ ‘The water mark of my own firm, Blank & Co.,' the witness answered. “ ‘When did your firm begin to manufacture paper?’ “ ‘In 1841.’ “ ‘And what's the date of the docu ment in your hands?’ “‘August 11, 1836.’ “ ‘That is enough. Gentlemen of the jury our case is closed.’ ” HOW MANY OF US? Fail to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Off Ailments. A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to easing all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. “After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I dis continued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. “In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way. and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. “My former attacks; of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was dis tressing, with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neural gic pains in the chest “Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods In quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and. cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly.

We are wont to speak of this era as the “age of iron,” and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a “precious metal.” Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely neces sary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister inetal. but those distinguishing quali ties are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impos sible without lead pipe. The great est civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype “slugs,” monotype type — all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say noth ing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery iu which “babbitt” metal is used. Solder is another lead product— what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty — inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but me tallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as “white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of “white lead." some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-pre pared paint under the familiar pre tense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coat ing of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin. and is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are es sential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. Seeking Only Bare Justice. Creditor—So you've come around at last to pay me what you owe me. have you? Debtor—Not at all—just the con trary.

Physicians Recommend Castoria /^ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma ^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: tirst—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, hut assimi lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil, It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end.

I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s." Dr.Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, hut in the case of Castoria my experi ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex ception.
