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.

LEFT THE BABY BEHIND.
The Nurse Had the Carriage. But the
“Baby" Was Missing.
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. Wilson, Lis

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

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. Not another word
—not then. And dear me! Here's

The Chirese a Pinless People.
A member of the Chinese legation,
clad in splendid, pale-hued silks, stood
before the Casino at Newport.
“Pins." he said, "cause untidy hab
its. We have no pins in China.”
He smiled and resumed:
"The right way to fasten things is
with buttons and buttonholes or with
loops and frogs. To fasten things
with pins is to make use of an untidy
makeshift. To employ pins is to be

“We have no pins in China. Certain

we sent them back. We had no use

Nothing Succeeds Like “EGG-O-SEE."
The man who preaches the best
sermon; the man who tells the fun

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.

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.’ ”

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.

The Age of Lead.
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.

South Africa’s Gold Production.

year the production was nearly $6,

The extraordinary popularity of fine

choice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being fret
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff

Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

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. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.—Hairs Journal of Health.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during ray practice, and find it very satisfactory.’’
Dr. 'William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands
first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place.”
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s
troubles. 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. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.”

AND CONSIDER THE
ALL-IMPORTANT
FACT
That in addressing' Mrs. Pinkham you
are confiding your private ills to a woman
—a woman whose experience with wo
men's diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham is the
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham,
and for many years under her direction,
and since her decease.her advice has been
freely given to sick women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along' \
from bad to worse, knowing fall well that they
ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probable examinations
of even their family physician. It is unnecessary.
Without money or price yon can consult a woman
whose knowledge from actual experience is great.
Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation:
Women suffering from any form of female weak
ness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women only. A
woman can freely talk of her private illness to a
woman; thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs.Pinkham andthe women
of America which has never been broken. Out i
of the vast volume of experience which she
has to dra w from, it is more than possible
that she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case. She asks noth- /I
ing in return except your good-will, and yv
her advice has relieved thousands. Surely t
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if '
she does not take advantage of thisj
erous offer of assistance.—Lydia K.

to get well. I do rot want to submit to it if
I can possibly help it. Please tell me what
to do. 1 hope you can relieve me.”—Mrs.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“After following carefully your advice,
and taking Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable
Compound. I am very anxious to send you
my testimonial, that others may know their
value and what you have done for me.
“ As yon know, I -wrote ycm that my doctor
said I must have an operation or I could not

I wish every suffering woman would read
