A SOCIAL LEADER
OF KANSAS CITY
Attributes Her Excellent Health to
Pe-ru-na.
MRS. W. H. SIMMONS.
MUS. W. H. SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th
St.. Kansas City. Jlo.. member of
the National Annuity Association,
writes:
** My health was excellent until about
a year ago, when I hail a complete col
lapse from overdoing socially, not get
ting the proper rest, ami too many late
suppers. My stomach was in a dread
ful condition, and my nerves all un
strung.
" 1 was advised by a friend to try Pe
runa. and eventually 1 bought a bottle.
I took it and tlieu another, and kept
using it for three months.
“At the end of that time my health
was restored, my nerves no longer
troubled me. and I felt myself once
more and able to assume my social
position. I certainly feel that Peruna
is deserving of praise. ”
There are many reasons why society
women break down, why their nervous
systems fail, why they have systemic ot
pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are espe
cially liable to these ailments. No won
der they require the protection of Peru
na. It is their shield and safeguard.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body—Tore at Flesh
—Cured by Cuticura.
“My little son. when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and a half of suf
fering he grew so bad I had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only foi* the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel
don. R. F. D. No. 1. M’oodville, Conn..
April 22. 1905.”
I have lived to know that the great
secret of human happiness is this:

A TTOPtnm AND AN EVENING
, GOWN
The true dress artist is always an
enthusiast, and not even for the most
extensive commercial consideration
would she persuade the “chiffon wo
man" into satin brocade, or the
“tailor-made girl” to the picturesque
allurements of clinging folds.
Clinging folds are much in fashion
just now. and few styles are more
graceful than the most prevalent,
which embraces a corselet skirt fitted
round the waist and hips and falling
in full folds to the feet, the corselet
being low in the front and high at the
hack, while square or semi-circular
bretelles hang over the sleeves to give
the essential long-shouldered line.
The dress is filled to the neck with
soft chiffon or lace, and bears sleeves
to match trimmed perhaps with bands
of cloth to correspond with the skirt;
and over this costume is a loose coat
of Chinese shape, always with the
lines drooping from the shoulders the
length of this, and extends either to
the waist or to the hips. The hat is
placed boldly over the forehead and
bears a drooping plume at the back,
the whole contour of costume, from
head to heel, seeming to droop with
pn unaffected grace in every pleat.
It is easy to imagine that under the
pegis of this sort of costume the least
graceful woman might have a share
«f elegance, so that she regulate the
length of the coat and skirt and the
commencement of the corselet in the
front and back to suit her special pro
portions. Sometimes these corselet
skirts are entirely made in pleats,
small box pleats closely cut together,
md stitched firmly down to the hips,
whence they flow to the hem On
other models they are contrived with
the bretelles made with a sort of
waistcoat effect. But they form a by
10 means ideal waistcoat, a garment
which is at its best when made sep
irately of striped velvet ,or silk and
worn with an ordinary narrow skirt
snd coat of masculine simplicity.
An admirable example of a spring
dress is made of black cloth with a
corselet skirt, and a waistcoat of
natural Shangtung silk, buttoned with
black, showing above and below a
soft shirt of white chiffon. The
sleeves of the little black coat are cut
•short and broad and wide, trimmed at
!he edge with a soft braid, and lined
with the Shangtung silk, and the hat
which is destined to complete the
effect is small of shape, with the brim
pointing towards the front, trimmed
on either side with a large rosette of
gathered black glace, whence black
wings outspread themselves.
In the costumes shown in our illus
tration may be seen expressed the uni
versal fancy for the long shoulder line,
and the prevailing desire to conceal
the fact of an armhole. Not a bad
desire, either, when you come to con
sider it, for the armhole has always
been a point liable to reveal the hand
of the expert or of the inexpert, and
by hiding its existence a better
chance is given to the amateur, who
might indeed well achieve a faithful
realization of sketch number one.
made of a finely striped thin cloth
and possessed of an unlined skirt, and
a bloused bodice, contrived into
straps, over the shoulder to display ar.
under-bodice of ecru lace. Em
broidered buttons hold these straps,
and also put in their appearance on
either side of the front.
The evening frock has a skirt of
black and white stripe, which might
either be accomplished in satin and
silk or in velvet and chiffon, the lat
ter involving infinitely more trouble,
but being infinitely, more effective,
and the solid hem of silk and satin or
velvet would invest it with durabil
ity. Rosettes of ribbon decorate the
skirt, held in the centers with dia
mond buttons, and the bretelles are
of white embroidered in jet and dia
monds. and on these again smaller
rosettes put in an appearance, while
tassels of jet. hang on each side of
the draped corselet bodice.
The woman who dons a new spring
hat should consider its suitability to
her costume, and she who can pur
chase but one hat only will do well
to avoid those with very narrow front
brims and extremely wide back brims.
This fashion is ephemeral, is trying
to most people, and is conspicuous.
Many of the spring hats are quite
flat and are trimmed with wings flat
ly arranged. Manjr have flat loops
of velvet filling in‘under the brim
at the back. When the hat Is light,
the wings of medium shades, and the
velvet loops much darker, the effect
is excellent.
STEERS SWIM TO SAFETY.
Respond to Master’s Call, Heard
Quarter of Mile Away.
In response to their master's call,
heard a quarter of a mile away above
the road of raging waters in the
blackness of a stormy night, a herd
of 67 steers, penned in a lot surround
ed by a barbed wire fence, leaped in
to the roaring stream from the spot
where they had taken their last stand
on high ground in the middle of the
lot, swam over the fence, and swim
ming together, reached the shore
without a single loss.
Such is the report which reached
Columbia, Mo., from Perche creek,
seven miles away. The creek, which
joins the Missouri only a few miles
from the point in question, was on a
rampage and had flooded the country
for miles.
Frank Scott, the owner of the
steers, had trained them to come at
his calling. When the current ma
rooned them at midnight he rode as
close as he could and called to them
with the astounding success reported
—N. Y. Times.
LIKE THE SOAPBERRY TREE.
Its Cultivation to Be Attempted
Southern States.
The soapberry tree, Sapindus mar
ginatus utilis, has been quite exten
sively cultivated in Algeria for its
berries, which are rich in sajxmin,
and are sent to Germany for use in
the manufacture of soap, says the
Scientific American. Similar quali
ties are possessed by the Florida
snap tree, Sapindus manatensis utilis,
commonly known as the China soap
tree, from the fact that it was original
ly introduced from China. E. Mou
line, of Jacksonville, Fla., has recent
ly been engaged in promoting the cul
tivation of this tree in the southern
states by a free distribution of seeds.
The tree grows to a height of 40 or
50 feet and begins to bear fruit in the
sixth year. The berries are about the
size of cherries and consist of a hard,
yellow-brown wax-like shell, inclosing
a large black seed. The shell is rich
in saponin, and if bits of it are agi
tated in water a lather will at once
begin to form. By grinding the shells
a brownish soap powder is obtained
which possesses valuable cleansing
properties. The hard, black seeds of
the mulberry tree have been used in
the manufacture of beads: they also
yield a fine oil useful in soap manu
facture, as well as in other indus
tries.

Some Trade Frauds.
Siberian butter goes to Hamburg,

sugar goes to Japan in an Austrian

been formed :in Russia.
A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu
tation of a Limb.
B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of
Roosevelt avenue, Indianapolis, Ind.,
says: “I had been
showing symptoms of
kidney trouble from
the time I was mus
tered out of the army,
but in all my life I
never suffered as in
185*7. Headaches, diz
ziness and sleepless
ness, first, aid then
dropsy. I was weak
and helpless, having
run down from ISO to 125 pounds. I
was having terrible pain in the kid
neys,’ and the secretions passed almost
involuntarily. My left leg swelled un
til it was 34 inches around, and the
doctor tapped it night and morning
until I could no longer stand it, and
then he advised amputation. I re
fused, and began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. The swelling subsided gradu
ally, the urine became natural, and all
my pains and aches disappeared. I •
have been well now for nine years .

Town Belle Criticised.
A town belle got off the train at a
small town between Atchison and To

shook hands with her left hand, wore
a larger hat than the girls who met
her, wore pretty loud clothes, chewed
gum and when she hit the cinder plat

grinned at her and said: "Hello,
there!" This town belle was not bad
looking, but she couldn't keep her
mouth closed even when she was not
talking.—Kansas City Journal.

Strength for Women
Tour Weakness
Is almost surely due to some trouble of the womanly or
gans, which acts unfavorably upon your whole constitution.
Women are naturally weaker than men, because of
the special delicacy of the womanly organs.
Wine of Cardui’s success, in benefiting and curing
sick women, is due to the fact that it gives women strength
where they most need It. <
It is composed of certain vegetable extracts and in
gredients, which act gently and sympathetically upon the
female organs and constitution, regulating, strengthening
and rebuilding. All these are facts.
Mrs. Annie Hutton, of Goltry, Okla., writes: "1 suffered greatly with
female pains and weakness. 1 was so weak I could hardly stand. I had
cramps, leg aches, trembling spells and could not sleep weiL 1 fwym
to take Cardui and in a week I was much better. You can have no
idea how much good it has done me. I feel better all over and recom
mend Cardui to all my friends.” Sold at all druggists In $1.00
