"What does it look like?”
“Well, to tell you the truth.” replied
the amateur motorist. ”it is as ugly

‘•Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve
and blood remedy, calculated to build
up the broken-down health of worn-out
women. 1 have found by personal ex
perience that it acts as a wonderful re
storer of lost strength, assisting the
stomach to assimilate and digest tiie
fihjd. and building up worn-out tissues.
In my work I have had occasion to
recommend it freely, especially to
women.
• I know of nothing which is better to
build up the streugt li of a young mother,
in fact, all the ailments peculiar to
women, so 1 am pleased to give it my

Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
"Some years ago my three little
girls had a very bad form of eczema.
Itching eruptions formed on the backs
of their heads which were simply cov

failed. Then my mother recommended
the Outicura Remedies. 1 washed my
children's heads with Outicura Soap
and then applied the wonderful oint
ment, Outicura. I did this four or five
times and I can say that they have
been entirely cured. 1 have another
baby who is so plump that the folds of
skin on his neck were broken and even
bled. I used Outicura Soap and Outi

[Nerve Prostration is one of the great troubles tliat come to weak women, as
a result of neglected womanly ills. Pain acts on your nerves, like rust on steel, and
they simply go all to pieces. You can’t build rusty steel back again, and some
times you can't renew your nerves, so it’s best to begin in plenty of time to take

Damage Done by Rats.
“The western larmer is waking up
to a realization of the fact that he
is, as the agricultural department told
him some time ago, losing not less
than 1100,000,000 a year from rats,”
says J. H. Van Burden, a Milwaukee
grain merchant. "It costs about 50
cents a year to feed a rat. We know
this because we have boxed them up
and fed them as much grain as they
would eat for a year. It is a conserva
tive estimate to place our rat popula
tion at 150.000,000. About oae-third
of them live in the large cities, where
they do not get so much grain."

Now is the time to plan the trip — now while there’s nothing in
particular to keep you at home. Why not make up your mind to
get away from the cold for a week or two? Go down and see
what a big difference there is between a Northern winter and a
Southwestern winter.

winters so short.
You will want to see as much of the Southwest as possible on this trip. Y ou
can do it by asking the agent to sell you a ticket over the
Rock Island-Frisco
C. & E. I. Lines
Ir vou do that vou can go down through the Southwest by one route and return
by another.
You can also stop off in the Southwest as often a* you want at any place that

The Rock Island - Frisco trains always carry comfortable chair car*, and or.
excursion days Pullman tourist sleepers in addition to the regular standard
sleepers. A double berth in one of these tourist sleepers costs very little, and
is just as comfortable as anybody could want.
