MISS ANNIE CATRON. s a. Mt :: ! 111 If? if CATARRH MADE LIFE A BURDEN TO ME. MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St., Cincinuati. Ohio, writes: "As I have found Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I ara only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. "Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life a burden to me, my breath warn offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up bo that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, noth ing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me. "However, I did buy a bottle, and be fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged 1 kept on until I was com pletely cured in a month's time, and I find that my general health is also ex cellent." People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-ISn the Ideal Laxative. Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almaqac for 1908.

We all long for' beauty, but there Ib within the grasp of all women something even more desirable than beauty namely, exquisite neatness. The writer has descanted on the de sirability of neatness more than once, but it is something that will bear to be talked about more than once, or twice, or even a dozen times. "Faith," says Pat, when reproved for lying, Oi have such a respect for Truth, Oi wud not be dhragging her out on every occashun." The writer differs in this respect from Pat. She, has such a re spect for neatness that she would be dragging her out on every occasion. A man who had traveled much and seen many women In many countries, said the other day, "I prefer neatness to beauty. Beauty does not last, while the woman of 80 can still be charm ingly neat." By neatness he meant more than simple tidiness. It Includ ed stj'le and care and taste and the indefinable art of putting on one's clothes properly. It is a faculty, alas, that Canadian women do not possess to any extent, says a writer in the Montreal Herald. They doubtless in herit the lack of it from their English ancestors, who are noticeably untidy. The mass of Englishwomen do not seem to know the meaning of the word. Their skirts and belts always separate at the back. Their hair is never beautifully colffed like the Frenchwoman s, their whole aspect is , frowsy to an extreme. Of course, this does not apply to all Englishwomen. There are exceptions to every rule. On the other hand, the Americans are neat, and hence smart, for it is im possible to be smart without perfect neatness. They have a trim, trig way of wearing their clothes that gives a style to the cheapest ready-made. If you cannot be beautiful you can at least be charmingly neat. And neat ness has an attractiveness that mere beauty lacks. Diabolo in the Past. More diabolo discoveries. In the National library at Paris are two prints, one entitled "The Game of Dia bolo at the Beginning of the Last Cen tury;" the other entitled "The Devil for Four (the old diabolo)." Two couples are playing diabolo excitedly in a room; the furniture is upset and the mirrors broken. Another design is entitled: "The Good Devil, How He Goes!" A young woman throws a big, simple fellow in the air, and from his pocket fall pieces of gold. In the same picture is another woman, with her .diabolo cord round the neck of a man, with the inscription below: "See how we lead them!" Dia'iolo raised a ;furor in France in 1812. It was then, according to the Figaro correspondent, imported from England, and an Eng lish caricature of a later date repre sents a great Wellington sending to .St. Helena's a very little Napoleon rid ing on a diabolo. Long before the revolution of 1789 some missionaries in Peking sent an exact reproduction of diabolo to a French minister of state who collected Chinese curiosi- .ties. The Chinese are always found to have- forgotten everything we are be ginning to learn! Dundoo Advertiser; A Sailor and a Chow Dog. At the hour when women were mak ing afternoon calls one day last week a man attired in the uniform of a sailor in ' the navy attracted a good .deal of attention in West Fifty-fourth street. New York, by something he carried under his right arm, a some 'thing that looked at first like a white .'bundle, but which, on closer inspec tion, proved to be a Chinese chow dog (that the sailor was trying to sell. The 'little animal was unusual enough in 'itself to catch the eyes of the women who stopped to speak to the sailor 'about it. But more unusual than that !was the way in which the tiny pet was clothed as protection against the cold. fHe not only wore a coat with "sleeves" (Tor his front and hind legs, but he also had his furry head covered with a (veritable baby's hood, with a ruffle around the front of it, the cap being tied under his neck with red ribbons. The "costume" attracted quite as much notice as the chow dog did so long as its owner remained in sight on the block. Future Hardwood Supply. America's future hardwood supply jnust come mainly from the- Appa lachian mountains, according to the torest service. The other chief cen ters of production are now in the lake states and lower Mississippi valley, but in the former the presence of hard woods is an almost certain indication of rich soil, and the tracts once cleared are turned to agricultural uses. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi the production of hard woods has reached its height, and in Missouri and Texas it has begun to decline. The Appalachians contain the largest body of this timber remaining in the TJnlted States, and have the greatest variety of species. Rightly managed, their forests would produce 20,000,000. .000 feet per year, since their. soil and climate combine to make heavy stands and cause rapid growth. Much of thi( area,- however, has been so damaged by fire and cutting that it will be years before its 75,000,000 acres are fully productive. Leslie's Weekly. Queens. "You may not believe me," said the conceited beau, "but I called on four ladles last night." "What!" snorted the poker fiend, "you must be a quitter. I'd keep on raising all night if I had a hand like that" VIRGINIA MERCHANT RID OF A VERY BIG GRAVEL STONE. Another Remarkable Cure of Serious Kidney Trouble. C. lu Wood, a prominent merchant of Fentress, Norfolk Co., Va., was suf fering some months ago with frequent at tacks of hard pain in the hack, kidneys and bladder and the kidney secretions were irregularly scanty or profuse. Medical treatment failed to cure him. "At last," says Mr. Wood, "I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and before one box was gone, I went through four days of intense pain, finally passing a stone, one-half by five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. I haven't had a sign of kidney trouble since." - Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. TRUE AFFECTION, Ethel Jimmy, do yon love me?

DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA" In Bad Case of Eczema on Child Disease Had Reached a Fearful State His Order Resulted in Complete Cure. "When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticnra Remedies which I did and I was en tirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura : Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did a lot for me.
