Girls Who Attract Men.

The girls who attract the best men
are almost always source of surprise
to their feminine friends, who are
often lost in wonder as to why so
many more patent charms should
have been passed over in such selec-
tons, writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in
the January Ladies Home Journal.
1t is the little mouse OF woman. the
shrinking, shy creature left in the
background by her holder sisters, we
constantly see Thought to the front
by the man who has won her love.
Aud men prefer to any such coquet-
fish invitation as that extended by
Mrs. Bond of the nursery rhyme to
her ducks when decoying them to
come and be killed, the uncertainty
hanging around being to whom they
have to sue
Every mans ideal of a wife-I
mean the normal, honest citizen of
our. Republic, who looks forward to
making of himself and his line, stones
to support its bulwark-is a girl who
may lie pretty, who might be brilliant,
but who must be good. He also rec
cognizes instinctively that her grace
should not be too costly to wear every
day. That she shall be cheerful of
temper, inclined to take short views
of human infirmity, and sound of
health, he is apt gravely to consider,
within himself, as essential. If all
those who. before marrying, omitted
to think about these things had done
50, it is possible we should hear less
today of the incompatibility of man
and woman.

AN OLD COLD
Is Chronic Catarrh, the Worst Dis.
ease Known.

The first stage of catarrh is COM
monty called catching cold. 1t may
begin in the head, nose, throat, or
lungs. In the majority OF cases no at
tention is paid to a cold, Therefore
nearly half Of the people have chronic
catarrh in some form. To neglect a
cold is to invite catarrh.
The second stage of catarrh is some
times called an old cold. If in the
head, there is roaring. cracking in the
ears, periodical headache, and confu-
sion of the senses. If in the nose, dis
charge, sneezing, noisy breathing, and
bad breath. In the throat it produces
enlarged tonsils, hawking. sore throat,
hoarseness, or weak voice. When the
catarrh reaches the bronchial tubes
and lungs it produces cough. pain in
the chest, expectoration. night sweats,
loss of flesh, and shortness of breath.
A cold in the head, which a single
bottle of Pe-ru-na will cure, soon be-
comes case of chronic catarrh, which
will require many bottles to entirely
cure. A sore throat, which one bottle
of Pe-ru-na will cure, soon becomes
chronic pharyngitis or enlarged ton
sis, which will require many bottles.
A slight cough, which, without yes
tige of doubt, would soon disappear
with the use of Pe-ru-na, becomes
chronic bronchitis. which requires a
persistent use of Pe-ru-na for some
time. There are great many cases
of consumption each year due directly
to a neglect of coughs, colds, etc,
which, if Pe-ru-na had been kept in
the house and used according to d.
rections, would have been prevented.
For free treatise on catarrh, coughs,
colds, consumption. and all diseases OF

Manufacturing Company, Columbus,

Literary Influence of the Bible.


Booksellers remark that every
Christmas the sale of Bibles for the
purpose of gifts grows larger. This
is but one evidence of the awakening
interest in the new form of Bible study
which does not con6ne itself wholly to
the religious aspect of the book, but
considers also the historical and liter
airy aspects. Too little stress has been
laid on the literary value of the Scrip
lures. The King James version is a
monument of the purest and best Eng
lish, and as such should be studied by
every writer and reader in the land.
There was much wisdom in the old
fashioned custom Of teaching children
verses and chapters from the Bible. In
his autobiography John Ruskin says
that he owes his own appreciation OF
good style to his early habit of com
uniting long passages Of Scripture to
memory. This is the greatest source
of moral and literary culture that a
child could have, for in the Bible alone
the grandest truths are couched in the
nobiest words. The boys and girls
who from childhood have been tamil
lar with the music of the Psalms, with
the magnificent imagery of Isaiah,
with the poetry of Job. with the touch
ing simplicity of the Gospel narrative,
have laid the finest foundation for
mental culture.
An individual whose taste has been
formed by the English Of the Scrip
lures will be better fitted to appreciate
Milton and Shakespeare and all other
great masters Of our language. There
is no fear that this aspect of Bible
study will obscure its first and great
est purpose. The beauty OF the words
will never take away the glory Of their
meaning. The verses learned in
childhood or studied for their literary
value in youth will come back in Some
hour OF joy or sorrow fraught with a
new meaning of comfort and inspira-
tion. New York Press

as may be on the person of him who
has the cigarettes, little paper boat
