Hoods Pills easy to operas ss'; Is cents

For the first time in history,
says the st. Louis Republic of
Sunday, clustered nuns, with the
appreciation of the archbishop of
the diocese, have had their lives
insured to pay off a debt on their
institution. The nuns who have
taken this new departure are those
of the Visitation Convent, at Ca
banne and Beet avenue, in that
city. The exact indebtedness, be-
ing a private matter, is not known,
but the nuns have insured their
lives for the sum of $4,000 with
one of the big insurance compan-
les of the country. The negotia-
tions were carried on through awell
known lady writer of life insurance.
Young women" says the Repu-
bile, "have had their lives insured
before they entered converts,
bringing the policy as dowry in
place of individuals means to the
treasury of the cloister. But the
new idea seems popular, and life
insurance companies all over the
country are now seeking to insure
cloistered nuns. As for the nuns
themselves, the fact that they are
insured will make very little differ
ence in their lives. They have
had to undergo medical examine
ton, and they have had to sign
their names to the policies, and
then, in accordance with their
VOW of voluntary poverty, which
forbids their owning anything of
earthly value, they have assigned
them to the community through
its representative. That ended
the insurance business SO far as
they are concerned. They will
not be bothered with notifications
when premiums are due, as that
will be attended to by the Mother
Superior and her secretary"

FALL WEATHER DANGERS.
Much Sickness Expected by the
Authorities.
Puritdna Recommended for the Public Health,

A long season of hot weather has used
up the strength and pulled down the
flesh OF many people. Their stomachs
have become week and fiaccid.
This is noticed especially in the case of
children whose digestions seem to be par
alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is
also true of grown people, who are sur
prised that the cool days of approaching
fall make them feel worse, instead Of
better They have increased appetites
perhaps, but their enervated digestive
organs are unable to properly assimilate
their food.
The time is coming for cold nights and
mornings and warm Moons. The clothing
that is needed for the proper protection
of the vital organs in the early morning
becomes burdensome in the middle of the
day. 1t is the season of drafts and sud-
den changes, which find the system but
poorly prepared to stand such strains.
Many deaths will result in this season.
but the chief effect will be in the general
loss of public health until the people in
the community have been enabled to ad-
just themselves to the new climatic con-
ditions.
All doctors agree that great care is
needed both in food and clothing. In
necessary exposure should be avoided, and
especially should the stomach be given
every possible assistance in its important
functions. If the stomach is toned up
and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys
are kept in good working order, the
whole machinery of life is given strength
and renewed energy. The stomach is the
power producer Of the human body, and
80 per cent. Of all sickness comes from its
failure to do its proper work.
Physicians, chemists and practical
druggists who have administered and in
vestigated Puritana, the prize-formula of
DR.. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College,
have publicly and privately stated that it
is the one safe and effective stomach REM
