CLEANERS DANCE.
Dangerous Malady Affecting Men
Who work at Great Heights.


Who Work at Great Heights.
Even when the circumstances are,
comparatively speaking, in favor of the
window cleaner, there is one danger
which he must ever guard against and
one which affects all alike, the novice
and the oldest workman. For want of
a better name the men themselves call it
the window-cleaners' dance, but it
might better be termed the dance of
death, for if the first warning is disre-
garded there is no second chance.
This dance, as it is called, is nothing
more or less than an overpowering de-
sire to jump up ard down in clog-dance
fashion as if the knees were hinged.
What causes it no man can explain, al
though all doing that kind of work have
experienced it. The higher and more
dangerous the work the greater seems
to be the inclination to look downward
and more quickly about. Those who
have experienced it say that there is
first "a feeling of dizziness and then
sense of weakness, followed almost i'm
mediately by desire to jump up and
down.
So well is this peculiar fact known to
window cleaners and high workers
generally tndL new men are always eau
toned concerning it, and at the first
feeling of weakness a man loses no time
about getting inside the window, and
that ends his work until he RECEIVERS his
nerve.
William Wilson, one of the most eX-
perienced men in this city at this class
of work, came very near losing his life
because of this dance while at work
on the outside of the Ludlow-Saylor
building at Fourth and Elm streets.
He was on the outside of a window on
the fifth story. The sills were very mar
row and sloped toward the street. He
says of the experiences:
suddenly. and for no reason that
can account for, [ felt strong desire to
look downward to the street below. /
knew the risk I was running, but
could not help it. I felt as if I must
turn around somehow. Then began to
grow dizzy and just remember that
felt as if I was in a swing when the man
inside pulled me in through the win
dow. / was so weak / could not stand
for some time afterwards and quit work
for week before was able to get out
side again. st. Louis Republic

simple breakfast dish, and one that
is always welcomed by men, is ''picked

ing it, but the best one seems to be to
pick it into flakes, and wash repeatedly
until it is no longer salt, and then put
it into a pan of cold water and let il
come gradually to the boiling point
It must remain this way for at least
90 minutes. and it is important to re-
member that the water should not
really boil.
An excellent sauce is made by meas

When the water on the dish is at last
allowed to boil, turn it off and put the

it boil up for two minutes, then draw
it to the back of the stove. Season
with a little white pepper and add two

To Whom 1t May Concern:
most heartily recommend Pe-ru-na, as of
great benefit in cases of catarrh; it is espe-
cially beneficial wherever the mucous mem
branes are affected. As tonic it certainly
has no superior,
William A Obey
The national catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na,
is receiving many Endorsements from peo-
pie of national reputation. Governors rec
ommend Pe-ru-na; senators testify to its
merits; congressman speak in the highest
terms of its efficacy. The mayor of the city
where Pe-ru-na is manufactured praises this
catarrh remedy in unstinte1 terms. The
sheriff of the county where Pe-ru-na is made
speaks of 1t with the same enthusiasm; and
now comes forward ex-Secretary William A
Ohley, of the great State of West Virginia,
who recommends Pe-ru-na.
Everyone should have a copy of a book
of testimonials in the language of the people
concerning the cures of Pe-ru-na. These tes-
tiinonials are absolutely genuine and cover
a great variety of cases and cannot fail to
be of interest to every one. This book will
be sent free by The Peru ma Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio. This book CON
tains the testimonials and portraits of a
large number of people from the East, West,
North and South. Lawyers, doctors, preach
ers and teachers, farmers and mechanics
are to be found in its pages. The testi
rnonials are preserved in the exact language
OF the writer, and are therefore absolutely
genuine in every detail.

 A bodice worn by young matron who chaperoned these young women was of pink satin with black embroidery laid all over it. It was trimmed with three tiny outings of satin put on around the jacket and the sleeves. The vest was of plain surah belted with magenta.

It can produce the worst form of nervousness and debility by its de- engagements of the vasa-motor system of nerves.
