No man is better known in the State
of Nebraska than Mr.. Carl Il. Roberts,
contractor and mason. A typical Amcri-
Gun active, shrewd and full of business
sagacity. He is not only a provider for
his family, but n protector. In recent
letter TO DIR. Hartman he writes, among
other things, as follows:
Our boy, James, had the mcmbranous
Group and repeated attacks of lung fever.
Our boy. Charlie. was also subject to at
tacks of pneumonia and pleurisy. Our
third boy, John, was subject To fever and
asuc lmalariaD and liver trouble. Your
remedy, Pcrnna, cured my boys entire

boys in the State of Nebraska, which |

many years. | believe Pcruna is with
ont a doubt the best medicine that ever

NERVOUSNESS, with which ! had been af-
tlicted for a great number of years.
Ii is fact of cvcr-ncrcasing astonish-
mcnt that so many otherwise sensible
and providcnt people will, for the neg
lcct of so simple Il prccauton as to have
a bottle of Ierlna at hand. bring upon
themselves the needless suffering and
foolish expense that practitioner of
medicine is forced to witness every day.
AS soon as the value of Pcruna is fully
appreciated by every household, both as
a preventive and euro of these atfcctiolS,
tens of thousands of lives will he saved,
and hundreds of thousands of chronic,
lingering cascs of disease prevented. Pe-

Too Trusting.


Chicago Tribune: From the country.
That was evident.
Not the Dry Run or Pine Creek coun-
try, where two men use one pair of sus-
penders between them, and where women
with large bare feet make their own soap,
but the country just beyond the farthest
suburbs, where the young men and
women show the demoralizing influence
of metropolitan civilization within easy
reach by occasionally wearing high,
choky collars and golf things.
Obviously this was the habitat of the
large woman with the free stride who
swung along the crowded street with a
fat. good-sized pocketbook in her hand.

BILE wealth is another baneful effect of the
excessive culture peculiar to our large
centers of civilization and enlightenment.
Had she looked back she might have
noticed a swarthy, smooth-faced, sinister
person of the opposite sex. who had been
following her for five minutes or more
through the crowd without seeming to see
her.

The sight of the revolver in ths ANA

Lovely Women.

Lovely women.
E. w. Howe, suthor of "The Stosy
of Country Town and editor of the
Atchison Globe, is responsible for the
following:
A woman is glad afterward when
she refrained from saying something
mean, but man is sorry that he
didn't say it.
A woman has terrible struggle
with her conscience if she feels that
she didn't struggle enough with her
husband to get him to church.
A woman's letter to her sister is the
most trif1ing thing on earth.
Every girl demands more credit for
her piano playing than she is cnt
tied to.
A woman's idea of true friend is
one who, when she has company, will
entertain the guests and take them
downtown mornings to give her Il
chance to clean up the house.
SO some woman would say, Il know
she is older than that"
If girl sees another girl with a
dress on prettier than her own she
has a terribly hard time in giving her
face sweet expression.
The trouble is that girl thinks her
..l, l.,
mans love, and doesn't appreciate the
struggle that is coming to keep it.
When a woman believes everything
her husband tells her her confidence
doesn't denote imbccility as much as
i ii denotes extraordinary cleverness.
!, When guest doesn't bring clothes
suitable for a big reception in hel
honor her hostess gets over an awll-
ward situation by getting up tacky
party.

who are left to mourn elaborate on !;
