Tells How He Escaped the Terrors Of Many
Winters by Using Peruna

Isaac Brock, a citizen Of N,Lennan
county, Texas, has lived ~ years. He
now live. with his sonn-in-law at Valley
Mills, Texas.
In speaking Ct his good health and ex.
treme old age, Nh. Brock says:
"Aher a man has lived in the world as
long as have, he ought to have found out
great many things by experience.
zone Of the things have found out to
my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy
for ailments that are due directly to the effects
OF the climate.
"During my long life have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds,
eatarrh and diafrhoea. l had always sup
posed these affections to be different diseases,
but in reading Dr.. Harman's books have
found out that these affections are the same
and that they are properly called eatarrh.
~ had several long sieges with the grip.
At first did not know that Peruna was
remedy for this disease. When heard that
la grippe was epidemic eatarrh, l tried
Peruna for la grippe and found it to be just
the thing.
"As for Dr.. Harman's remedy, Pe-ru-na,
have found it to Re the best, if not the only,
reliable remedy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years, and l
attribute my good health and extreme old
age to this remedy.

is difficult to see-such as on hard
ground or in grass-note the direction
of the last footprint that you can see,
and then look on in the same direc-
ton, but well ahead of you-say TWEEN
ty to thirty yards-and in the grass
you will generally see the blades bent
or trodden, and on the hard ground
possibly stones displaced or scratched,
and so on-small signs, which, seen in
line one behind the other, give a
kind of track that otherwise would not
be noticed. 1 once tracked a bicycle
on a hard macadam road, where it
really made no impression at all, but
by looking along the surface of the road
for long distance ahead of me, under
the rising sun, as it happened, the line
it had taken was quite visible through
the almost invisible coating of dew
upon the ground. Standing on the
track, and looking down upon it close
to my feet, could not see the Slight
est sign of it.

not get away, whereas the roof of a
house will give you an almost equally
good view and possibly several differ
ent ways of getting to the ground.
Trees, for the same reason as towers,
must be used with caution. Remember
that men are very apt to forget to
look up in trees for you-unless they
see your footmarks on the ground lead
ing to a tree l have stood under a
large tree with an enemy up in it, and
never noticed him till he fired down at
me.
Tracking means following up foot
marks. 1t is called "spooring' in
South Africa Scouting without track
ing is like bread and butter without
the bread. The first thing to learn is
to distinguish the pace at which a
horse or man was moving when he
made the track. 1t will be seen that
a horse walking leaves pairs of foot
marks, each hind foot coming close
to the impression of the fore foot. At
a trot each pair of footmarks is at a
greater distance from the next, and
the ground is more forcibly struck, the
toe more deeply indented than at a
walk. At a canter there are two sin
gle footmarks, and then a pair; at a
gallop single footmarks deeply indent-
ed.
With man walking, the whole fiat
of the foot comes equally on the
ground, the feet little under one yard
apart. Running, the toes are more
deeply indented in the ground, and
the feet are more than a yard apart.

A Good Woman,s Hero.

Lucky is the man, writes Margaret
Hannis, who is some good woman's
hero. 1t may be that his worshiper
is mother, wife, sister or sweetheart.
1t matters not which, the conscious
ness that he is great in her eyes must,
if he is worth one atom of admiration,
inspire him to dare and do. But wheth-
er you are mother, sister, wife or
sweetheart, remember that it is not
an altogether impossible thing for your
hero to be just human. And remember,
too, that other folks do not look at
him through your eyes, so do not let it
break your heart when somebody init
mates that there are, to their thinking,
other men quite as good and great. At
any rate, do not expect them to bow
quite as low as you do. Carlyle has
said, and 1 know if you have thought
about the matter at all you have learn
ed just what he did, and believe just
what he prophecies, that: Hero wor-
ship exists, has existed and will for
ever exist, universally among man
kind" Of course, this means that men
do and will worship heroes as well as
women do and will, but there is, as
have told you, a point or two of differ
ence in mans and woman's hero.
A man worships his hero for what he
has done; a woman worships her hero
for what she believes he may do.

BARBER CAUGHT
In the Extraordinary Act of Cutting
His Own Hair

His Own Hair
81 saw barber do a most extraor-
binary thing the other day." remarked
gentleman in the Grunewald lobby
last evening. What was it?" in
CURED a friend; did he shave some
body without telling him his thatch
needed trimming Stranger than
that" replied the other; 81 saw him
cutting his own hair. 1t was the first
time ever witnessed anything of the
kind in my life, and / would have
sworn that it couldn't be done, but this
chap seemed to experience no trouble
whatever with the job. He was sitting
down before a mirror on a small table
and had another looking-glass propped
up on shelf behind him. That gave
him a pretty fair view of the back of
his head, and when my attention was
attracted to the performance he was
working away with comb and scissors
as if it was the most ordinary thing in
the world. noticed that he was ambi-
dextrous, and used both hands with
apparently equal ease, something that
must have helped him materially, but
nevertheless it was remarkable feat.
He got through before 1 escaped the
chair, and afterward 1 took a close
look at his head. 1t was as neat and
even piece of hair trimming as any
body would care to see, and had been
graduated down the back in the best
style of tonsorial art. The man told
me when l questioned him that he had
cut his own hair for years. and
wouldn't trust a barber on it. He
said he had just picked it up, and that
it came sort of natural I'll bet, all
the same, that he looked like a singed
cat while he was learning. It's not an
uncommon thing for Cinnamon to
shave their own heads, but we expect
all sorts of extraordinary things from
the Chinese, and this hair-cutting act
struck me as prize exploit for plain,
everyday white man. New Orleans

Perfumes Rare.

For trinity of virtues the jasmine

when Not to TAX. med,oin.

1t is mistake to fly to the medicine
chest directly one feels little out of
sorts, although of course in serious
illnesses drugs are invaluable. If the
nerves are out of order through worry
or overwork, rest and quiet are the
best doctors, with light, amusing liter
AZURE and recreation. A warm bath
may be taken at night and a cold
sponge in the morning. Light, nour-
ishing food and as much sleep as pos
sible. Many are afflicted with weak
circulation and suffer severely from
the cold. Flannels should always be
worn next the skin. good nourishing
food is indispensable, and tepid (not
cold) bath taken every morning with
a vigorous rubbing with rough towel
afterwards. Outdoor exercise in the
warmest part of the day, and course
of cod liver oil is usually beneficial.
For those who suffer from derange-
ment of the stomach or a sluggish
liver a different treatment is neces-
sary, but it is a mistake to be con-
stantly taking salts or pills. Very
often abstinence from any but the
plainest food, plenty of outdoor exer-
else and an occasional Turkish bath, is
all that is needed.

Living Within Ones Income.

There is an art of living within ones
income. And it is one worth a wom-
ans study. Many a woman wears
herself quite out trying to live up to
the demands of big house. Yes, a
big house does make demands. 1t says
to ones neighbors. 81 am important,
and the people who dwell within are
going to entertain as BELTS my dignity,
for they know you expect them to,
and how hard woman will work to
do what is expected of her socially"
There are a lot of houses that could
tell stories if they only would. Houses
are often chosen for their appearance
as well as comfort Fit your house to
your income. Do not try to fit your
income to your house. Though vel
vet gowns are lovely, you will have
little or no use for one unless you are
able to hold receptions of the stately
kind. Better to have two or three dain-
ty, but less expensive, gowns that you
can easily pay for, and not have to
ask your tired little seamstress to wait
for her fee for the making of them
when they are finished.

Uses Sf Glycerine.

Besides applying it to chapped hands
and taking it internally for colds, there
are many other uses for pure glycerine.
For laundry purposes it is invaluable,
especially in the washing of blankets,
fiannelS, and, indees, all materials for
which softened wafer is imperative;
the quantity to be uSed for such pur-
poses is practically infinitesimal, so
that it is not extravagapt; for instance,
a tablespoonful of the pure article in
large bucket, in which such large and
cumbrous things as blankets would be
washed, will prove exceedingly useful.
Applied to boots, leather CATERS, ETC.,
when these have been impaired and
hardened by damp, wet or mud, it pre-
vents cracks and untimely signs of
wear; it should be put on with rag
over night and wiped off before the
backing is applied in the morning. A
teaspoonful of the same substance add
ed to every pound of flour used in
bread and cake making is q great i'm
provement. Both coughs will be
shorter" and the articles when baked
keep fresh much longer. Finally, a
tablespoonful of glycerine to every
pound of fruit used in making jam
will often do away altogether with the
early capitalization which is the bane
of the thrifty housewife.

RAINMAKING OUTFITS.
Although Not Often Heard OF, the Rain
maker Is Working Away.


''Most people suppose that rainmak-
ing is a played-out fake" said carni-
val visitor from Wichita, Kas., but
that is great mistake. l know two
or three different rainmakers who
have all they can do in the dry sea-
son, and are making money hand over
fist. The most successful of the lot is
what is known as the Sunders Chemi-
cal Rocket company, which has head
quarters in st. Louis, and keeps several
wagon outfits on the go through Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, South
fits are rather interesting. They con-
sist of powerfully built wagons, fitted
up with apparatus for making hydro
gen gas and all the other parapherna-
liza of the business. The process is, of
course, a secret, but 1 have seen the
general way what they do. The
wagon is stopped at some convenient
point in the midst of the droughty
district and several small balloons are
inflated with gas. The balloons are
about eight feet in diameter and are
made of vanished paper. They carry
rockets, which are discharged by
means of time fuses when they reach
a certain altitude, supposed to be the
cloud strata. They make tremendous
noise, and can be heard distinctly for
miles, sounding exactly like sharp peals
4f
up to begin with, and if it doesn't rain
in thirty-siX hours the experiment is
repeated; in fact, they keep on put
ting up balloons as long as the farmers
keep putting up cash. The system of
the other rainmakers is practically the
same, although one concern owns a
small gun of about two or three inch
caliber, from which it shoots bombs
into the clouds. 1t is a very curious
and undeniable fact that showers do
actually follow their efforts in the
great majority of cases, and the list of
places and dates which they use on
their circulars is powerful argument
with any farmer. | saw a folder not
long ago on which twenty-five at
tempts were enumerated, seventeen of
which were followed by rain in from
two to thirty-six hours. This extraor-
binary percentage of success is readily
explained by the skeptics. The rain
makers are never called in, they say,
except after long period of drought,
when the probability of it's natural
termination is increased daily in COM
pound ratio. In other words, it would
rain anyhow, bombs or no bombs. You
don't see much about the business in
| the papers for the reason that the rain
wizards shun publicity. They deal
mainly with farmers societies. New
| Orleans Times-Democrat.
