CATARRH

or Inflammation of this delicate pink

The system is weakened in win

susceptible to irritation or inhanna-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble IS some
other disease and not catarTh. Call
it what You viii, one thing is sure,
your system Is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

Then he added, well, the ant has
got his Thanksgiving dinner all right"
And this brought back to his mind the
thought Of his own errand, so he set
out again for the market. But, though
he did not think he had spent much
time watching the ant and the spider
and though he ran us fast as he could.
the market was closed for the day
when he reached 1t.
1t was long, unhappy trudge back
home for Fred. He did not take the
short cut. for he was in no hurry to
face the wrath that he felt awaited
him there. But as he came up the al
ley and climbed the back fence he saw
something which made him wonder.
There was the whole family In the
back yard and Dennis strutting about,
tied long by, one leg to the clothes post.
Mr.. Slawson was digging worms. which
Robbie was feeding to the turkey.
while the women stood looking on
Fred could not understand it at all.
On his slow way home he had consid-
cred many different excuses. but when
he saw the cheerful faces in the back
yard he forgot them ALL AS he slid
down from the fence he was greeted
| with laughter. and Robbie came run
, ming toward him. shouting:
"Oh. Fred. pa amt going to kill Den
nis!'
This was the way Of It: When Fred
had started for market, Robbie, partly
from fear that somebody would ex-
tract from him the terrible secret which
was burning in his conscience and
| partly to see II Dennis was all right,
had crawled under the front porch.
Once there with the turkey, he had for
gotten his fears and soon was holding
Dennis in his little arms and talking
to him as II they two were the only liv-
ing creatures on earth. The sound OF
his shrill little voice had been heard by
! Mrs. Slawson when she went out to
pick flowers for the table. and she had
discovered him and the lost turkey.
] Thus driven to the last defense. Robbie
had crawled out and, with great tears
running down his dirty cheeks, had
begged biz mamma not to let papa kill
