Gland to Mouth" Livers.

One of the paradoxes of waste is that
the persons most addicted to it are not
men and women of Independent means
who can support themselves in spite Of
their eXtravagant expenditure, but the
poorer classes. There is hardly an able
bodied laborer who might not become
financially independent if he would but
carefully husband his receipts and
guard against the little leaks of need
less expense. But unfortunately this is
the one thing which the workingman
finds it the hardest to do. There are a
hundred laborers who are willing to
work hard to every half dozen who are
willing properly to husband their earn
ings. Instead of boarding q small per-
centage Of their receipts so as to pro-
vide against sickness or want of en-
ployment they eat and drink up their
earnings as they go, and thus in the
first financial crash, when mills and
factories "shut down" and capitalists
lock up their cash instead of using it
In great enterprises, they are ruined.
Men who thus live from hand to
mouth" never keeping more than a
days march ahead of actual want, are
little better off than slaves.-Success.

Count the Zines a Horse Roll.

uced that in doing this horses observe
an invariable rule?
Inc rule is that he always rolls over
either at the first or third attempt-
never at the secondhand more than
three attempts are never made. In
other words, If the horse succeeds in
rolling over at the first try, well and
good-that satisfies him; but if the
hrst attempt is failure, the second
one always is. Then he either rolls
quite over at the third or gives it UP.

II horses are rolling on sloping ground,
they usually roll up hill. This is more
easy of explanation than the strange
custom regulating the number of at
tempts. AS to this no adequate reason
has ever been offered. Will those In
genious people who tell us why dog
turns round before lying down, and
why ducks walk behind each other in a
string instead of abreast, explain why
a horse never makes four attempts to
roll over and never succeeds at the
second?

A JUDGES WIFE pzL% SH3{ o24 SI

Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from l2l7
West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi, as fol-
| lows:
81 suffered for years with pain in the
small of my back and right side. 1t in

social duties and l never supposed that
l would be cured, as the doctors medi-
cine did not seem to help me any.
fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that | decided to try it.
| Although started in with little faith, |
felt so much better in a week that felt
| encouraged.

and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail to

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are INC Cdtse Vi iIlOot Sdsco
of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection OF these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais-
ing it, Peruna is not palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
Dr. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.

More Laughter. Less Suicides.

The physiological benefits of laughter
cannot be oyerestimated. 1t shakes up
the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating
to q lively measure, stimulates the
blood corpuscles, enlivens the brain and
sometimes produces dislocation of the
law when INDUCED in too heartily by
a man with a large mouth. Used with
discretion, laughter is as inspiring as
sea breeze, as refreshing as an August
shower. Its moral effect is beyond
computation. 1t has killed more ridicu-
lous superstitions by its rollickinS roars
of unbellef than any other agency.
What can be more derisive than a
laugh? The man who laughs never
kills himself. This is the reason so few
Irishmen commit suicide.-Llterary
