There is no other disease so many
sided in it's i'll effects, so insidious in its
approach, so tenacious in it's hold upon
the system, as la grippe. Once there. it
stays until it is cured. La grippe Is one
of the ills that time will not cure.
The after-effects OF la grippe do not
locate in any particular organ. 1t
amounts to a general irritability of the
mucous membranes of the whole body
fiabbiness and paleness of the mucous
membrane. Sometimes there is an over
amount of thin. watery mucous secreted,
and at other times there is a dryness of
the mucous surfaces.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by la
grippe better than the remedy Peruua.
Peruna strengthens as 1t renovates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals as it
e1purgates.
Peruna is not purgative or cathartic,
or sedatlve, or stimulant, nor vegetable
or mineral poison. 1t reaches the source
of all diseases OF the mucous membranes
by its action on the vaso-motor system
of nerves.

SLANG IN WOMANS COLLEGES
Touch of 1t Ofttimes Gives Piquan-
scy to Conversation, Says A
PrOfessOs.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Nowadays" said professor in wo-
mans college yesterday, slang Is accept
ed as an almost necessary evil, an inev-
liable means of grace for young people
of both sexes. Indeed, it must be admit
ted in general that touch of so-caned
slang ofttimes gives piquancy to CONVEX
sation, just as a soupcon of red pepper
improves many a dish. There are certain
words that we almost have to use to meet
the emergencies which arise so rapidly
in our American life. We cannot take
time to frame our sentences in Adisonian
style. Every one has felt the exaspera-
ton of waiting for a deliberate, pains
taking mortal to tell some trivial thing
in precise language.
"Just how does slang creep into current
use? Much of it is from questionable
sources, and naturally associated with
just such a semi-vioious, doubtful class
of characters as Dickens could 80 admir-
ably portray. Every vocation, every walk
in life, has its own peculiar short cuts
to expression. In college communities
much of this off-hand phraseology is a
natural outgrowth of environment.
zone expects the college young man to
use slang, but its use by the young wo-
man who is following academic highways
is often startling. Where a mother and
father will laugh or pass over their sons
expressions, they viii be infinitely shock
ed to hear the same thing from their
daughter. Not long ago a Smith College
girl, exhibiting thirty or forty photo
graphs of college friends 40 the woman
whom she was visiting, described every

IF the question were asked, Does the

imitation would be dhe inevitable an

proverbially unoriginal. Moreover, there
is in every woman's college a class of

who do like to initiate their brothers, to
be mannsh; there is no begging the fact
And it is through this class of girls that
the slang habit grows.
THE woman's college student does not
use such fresh, I. e.. new slang, as does
her brother, which also goes to prove the
fact of imitation. When the Annapolis
cadet asked the Vassar girl recently IL he
might drag her to the hop he had to
explain that he was requesting to escort
her. At West Point festivity the other
day a shy little freshman from woman's
college not a hundred miles away was hor-

A Remedy for the Cure of Piles
which Has Met with Remarkable
Success.

There are many popular medicines that
are known In every household in America.
There are blood purifiers. nerve tonics,
headache powders. dyspepsia cures and
cough cures which are sold In every drug

But all Of these must divide popularity
with many rivals, no one remedy has the
field to Itself with the single exception of
pile cures for 1t is a singular fact, that
among the host of remedies, there is but
one pile cure that can be considered as
having a national reputation, without a
rival and the remedy referred to is the
Pyramid Pile Cure, which for seven years
has steadily worked into public favor by
reason of its extraordinary merit and a
method and a record of remarkable cures,

mia ana from Manitoba to the Gulf Of

or two but the Pyramid Pile Cure has
rapidly supplanted them all and really

piles is in no sense an imaginary trouble,
that a simple salye or ointment will cure,
but an obstinate, painful and often dan
