She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope

Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
II suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
It interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try
it. Although I started in with little
faith, felt SO much better in week
that felt encouraged.
Il took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that l am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is the best thing I could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now.''-Minnie E. McAllister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and no
druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap limitations of
Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done every
day without doubt.
We would therefore caution all peo-

The passengers scarcely gave them a

He took seat by the window, just like
a longtime married man, While she sat
on the aisle. 1t was part of shrewd
plan. After two stations had been
passed, he began to read newspaper,
and let her ask questions twice before
he answered. This was strain. but
they were trying to establish record.
Suddenly he jerked forth his hand
kerchief to mop his brow, and with 1t
came many grains Of rice. Some fell
in the aisle, and some fell on the pas
sengers about them. In an instant the
couple became the target of half a
hundred searching eyes. She blushed
p1ettily; he looked like a sheep.

did the business, and, as further simu-
lation became useless, they held each
others hands during the remainder of
the journey.-Ohio State Journal.

Tho Laughing Plant of Arabia.

The laughing plant is a native OF
Central and Eastern Arabia. It gets its
name, not because the plant laughs
but because it is the cause of creating
laughter in any one eating it's seeds.
The plant is of moderate size, with
bright yellow flowers in clusters, and
soft, velvety seed pods, each of which
contains two or three seeds resembling
small black beans, which, if eaten,
produce effects analogous to those OF
laughing gas. The flavor of the seeds
Is somewhat like that of opium; they
taste sweet, while their odor produces
a sickening sensation. The seeds are
pulverized and taken in small doses.
Any one taking them begins to laugh
loudly and boisterously, and then
sings, dances, and cuts all kinds of
fantastic capers. The effects continue
for about an hour, and, when the ex-
citment ceases, the exhausted individ-
ual falls into a deep sleep, on awaken
ing from which he is utterly uncon-
scious of any such demonstrations hav-
ing been made by him when under the
influence of the seeds Of the laughing
plant.

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of St. Mary's
Academy, which appears in another
column of this paper. We do not need
to expatiate upon the scholastic advan-
tages of St. Mary's, for the catalogue
of the school shows the scope of work
included in its curriculum, which is
of the same high standard as that of
Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried
out faithfully in the class rooms. We
simply emphasize the spirit Of earnes.
devotion which makes every teacher
of St. Mary's loyalty strive to develop
each young girl attendant there into
the truest, noblest, and most intelligent
womanhood. Every advantage of
equipment in the class rooms, labora-
tories and study rooms, every care in
the matter of food and clothing, and
exceptional excellence of climatic. con-
ditions-all these features are found at
st. Mary's, in the perfection of develop
