Hon.

Finally I learned of the remedy, Peruna, through a friend who had used it. I took Peruna for twenty-two weeks, and am now entirely cured. I have every reason to think my cure a apermanent one, as ithas been a year since then. I can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy; it will cure when ali other remedies fail."

HALF OUR ILLSARE CATARRH. Proof From All Sections That Peru.na Cures
 Catarrh Wherever. Located
Peruna Not q Cures AIls

Peruna is not a"curo all J; it cures just one disease--catarrh But since catarrh is able to fasten itself within the differ- ent organs of the body, so it is that Pe- runa cures affections of these organs. But we insist that Peruna cures one dis- ease only. We claim that Peruna is the only internal, scientific remedy for ca- tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca- tarrh is systemic disease; that is to say, it invades the whole system. We claim that Fortuna is systemic remedy; that is to say, 1t eradicates catarrh from the system. Catarrh is not local dis ease; Peruna is not 8 local remedy. Since catarrh invades the system, only systemic remedy can reach it. This is, in brief, our claim in assigning to the disease--catarrh-ou remedy, Peruna.
 There is no medicine that can take it's place. Address The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, O., for free catarrh book.

wood,
With the icicles. hail and the rain.
His hair and his whiskers are frowsed
and long;
Forget-me-not blue are his eyes;
They tenderly beam with the love of
his heart,
And they always are watching the
skies.
And just about Christmas-time, people
have said,
He takes down his fiddle and bow,
And through the dark nights he will
play funny tunes,
And whistle and whistle for snow
Then, when the bare branches are frosty
and white,
He bitches up Dixie and Dan,
And high over hill-tops and fences and
walls
He flies with his magical span.
And all through the night, by the light
of the moon
He searches for trinkets and toys,
And gimcracks and dollies for good little
girls,
And trumpets and drums for the boys.
Then the night before Christmas he
loads up his sleigh,
And puts on his slippers OF down,
His specs and his wrap, and comical
cap,
And over the roofs of the town,
While children are sleeping all snug in
their beds,
This little mysterious man,
With prancing and dancing and jingle of
Goes dashing with Dixie and Dan;
And down every chimney he goes with
a pack,
AS slyly and still as mink,
And each little stocking he fills up with
toys,
Then scoots out as quick as wink.
And now you will know him-that funny
old man
The man with for-get-me-not eyes;
And l rather think by some things that
l know,
That to-day he is watching the skies.
And when the bright moonlight steals
into my room,
Or hear the cold, stormy wind blow,
I think the old man may be looking for
toys,
Or perhaps he is whistling for snow.

happiness we too rejoice. And even in
the homes where no young life is, the
JOY of the heart of hin who truly be-

81 heard the bells on Christmas day

And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men
LONGFELLOw.
Who of us is not instinctively cheered
by that glorious refrain OF peace on
earth, good will to men," How much
more it means to us than we really feel.
When we give it moments serious
thought, the truer meaning OF Christ
mas forces itself upon us-but do we
not soon forget this in the hurry and
hustle that seems to be necessary at
this time? Is there not danger that the
spiritual element will drop wholly out
of our HOLIDAYS; that Thanksgiving will
become dedicated to dinner and football
Christmas to gift-giving and social func-
tions, and Easter to flowers and new
clothes? Is there not something higher
in all these days? They each have a
sacred significance.
When we look back to the days OF our
Puritan ancestors, the beautiful spirit OF
these days was made more part OF
their festivities and | am sure that that
spirit was carried into the lives OF those
who had not the outside distractions
that hamper us today. Can the world
be growing better when we push into
the back ground, the message that these
days are meant to bring us. Ii We
really believe what we profess to believe,
that Christ came on earth as babe
to take upon Himself our form in order
that we might have an example for our
life; that He came to redeem US; that
he came to bring US that 'peace which
passeth understanding"-if we believe
all this, our Christmas day will gain a
deeper meaning; will be one of sacred

Some Curious Christmas Customs.

Very few of us, l imagine, give
thought to first celebrating Christmas
day as festival. The first record that
| can find was in 90 when little band OF
Christians came together to have a SER
vice OF Thanksgiving. 1t was first or
dered to be held as solemn feast by
Pope Telesphorus, about 1877. This GUS
tom was probably kept up until 2S4
when Diodetion the Roman Superior,
being Informed that the Christians were
assembled on this day in great multi
tudes to celebrate Christ's nativity, or
dered the doors to be shut and the church
to be set on fire, burning up about co.,
people. Since that time the celebratingof
Christmas day has been observed with
every variety of form from the religious
down to the most peculiar freaks of sup
erstition. In countries where the farm
ers depend largely on their fruit trees
for their income, the customs are very
curious. In various parts of Germany
they adopt different methods of invoking
the good spirits to give them successful
crop. In one place the bells are rung
while the farmers bind up the fruit
trees. The bells keep away the evil
spirits from blighting the orchards. In
Bohemia during midnight mass, some
one leaves the church to shake the fruit
trees violently, shaking out the evil
spirits which have the power to settle in
them on that one night. German house
wives shake their table cloths round the
roots of the apple trees SO that the
crumbs from the Christmas feast may
enrich the roots.
In Syria the maidens join hands in a
circle around blindfolded gander. The
one he first touches with his bill will be
the first bride. In South Germany the
wepelrot is turned on Christmas eve.
A wheel made of willow is gilded, and
has for its center flashing star. The
spokes come through the rim like spikes,
and on each spoke an apple is stuck.
This is thrown into the house as a token
OF good will. and something is demanded
in return. The donor runs away, but is
invariably overtaken, brought back and
has to drink the health of the entire
family. In the Channel Islands the
wren PLAYS an important part. In Scot
land the wren is called the "Lady of
Heavens Hen," and the boys sing this
ditty:
"Malisons, malisons, mair than ten,
That harry the ladye of heavens hen"
In Ireland the boys kill the wren,
fasten it with holly and ivy to broom
stick, and go from house to house
singing:
"The wren. the wren, the king of all birds,
StStephen' day was caught in thefreeze ;
Although he's little, his family is great,
I pray you, good lady, give us treat"
In still another place the priest b.esses
the bird. II the women su cceeded
