PE-RU-NA is A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.
a Letter from Congress

NERUNA is great family medicine.
~ The women praise 1T as well as the
men; it is just the thing for the
many little catarrhal ailments of child
hood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success has
been in the use of Peruna in their fam
lilies:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 100 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
81 will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. 1 took severe colS
which gave me a hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is we'll.
II cannot express my thanks in words,
but recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for l can conscientiously
say that there is no medicine like Peru
na Nearly everyone in this town knew
about the sickness of myself and fam
lily, and they have seen with astonish-
ment what ,Peruna has done for us.
Many followed our example, and the
result was health. Thanking you
heartily, L am L. j. Sherrinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
II consider Peruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. 1t is
twenty medicines in one, and has so far
cured every sickness that has been in
my home for five years. consider ltof
special value to weakly women, as it
builds up the general health, drives out
disease and keeps you in the best of
health. Mrs. Mamie Wallace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys
1t is just as sure to cure a case of catarrh
of the bowels as it is case of catarrh

Isabel Crathmore'S Revenge.

Society was on the "qui vive. To-

South Side set. She was unquestion-

Isabel thought and pondered. Har-

His name sounds so familiar; l GER

great superiority over other men; that

they were engaged and how happy she
was. They were to be married in the

Are Poets Born or Made7

Authorities seem to agree that
poetic talent is somewhat capricious,
and that, though great poets are
great by nature rather than by traia-
ing. they rarely transmit their gifts to
their children Heredity may have
some influence on their talents, but
recent Investigations do not agree on
details. Francis Cation, the great
English authority, states that, with
poets and artists, the influence of
the female line is enormously less
than the male, while Drs. Chaslin and
Mobius, two French investigators,
have come to an exactly opposite con
.clusion. In recent discussion at the
Paris Medico- Psychological Society
DR.. Chaslin stated that the mother of
"a poet is always intellectually gifted
whereas the son of a stupid woman is
always stupid. Apparently the quee'
ton will bear further study.-Suc.

A GREAT SUFFERER FROM
RHEUMATISM.
Cured by st. Jacobs Oil.


Mr.. e. G. Moore, of z, Phillips
Street, Kingsland:
Il was a great sufferer from Rheu-
matism for many years, during which
time / tried many remedies, from
which l received but very little relief
Icing advised to use st. Jacobs Oil,
! did so, and am happy to say that
after few applications l felt great
relief, and continuing it's use l can
now say ! am perfectly well. st.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion, thing
which should be in every household"
What a blessing, and what hours of
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr.. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
st. Jacobs Oil at first, instead of
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which, unfortunately the market is
flooded. The public should not lose
sight of the fact that ST. Jacobs Oil
has conquered pain for more than fifty
years, and it isn't going to stop doing
the same thing now or at any futNre
time.-Fifty years record Of pain
conquering is record to inspire con-
fidence.

Conductors Wife Makes Tissue Paper
Lamp Shade With Bell Punch.
Mackenzie is conductor on an owl
train on the L." consequently he
does his sleeping in the daytime.
Now as everyone knows who has
occasion to use the elevated after IL
o'clock, the fares, after passing Ger
tain points on the line, are collected
by the conductors, who, for the pur
pose of registration, carry the little
bell punches once SO familiar on the
surface lines.
One afternoon last week he was
reused from his diurnal slumbers by
his Industrious little wife who
brought out for his admiration lamp
shade made of colored tissue paper.
She had made it with her own pretty
hands, and its scalloped border was
perforated with innumerable little
holes, through which the light OF the
parlor lamp would fall on the table.
Tell me if you think it pretty" de-
manded Mrs. Mackenzie, holding the
shade out for her husband to inspect
it.
ut looks lovely" began Mackenzie;
but as he scrutinized it more closely
he turned pale and said hoarsely:

one great comforter. Amid such f.
deity, such constancy, Isabel forgot
aught else. She determined to make
him love her at any cost; she must
avenge Katharyn.
Finally, Mrs. Larkin's last recep-
ton of the year, society had been
doting on it. The house was brilliant
in a sort of a luminous haze-beauty
and wit mingled.
Isabel looked charming in a fairy
creation of pure white What a NOV
ing scene of enchantment, she thought.
After moment she began to pick her
friends out from the maze. in which
every one at first seemed confused in
one magic sensation.
Harold Vance came Immediately to
her, and speaking low said: Miss
Crathmore, there is something must
tell you tonight" "He loves, me.
oh! he loves me; it must be that he
loves me-" thought Isabel.

keep her secret-it was hidden in the

began to echide herself for being in

fell to thinking of her love for him
she could see his face outlined against
the night. A face of marvellous sweet

thought, a man OF implacable temper
and imperious soul. Her great love
for him came before her with such
awful vividuess, that her self-right

Gbe Silent Garden

1 know garden folded in
BY close clipt yew and lichened wall
That holds the sunshine all day long
Where winds move gently, If at all
There, like saved souls in Paradise
Whose peace is made, whose rest Is
Won
The white stoled lilies offer up
Their golden heart before the sun.
There the carnations are ablaze
And where the dark yews sigh and
stir
AS in a cloister set apart,
The wholesome hearted lavender.
Across the silent, sunny space
Down the straight paths, along the
grass
AmonG lie bending lily stalks,
Light treading shadows softly pass.
This is that garden ever still.
Beneath a changeless smile of Sky,
Where, mid the scent of lavender,
Walk Memory and I.

pairing the condition Of the inmates of this
institution with that of those at the
Brattleboro Retreat it Is only fair to state
that when transfers have been made /. g.
one In November. 1900 of %, and one in
September. 1902 of 20, the worst cases have
been selected. Under the efficient
management ofthe medical director, Or.
Berry, and his corps of assistants we
believe the very best possible Is being
done in the way of care and up to date
treatment of the patients. During the
biennial period an operating room has
been furnished and all operations found
necessary have been performed with no.
tably good results. The pathological
laboratory also under the supervision of
DR.. Berry is a material air in the diagno-
sis and consequent intelligent treatment
Of the patients.
The one thing lacking, and we believe
this same thing is Enthusiastically neces-
sary 10 the successful prevention of the
continuous increase of tuberculosis In
this institution; we refer to the need of
a separate building or pavilion where
these cases can be Isolated. When It is
understood that there Is an alarming
number of cases of this disease in the
institution, this need can be appreciat-
ed. Your committee earnestly recon-
mends and advises that an appropria-
ton he made for such A building. The
nurses home for which an appropriation
Of 5000. was made at the last general
assembly Is nearly ready for occupancy.
In the power room one new engine and
one new dynamo to carry 500 lights. and
one to carry 1900 is another prime ne
cessity. We therefore recommend an ap-
preparation of s1S. 600, for the State hos
pital. 5000 of the same to be used In the
installation of the above mentioned
machines in the power room and SO. 900
to be used as may be necessary for the
erection and furnishing a building for
t~ubercular patients. The committee also
recommend an appropriation Of 5000,
for the installation of a new kitchen de-
partment at the Brattleboro Retreat.
All of which Is respectfully submitted.

LIVE FOR THE LIVING.

A new mound rose near the foothills,
And my heart was underneath;
Ny friends were good, for they strewed il
With blossom and clinging wreath;
A voice came, borne on the stiffness:
Though the way seem hard, be true;
On-live thy life for the living,
AS the dead have lived for you.'
] raised my han unto heaven
And a pledge ! made that day.
The voice had shown me my duty
And a light shown on the way.)
And these, the words of the promise,
That my constant guide shall be:
IN live my life for the living,
As the dead ave llved for me-"
The dead since earth was created,
Lived they not for you and me?
They made the world that we live In
Such a glorious place to be!
Take mine for your own lifc's motto
II will make you strong and true;
And live your life for the living
As the dead have lived for you.
