A CHARITY FIB.
The Young Idea Was to Set the Sem
sitive Person Perfectly at Ease
About His Nose.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to 1t
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on 1t from the
moment the visitor entered the room until
be had chance TO speak to his mother, re-
lates the New York Herald.
rs it wrong to tell a story, mamma he
asked so that everybody could hear.
''Of course it is" she replied, with proper
degree of horror.
"But isn't it right to tell one just some
times?" he persisted.
well" she hesitated, possibly if one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
"And why does my little man ask such a
question:" inquired the gentleman very
coAxineiy.
Because" responded the boy, 81 wanted
TO cay your nose wasn't bit red, if some
body else wasn't going to say it pretty soon"
Later when the culprit WIS going to pun
ishment he asked his mother if she wouldn't
have licked him just the same if he had
told the truth.

Sailing Under False COIors

Oleomargarine men claim that their
product is wholesome food. The new
law is now in force imposing a tax of
ten cents pound on oleomargarine
colored to initiate butter. If nutri-
tious and healthful oleomargarine
should be sold on its merits, very
truthfulIy says the Globe-Democrat
Those who are willing to consume it
as a substitute for butter do not want
to pay anything additional for color
ing material. The public hopes that
the new law will be rigidly enforced.
Adulteration or deception practiced in
food is a-fraud on the people, and the
federal courts, when called on to act
will see that the new regulations are
enforced.

SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It..


nERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
the men; it is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments of
childhood.
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
families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 1O3 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
Il will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. took Il severe cold
which gave me 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'well.
IL cannot express my thanks in
words, but l recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for l can con-
scientiOusly say that there is no medi-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness of
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for US. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you nearby, L am L. y. ocher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
81 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. Iconsider
it of 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 Wal
lace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. 1t is just as sure to cure case
of catarrh of the bowels as it is a case
of catarrh of the head.

The farmer that sells a horse in

Investigations recently made show
beyond a doubt that the oldest warship
extant is the Victory, Admiral Nelson's
flagship at the battle of Trafalgar.
The Victory was launched in 1765, and
is now 1877 years old. 1t has passed
many a year tied up to the dock at
Portsmouth, and the tooth of time has
left it's destructive mark on it. Not
long ago the British admiralty spent
a considerable sum of money in saw

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of a bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the body and
''go wrong" at times no matter how
we'll the general health may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
indications of kidney trouble. You
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and witches of back
ache pains, but FAY it to other causes;
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
tion of the urine, too frequent urina-
ton, makes you realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take remedy that will not only re-
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it teaches:
c. j. McMurray, resident of Free
port, ILL.,, address AZ Iroquois ST., says:
81 have greater faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills to-day than / had in the fall of
1897 when l first took that remedy and
it cured me of an acute pain across
the back and imperfect action of the
kidneys. Since 1 made a public state
ment of these facts and recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and
acquaintance, thoroughly believing
as 1 did both from observation and ex-
perience that they would do just as
they were represented to do. I am
still pleased to reendorse my state
ment given to the public shortly after
l first began to use the remedy"
