Treat Women Free During the Sum.
me Months.

America is the land of nervous
m The great majority OF nerv-
Gus women are 50 because they are sur
fering from some form of female DIS
ease. By far the greatest number OF
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouple
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way OF recoV-
ery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently
received:

TIPS ON WALKING.

Steps that are quick are indicative
of energy and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise.
curiosity, discretion, or mystery.
T~urned-in toes are often found with
-preoccupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING, noiseless, with short, nerv-
ous, anxious steps.
Where a r~evengeful purpose is hid.
den under a feigned smile the step will
be sinking and noiseless.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the Toes are c~onspicuously
turned out; the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power, rest the feet fatty
and firmly on the ground, walk heavily
and slowly, and stand with the legs
firmly planted and far apart.-Chicago

There was no faltering or paltering on the

1.-The immortality of the declaration OF
independence does not rest so much
upon the originality of its sentiments
as the oppositeness Of its interpreta-
ton of the universal spirit of the colonists
themselves. Young jefferson, himself, who
framed it, freely confessed his obligation to
the laws of the ancient Roman government,
and to that other immortal document,
which is second only to the declaration IN
the l~oftiness OF its sentiment, and IN It's
demand for the rights OF a people thatshouid
be free, magma charta, wrested from Jonn
by the barons OF old England.
1t is great and glorious, for the reason that
it has been sufficient unto every change and
peril of a fast developing people, and Its
teachings have grown more potent with the
passing years. The nation has increased
from 5000, 900 of people to So,0o0,0oO since
July 4, Ito; yet, although the original doeu-
ment has faded to a dingy yellow, and the
ink which formed the words is no longer
legible. every word isinscribed in the mem
DRY of the people, and its every sentiment
finds a welcome place in every American
heart.
The thought Of a republic, the establishing
of a government by the people, whose
ruler should be the servant of those whom
he goveri ed, was not new when jefferson
wrote the thrilling words. But the few
republics which had existed, persisted from
the face Of the earth after a too brief ex-
istence. Hence, precedent and history
united in declaring that the thought Of the
Trainer was impractical. if not altogether
impossible
But it has been given to men TO meet
great exigeneies to peer into the future
with the keen eyes of prophts, and thus to
prearrange for the conditions to come.
John Adams, himself one of the com
mittee Of which Jefferson was a member,
foretold the coming anniversary of the
Fourth of July, whi.h should be ushered in
with the firing Of guns and the ringing of
bells, and the keeping Of the day in ever
lasting remembrance.

Rev. DIR. Minot j. Savage tells the follow

"The trouble with you parsons is that you

But / insist that that is exactly what we

His Abiding Faith.

He was a simple man with a childlike faith
in the doctor. The verdict had been pro-
nounced. There were unmistakable symp-
toms and a certain salt and a rigid diet were
prescribed. As soon as he had taken one
dose of the salt and had refused at dinner
beef, potatoes, white bread, strawberries and
a little cup of coffee, he plucked up courage
and saw himself galloping toward health.
The salt was an eight-ounce bottle and the
metal cover screwed on. Unscrewing the
cover before breakfast of the next day, he
cut the foreinger Of his left hand, for he
was singularly clumsy. Blood poisoning set
in. As he was dying he said to his wife that
if he could have given that salt a fair chance
he was sure that it would have cured him.
