MFRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent

Her husband, when living, was first

Peruna:
"Having lived very active life as wife
and working partner of 81 busy minister,
my health failed me q few years ago. I
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is confirmed

What used to be called female diseases
by tho medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrk. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
q woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Pcruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Pcruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais-
ing 1t. Peruna is not n palliative SIM
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend

The Stage

Hal Reid has woven pretty story
around the title of his late play, AT
Cripple Creek" presented last evening
at the Illinois. While it borders to a
considerable extent on the sensation
al, there is worked through the piece
a heart interest that has a softening
tendency. c. Nick Stark. a brother of
Catcher Stark. of Rockford, is a mem
Der of the company, playing the part
of an Indian.
"For Mothers Sake story of New
England life, appears here at an early
date.
.The Village Parson" comes satur-
day.
IAN American Gentleman" which is
to be seen here tomorrow night is one
of those plays which claims the at
tention. not only of regular theatre
goers, but of those who seldom at
tend dramatic performances. 1t is
thoroughly clean in tone, and that
means a great deal in these days of
French farce and decadent drama.
Its plot is original, and its sentiment
refreshingly wholesome. The fact
that IAN American Gentleman" is
wonderfully dramatic certainly dem
onstrates that questionable themes
are not essential to dramatic usages.
1t is particularly fitting that such a
wholesome American play is to intro
duce such a charming young Ameri-

Natures Curious Tree Law.

Let us observe a law common to all
trees. First, neither the stems nor
boughs Of the maple, elm or oak taper
except at the point where they fork.
Whenever stem sends forth branch
and branch sends off a smaller Dough,
bud or stem, they remain the same in
diameter, and the original stem will
increase rather than diminish until its
next branch starts. No bough, branch
or stem ever narrows near it's eXtreln-
ity except where it parts with a por-
ton Of it's substance by sending off
another branch or stem. ...t
All trees are alike in this respect, and
if all the boughs, branches, stems, buds
and blossoms were combined and unit
ed without loss Of space they would
form round log the same in size and
diameter as the trunk from which they
spring. This is one of natures impera-
tive laws and never fails to prove true.

Similarity of Animals and Men.

1t has been observed that if the.
tanned dog is taken back to the wild
state he loses his voice. These sound
ing voices are produced in the animal
throat in a way similar to human lam
guage, but are not .'voices''s proper nor
languages" proper, and yet they are
full of psychological expression and re-
veal the animals psychic states. IF we
tickle a chimpanzee in the armpit, the
touch produces a grin on the face SINH
lar to that of man under like circum-
stances. He also emits laughterlike
sounds. The same is the case with the
ourang outang. The gorilla knits the
GROW when angry, just like men,.
we often observe in apes q complete
change in the facial muscles when
something is going to happen, be it
agreeable or disagreeable. 1t is so also
With the child. In apes there is evil
IDENTITY the same connection between
the facial muscles and vocal muscles as
in man. .

The death of Bernard Kittilsen last
Sunday morning came as a shock to the
people of Stoughton, as but few knew
that he was SICK and his illness, which
dated only from the Tuesday before, was

morning when the attending physician
announced that the patient could not
live longer than twenty four hours.
When Barney, as he was Familiarity

it was pronounced to be tonsilitis, but
the fatal malady was his old ailment,
