u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia = Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
ton is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

TX. u. s. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
r. South Carolina, was Senator from
IL that state for two terms In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co..
from Washington. d. c.. says:
"Tcan recommend Pcruna for dys-
oepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for a short
period and feel very much relieved.
IL is indeed wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. IN. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial
digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies combined.
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head.
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes.
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it. as
we'll in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys-
pepsia. Pcruna is a caiarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because 1t is gen.
orally dependent upon catarrh.

THE PLATEAU HAT.
Shapes That Are Trimmed Flat a.
Possible to Give No Additional
Height.

Only quite young face looks well
under a fiat plateau or the new sailor
with very low crown and rather wide
brim, but it is only necessary to raise
them on a cachepeigne, or to roll or
fold back the brim on one or both sides,
to obtain hat more generally becom-
ing, says the Millinery Trade Review.
These shapes are trimmed as fiat as
possible, whether the decorations be
flowers, fruits, birds, ostrich, or soft
textured ribbons. Indeed, in no case
are floral decorations, leaves, ETC., ar
ranged SO as to give additional height
to the shape, whatever may be the form
chosen.
Among the plateau hats is one in a
delightful combination of pastel shades.
The fancy braids Of which it is made
are pale lavender Wide ribbon, show
ing stripes of two shades of gray and
pink line-striped with white, is drawn
through a loop of the straw in front;
the ends, after passing through the
sides, are arranged in fat bows under
meath the brim. Outside the trimming
further consists of a small chaplet of
heliotrope on the left and fiat garland
of tiny blush roses and green buds run
ming from the right side around the
back.
Another, made of fancy black braids,
has several large whitish-green daisies
on the left side, balanced on the right
by spray of black velvet daisies with
yellow hearts and a small knot of sky
blue ribbon velvet. The whole of this
fri in az hI1t IA ia
raised in front on a velvet coronet, and,
moreover, the front portion of the brim
is curiously trimmed underneath with
a big, pendant jet of spangles sewn
very closely together.
The best specimens of low-crowned
hats include one made of cream-colOred
braids. This has the edge of the brim
slightly rolled and worked over with
half-inch wide black velvet, first one
way, then the other, so that the velvet
forms a series Of crosses. A wreath OF
miniature white roses and fringe Of
beads rests on the sides and back Of the
brim, finished with tufts of green leaves
on each side.
Another in burnt yellow straw is al
most entirely wreathed around with
ful1-blown double peoples, shaded from
violet to palest lilac; the interval being
filled up with large fiat rosette Of
black ribbon velvet. Two bands of rib
bon, starting from this rosette, cross
the crown, pass through the straw, and
are fastened underneath the brim on the
left by a second fiat rosette.
Another fiat hat is in high favor just
now. Here the crown is so low as to be
almost non-existent, and it is covered
with cherries laid closely side by side
like the fruit in an open cherry tart,
surrounded by border of leaves or a
band of green velvet. The brim of one
of these is in burnt straw worked over
in magnif1ed cross-stitch with green
velvet ribbon.
