Food for the Cat.

Kittens require more food than old
err cats, for the same reason that
growing child of twelve requires more
food than one of his elders, says Good
Housekeeping. Many owners of cats
leave the poor things to shift for them
selves, and though cats are the most
successful foragers, they could be kept
in far better condition if proper at
tention were given to their feeding at
regular times. Thera is scarcely a
better diet for cat than milk to drink
little raw meat, and, quite as impor-
tant as anything else, vegetables occa-
sionally and green things In the sum-
mer cat, following instinct, will top
off his meal with few nibbFe5 Of grass
Some cat owners have even been caus-
ed anxiety on observing this
propensity of pussy for the first time.
Nevertheless, even in winter, when
there are no green things growing out
of doors, cats still require green foods
occasionally. To supply this need it is
well to chop up lettuce leaf now and
then and treat Mr.. Cat to salad.
1t is mistake to suppose that cats
prefer fish to fresh meat. When both
are set before them they will ;hcose
the meat invariably. In feeding a cat
fish that has lost its freshness should
never be given, since it is dangerous
food, even when the animal, for time,

A Coed Cleanser.

Women who are in the habit of us
Ing soap bark as a cleanser may be
interested to learn little something
about it. The small thin bits that are
procured at the apothecaries are the
inner layers of the bark of the quilla
ia saponaria, a middle-sized tree found
in Chile. In Chile it is commonly used
as soap, and has be2n for many years.
No doubt it was in use by the native
Indians when Magellan discovered
them in their country about 900 years
since. Quilla ia comes from Chilean
word which means Ito wash"
The bark of the tree contains sa-
poniam, an elkali compound which
makes it useful as a soap. In preparing
soap bark one ounce of the bark should
be allowed to simmer in two quarts
of water until two quarts have been
reduced to one quart. 1t is then ready
to use, and it can be bottled Colored
goods are cleaned by placing on a
board and rubbing the soiled parts
with cloth wet in the soap bark in
fusion.
The cloth should be the same mater
ial as the garment that is to be cleaned.
There must be no rinsing. If possible
the wrinkles should be ircned out with
the hand. If black goods are to be
cleaned tablespoonful of ammonia
should be added to a pint of the clean
ing fluid.-Chicago Record-H Herald.

a. GREAT many remedies to Temporal
Z IA rily relieve cal arrh have been devised
from time to time, such as sprays, snuifs,
creams and other local applications, but, as
q rule, the medical profession has little or
NO enthusiasm in the treatment OF catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them TO
be incurabie.
II therefore created great sensation IN
medical circles when DIR. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised compound
which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna. and IN
I short time became known to thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and
west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began to
pour in from all directions.
Thousands Of such letters are on file in
the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. L. Stnbenvoll. Pella, Wis, writes:
II feel obliged TO extend you my personal
Thanks for my complete restoration. All
through the winter ! suffered from throat
and lung trouble, but recovered my entire
health by the use Of your excellent rem
edy, Peruna."
The following letter from a prominent
gentleman of Los Angeles is case in
