A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain and cleanse the blood.
That Peruna will do this is beyond all
question. Everyone who has tried it has
had the same experience as Mrs. D. w.
Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va, who in
recent letter, made use Of the following
words: - always take dose of Peruna
after business hours, as it is a great thing
for the nerves. There is no better spring
tonic, and have used about all of them.
Cafarrh In Spring.
The spring is the best time to treat ca
tarrh. Nature renews herself every spring.
The system is rejuvenated by spring
weather. This renders medicines more
effective. A short course of Peruna, assist
ed by the balmy air of spring, will cure old,
stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted
treatment for years. Everybody should

MRS. oATES'S ALBUM OF
 SOUVENIR POSTAL CARDS.

one or the most Deautlrul and unique albums of souvenir postal cards in Mont gomery is that of Mrs. William c. Oates
 The album is made up of postal cards collected by Mrs. Oates during the year she spent in Europe In all there are $50 cards. These have been selected with an artistic sense of the beautiful, as is quickly seen upon opening the book, and at the same time with Buch a traveller s skill that the impression Is left of having made tour of Europe oneself after an hour spent within its leaves. But the most interesting part about this collec- ton is that 1t is a diary of Mrs. Oatess s travels, as well as an album of beautiful views of foreign scenes On the back of each postal card is a description of the place it pictures, sometimes with its his tory and again some words of a per- sonal nature which brings back to their writer pleasant and charming associa- tions.
 Mrs. Oates and her son, MT. William Oates, went abroad in September, 1901 They went direct to Paris where MT. Oates was to study French. The first card in the album therefore Is a lovely view of the Avenue des Bois de Bou- logne, and on the rear is written the date of arrival, and of the hotel to which they drove.
 As the most of Mrs. Oates's stay abroad was spent in Paris, the majority or the views are of that city. There are mum berless souvenirs of the Arch de Triomph, the Champs EIysees. the Place de la Con corde, and the beautiful cascades lakes and avenues of the Bois. There are views of Versailles where Mrs. Oates and her son went in company with their friends the Viscount and ViscOuntess de Bois- sioux. On these are something of the history of poor Marie Antoinette and her connection with the place. and comments upon its beauty There are views of the great monuments with histories of them written briefly by Mrs. Oates; there are pictures of the paintings in the Louvre. the sculpture, etc. On tho back of one of the cards giving a view of the carnival was pasted the little bright discs of con fetti in the shape of the letter c which formed the first letter of the sentence Confetti thrown upon us." Mrs. Oates laughingly explained when she came to this that they were out during the car nival of Shrove Tuesday and were show cred with confetti.
