daughters education truly excellent

SHE REMOVED THE HAT.
Humorous Incident That Occurred In
an Australian Theater.-


The capacious theater hat that OBJ
scures the view of the stage to all
who have the misfortune to sit behind
1t has been brought into prominence
in New Zealand by the practical pro-
test of Miss Annie McDermott. She
was seated in theater in the town
of Oamaru and in front of her was a
Mrs Brady. wearing ruinous head
gear. AS Mrs Brady refused to re-
move the obstructive hat. Miss Nc.
Dermott borrowed gentlemans
walking stick and tilted it out of her
line of vision. But Mrs. Brady was
not prepared to wear her hat at
rakish angle all the evening and SC
she put It straight again Every time
she did so Miss McDermott repeated
the performance with the walking
stick. The magistrates decided that
Miss McDermott has committed "a
series of minor but aggravating as
saults" and fined her 10 shillings and
costs. The money was promptly sub
scribed by the citizens as a protest
against large hats in theaters.

Irishman,s Grim Jest.

In the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury Lord March and an Irish noble
man met to fight duel While the
seconds were loading the pistols a
man appeared, to the amazement Of
Lord March and his second, carrying
a coffin draped in black, which he de-
posted at the feet of Lord March
Upon looking down he read inscribed
on the coffin plate: James Douglas.
earl of March; born Nov. 5, 1925;
died June 10, 1850" Lord March
turned pale What is the meaning
of this Internally bad jest?" he in
quired Why, my dear fellow" re-
piled his opponent, you are of course
aware that | never miss my man,
and as | find myself in excellent trim
for sport to-day have not shadow of
doubt upon my mind that you will
want this oaken cloak before five
minutes are over" This was too
much for the nerves of Lord March
He refused to fight apologizing in
stead.

The Mcbride Case AGAIN.

st. John, Kans.. Oct. 26.-Mr. and
Mrs. William Mcbride and Jesse L.
Lines. NJ. D., have gone before Mr..
George E. Moore, Notary Public, and
have sworn and subscribed to written
statements confirming the story Of the
awful illness and subsequent cure of
The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Bride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic
in his statement, and there does not
now seem to be any room for doubt as
to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and nothing else, saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increas-
ing frequency. He was semi-paralyzed
in the right side, and his mind was
BADLY affected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcbride say:
''The very day we began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had TWEEN
iy-seven of these Epileptic spells or
fits. In less than week he ceased
having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensa-
Ton in the neighborhood. The sworn
statements have confirmed the whole
STORY.

A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE-RU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for sew
eral years with chronic female derange-
ment had finally given up hope of being
cured
She had tried physician after physician
and remedy after remedy, without any per-
manent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband who
was poor man, hundreds of dollars. They
had been obliged to deny themselves many
comforts of life in order to get money
enough to pay the physicians.
The woman had become weak, pcrvous
and wretched, and scarcely able TO keep
out of her bed. Her children were grow
ing up neglected and ragged because of the
want of mothers care. Her husband
was becoming discouraged and broken
down with overwork
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained the
news that DR.. Hartman would treat such
cases free of charge by letter. She imme-
diately wrote the doctor describing her case,
and giving him all her symptoms
She soon received letter telling her ex-
actly what to do, and what medicines and
appliances to get. She began the treat
ment (the principle remedy being Peruna)
at once, and in a few weeks she was well
and strong again, able to do her own work
This offer of free home treatment to WON
en- is still open to all who may need the scrv-
ices of this eminent physician. All letters
applying for treatment will be promptly
answered, and be held strictly confidential
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of
Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's
Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave.
New York:
Three months ago was troubled with
backache and a troublesome heavness about
the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest for
it was restless sleep. The doctor said my
nervous system was out of order but his pre-
scriptions didn't seem to relieve me. was
told that Peruna was good for building up
the nervous system. After using it for two
months know now that it is. Iwant to say
that il made new woman of me. The tor
turing symptoms have all disappeared and
feel myself again. Peruna did me more good
than all the other medicines have taken"
ANNIE HOBAN.
Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Lou
isiana, writes:
II sincerely believe that Peruna is wom-
ans best friend, for it has certainly been that
to me. I had had headaches, backaches and
other aches every month for long time, but
shortly after began taking Peruna this was
a thing of the past. and have good reason to
be grateful. take bottle every spring and
fall now, and that keeps my health perfect.
and 1 certainly am more robust now than I
have been before and am weighing more. 1
10 not think anyone will be disappointed in
he results obtained from the use of Pc
-una" MISS MAMIE POWELL.
If you do not derive promP. and satisfac-
DRY results from the use of Peruna, write
1t once to DR.. Hartman. giving full state
nent of your case. and he will be pleased
o give you his valuable advice gratis.

Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus. o

have found it to be such a rare exception.
I have known several women who were
little better than physical wrecks, mothers
who dragged out miserable. painful exist

the use of Peruna. 1 have known of cases
of chronic catarrh which were cured in a

BUSY DOCTOR
Sometimes overIooks a Point.

The physician is such a busy man
that he sometimes overlooks valu-
able point to which his attention may
be called by an intelligent patient
who is thinker.
About a year ago my attention
was called to Grape-Nuts by one OF
my patients" says physician of Gin
cinnati.
''At the time my own health was
bad and l was pretty well rundown
but l saw in a minute that the theo-
ries behind Grape-Nuts were perfect
and II the food was all that was
claimed for it it was a perfect food
SO I commenced to use Grape-Nuts
with warm milk twice day and in
short time began to improve In every
way, and now I am much stronger,
feel 500 better and weigh more than
ever did in my life.
II know that all of this good is due
to Grape-Nuts and am firmly con-
vinced that the claims made for the
and still recommend the food to .
great many or my patients with spleD-
did results, and in some cases the i'm
OF patients on this fine
food has been wonderful.

Devotees of the Drug Choose Various

Consumers of opium are not all Of
the same kind. There are slaves of
the pipe, slaves of the syringe and
slaves of the powder that is swallowed
to give surcease of pain or Of mental
worry. There are those who take the
drug in the form of a medicinal prep

and the extract of laudanum; those
who smoke it and inhale the fumes
into the lungs and those who take

of opium in Vermont is equivalent,
according to the doctor, to a grain

obviously far greater than can be ac-
counted for by it's consumption for

the drug take it regularly every day;
others have periodical sprees similar
to those of the alcohol drinker.

Scathing Official Report Relative
to Bennington County Prisons.
DISGRACE TO COUNTY.
Grand Jury Investigates Conditions here and
at Manchester and Finds Nothing Good
Except JalIs are Well Kept

The grand jury at Manchester last
week in making its final report sub
mitted the following, sharply condemn
ing the two Bennington county jails,
which, as everyone familiar with them
is aware. are a disgrace to the county,
The grand jury would respectfully report
that they have inspected the iais at Bennlng-
ton and Manchester ana would say that they
consider the jail az Bennington badly
situated and unit for the purpose OF conhnipp
prisoners because the situation OF the building
Enders 1t dliiicult II not impossible to secure
good air ana proper ventilation,
Only one side OF the jail is open 70 the sum
light, and that, only for short portion OF the
day in the afternoon, and that part OF the
building devoted TO the jail is so low and
damp that even merchandise could not be
stored there with safety unless protected by
artificial heat.
No adequate provision is made for the con-
hnement Of female prisoners, and no proper
separation OF male and female D isoners can
be made; and We especially condemn this Tea.
ture OF the jail
The iailor informs us that owing to the nm.
usual number Of prisoners this spring. he has
been obliged to lodge them on the floor with
out bed or bedding, and as we find that the
beds and bedding IN the cells are old and wor,
we recommend that seven new cots with beds
and bedding complete, be put in the cells and
the old ones stored for use when there ave
more prisoners than can be accommodated In
the cells.
We mther find that the southwest corner OF

grated by the action OF the weather and
water. caused By the bursting OF the water
pipe leading from the roof cutters into the
ground; ana we recommend that new pipe
made OF corrugated galvanized iron be irnmed
lately erected, ana that said pipe be hung in
brackets at least one foot from the wall,
We further recommend that the deeaved
parts OF the wall be cleaned out and filed
with the best Portland cement to prevent fur
ther decay.
We find the jail is wen kept and the prison.
ers wen fed and cared for by the TAILOR.
/ In regard 20 Manchester jail we and Il clean
and wen kept, but the same conditions as TO
dampness and want OF light and ventilation
exist as at Remington,
The erecting Of the new grand Jury and
other rooms has cut on the light from the east
hiue OF the Jail and the accumulation OF boxes
and merchandise under the driveway stin fur
ther reduces the light on that side Of the Jail.
The condition Of the air in the cells is much
better than az Bennington.
| We recommend that new pillows be fur.
nished for The cots, and that the hot air pipes
originally intended to lead from the furnace TO
the cells, be finished and fully protected from
the wood work which they pass through, and
we consider the present con ition OF this pipe
unsafe and hazardous.
