organs with the same surety as it
cures catarrh Of the head. Peruna
has become renowned as positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause Of
the trouble. Peruna cures the Ca
tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

CARE OF MEMS CLOTHING.
Takes Interest in Her Hus-
bands Appearance.

The neck bands of mems white shirts
frequently wear out before any other
part. Wash the shirt to remove the
starch, rip the old band off and press
it carefully so it will retain it's origi-
nal shape. Cut a new band of linen in
terlined with muslin, baste it in place
stitch on the machine and work the
usual number of buttonholes. Make
other repairs that are needed and the
shirt will be ready for the laundry.

ing them with gasoline. Pour little
in a cup of bowl, dip a clean cloth in
it, and rub the soiled places, dipping
frequently When the gasoline gets
dirty, get a fresh supply and proceed as
before, until the ties are clean, then
hang then up where no dust will fall
on them until it has evaporated. This
does not fade the colors.
A suit of clothes is often improved
In appearance by brushing them. Turn
the pockets wrong side out and shake
them. The coat collar often requires
cleaning Prepare a cleaning fluid by
pouring quart Of boiling water over
one-fourth pound of soap shaved fine
and adding a heaping teaspoonful OF
borax. When dissolved, stir together
so it will form strong suds Dip a
small brush in this, lay the collars fiat
on the table and scour until clean,
Rinse with clear water and hang up
until nalf dry, then cover with a cloth
and press with hot iron until dry
The borax is great help in removing
grease or soiled spots of any kind from
woolen garment, and is perfectly
harmless. Vest and coat buttons may
be purchased to replace those that are
worn or lost, and if the binding is
worn in places, rebind with new braid
If there are any places to be mended,
place q piece like the garment under
the worn place. Sew it down firmly,
allowing as few stitches as possible to
show on the right side, darn back and
forth over the broken threads, catch
ing it down to the cloth beneath Then
place a damp cloth on the place and
press with hot iron.

This is very common sight and is al

1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as well as slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken
to effect cure.

Ter case still continues to be the talk of
the town. Mr.. G.. L. Butler, the father
of the little boy, says:-.
''The doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal chord, and treated him for
two months, during which he got worse
all the time, Finally, the doctor told me
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up during the night
and say that he was dying He would be
nervous and trembling and would want
to run from the house, saying he saw ugly
things which frightened him. After we
had tried everything else, / read an ad-
vertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as q
cure for Nervous Troubles. I purchased
some and used them until he had taken al
together eight boxes, when he was sound
and well, with not single symptom of
the old trouble. This was some months
ago, and feel sure that he is permanently
cured We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills all
the credit for his restoration to good
