Nervousness Is very common among

This could be easily obviated ny the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutrition
for the nerve centers. Properly digested
food furnishes these reservoirs of life

steady nerves, and thus nourishes life.
The unsolicited praise that Peruna re-

Mrs. Simpson first read the note and
became suspicious. She went with her
daughter to Wham's house and found
the man there alone. Wham said he
found the note after his sister left and
sent it over.
The Simpsons were not satisfied and
the girls father called at Nham's house,
who admitted the note was designed for
an improper purpose and that Miss
Simpson has voluntarily met him four
times within a year. The girls father
demanded a fight to the death, but Wham
would not meet him.
Mrs. Wham last night went to see
friend, l.. w. Ramage, to get him to act
as peacemaker. In the meantime Wham
