In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellec tual needs of the charges COM
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who
used the Pernna was suffering from
Iaryngiis andIoss of voice. The result
of the treatment was most saffsfac-
tory. She found great relief, and
after further use of the medicine we
hope to be able to say she is entirely
cured. Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good
results as the above letter testifies.

BOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

A recent seizure of lot of Cheap"
baking powders by the authorities Of
a neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufac-
turers are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samples
were taken and analysed. The official
report of the analysis showed the stuff
to be "alum powders" composed chiefly
of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized
rock. The powders were declared dan
gerous to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently cautioned
consumers against mixing food with
these so-called cheap" baking powders.
They are all found, when analysed, to
contain large percentages of alum and
sulphuric acid to which are added vari-
Gus sorts of filling matter sometimes
both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar bak-
ing powders. are the most economical
and wholesome and should always be
selected for use. They will be found
cheaper in the end, besides making the
food better and more healthful

Keep a Few Guinea Hens.

Probably it is not every farmer who
knows the ability a guinea hen has to
quell disturbances and break up quar-
rels that may end in fights. We have
witnessed several such combative oc-

est the guineas as little peacemakers.
1t has occurred even among the great
yellow Tipped white Pekin ducks, who
are themselves non7combative The lit
tie guineas are sharp watchmen, being
wide awake and on the qui-vfve for
strangers, or flying poultry enemies;
they give alarms early and in due time
for Migrants to escape. Farmers will
do well to watch the shy guineas, and
give them trial for their good quail
tiles. Their tiny eggs are rich and
nutty, providing they can be found

FOR TEACHER AND PUPIL.

A school for over 400 boys is now be-

gentlemen in Shanghai. The head
master is English.
There are eight township schools in
Clark county, o., which have not opened
because the teachers can get better
wages as motormen than at school
teaching.
DR.. Oscar H. Allis, Of Philadelphia,
urges that ambidexterity is conducive
to health and would like to have chill
dren taught to use either right or left
hand. Some teachers" he says, "are
waking up to the necessity of using the
left side. 1 don't believe anyone ever
saw a symmetrical spine except it be-
longed to an ambidexterous person.
There should be right and left hand
work in school,"

White washing in winter helps to keep
away roup and other diseases.
Some poultry raisers succeed better
than others, and it isn't luck, either.
Nothing brings the ready money to
the home like the product of the hen.
The drinking vessels should be thor

The successful poultryman is very
good fellow. If he was not he would
be doing something else.
Do not allow birds that have died of
disease to lie around the place. Bury
them deeply or burn them at once.
Eggs at Is cents dozen are cheaper
than beef steak at present prices. Be-
