GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-nd for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering

Miss Muriel Armitagc, 36 Green wood Ave, Detroit, Mich, District Organizer of the Royal Tcmplars of Temperance. ill arecent letter, says:
 think that woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much to me that feel for the sake of other suffering ,somen 1t is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me.
 ''I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities. which brought on hysteria and made me q physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medi- cine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna. and promised good results if l would persist and take 1t regularly. l thought this was the least l could do and procured bottle. l knew as soon as l began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything l had used before, and so I kept on taking it. l kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health. and when l had used fifteen bottles l eonsid- cred myself entirely cured. l am Il grateful, happy woman to-day" Miss Muriel A.,mitage.

BABy'S FUTURE Something for Mothers to Think About Lives of Suffering and
 Sorrow AVerted And Happiness and Prosperity
 Assured by Cuticura Soap, 0intmentandPiIls When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed ten dency to distressing, dislguring hu- mours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of it's suffer- ing, but because of the dreadful fear that the disAguration is to be lifelong and mar it's future happiness and pros- perity. Hence, it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to &C., quaint themselves with the best, the purest and most effective treatment available, viz, he Cuticura Treatment.
 Warm baths with Cuticrra Soap, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, to aIlay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and mild doses of Cuticura kesolvent, to cool the blood in the severer eases, are all that can be desired for the speedy relief and permanent cure of skin tor tured infants and children, and the com- fort of worn-out parents
 Millions of women Use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre- serving, purifying and beautifyiug the skin, scalp, hair and hands, fer aanoy- ing irritations and weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves.

WHY BIG BANKS MERGE.
Cause of the Tendency Toward Con solfdation In Large Financial
 Trnnsn ctions.


 Banks of enormous capitalization are needed primarily, one of their most important officers says. flor the purpose of financing great enter prises." This means ability to raise q $5.000.O90 loan at one hours notice without outside assistance; to supply q railroad with Sl0000.0O0 or S15.000,- GOO whenever it wishes to increase its capital; to urdelNvrite new fotations in heavy amounts; to finance syndi- cate operations in foreign bonds; to be ever ready to further the projects with which interests affiliated with the bank are connected; in various ways to do at short notice what a dozen different banks were formerly required to accomplish, states the New York Post.
 Some of these banks admit frankly tlrat they do not care to do business with the small man. That is to say, accounts showing an average bal auce of $10000 or S25.0OO are not de- sired. The officers say that they are in the wholesale business. and have no time 10 throw away on the little fellow" For that reason one of the banks already declines personal ac- counts, cultiyating principally such corporations as can show balances of $l00.000 or more. Fifty thousand dol lars is its average balance.
 These banks require peculiar man agerial ability Men of small scope or narrow experience cannot cope with the difficulties. Officers of such institutions usually gain the reputa ton for being cold-blooded, because of rigid adherence to certain fixed rules. The chief difficulty, however. lies in knowing when to say Yes" rather than No" for as one banker put it the other day, any fool can turn down proposition" Not long ago one of these banks was asked to loan $500 GOO in lump on single name paper. It was big transae- tion, involving heavy liability, but the customer got his money. Another in stance occurred where bank re ceived word an hour before its doors closed for the day that a check for $5.000, GOO had just been drawn against q large account. There was q little skirmishing, but the situation was met in few minutes,
 Bankers who have studied the proposition point out that the bank of great capitalization would prob ably contribute stability in times of financial disturbance. It's influence might be exercised through efforts to relieve the strain of an overburdened money market, or by breaking money rates when they reached panic level.

 It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with q disease that can be permanently cured.
 aPcruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it shosld be taken 10 effect a cure.

OLD RlENOS.

We go our different ways. with many a
 parting,
 We greet new faces and We find new
 friends, And none of Us go backward to the start
 ing,
 But ever onward toward flies several
 ends Yet now and then there eore 10 us chance
 meetings
 Waen new surroundings somehow merely
 seem, And with handclasp and warm and tender
 greetings.
 The passing years fade out, as in a dream. We look in faces where old love Is shining. Recall the days when lie was sweet and fair, And for an hour cease troubling and repin- ing,
 And talk of pleasures time has rendered rare. And then once more new scenes of duty call us. Once more we part to go our several ways, | And ever new and strange events befall us | As tireless fates spin out our numbered days.
