l AM TIRED.
Everybody Is Tired-Spring Wealth
er Does It-eEvery One Should
Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa
tions, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep. Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied peculiarities. Pc.
runa invigorates the system, rejuve-
mates the feelings, restores the normal
appetite and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect OF
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly dis
appears when Peruna is taken. Thous-
ands are daily testifying to its priceless
benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th
street, Des Moines, Ia, writes: 81 am
happy to give my endorsement for your
valuable medicine, Peruna, as l consid-
or it valuable medicine to take when
the system is run down from overwork.
About two years ago I felt that l must
take long rest as had been unable
to work for over a month and could
not regain my strength. l could not
sleep at night and was in very nerv-
GUS, high strung, condition. 1 decided
to try what Peruna would do to build
up my strength, and am pleased to say
that began to improve very shortly,
and in less than two months was able
to take up my work, and felt better
than I have for years. 1 take it now
twice a year and find that it keeps me
in perfect health" Mrs. Kassstt was
fol over ten years the manager of a
plant furnishing ladies' wear and en-
ploying hundreds of women.

After shelling your peanuts, take the
same quantity of granulated sugar that
you have OF the nuts. Put the sugar

Banana Short-Cake,

Banana shortcake is very good sub
stitute for strawberry shortcake and
is made in exactly the same manner.
The cake is baked, cut open and spread
with butter. The bananas, sliced and
sugared, are put between the layers
and over the top If preferred. Like
strawberry shortcake, this is much i'm
proved If whipped cream is poured
over it, but, like strawberry shortcake
again, 1t is delicious without the cream.

Canada's Monopoly of Asbest os.

While asbestos is found pretty much
all over the world Canada comes near
having a monopoly in it's actual pro.
duction. Twenty-Five years ago only
300 tons, valued at S20O,OOO was mined
in Canada. Now the annual export of
asbestos is about 10000 tons, valued
at $1,OOO,OOO, and the industry is still
growing. About So per cent of the
worlds product is mined in the vicin-
ity Of Richmond, Canada.

English Rolled Pudding.

English Rolled Pudding.
Boiled pastry should be prepared
with chopped and sifted suet instead
of lard or butter, but otherwise in the
same manner as pie pastry. Roll jam
or preserved fruit out into thin
sheet; spread over thick layer of
fruit, and then, commencing at one
side, roll carefully until all the fruit
is inclosed within the paste; pinch to-
gether at the ends, and tie up in a
strong cotton cloth, then drop into a
pot OF boiling water. The cherry is
the best for this purpose, or some other
fruit possessing acidity. To be served
with sweet sauce.

But my first impression was dispelled,
when the real magnitude OF the man
began to assert itself to those about
him. | later visited Mr.. Lpcoln with
my little daughter and Mr.. Lincoln
took her up in his arms and kissed
her. And that settled her politics for
life. On the night that Lincoln was

for several years they have been grow
