-WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Dr.. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident 10 Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common amoua
women. This condition is due %
anBmic nerve centers. The nerve cen.
ters are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
| These Centers become bloodless for tha
want of proper nutrition.
This condition Is especially noticeable
| during the warm season. Every sum
mer an army of invalids are producedas
a direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
| digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
ters. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life a vitality which ere
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourisheslife.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominentyoung
society woman of Memphis, Tenn. in 3
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: ITO a society woman whose
nervous force Is often taxed TO the
utmost from lack Of rest and irregular
meals, know Of nothing which Is ofsO
much benefit as PerHHa. 1 took it .
few months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and IL soon made fnseH
manifest Ia giving me new strength
and health. Miss Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes ia that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can DO
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is pcrma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarTh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible If Peruna contained any drugs Of
a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inhammatiOns of The
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest nAnner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.

No Executions In neInium.

Death sentences are never executed
in Belgium because King Leopold
promised his mother as she was dying
that he would never sign his name to
a death warrant. Consequently, al.
though the statute prescribes the ex.
IRENE penalty it is only carried con-
structively. The condemned person is
regarded as dead in the eyes Of the
law. In place Of his personal ap-
pearance on the scaffold the heads
man substitutes a broadIide bearing
his name and sentence, posts this
where it may be read by the people,
and so leaves it, while the criminal
is put in prison to stay there for the
term of his life.

AS The WORLD
REVOLVES
LIVES WITH STITCHED HEART.
Chicago Boy Survives Wonderful Sur
gical Operation.

Chicago Boy Survives Wonderful Sur
gioal Operation.
His bullet-gashed heart sewed to-
gether with needle and thread, Edward
Pelt, the Chicago office boy who at.
tempted suicide, will probably live to
TO- n the list of the most remarkable
surgical patients in American medical
annals.
DR.. Carl Wagner, who performed
the extraordinary operation, believes
the lad will survive. II Edward Pelt
does live he will be the only human
being in the world with a stitched
heart.
A slit nearly half an inch long was
cut by the bullet he fired into his
chest. It was at the extreme bottom
Of the heart, grazing the edge and cut
ting a wide, ragged cash.
Besides the heart wound the bullet
crashed through the lung and tore
away much tissue.
The self-infiicted wounds brought
on a hemorrhage. Early death was
certain unless the flow was stopped.
Or. Wagner quickly decided on the
heroic operation as the only chance.
Chisels were brought into use and
three ribs cut through on the left
side close to the breast bone. These
three ribs also had to be broken at
the extreme left side. The surround
ing flesh was cut through, and then
the whole laid back like lid.
The heart was first attended to. It
was beating feebly because of the

Lucky for America.

Lucky TOT america.
Prof. G. A. L. Totten, formerly mil
itary instructor in Yale. replying to
tho question Of New Yorker whether
1908 is to be lucky or an unlucky year
says: What Is the matter with either
Friday or the number thirteen? AS
to America, it bears thirteen all over
its hereidry, and Friday has been its
chief day discovery Of America, Dec.
laration Of Independence, etc. We
have thirteen letters In Z. Pluribus
Unum, the motto on our great seal.
We have thirteen, thirteen times re-
peated, on that seal Take out a
new silver quarter, II you have one
left, and count the thirteens, even on
its diverse face. Dear me, don't
worry over the luckiest number. A
full bakers dozen is thirteen-that is,
one for good measure, pressed down
and running over. Mannasseh was the
thirteenth tribe in Israel and we are
the people"
