the adoption of the telephone and

have motor capable not only Of

Risk of Fast Travelling

The German engineers are spending
a large amount of time and money on
experiments whose aim is the produc-
ton of an electric car or steam loco
motive which can run 100 miles an
hour. According to a cable dispatch
they succeeded last week for the first
time in reaching 100 miles an hour;
but the question which naturally suf-
gests itself to railway engineers in
the United States is, Who wants to
travel at such speed 20 Side by side

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is Generally
Called misunderstanding to
Produce Artificial! Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

INK. q. s. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
- South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In q
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:
~ can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for q short
period and Z feel very much relieved.
II Is indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides q good tonic. IN. C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in q natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

Activity in Woman's Life

says the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser.
The fuller life is of interest the less
likely it is. to become a prey to ennui
or ill-health. In choosing a profession
this aspect assumes more Importance
than most people may imagine.
Some professions, though we'll paid,
are yet SO monotonous as to be soul
deadening: no amount of money will
ever make such attractive to an intel
ligent woman. Monotony, far more
than anything else, breaks down
health with woman, and does it soon
er than many would suppose.
1t produces strain to which women
are peculiarly susceptible. The more
interest it is possible to bring into
any occupation, the less strain will it
involve, no matter how much it may
tax brain and nerve in other ways.
Taking into consideration this vital
question of interest, you will find that
work wherein men and women are
employed together is always less mo-
notonous in character than any that
needs brain and nerve in other ways.
To select profession that takes a
girl away from her home to work
among other women, obliging her to
live in congregation of women,
where all her associations and sur
roundings will be purely feminine, is
however wise in some respects and
safe-necessarily to narrow her down
and to cramp her mental and social
Development.

Life is many sided, and we live for
something more than merely earning
living or competency.
There is the question of health, NOR
al and physical, to be looked at, and
there is the still larger question of
interest.
woman is built for life of activ-
ity, though not for heavy labor. 1t is
not natural for her to sit on chair
or stool all day, or be confined in a
cramped space. She suffers indirect
ly, even if not directly by the attempt
to make nature acquiesce in such an
arrangement. Functions and faculties
that are not exercised are apt to be-
come atrophied; powers and re-
sources that are never called out be-
come dwarfed, stunted, or turned into
unnatural channels.
Never let a girl forget that she is a
woman, with woman's duties and
abilities; give her scope and oppor-
tunity for exercising such, and you
will benefit her more than you may
know.
Stern. necessity is often the kindest
mistress on this account Many a
lonely woman, living in rooms or a
fat, is humanized and kept sweet in
spirit by the constant efforts and at
tentions demanded of her to keep her
home homelike, doing for herself the
hundred and one things required, in
stead Of paying others to do them.
