Hundreds ofWomen Cured byPe-ru.na
of Annoying Catarrii.

DR. HARTMAN has probably done
- more than any other physician
toward popularizing n means of
escape from the facial defermities, such
as watcry eyes, twisted nose. offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the
ravaging effects OF catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh a life
long study. His remedy, popularity
known as Peruna, is the most famous
remedy for catarrh in existence.
Probably thcrcisn a man o rwoman,
boy or girl, within the bounds of the
United States that has not heard of Pc
runa. BY far the largest majority have
used Pcruna.
The multitude Of people that have
been cured of chronic catarrh by using
Peruna can never be known.

 Douglas. Aug. 24.-There is bread war on in thls city. The bakeries are fighting for trade tooth and nail Yes terday the first shot was fired from a heavy gun, and the price of bread to the consumer was cut squarely in two. Ten-cent loaves of bread can now be bought for five cents. twenty loaves for dollar One bakery refuses to meet the cut and is holding on to the original price, the other bakeries are delivering the staff of life" to any part of the city al the exceptionally low price of five cents a loaf for pound loaves. That there is not much profit in fiye-cent bread can be seen, when it is known that today flour in Doug las costs three cents a pound As long as the fight lasts the people will be gathers; but scent bread is not 5-cent beer. and the g.ve-away price will not likely hold for many days However. bread keeps well in this eli mate. and the thrifty house wivees are stocking the larder.

however, the growth Of all departments

imperative. With the completion of
the addition the firm will have l5S, 200

Making mincemeat is one of the early
| November activities of the provident
housewives, and for this purpose the
best boiling beef can be obtained for
or 10 cents pound. Occasionally a
cook is found who prefers to use tongue
cost from SO to 60 cents. The meat
should be cooked very tender and chop
ped very fine, as it's presence in the
compound is revealed by flavor aud
richness rather than by it's visible
presence. The apples, on the contrary,
should not be so finely chopped nor
allowed to cook to pieces, as that would
make the mincemeat mushy. Nearly
every cook has her own recipe for the
kind and proportion Of favorings and
other fruits that 60 into mincemeat,
but if anyone has not tried the addi.
ton of either shredded candied lemon
or orange peel, the trial is pretty sure
to- result in it's continued use. The
juice around picked and preserved
fruits also gives a good flavor and is
used especially to replace boiled cider
and brandy. Isl
Making mincemeat is a good deal
Of work, especially if one uses only a
small quantity, and it can be purchased
at the delicatessen counter for 1919
and Is cents a pound. Using this as
a base, one may add favorings and
fruit to taste. -
Mine emeat is one of the delicacies in
which church bazaars deal quite largely
and the church cooks usually prepare
a delicious compound. Their patrons
usually get something better than they
can prepare themselves and at very
moderate prices. There will be numer-
Gus opportunities this month to make
such purchases, but it is we'll to be on
hand early, for the guilds. that have
made reputation make quick sales OF
their entire output

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Brushing the Hair.-Do you think
brushing the hair is beneficial and
how is body to keep her brushes
clean7-Mollie.
The hair should be brushed regularly
to keep it from falling out and to keep
the scalp in good condition. The hair
itself is easily cleansed with a good
toilet water, but the scalp is too
often neglected. A man generally has
a pair Of brushes, or at least one
good one, but women's brushes are
apt to be very beautiful, but soft and
of little use. It is all very well to
have a fancy brush on the dressing
table, but in drawer out of sight
keep plain one for general utility
with good stiff bristles.
A fine hairbrush really should never
be, put in water, as. it loosens the
bristles. When travelling the hair gets
very dusty, and soon soils the brushes
which should be well looked after. Dir
the bristles in alcohol, ammonia OF
bathing whisky, shake dry and leave
in the open air.
