If all of the many suffering women
scattered throughout the United States
would take the above simple and direct
testimonials to heart and follow the
example of these women, no pen could
describe the benefit that would follow.
There are so many women, especial
ly married women, who drag them
selves YEARLY around from day to day,
from year to year with catarrh of the
pelvic organs, little realizing what the
exact nature of their ailments is.
They are miserable beyond descr1p-
ton. They ache, and tremble, and
throb, and grow more nervous, tired
and debilitated every day.
For this class of sufferers Peruna is
the most perfect remedy in existence.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Now Enroute to Worlds
Fair---One Of the Finest
from Idaho.

On the first of this month the
Washington County School Exhibit
was sent to Boise for shipment to
the St. Louis Exposition.
The work prepared was indeed
very creditable and far beyond the
Expectations of those concerned in
Its preparation, considering the short
time consumed in getting it ready.
Nearly all Of the large schools were
represented and many of the small
country schools sent in composition
work and drawing that will compare
favorahly with that Of many city
schools.
Each grade in the Weiser school
prepared q book bound With the ar
tistic and substantial binding regu-
larly used throughout the school. 1t
was introduced here by Prof. Martin.
| The exhibit consisted mainly of
what an exhibit is supposed to be-
regular school composition work and
drawing. The teachers and pupils
labored faithfully along this line,
and the result was some of the neat
est and most perfectly composed
productions we have ever had the
pleasure of seeing. The primary ex-
hibits were composed largely Of
neatly mounted booklets, sewing
cards, drawing paper cutting and pa.
per weaving.
Miss Edmonds and Miss Lee are
rightly planting the life lasting seec
for the development in the children
of the love of the art of construc
