In Society.

Awoman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole
time is taken up in keeping engage
ments or entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, if
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact
that Peruna is the tonic for run
down, depleted nervous system.

Several Democratic politicians were
discussing old times the other day

Jim" O'Brien. Ex-Supervisor Barry
who was one of the Solid Nine" was
anxious to run again for office, but
as he did not get the Democratic
nomination he decided to run as an
Independent candidate. Every one
then conducting on Market street,
was asked to sign the necessary petit
ton.
One night O'Brien, accompanied by
"Blinker" Murphy and two others,
called at Barry's saloon, and Barry
promptly asked OBrien to sign the
petition. He complied and ordered
drinks for the crowd Then he or
dered another round of drinks and
poured hot air all the time at Barry.
When they left the saloon O'Brien
said, What a blamed fool Barry is to
think for a minute that he could be
elected again. He hasn't the ghost of
a chance"
"Oh, don't know" retorted Blink
err" 1T seems to me he's not the
only fool around. He got you to sign
his petition and spend so cents for
drinks" O'Brien did not pursue the
subject further.-San Francisco Call,
