DANGERS AT T8 BE IN OCTOBER

DURING the warm summer months
the skin has been freely throwing
off the impurities of the body in
the form of perspiration-
THE cool days and cooler nights of
October, in a measure, stop the
action of the skin.
IMPURITIES which heretofore
were thrown of by the skin. must
find some outlet. They should be
excreted by the kidneys.
4 GREAT STRAIN is thus thrown
upon the kidneys. They are not
always prepared for this increased
labor. They break down.
THE POISONS passing through the
kidneys serve to irritate them, and
this condition soon develops into
serious ailments, among them
Bright's Disease.
THE LIVER, too, acts in sympathy
with the kidneys. 1t becomes de-
ranged. causing sallow skins. de-
preston of spirits and Iassitude.
AN ABNORMAL CONDITION of
the bowels also presents itself.
Constipation and other bowel
troubles result.
THE blood becomes poisoned by
the retained excretions. Pfmples,
blotches, muddy compilations are
the first result and finally the
whole system becomes deranged.
COLDS are very easily caught dur
ing this depleted condition of the
system.
and bowels need a little encour-
agement, little assistance-that
is all
PE-RU-NA gives just this assist
ance. 1t gently stimulates these
organs to increased function.
Thus Peruna guards against the
possibilities of disease.
PEOPLE INCLINED TO WEAK
NESS of these organs ought to be
especially careful during this
month.
AT THE FIRST SIGN of disease,
such as puffiness under the eyes,
salIow skin, backache, colds, and
so forth, Peruna should be taken
IF YOU NOTICE any of the above
symptoms. do not delay-buy a
bottle of PeFuna today. A bottle
of Peruna taken at the first symp-
tom will do more good than a
dozen bottles later on when seri-
Gus ailments have developed.

BIG SHRINKAGE IN GRAIN.
Facts and Figures Show That Holding
Crops for Higher Prices Is Not
Always Profitable.

The advantage to the farmer of stor-
ing his grain and holding it till spring
is not always represented by the in
creased price he may get for it. The
shrinkage during the winter storage
must be taken into consideration, and
this shrinkage not infrequently more
than offsets the increased price.
In such cases it pays the farmer to
sell his grain as soon as it is in shape
to go to the market. A good many
Investigations have been made to dis
owe the percentage of shrinkage in
various grains. The results have varied
immensely.
In some Of the humid states and with
early gathered crops the shrinkage has
been as high as 80 to 40 per cent, while
grain raised in arid states and hauled
to humid states and stored has gained
in weight during storage. The shrink
age of wheat has not generally been as
great as that of some other grains,
Wheat stored in Michigan elevators
lost from five to ten per cent, during
winter. A lot Of corn very heavy and
little dry at the time of storing lost 80
per cent. in weight by February. Tests
made in other states have shown
s%hrinkages of ten to 16 per. cent.
One lot of corn. that was gathered
at the time Of year when it was well
glazed, but contained as large an
amount of water as possible and pass
in a state fair competition, shrank
about 40 per cent. Oats shrink little,
but are recorded to have lost about
four per cent. in weight during a win
ter.-St. Louis Republic.
