! AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired-Spring
Weather Does It-EveryOne
Should Be Cautious.

Depression OF the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tions, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss OF
sleep Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigor-
ating cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily tes;ifying to its priceless benefit.
Mrs. II. Kassatt, 1909 W. 18th street,
Des Moines, Ia, writes: 4" am happy to
give my endorsement for your able
medicine, Peruna, as consider it n val
liable medicine to take when the system
Is run down from overwork. About
two years ago felt that must take
long rest us had been unable to work
for over month and could not regain
nv strength. 1 could not sleep at night
and was in very nervous, high strung
condition. / decided to try what Pc
runa would do to buildup my strength,
and am pleased to say that I began to
improve very shortly, and in less than
two months 1 was able to take up my
work, and felt better than have for
years. / take it now twice a year and
find that it keeps me in perfect health. I"
Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the
manager of plant furnishing ladies'
wear and employing hundreds Of
women.

fire-resistant standard They say the
conditions how. while not perfect, are
generally satisfactory.
The Actual Conditions.
The examination says the report
showed that exits are all lighted with
red lights on circuit independent of
the stage and plainly marked with the
word exit; all exits open outward and
are easily operated; that all the thea
tiers have either a proscenium arch of
solid brick or other fire resisting ma
terial between the stage and the audi
forum. excepting one Of those whose
license has been withheld. which is an
der contract TO put IN such fire resisting
material Immediately.
All the theaters have asbestos cur
tains They have been all tested by
subjecting them to a hot fire. and found
absolutely fireproof.
"AIl the theaters have skylights Of

COUNT CASSINl IGNORES
REPORT ABOUT C0NSULS

Count Cassini. the Russian ambassa-
dor, has taken no official cognizance or
the London press report crediting e Rus-
sian government official with saying
American consuls would not be allowed
at Mukden and Antung. The matter has
not been brought up IN an official form.
That the report has no foundation,
however is indicated from the fact that
the consuls. who have been confirmed by
the Senate are preparing TO leave Wash
ington early in February. They have
received assurance enough to ss=t-sIy
them that the consulates are now ready
for business.
