piqaina weII to Drain a Boa.

An ingenious Yankee who lives on
the west coast of Florida adopted a
novel method to drain a bog on his
plantation. He put down four-inch
well in the middle of his bog deep
enough to tap the water bearing grav-
ell. A nice flow of water was encoun-
tered, which rose in the well nearly
to the surface. AS soon as the top
Of the pipe was pushed down to a
level with the bottom of the bog, the
water in the pond rushed down into
the well and passed off through sub
terranean channels. In a few hours
the bog was drained. The land has
since been plowed and is now a valu-
able truck farm. Scientists declare
that wet lands in many sections of
the country can be drained by this
simple method. Care must be taken
not to permit the well to fill up with
rubbish, which might impede the
ingress of the water

Could there be something unknown,

there be that rest and content which,

Mary Ellen fled, and in her room
sat down staring in a sudden panic.
She needed to search out certain

I AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired - Spring
Weather Does It-Every One
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 indica-
tion and proves itself to be perfectly
adapted to all their varied peculiari-
ties. Peruna invigorates the system,
rejuvenates the feelings, restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken.
Thousands are dairy testifying to its
priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 West 18th
street, Des Moines, Ia, writes: 81 am
happy to give my endorsement for
your valuable medicine, Peruna, as |
consider it valuable medicine to take
when the system is run down from
overwork. About two years ago l felt
that | must take long rest as had
been unable to work for over a month
and could not regain my strength. l
could not sleep at night and was In
very nervous, high strung, condition.
l decided to try what Peruna would do
to build up my strength, and am
pleased to say that began to improve
very shortly, and in less than two
months | was able to take up my
work, and felt better than l have for
years. l take 1t now twice year and
find that it keeps me in perfect
health" Mrs. Kassatt was for over
ten years the manager of plant fur

ACCIDENT At OF MILL.
Frank Fleming Receive, Injuries Of a Sc.
ri0us Nature.

Frank Fleming, a young man en-
ployed at the Grenada Oil Mill, hap
pened to an accident last Saturday
morning, which, it was thought for
some time, would prove fatal, but
later, hopes for his recovery developed,
and he is thought now to be out OF
danger.
The particulars surrounding the ac-
cident are meager, and the real cause
can only be surmised, as no one was
present at the time it occurred and
the condition OF the unfortunate young
man has been such that he could not
give the facts as to the cause of his
injury. Young Fleming had gone in
press room at the mill to put away
a pair OF scales which he had been
using. 1t is supposed that while in
the room he undertook to Shift belt
and was caught and thrown against
some object. Some time afterwards
he was found in an unconscious state
with several horrible gashes cut in the
head and bleeding profusely. He was
carried to his home and medical aid
Upon investigation the skull was
found to be slightly fractured. He
remained in an unconscious condition
for several days, but we are glad to
note that attending physicians now
report him out of danger.
