Permanent Residents.

Questions are often dangerous wea-
pens. The difficulty in which some
visitors to a Jail were placed by their
i%njudicious curiosity is thus described
by Tit-Bits:
The party was escorted by the chief
warden. They came in time to a room
where three women were sewing.
Dear me-" one of the visitors whis,
pcred. what vicious looking crea-
lures! Pray. what are they here for?"
Because they have no other home.
This is Il sitting-room, and they are
my wife and two daughters" blanlly
responded the chief warden.

Drinking Women In pot.er,s Field.

1t makes my heart sad to see such con.
ditions as now exist among the poor in
all parts of the city, and more than half
of it is due to drunkenness among the
mothers. The drinking woman is never
sober. Her children 60 dirty, her house
becomes a bedlam and her husband either
deserts or else is dragged down by her
to her own level. When that is the case,
God pity the poor children.
She buys her liquor at the family liquor
store, where it is cheap. At the saloon
on the corner her ten cents would only
pay for one drink. At the family liquor
store she gets half a pint for the ten cents.
When l recall the awful cases that have
been brought up before me-the cases Of
wretchedness and crime and suffering, all
of which have been the result of women's
thirst for strong drink, | shudder.
The Potter's Field is dotted to-day with
graves of women who were one day happy
mothers, but who were dragged into early
and dishonorable graves by the family Ii.

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia -Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
tion is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
of0ther Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat fthe Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

FX. U. S. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
T. South Carolina was Senator from that
State for two terms. In a recent letter to
The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing
ton, d. C., says:
II can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. 1 h1ue
been using your medicine fora short
period aud Ijeel verymuch relieved.
1t Is indeed q WonderfuL medicine
besides q good tonic. I'm. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce arti-
fetal digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth
DDS or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases. of dyspep-
STA than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened it
self in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is mot simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunia is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gem
orally dependent upon catarrh.

The secret of the ~ineXhaustlble fer
tility Of the Nile Valley, which has long
been credited to the annual deposit
of silt from the overlowing of the riv-
er, has been discovered by Mr.. Fair
child, agricultural explorer of the
United States Government, to the nu-
trifying powers of the plant berseem.
Berseem is a species Of trifolium,
which has the power not only to con-
sumo saline and alkaline properties
in the land, but also enrich it with nj
trates. Something Of a composite Of
alfalfa and clover, it is in every way
