The Wit OF Woman,

Women are the inheritors of the old.
est, most universal human wisdom.
They have more serse than men, for
the simple reason that a man has to
be specialist, and specialist has
to be a fanatic. The normal man all
over the world is hunter or a fisher
or banker or a man of letters or
some silly thing. II so, he has to be
a wise hunter or wise banker. But
nobody with the smallest knowledge
of professional life would ever expect
him to be a wise man. But his wife
has to be a wise woman. She has to
have an eye on everything.-G. K.
Chesterton in the London Daily News.

A Piece Of Robbery.

Mn. Witherspoon of Quanah has in

purposes compelling manufacturers of
all proprietary medicines to print the
formula on all packages of such medl-
cines. The bill has been favorably re-
ported by the committee and has pass
ed its first reading, and seems to be in
a fair way to become a state law. The
introduction of the measure was in
sugated by one of three causes. Mr.
WitherSpoon, We understand, says that
he introduced it by request. 1t then
had its origin at the hands of black
mail, and was never intended to pass,
but was intended to be used to compe

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanentuse in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length Of time without acquir~
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
ent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used of and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs Of
a narcotic nature.
