writes:
az find that Peruna is an excellent
mcdicine especially for catarrhal affec-
tons and all diseases leading to con-
sumption, bronchial troubles or stomach
troubles. 1t also acts as a preventative
and keeps the system in a healthy con-
dition so that it easily throws off dis
ease. 1t Is an excellent tonic and
great appetizer and as large number
of those who have been using it speak
very highly of its curative powers, am
satisfied that my opinion of it is correct,
and that it is deserving of high praise"

Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair

pay 10 cents gallon more for Devoe;

We saved them So gallons of paint
and painting (worth 81 to S. a gallon,
as the painting costs two or three times
as the) less 10 cents gallon on 1l5 gal

HOW DOES A ROBIN KNOW +?

one drill for grubs and bring the

John Burroughs, In Outing. The robin

q maple near by, and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food. She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins,
stopping every few feet, her form stiff
and erect. Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
