Severe Weather.
February is a month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
ATTITUDES, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath. every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take a brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet uhould be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be. kept. warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-ru-na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold
or wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaution.
When seized with chill, or ever
slight chillineos, dose of Peruns
should be taken at once.

Disorder


In the fall of 1906 IcontSacted that fear
full disease, Blood Poison. 1t gained such
Roadway that was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs
After spending all the means had went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks
was IN hospital, and after nine weeks Of
suffering I was discharged as cured. In
less than month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
was compelled to resign, and 1 returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When came out 1 was advised to try
farming. When first went on the farm
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.
S. At that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles Of
S. S. S. for me and began its use, aud
after taking the thirteenth bottle not q
sore or boil was visible. R. B. POWELL

narrowed to mere Sits: "Oh, l think

Adelaide looked at him with an at
tempt at bravado, but there was some
thing in his eyes that terrified her. "Oh,

toward the door.
There is one thing more you must

should hate to be obliged to use force.
"Force?" burst from her pallid lips.
YES" returned Manning. That is
always so unpleasant for lady"
Adelaide suddenly hid her face in her
hands: Il don't know anything about

with little hysterical scream, what am

There was a low knock on the door
leading to the back hall. Manning held
up warning hand. "Hush!" he said.
The knock was repeated.
Adelaide swayed in her chair. "Oh,
what shall l dor" she whispered.
Manning saw that she was likely to
swoon from fright. Without hesitation,
he lifted her from her chair and half
led, half carried, her to the window.
Go in here" he said She staggered to
the window-seat. Manning quickly drew
the curtains across. And by the way,
you might find the bracelet now"
He went over to the door and opened
it. A funky stood there holding a tray
on which were bottle and box of
cigars. THE Burgundy, SIR he said,
with Mr.. Millards compliments.
Manning deposited a coin in Jamess
