lam glad TO write my endorse
nenf of the great REMEDY, Peruna,
as a nerve tonic. ! do so most
heartily. "--.juIia MarIowe.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
ccnters become bloodless for want of
proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for tho
nerve centers. Properly digosted food
furnishes these reservoirs Of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women especially those vino have voca-
tions that are'trying to the nerves.
Peruua furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands of testimonials from
women in all parts of the United States
are being received. every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal as a nerve
tonic and vital invigorator.

Where German Towns Excel.

Towns which half a century age
were famous only for their galleries or
their picturesque medieval survivals
are now great hives of artisans. This
change did not come to Germany, as
1t came to England, when municipal
science was in its infancy; and so in
Germany we see industry developing
from the start under the most scien.
tific conditions.
Mr. Low is chiefly struck by the ef-
forts of German authorities to make
all parts OF their cities agreeable to
live in. and he thinks their municipal
government the most efficient to be
found anywhere. Our own public
health system is better and our
method of paving greatly superior but
the level of apparent comfort in Ger
many is far higher There are no
such contrasts as between Piccadilly
and Poplar.
The lot of the German workingman
may be really harder one. what
with the high price of food and exor-
bitant rents. but at least he has an en-
yironment free from the worst kind
of squalor.-The Spectator.

THE CLUB GOWN.

The club gown is the latest addition
10 the wardrobe.
1t is not necessarily n belonging of
are women deeply interested in clubs
who take little part in the frivolities
of fashionable life. These women,
however, would not be likely to own
club gowns.
The gown was born of the desire and
necessity of few women who believe
in having a gown for everything and
every gown TO its place.
Il want a'club gown" said one OF
these women, consulting n fashionable
dressmaker.
The latter never turned hair. The
newest patterns for club gowns are
these" she said. The woman looked
and ordered 81 will leave the selec-
ton of the material to you," she said
to the dressmaker.
The latter considered after her Gus
toner had departed. The club gown
was to be worn to club meetings and
conferences, where the wearer would
take prominent part For her es-
pecial needs silk would be the prop
er thing, she considered. Not black
silk, the refuge of the woman who
buys only one gown a season or who
doesn't know what else to select. The
silk bought was n lovely soft grey,
with touch of cerise showing in some
lights, says the Sunday Star.
The owner was delighted with her
club gown, and it was beyond doubt
a handsome and most becoming cos
tune.

LET TABLE BE rRETTY.

The comfort and enjoyment of meal
must to great extent depend upon
the arrangement of the table.
If it is carelessly laid, with unpol-
ished silver and glass, dirty table
cloth, and no flowers. it is not likely
that those who sit around 1t viii care
to spend more time upon their meals
than is absolutely necessary.
Just as much care should be taken
in laying the table for the home meal
as for dinner party. Doubtless there
will not be as many articles used, or
quite such elaborate flower arrange
ments: but everything should be at
any rate spotlessly clean and bright.
and flowers of some kind, or a plant,
should always be on the table.
1t does not need expensive glass or
china or table linen to make a table
look inviting. Cheap glass, If 1t has
been chosen with taste, and very in
expensive china, may decorate the
table; but If these belongings are clean
and bright, they will look far better
than they would If ugly. unpublished
and dirty, even though ever SO costly.
1t is no use taking pains with the
laying of the table if the room is un-
tidy. The first thing to be done, then,
is to see that the room is quite clean
and free from dust.

White jet is one of the anomalies en-
ployed on evening gowns.

choice.

MRS. RoosEyELr.

Mrs. Roosevelt is woman Of devout
nature and conventionally religious
habit. In Washington she is a regular
attendant at st. Johns Episcopal
Church-a fact which has caused its
share of tongue wagging. For the
President, as stanchly loyal to his tra-
ditions as Mrs. Roosevelt to hers, at
tends Grace Church. This division of
family worship has troubled certain
minds until sermons have actually
been delivered upon it. That the frank,
open steadfastness of each TO an early
creed is really convincing tribute to
the others gentleness and generosity,
and an evidence of a true unity of feel
ing, escapes these critics.
In this matter, as in all the others.
Mrs. Roosevelt is untroubied by out
cry. If, in her busy life, she should
undertake seriously to consider criti-
cisms, then the twenty-four hours. none
too long now. would fail utterly for the
sum of her days activities. But she
has knowledge, gentleness, and humor,
a trinity of virtues proof against the
shafts of censure.
She knows pictures, and is unmoved
by the clamor of those who arraign her
at the bar of morality because she re

walls Watts beautiful Love and

She knows boys. and she can smile over

ton of iron and oak; vet she must

from Oregon:

much In recent years from ailments

due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion. which

drank my coffee. and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely. and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago. and all my Ills. the indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away. and
my complexion has become clear and
natural. The improvement set in

Just as soon as the coffee poison had

WHAT WILL BE WORN.

In velvets for autumn and winter
the chiffon variety will reign; indeed,
it has practically reigned ever since its
advent, but its expensiveness has pre-
vented the moderately wealthy from
purchasing it. even for handsome
gowns for lasting wear.
In chiffon velvets all of the new
shades as well as the stable black will
be worn, not only for costume but for
wraps for carriage wear in the day and
also evening wear.
Noire will be the striking novelty
of the coming season, and as it varies
in size of weave and in colorings and
materials all tastes can be gratified.
In crepe de chine the printed effects
will be very smart as will also the
broche crepes. and these with the
radium silks and the ever present ehif-
fons will be largely used for evening
gowns.
In moires there come half silk varie-
ties of good wearing quality and rea-
sonable price for those who are not
able or do not care to purchase the
more expensive varieties.
In crepe de chimes the plain color are
to be preferred by the possessors of
moderate purses. as they never go out
of style, but are always fashiona BILE
and handsome and wear well. For
those. however. of abundant means the
exquisite broche and printed crepes
are emphatically the thing.
Among the moires are the chame-
Icons that show wonderful variations
in color, and these can be readily
adapted for use in the smart little
French coats.
Delicate bued moires are shown in
the warp prints. and, indeed. there is
a large variety to choose from.
Among the new silks for evening
wear are dark-print louisInes in deli
cate shades, with clusters Of flowers
in pale pink. blue. or other colors. scat
tered somewhat wide apart over their
surface.
In messalines for evening wear the
large dots appear. and over these are
printed exquisite single blooms in nat
ural colors. including violets. roses and
