Inc meekest kind of a little boy
Joined Sunday school class in a West
Philadelphia church He did not know
the other scholars and appeared ner-
vous, half-scared and ready to cry at
any second. The teacher, however,
treated him kindly and the lessons pro-
ceeded without any outburst. After a
short reading from the Bible the teach
er began to question the pupils on their
last lessons and asked:
who led the children of Israel into
Canaan"
As no one answered she looked from
boy to boy. At last her gaze rested on
the new boy. He started guiltily and
said, between sobs:
1T wasn't me, honest, teacher. I
just moved here last week from Ohio"

The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness Is the natural outgrowth of tie
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit
tiers, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
In apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey. hops and bit
ter barks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus CON-
pounded, the formulate for which were
passed along from house to house,
sometimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business is
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
1t ur, improve it in many ways, manu-
aacture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL CON-
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it increased, and at last he es-
tablished mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERNUA- and its value in
the treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in Dr.
Hartman's judgment, and to rely on
his remedy, Peruna.

Mexican Church Legends.

Queretaro was a town before the
Spanish conquest and was made a city
in 1855. A legend of Queretaro is that
an Otom,te chief, Fernando de Tapia
by name, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity in a way that seems
novel to us, but was common enough
to his day. He came from lula with
challenge to the people Of Queretaro
to fair stand up fight. If he won,
the people surviving were to be bap-
tized. The. challenge was accepted, but
while the fight was in progress a dark
cloud came up and the blessed San
tiago was seen in the heavens with a
fiery cross, whereupon the people of
Queretaro gave up and were baptized.
They set up a-stone cross to commem-
crate the event on the site of the pres
ent church Of Santa Cruz. There is
scarcely church in Mexico which has
not legent of this kind attached to it,
Mothers will find Mrs. winslow's Soothini
Syrup the best remedy to use for their children
