APPENDICITIS
Not At all Necessary to Operate in
Many Cases.

AUTOMOBILES and Appendicitis zcare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch
is hard to digest and clogs up the di-
gestive machinery-also tends to
form cakes in the cscum. CHATS the

She says: Five years ago while
at school, 1 suffered terribly with
constipation and Indigestion" lToo
much starch, white bread, potatoes,
etc., which she did not digest.)
Soon after l left school 1 had an
attack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived Oh milk and water.

food there was nothing that would

RFJNG A SFGNSTER.

One spinster has set forth with
her pen the following reasons why
she rather enjoys spinsterhood:
She does not have one man to love
and cherish her; but she may have
the friendship, the cordial esteem and
interest Of half dozen.
She does not have one to pay her
dressmalzer, her halter, her shoeman
and the rest; but she may have half
a score for less serviceable uses-half
a score who send her books, flowers,
tickets, who walk, play golf, drive,
skate, talk with her.
Cne man does not come to her for
deep understanding Of his needs;
many may come with their quite seri
Gus interests.
Her sincere, enjoyable, stimulating,
friendly relations with men, as with
women, are limited only by her own
power of intellectual sympathy-at
any rate, in those circles which ad-
NIT any basis of companionship be-
tween men and women beyond the
emotional.-Indianapolis News.

ness Is the natural outgrowth ~ the
old.timc household remedies.
In tho early history OF this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit.
tiers, laxetiyes and tonics, were. to be
found in almost every house, CONS
pounded by tho housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
(which was a1oes and quassia, dis.
solved in apple brandy. Sometimes a
hop tonic, made ofwhiskey, hops and
bitter barks. A score or more of pop.
ular, homemade remedies were thus
compounded, the fornulae for which
were passed along from house to
house, sometimes written. sometimes
verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole-
some, eld.time custom. In the begin.
ming some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed By the usefulness Of one Of
these home made remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on large scale, ad-
vertise 1t mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE HOUSEHOLDREMEDY
BUSINESS TOOK A. MORE EXACT
AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Pcruna was originally ono Of these
old.time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be-
fore it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPoUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale Of it increased,
and at last he established manufac-
tory and furnished it to the general
drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs.
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and ca-
;tarrhal diseases generally. THOU
SANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in tfetreatmcnt of these
ailments. They have learned to trust
and believe in DE-. Hartn,an's judg-
ment, and to rely on his remedy, Pc

RATIO OF SEEDS TO STRAW.

The ratio of seed to straw varies
greatly. On rich land, manured with
nitrogenous fertilizers, the growth OF
straw is great compared to that of
grain, and the same in wet seasons,
being the reverse when the season is
dry. To prevent lodging it Is recon.
mended by some that an application

KILLS LIKE LIGHTNING
How Deadly rheumatism of the
Heart Comes On.

Those pains you feel when you first arise
in the morning-aching pains in the joints
shooting pains in the musclec-are signs
of warning. They are danger signals, evi-
dences of deep-seated trouble that if lot
removed may affect the entire SYSTEM and
cause chronic disease, or if the cause Is not
removed, they may develop suddenly into
the deadly Rheumatism of the Heart, which
kills like lightning.
Better get rid of the cause at oEce.
Rheumatism and its kindred diseases are
caused by the accumulation of poisonous
acids in the blood. Rubbing with oils or
liniments will not cure it; it is an internal
disease, and can be conquered only by an
internal remedy. There is just one com.

dangerous germs out of the blood and

Owing to modern methods Of living
not one woman in thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period OF
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in q deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion Of any organ,
the tendency is at this pc r o d
likely to become active and with q
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tunlors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
