Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for a
humber of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether Or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.

used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe

In q walking trip a milestone along

fellow in the world; your spirits rise
as you near him as though you were
about to greet a human friend, and
they keep almost consistently on his
high level till his brother a mile dis

And when you overlook one of this
friendly company because of an en-.
c%roaching bank or screening boughs,

welcome. At the latter end of this
passage in the journey your spirits
flag a trifie as though oppressed by a
of desertion. You may even
scowl at the overhanging bank which
is more than a party to this conceal
ment.
Those worthy persons who attend to
the roads should see to it that every
milestone within their province stands
out frankly from its leafy background.

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD,
That's Where the Driver Had the Best

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on

him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream. i,
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with a native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.

I'll have you to Jail for this. There's
a law in the woods just as big as you

Travelled Hands

IN the course Of our lives, says the
statistician, although We write many
letters, we have not the remotest idea
of the distance UT hands cover while
travelling over the paper.
According to him, the average man
or woman writes about 30 words a
minute, which, with the up and down
stroke and curves, represent some.
thing like five yards, or 800 yards an
hour. A person therefore using his
pen for say two hours a day, can
boast that his right hand has jour
neyed a distance of 1870 miles.

woMEN's WORK AT MINES.
Very Few Work underground--In At.
RIGA They Carry Heavy Loads.

Until recently women were employ
ed In England in connection with sur
face work in coal mining and brick
works. The women were found tc
be very strong, but they were other
wise unsatisfactory and were ulti
mately dispensed with at the collier
les. The coal mines regulation act OF
Great Britain prohibits women labor
being employed underground.
In German Southwest Africa an in.
vestigator found many native women
at work about the mines. They were
useful in carrying in loads, especially
OF hrewood. The women labor was
cheap and as long as they were left
alone to take as much time as they
liked over the work and do it as they
wished they were all right.
His next experience was higher up
the coast, in West Africa. Labor was
short and they decided to try women
to carry stones. They carried the
first two loads and then they struck.
Those women quite altered the con.
ditions of carrying stones. They car.
ried them for a certain distance, but
three or four relays had to be pro.
VIded. After that they were tried at
carrying sand and things like that.
They went on for a short while, but
did the work in fits and starts.
In another place, also on the west
coast, where women had been tried
against the black men, it was found
that for carrying in firewood they
were by far the best and cheapest.
There, of course, they were on piece
work, although their tickets were
marked just the same as if they were
on day work.
Their task was to carry in a cord
OF wood a day. They used to start
ABOUT 4:30 a. N. and went on carry
ing until z and from 7:30 till 9 or 10.
Then If they wanted to get off early
the next day they used to carry an
other cord of wood in the afternoon
or a part of it.
they were a decided success, but
they were very particular in what
they called their circle. They did not
mind how close it was to the boilers,
but ii it were a little over their dis
lance they would go to the manager
n want an increase directly.
Some women used to carry about
y pounds on their heads; on an av-
erage about So to 95 pounds of wood.
Statistics published in the Mining
World from time to time show that
there are a number of women en-
pioyed in the coal mines of Belgium
Inc Germany, for instance, as pickers
and sorters. In Germany ONE re-
ceive ~ to 2S cents per day.

Geese on a Cider Sprce.

Martin Beck, a farmer on the Cone.
WACO hills, is Inundated to admit
that three Of his geese vent ON a
~disgraceful spree after having eaten
some pulp from a cider mill.
Some time after the eating of the
pulp, the peculiar action of the fowls
attracted the attention of the farmer,
Ihey swayed from side to side and
cackled h%oarsely. Finally one by one
they fell limp and apparently dead.
Mrs. Beck carried the fowls into the
house, with the intention Of plucling
them, when they revived.
Since then the geese have kept
away from the cider mill, and have
tried to prevent other geese from go
ing near it.-Philadelphia North

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is It a catarrh Remedy, or q
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right!
Is 1t more proper to call Peruna q CO.
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific sction on the mu.
cous membranes affected by the Ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con.
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc.
runa which constitutes a specific rem.
edy for catarrh thas in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein.
forced by such renowned tonics as
C0LL1NS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR.
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all it's
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter Of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the.
ocy the result is a truth that cannot be
shaken.

in search of a novel means of doing
good do not engage reciters and story
tellers to visit hospitals and amuse
the patients. A rich man in New

WASHING RUGS AT HOME.
Small Ones Can Be Made to Look az
Bright as New.

The value of soap bark in cleaning
WOODEN dress materials is known to
nearly every woman who makes over
dresses. An enterprising hausekeeper
recently found that she could use it
in washing small oriental rug with
most gratifying success.
She got five-cent package of the
soap from the druggist and STEPPED it
for two hours In a quart OF water.
Then she strained it through cheese
cloth bag, SO that the fine particles OF
the bark would not stick to the rug.
Into the bath tub, which was half
full of warm water. she poured part
of the clear, brown fluid made from
stepping the soap bark. Then she put
her rug, well beaten and swept. into
the tub and pounded ii with stick
The water was soon very llrty. She
let this water run of, filed the tub
half full again and put in more soap
bark liquid.
Then she drew the rug up over the
edge Of the tub. three or four incher
at time, scrubbing Il across with a
stiff brush as she did so. After two
rinsing waters she hung tho rug on
the line in the sun and wind. It dried
after several hours and was exquisite-
ly soft II was also cleaner than il
had ever been after being sent to the
carpet cleaner. The colors were rich
cr and the design itself seemed
clearer.
