Just Their Way.

Our great -grandmothers used 90 wear
a very modest cotton dress.
Our great grandfathers used to think
Such garments charming. more or less:
Girls uf today
In silk array
Must rig themselves or else distress
And things OF that sort are to pay.
Our great grandmothers used to sit
And knit bit OF fancy string:
Our grent-grandfathers used to think
That was very proper thing;
But now they paint
Some pictures quaint
or sit around the house and sing;
A knitting stunt would make them faint.
Our Rreat-grandmothcrs used TO walk
To church or any other place:
Our great grandfathers. you can bet
We're quite eager In the chase
AS those who scoruh
Up to the porch
And got the lady In the case.

which isn't saying that the girls
Were any better long ago;
They had TO work. and 80 they claimea
They sort OF liked II, don't you know.
The lady grand
who folds her hand
And doesn't bake or churn or sew
Suits US quite well, please understand.

DEPRESSED PROSPERITY.

when such a conservative business
organ as the New York Journal of
Commerce is constantly warning is
readers that the condition OF the
money market is critical and that the
associated banks of New York have
about all their surplus tied up. 1t be-
hoovcs other people to sit up ana take
notice. Call money is offered in New
York from to 3 per cent, but "ac-
commudations TO mercantile houses
can scarcely be had for less than 6
per cent and the railroads would be
glad tn secure funds at that figure.
This would indicate tat the banks are
cautious just now, for there is fear Of
the future hence the high interest de-
mandcd ON commercial and time
loans. yet the journal of Commerce
says Money is scarce in New York"
How is 1t elsewhere? In all the
great interior money centers, like
Chicago ana ST. Louis. the banks have
increased their loans In proportion to
their deposits and surplus funds are
scarce there also. In fact, the banks
of the western and middle states are
loaned up TO the limit so that even
in the event Of higher interest being
offered later In the year In New York
there would be but little chance ot
western money flowing there when
the crops begin 20 move, which Will

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known as grip
i used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in it's hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
county very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches 1t from the
atmosphere.
"Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for la Grippe"
Robt. L. Madison, A. M, Principal OF
Cullowhee High School, Painter, NJ G.,
is chairman Of the jackson County
Board Of Education.
He is writer Of occasional verso and
has contributed TO number of leading
papers and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
~ am hardly ever without Peruna IN
nv home. It is the most effective rnedl-
cine that have ever tried for 10 grippe.
att also cured my wife Of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
ain consequence, an inflamed condi-
ton of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruna was tried"
Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when In q
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, if there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement OF the
mucous M mbranes, then the victim be-
comes ar easier prey to the grip.
This IL part explains why some Peo-
pie gee the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna TO be invaluable.
Systemic Catarrh, the Result nf La
= Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, Box A,
White Oak, Ind. Ter: formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"six years ago had la grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
sThe only thing l used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been in better
health the last three years than fol
years before.
ri give Peruna all the credit for my
good health"
