WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer.
chants OF Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is. instead OF attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole commu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
Calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections. without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in.
stance, club is organized in a
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
so successfully that organizations are
sprinsing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads in a widening circle

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any. Child Can Do 1.-THE Result Is
Almost Like Masic-Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature OF a chem.
ical experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is a sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in a
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size Of a pea, a piece
of charcoal, common candle in 4
candlestick, and blow-pipe Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead. then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other. with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the fame
Of the candle steadily against the bit
Of White Lead on the charcoal and if
the White Lead is pure it will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules OF metallic lead, under the
intense heat Of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
II. however the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, it will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen. that this experiment is
demonstration, but also Of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul.
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That Is the best paint The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be
fore using it, they will send free
blow-pipe and valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
ten By a LARGE Snake.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel Of an automobile which was
being driven by a woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of a poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. NJ. Fishel,
Route No. l, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa.
tells how she saved her life when bit
ten by large snake.
"On August 30, 1906, I was bitten
on the hand twice by a large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as last resort 1
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as
tonishment found it killed all pain and
was the means of saving my life 1

found in almost every house, compound.
Cd BY the housewife, sometimes assisted
By the apotheoary or tho family doctor.
Suoh remedies - picra, which VA
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes q hop tonic, made
Of whisksy, hops and bitter barks. A
score or moro of popular, homs-nads
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to HOUSE, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business il q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-dme custom. In tho begin
ming, some entsrprising doctor, i'm.
pressed by the usefulness Of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on largo scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for tho home,
and thus it would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE

Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by tho
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to tho public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mem
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr.. Rartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

TALE OF TWO TOTS
HAPPY, THOUGH ThINLY CLAD
AND COLD.
Deep Drifts and Flying Snow Of Little
Moment-And Think Of It!
A Whole Penny to
Spend.

They were plodding through the
snow during the storm, little tots who
were thinly clad, with blue faces and
big bright eyes. Their little baby fin
gers were peeping out of ragged init
tens, wet with snow. Their shoes
were filled with snow, because the
buttons were of at the top. and the
tops were loose.
One Of them was little girl about
six years old. She wore calico dress
and her stockings were patched with
darning marks from knee to ankle
Around her neck she wore woman s
fur neck piece of the style of ten years
ago. The other was boy, and his
thin little legs were covered by trou
tailoring. He swung his arms against
his body for a full minute
why don't you do this?" he asked.
Its a dandy way to git warm"
Cause girls can't act that way
lisped the other little tot. Mamma
says It amt ladylike."
But she eyed her companion with
evident envy. The pair trudged along,
stumbling over drifts and shading
their eyes from the flying snow. AS
the girl held an arm before her eyes
the snow was blown into her sleeve,
leaving her arm chafed red
An automobile whisked by, and
through the glass windows the tots
saw two other children, cozy and rosy
and warm.
Gee" said the boy, "it would be
fine to ride in one Of them"
But just think if they tipped over"
said the little philosopher by his side
And we amt got far to GO

to cross the street. A prancing team

Jagged behind.
Gee said the boy, you amt much

He stretched his little legs and ran
away half block ahead of her. The
girl stopped, breathless, and half-cry-
ing.
The boy stopped, and stood throw
ing snowballs at signboard, trying
to look unconcerned. When the girl
stopped again he looked back. Run
ming quickly to meet her, he threw his
arms around her. half crying himself
Gee he said, don't cry. You
don't have to be runner. l like you,
anyway. Girls amt got to run. I've

The girl stopped crying. Her face
frightened.
Can you spend it, really?" she
asked, shyly.
