The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of tho
old-time household remedies.
In thu early history of this country.
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies AZ picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. >
The patent medicine business is a
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
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
a MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman. THE ORIGINAL COM
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
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a 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.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Feruna.

 l A special window for registration
 will be opened during the. holiday lweek beginning Saturday December
 18th or earlier if necessary, and will
 be kept open as long as patrons call,
 Sunday December 20th this window
 will also be open for the benefit of !, the working class, who have not tho opportunity to mail their packages during the day.
 Carriers will make two deliveries on Xmas day, and cards left by Car riers' showing that there is a package there too large to be delivered can be had by calling.
 Carriers must be prepared at all times to have your parcels( if not too large and cumbersome) registered at your own door and must be prepared to issue you receipt therefor, the same as you would receive if bring ing same to the Post office, this will save you time and trip to the office, and I request patrons to take advan- 1 tage of this and thereby save long waits at the window at the office.
 Have your packages properly pre- pared, with street and number, pro- perly tied and ready to be given to the carrier and if he does not know what 1t costs he will inform you on his return trip.
 Any inattention or refusal on part of the Carrier to do this if reported to me will be appreciated and proper relief will be given. This registration of Packages and letters at your own door and resi- dence should be encouraged by the patrons of the office and it certainly would relieve the working force at the main office, during the Holiday sea- son.
 By assisting me and the force of this office with the suggestions as outlined above, assure you that will endeavor to have your presents and mail at the place if destination and dispatch will be made and no delay will occur as far as this office lis concerned.

The holiday season is fast ap- sznnching and with the same rush and congsstion on all trains and Post .s1sMces of letters and packages intend .ad as Gifts for Xmas and these fol- flowing suggestions are given in time no that the patrons may guide them Halves accordingly.
 Packages and letters for Foreign countries should be mailed now and saountries which are members of the MCnfted States Postal Union and have .aarce1 post can be sent at the rate sof- 12c per pound up to IL pounds.
 Valuable letters or packages should during this time be by all means Reg Tatered, which will cost an additional 1c for Resisteration
 Such letters and packages mailed ,aaow should reach the Dispatching of Sace not later than December 14th and 3n time to make connections with ahips leaving New York. San Francis GO or Seattle on given date.
 Domestic parcels and letters which gre of any value at all. such be sent By registered mails, which insures the sender of the proper delivery and he twill get receipt of it's arrival
 I am making this suggestien be- cause of the great accumulation of Uackages and other mail and invite sftention to the fact that letters and all first class matter takes rrefer- sence over packages not first class and znot registered.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec 19.--After l three days steady work in the capaci- | ty of an expert accountant Al Shields,
 commissioned by the Governor to make the annual accounting as to the amount of money now in the State treasury. last afternoon filed his re-
 port with the Governor. It shows
 very little difference in amounts from l those given in three columns at the close of the last quarter, October l. Mir. Shields report shows that there is now on hand, or was on hand on the date of December 12, currency to the amount of $719,S36.92. or con- siderable reduction since the close of the last quarter, when the total amount
 of cash in the treasury was more than million. The decrease has been occasioned by heavy drafts on the common school fund, the general
 revenue fund and the Confederate pen sion fund.- The total amount of war rants redeemed since the close of the last quarter is $401,34S. The total amount of funds, including bonds, cou- pons, etc., now in the State treasury is $,761, ,419.50.
 The amounts now in the treasury to the credit of the various funds, as shown by the accountants report. are as follows: General revenue .....,,....,....$ 143, 3,277.23 Common school .......... 2,819S1 State capital ................... 362, ,108.76 Permanent school Cnclud
 ing 3 per cent funding
 bonds and coupons) - 1850, ,2oO.25 Morril fund ............... 1915 Confederate pension . 1S,553.38 Tax due counties ...-............ 17,175.2S Sinking fund ............ 164,547.12 Tax due cities ............,,.... 603.1 Penitentiary deposit ...,...... 2,127.S4 State school interest ........ 679.5O U. of A. endowment fund
 (including funds. bonds
 and campus) .................... 19s,27s.75 Teachers fund .......... 440.14
 It is thus seen that the common school fund has practically been with drawn by the various counties. while l the Confederate pension fund has been cut down to small amount and the penitentiary fund has been reduced from over $40,000 at the beginning of 1 the quarter to little over $2.000

For a rough complexion, first. be care

water every night before retiring and
before meals. Every night before re-

Let this remain on the face for ten min

Wash the face in warm water, using
some good pure soap that suits your
skin and a complexion brush. Rinse
thoroughly in clear hot water, gradually
reducing the temperature until il is
cold. Then apply a little dtOXOgen as a
lotion. This imparts a fresh, youthful
glow to the complexion, and If cOntin-
