MORE DESIRABLE THAN BEAUTY.
Writer Makes Good Argument in Fa-
vor Of Neatncss.

We all long for beauty, but there
Is within the grasp of all women
something even more desirable than
beauty-namely. exquisite neatness.
The writer has descanted on the de-
STABILITY of neatness more than once.
but it is something that will bear to
be talked about more than once, or
twice, or even dozen times. Faith,
says Pat, when reproved for lying,
"Oi have such a respect for Truth, OF
wud not be dragging her out on every
Occashun." The writer differs in this
respect from Pat She has such re-
spect for neatness that she would be
dragging her out on every occasion.
A man who had travelled much and
seen many women in many countries,
said the other day, Il prefer neatness
to beauty. Beauty does not last, while
the woman of so can still be charm
ingly neat" BY neatness he meant
more than simple tidiness. 1t fnclud-
ed style and care and taste and the
indefinable art of putting on ones
clothes properly. 1t is faculty, alas.
that Canadian women do not possess
to any extent, says writer in the
Montreal. Herald. They doubtless in
herit the lack of it from their English
ancestors, who are noticeably untidy.
The mass of Englishwomen do not
seem to know the meaning of the
word. Their skirts and belts always
separate at the back. Their hair is
never beautifully coiffed like the
Frenchwoman's, their whole aspect is
ifrowsy to an extreme. OF course, this
does not apply to all Englishwomen.
There are exceptions to every rule
On the other hand, the Americans are
neat, and hence smart, for it is i'm
possible to be smart without perfect
neatness. They have trim, trig way
of wearing their clothes that gives a
style to the cheapest ready-made. If
you cannot be beautiful you can at
least be charmingly neat. And neat
ness has an attractiveness that mere
beauty lacks.

Why Sioan's Liniment and Veterinary
Remedies Are the Best to Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
snent and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day. In the first place, DR..
Earl S. Sloan is the son of veterin-
airy surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as vet
Urinary for 90 years and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practic-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DIR. Earl
S. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise
on the Horse" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry.

CATARRH MADE LIFE

AvA St., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
''As have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which suffered from for q
number of years, 1 am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as 1 suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that was usually
troubled with headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. l was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged kept on until was COM
piefeiy cured in a months time, and
find that my general health is also ex-

People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet

Many Woods in a Piano.

As many kinds Of wood are used il
the making Of a piano as in the max
ing Of house or an ocean-going steam
ship. Certain woods possess qualities
demanded by piano manufacturers, and
no substitutes will be taken.
The sounding board, for instance, is
never made Of anything but spruce. II
is thin piece more frequently sew
eral pieces glued together-tho whole
thing would hardly make enough kind
ling for a fire, il Ratchet were used
on il. But it is the one essential thing,
aud without il there could be no piano.
Il is selected with care, seasoned in
the most pains.taking manner, cut and
shaped by experts, and it becomes the
soul and life Of the instrument. Had
the spruce used in sounding board
gone to the pulp mill instead Of the
piano factory. it would have made
about enough paper for a couple Of
NutHts vi papOt'
The pianos frame, the part which
holds the strings and endures the in
eessant strain Of several tons, is usually
Of elm, Bicycle rims are of the same
wood, and the enormous load which II
thin strip weighing few ounces can
carry is well known.
The visible part OF the piano is the
veneer, the thin she'll Of wood glued
over the outside Of the frame, The
music would be as fine and the frame
as stroug without the veneer. But it
adds beauty, and for that reason a
beautiful wood is selected, and is stain
ed, vanished, and polished. II may
be walnut, mahogany, oak, ash, maple,
cherry, or rosewood. II is as thin as
egg she'll, but il hides the heavy poplar
planks to which il is glned Yellow
poplar is nearly always used for back
ing OF piano veneer.
Maple and cedar are commonly used
for bridges, levers, hammershanks,
backstops, and other small meohan-
isns, while white pine is excellent for
keys Perhaps not more than one or
two OF the states grow all the kinds Of
wood used in making one good piano,
material must be brought to-
gether from distant places; but all OF
those necessary are found in sufficient
quantities IN the United States; though
amounts Of the finest for
eign woods are brought in for veneer
on high grade instruments.
