THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
OF Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

A serious problem which presents it
self to every mother with girls to raise,
In these days. The exigencies of school
life, the hurry and routine of everyday
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history Of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy atleast, without much
worrying. But the girls present SER
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constan.
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shah she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, $500 Prescott
Ave., st. Louis, Mo-, in a letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. / was
always doctoring her. When we COM
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and we'll"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
r. f. D. 3, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: sour little eight-year-ol girl
had bad cough, and was in a general
run down condition." She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and 1t proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
us to have her cured"
These are samples of many letters
which DIR. Hartman is receiving, COM
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are pickering and differing
rs to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are OF htts
account.

The republican platform declared
for revision Of tie tariff and never a
speaker or . writer asserted that that
meant raising of the rates. On the
other hand Mr.. Taft aud many other
republicans declared that the plat
form meant a reduction of the rates.
Now the protectionists declare that 1T
means more tariff. Like most of the
Republican platform promises it was
made only to trick and fool the people.

The action OF the republicans in con-
gress on the tariff question must from
heneeforth make the tariff the para
modnt issue and no other can push
aside as it has SO often been for the
past decade by other questions. The
democracy has always stood by the
people on The tariff issue and when
they get back to the people on that
issue they will win and not uutil then.

There has been no little discussion
among the land owners of Berkeley
county, since the adoption Of the new
stock law, as to the law regulating di-
vision fences, or fences dividing farms
OF different owners. some farmers are
Of the opinion that the may turn theii
stock in their own field and If theil
stock gets over in their neighbor's
land by reason of the poor condition
OF the neighbours fences, that is his
share of the division fence, that they
are not liable TO him for damages I'M
der the new stock law. As We inter
pref the law, this is incorrect. The law
plainly states that man may let his
land lie open if he 30 chooses and II
bis neighbor wishes to pasture
adjoining land he must take all the d.
vision fence, but If the man later
changes his mind about letting his
land lie out and turns his stock into
tho Iand adjoining his neighbor who
has N AIDE oil tho division fence, then
the aeighbor may recover from him
the cost of his share Of said fssce.
The object Of the law 10 to make
every man control his own stock and
to keep them of his neighbor and If
they get on the nsighber, under any
circumstances, then the owner Of kush
stock must pay for all damages
