One Glorious

Betty laughed softly to herself as
she tied a string carefully around her
great toe and attached the other
end to the piece of Irvine that hung
over the window sill. Then she
turned out the light and crept into
bed giggling like a schoolgirl into
the pillows.
It was the night before the glori-
Gus Fourth and Betty had decided
that inasmuch as the holiday came
during the vacation Digs she was
spending back at the old farmhouse
where she was born, she would be q
child again in her enjoyment of It.
She had tired of the conyenttonality
OF the life that was hers In the big
city In which she was now a wage
Garner, and these three weeks in the
quiet country were as days of gold

longer occupied by her parents
they had gone to another world
but in their place there were kindly
people who willingly agreed to take
Betty for the holidays.

tvs childhood chum was visiting at
her old home next door. She, too,
toiled in a distant metropolis, but it
was Carolyn Harmon's pleasure to
send home each week portion OF
her weekly salary to help her father
and mother to keep the homestead.
And 1t was a sentiment alone that
made Betty take her own room in the
home that had been hers instead OF ac-
cepting the hospitality OF her neigh
bors and friends
We'll try to repeat some OF the
fun we had when we were children"
Carolyn had said that afternoon.

.And tie strings on your toes to
wake up early?" Betty had asked.
Carolyn nodded. Even that!
Mother always wakes early and I'll
call you. Just tie string to your
big toe and fasten it to the white
picket fence between the hedges and
Ill pull 1t as early as you like. Wasn't
that what we used to do?"
"Exactly-for mother, poor, dear
mother!-would not let me get up
early. and had to do 1t quietly.

Life to us takes on the guise Of

our friendships, our loves and our

come and go and become dreams.
Our memories are blurs, for the

liberation Of Mosquitoes.

DR.. Howard of the department OF
agriculture. who probably knows as
much of the mosquito and its habits
as any other man In the world, con-
tends that this cosmopolitan pest
does not necessarily perish with the
coming of winter. On the contrary.
mosquitoes have been observed to
hibernate, adult specimens living
from November until the succeeding
April or May with all their powers Of
torment unimpaired, although their
activity is suspended in winter. The
mosquito needs but little food, and
1t is the female that thirsts for blood,
the males contenting themselves with
water and vegetable fluids.
The fact that mosquitoes are often
found upon dry prairies many miles
from water Is ascribed to the long
evity of the adults Of certain species
which enables them to survive sea,
sons Of drought. Railroads have been
responsible for the transmission al
mosquitoes into regions where they
we're previously rare.-Harper's Week

NaylaatIon on the Usage.

One Of the very crookednest streams
anywhere is the Usage river in Mis-
souri,. In that region they tell Of a
farmer living on the banks of that
river who had small flatboat, which,
one day, he loaded with produce and
floated down to market, six miles
away. He exchanged the produce for
goods at one of the stores and loaded
his goods in the 1atboat.
"How are you going to get your stuff
home, Bill?" asked a friend. Got a
steamboat to tow you back?"
at am going to float it back" was
the response.
"How are you going to do that? !
don't understand"
81 guess you don't know much about
this river. 1t doubles on itself just
below here and runs back to within
less than quarter Of mile of my
place. I'VE got landing on both
banks, and team Of horses that can
drag the boat over from one landing
to the other"

years or more.
Even now as she dropped off to

her hair above her pillow, her
thoughts were among her childhood

She was hardly prepared for the
strenuous tug that her toe received
some hours later. Indeed, it seemed
as If she had been asleep but a mo-

the string had been broken off at the
window sill.
Carrie is getting strong In her old

Serious Kidney Disease Treated

Ii could not quite understand how 1t
was that Peruna should operate so
lbenefcially in such seemingly different
diseases. I had not yet grasped the
correct philosophy Of disease. did
mot then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels. Nothing Of that sort
was taught in the books In those days.
It took me years before clearly conf
pretended that catarrh was disease
liable to attack any organ of the body.
Catarrh Is a dis - o. the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, G,ct and cavity In
the body. Thus IL !. c;ttar2i. may set

membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. / Insist upon it, however, that
Peruna is not a cure-all. l uac It for
Just one disease, catarri. But as
catarrh is IiSnie to affect 90 irai!y diff

emit functions, derange SO many differ
emit organs. it does seem to many peo-
pie as il I REGARDED Pcruna as cure

The above nnrratiye Is simply one OF
| the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy Of Peruna in such
variety Of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case Of kid
ney disease is catarrh Of the kidneys.
All cases Of Bright's disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys. This
lbeing true, and it also being true that
Peruna Is a catarrh remedy, 1t follows
that a great many cases Of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna.
