FREAK HATS ARE BANIsAEp
New styles Show Designs Really Lik-
able and Wearable, Though Much
Depends on Adjustment.

There ia certain reasonableness in
the new hats which at once strikes the
customer. The freakish styles have
been banished. and in their places
there is an array of really likable and
wearable hats. These hats sit square
ly on the head. and one can see a
friend few yards distant instead Of
being compelled to peep under brim
which completely envelops the wearer.
The hair is permitted to show itself.
and thus add softening frame to the
face, and the crown Of the hat Is d.
rectly over the crown of the head. The
wearer gives to the hat the little In
dtviduali touches as she adjusts 1t.
There are women who can make al
most any hat becoming by the way
they wear 1t, while other women never
seem to place the hat the right angle.
This knack of adjusting hat is born
In some women, while others must ac-
quire 1t. but 1t is well worth striving
for, even II the results always look
studied. 1t is particularly to be de-
sired this season. for the style of
many of the new hats depends largely
on the angle at which they are ad-
justed.

COLD IN
THE HEAD
ls the First Chapter In tho History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold In the head Is the first chap
ter in the history Of disease and death.
This has been SO Ditch repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples Of 1t.
A cold in the head ia rarely severe
enough to conf1ne q vigorous person
to the house. As rule, 1t ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard cold
in the head as of no importance. It is
a terrible mistake. however, to pass
by cold in the head as trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that few doses is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better 1t is to treat a cold In this
way than 1t is to allow 1t to go on and
on for weeks. perhaps months. leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a'cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case Of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called SO. in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
head will end in chronic catarrh. I'm
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold In the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe a tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take tablespoonful Of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women. should take
q teaspoonful every hour.

the couple is. but said he was sure

But the willy head OF the house knew
