I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling

and various prescriptions but they all signally
failed: many of them made my hair greasy so it
was impossible to comb it or do it up properly.
I think that many of the things tried were posi-

cannot too strongly caution you against using
preparations containing wood alcohol and other
poisonous substances. believe they injure the
roots of the hair After my long list of failures,
finally found simple prescription which I can
unhesitatingly state is beyond doubt the most
wonderful thing for the hair I have ever seen.
Many of my friends have also used It. and OBJ

CATARRHAL
COUGH
Is Caused by Catarrh of the Throat
and Bronchial Tubes.

Some coughs are produced by a grave
organic disease of the lungs. Other
coughs are produced by heart disease.
An irritable stomach will produce a
cough. Stomach coughs are more COM
mon than is generally supposed.
Catarrh will also produce a cough.
Catarrh of the bronchial tubes. Ca
tarrh of the larynx. Catarrh of the
pharynx.
In catarrhal cough the amount of
expectoration is limited. 1t is not so
easy to raise as in cases OF organic dis
eases of the lungs. It may be frothy
or stringy mucus, difficult to expecto-
rate. People will go on for months
with this sort Of cough and give it no
attention.
Ordinary cough medicines that are
intended to lul1 the sensitive nerves
that are irritated by the catarrh will
do no good. In fact, they do harm.
What is needed is Peruna, which
strikes at once at the cause of such
cough. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
AS soon as the catarrh is removed from
the throat and bronchial tubes the
cough disappears.
Usually the directions on the bottle
are sufficient. In some cases where
the cough is very continuous and an
moving q tablespoonful every hour is Q
better way to take it. But multitude
Of people who are suffering with this
sort of cough and yet going about their
nsnal business need only take the Peru
ma according to the directions on the
bottle.

SOME ANIMALS CAN REASON
Hind Legs When Unable to Con-
meet With Forepaws.

A contributor to the Youths Com

certainly supports the theory by
some people that animals can rea-
son:
I'VE were on a stage journey from
Lewiston, Idaho, to Grangeville, Idaho,
a distance of 70 miles. The stage
stopped for noon at the Fountain
house, halfway between the two
towns. A large raccoon was chained by
the collar to post in the front yard.
After luncheon the driver of the stage
gathered up plate of food from the
table and carried it out to where
the animal was chained. He set the
plate Just out of reach of the rae
coon's front paws. The animal strain
ed and reached, but could not cover
the distance.
zone Of the passengers said, Why
do you not place it within his reach
"eHe can reach it, the driver re-
Piled.
HE can't, unless you move the
plate nearer
"@Wait and see,' said the driver.
"The raccoon had by this time
given up trying to reach the food, and
sat whining. He seemed to ponder
over the problem for few moments,
then stretched his chain to it's fullest
extent, turned round. reached out with
his hind foot, dragged the plate to-
ward him, reversed the process, grasp
ed it in his front paws, and proceed
ed to enjoy his dinner, much to the
amusement Of the onlookers and the
discontinue of the man who was sure
he could not accomplish the task"

CARE AND USE OF CASSEROLE.
Excellent Servant Of the Cook Must
Have Proper Treatment, and This
Advice ls Good.

Advice ls Good.
Before using a casserole for the first
time, it is well to temper it; this is
best done by covering 1t with cold
water. Then letting the water come
to the boiling point, remove from the
fire, and let the casserole remain in
the water until it is cold.
Under no circumstances let the cas-
serole be put on the stove without
water or fat in it; If this is done the
dish will crack.
Avoid sudden changes of tempera-
ture with the casserole; that is, do not
take it from the hot stove or oven
and place it in cold water or In a
wet sink; this will prove disastrous
to the dish.
Casserole cooking requires only
moderate heat; If something is being
cooked in the casserole at the same
time that intense heat is required
for something else, take the precau-
ton of setting the casserole in a pan
of water.
In cooking anything in a casserole
it is we'll to allow twice the time for
cooking that would be required were
the stew or vegetables or fruit cook
ed in the ordinary way.
