TAKE PERUNA FOR

to do great injury. After the e1pectora-
tion has been properly removed the cough
will stop itself. That is the only proper
way to stop cough.
Occasionally cough depends upon an
irritable condition of the larynx or bron-
chial tubes, in which there is little or no
expectoration.
The problem of stopping such cough
is slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken. but some
times it is necessary that local treatment
be added
But in any case Peruna is needed You
do not have to stop to write me- Get
Peruna at once and commence taking it
You can get rid of that cough sooner I
believe than in any other way
Should you wish to consult me at any
time while you are taking Peruna you are
at perfect liberty to write me. Your let

HINT AT PoLoNAIsE EFFECT
New Gowns Show Signs Of Revival Of
Old Fashion That May Again
Become Popular.

A few of the new gowns go back to
the remote epoch OF the polonaise
The coats of the last season, with
their deep round pointed backs and
long curved fronts. have paved the
way SO that the transition to the pol
onaise does not seem surprising.
Whether or not 1t will be more than
a tentative experiment remains to be
seen. But at any rate the experiment
is being made
The saying, "Other times, other
manners" is nowhere more sure Of
its application than in the realms of
fashions. So 1t Is quite to be expect
ed that these Twentieth Century Of
ferings In the polonaise should have
their own distinguishing features. In
one case where the polonaise is of
deep pink panne velvet worn over a
white charmeuse slip 1t is extended in
the back to form a pointed train. A
girdle OF silver gauze crosses outside
the velvet In the back, but is drawn
through openings several inches from
the front edges of the polonaise and
then continued in soft folds across
the bust. forming the front of the cor
sage. This polonaise and that OF fifty
years ago are decidedly not the same
thing. but their common origin is un-
mistakable.

contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)

Not Altogether a Case Of Love.

Not Altogether Case OF Love.
Here is a story to illustrate the
point that one never can judge by ap-
pearances.
"A young boy with golden curls, a
regular cherub in appearance. was on
the front porch playing with a little
dog and putting him through a lot of
tricks. A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance of the
little chap and the celerity with which
the dog obeyed all his commands.
"Ah, little boy" he said, you must
love your dog. Are you good to
him.
Sure answered the cherub.
And / suppose he loves you,
too. and that's why he minds you SO
well?'
We'll, II he didn't mind me, I'd
knock his blooming block on was the
unexpected retort of the child"
