Write to Peruna Testimonials II You
Want to Know the Truth.
The following letter was received
by Dr. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
II notice the testimonial Of Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. II / should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur.
Their particulars? l have heard It said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. ! have been IN
clined to write you great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing so. ! am
afflicted with catarrh and should Ike
very much to find a remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
Ny dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies
There has been so much said against
Ing them, l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence In
them.
wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another. wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
/ hope you will remember that she
70 housewife, like yourself. that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman OF mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. / hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle Is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you Will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh / would be very glad
to hear Of the result. can assure you
that no use will be made OF your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There Is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
/ have thousands Of them in my files.
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

Don't work too hard God meant us

and will be heavy. You must let go
somewhere. The world, your friends
and family have no right to demand
from you more than you can do, and if
you are "A wise woman you will not

beauty of your life, to labor and have
only the dregs left for love. Keep
enough Strength, take enough rest to

Do one thing at a time. Don't hurry,

TellInu tho Baee-

The custom OF telling the bees" Ia
often referred to by those interested
In curious happenings. In some parts
OF England 1t has always been the
habit to inform the bees whenever
there Is death in the family, par
tIcularly when It is that of the mas.
ter or mistress.
Some one raps upon the board sup
porting the hives and says: Mourn
with US. Master Tor mistress) Of the
house Is dead"
1t is thought that II this duty ia
neglected the bees will die, and many
old servants are fond of telling how
the bees pine away when no one
thinks to give then the sad message.

MOTHERS CHAMPION WORKS
FOR POOR MOTHERS PEN
SION IN EVERY STATE.

1t is not much of jump from Bibles
to mothers, and so it is perhaps that
Henry Neil, rich publisher of biblical
literature, has become the greatest
champion of mothers to be found in
the United States today---a champion
who IS doing little talking and a very
great deal of acting.
Neil, whom they call out in Illinois,
''the father of the mothers pension
net is the first man who came to be-
lieve that every state in this Union
ought to pay all dependent mothers a
specified sum each year upon which
to rear their children, thus putting a
check upon institution bred children
| who, he declares never reach their
full powers because of the lack of
mother love.
GOD never meant that little chill
dren should be brought up in big
groups like fields of cabbages, else he
would not have given them mothers"
Children respond to love, not to ma
chine made love, but to real human
mother-love for which there is no sub
stitute, not even in the most wonder
full, most scientific institution in the
world.
And that is the reason that Henry
Neil is giving up a great deal of his
money and great deal of his time, to
go about the country, asking the leg
islatures of some forty odd states to
change their laws so as to provide
pensions to INDECENT mothers.
"The laws which take poor moth
er's babies from her, and which are
now operative in nearly all our com
monwealths, says Neil 'works this
nation double wrong. 1t reduces the
value of our future citizens 10y running
them all through II similar chopper
and it wrecks the lives of their moth
ers as we'll
"A child is an anchor to any moral
woman. Take that child away from
her and she has nothing to live for, to
strive for. So nine times out of ten
she goes to the bad And that proves
not on y that we should not separate
mothers and babies, but that we have
absolutely no right to separate moth
erS and babies-that when we do so, in
most cases we are actually transgress-
ing Gods laws.
'But I'm all up in the clouds on this
thing adds Neil swapping his jaws.
Il IN pretty practical about it too.
have figured it all out and find that
every state can save MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS yearly by adopting my
scheme as well as save thousands of
little homes yearly. Small pensions to
mothers, enough to allow them to
keep their flock around them will not,
in year, amount to nearly as much
as it takes TO run the various childrens'
welfare institutions that now burden
tax payers pocket books SO unneces-
sarily."
Neil is a big, quiet, efficient man
who thinks logically and acts directly.
His home is in Chicago but he is sell
dom in it. He hates to travel but he
keeps right on doing it because, as he
says, he believes in doing what the
Bible tells us"
And as he says this his eyes wander
to card that hangs above his desk,
which reads.
GLE WENT ABOUT DOING
GOOD"

ages. The Roman girls used TO strike
balls with the palm OF the hand to
keep them bouncing or would fling
them against the wall 10 drive them

ball from hand to hand In the ring or
In n row. The ball OF the olden times

A Sinale Line Post.

Every man has the streak of poetry
In him, and probably every man could
write one line of poetry out of his life.
as any man has one novel in himself
But we were talking at large the other
day, and q man quoted the line. "A
rose red city half as old as time" And
then came the question. Who wrote
that line that everybody knows? One
man said 1t referred TO Damascus. But
no one knew who wrote II.
There are single line poets as there
are Single Speech Hamiltons. and
here is perhaps the only instance in
which the Newdlgate prize poem at
Oxford has produced living line. for
the author was the Rev. J. w. Burgon

pursuit of distinguished Mameluke
leader. Not many days after a cour-
tier arrived with favorable dispatches,
favorable In the main, but reporting
one tragical occurrence on a small
scale that to Napoleon outweighed the
public prosperity.
The commander as brave man felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than to fall into the hands
of the enemy. He set fire to the pow
der magazine. The vessel blew up
and the crew persisted.
For all this Napoleon cared little.

report which struck BIN with secret
alarm-this Ill fated boat was called
