Nearly everybody is obliged more CT
less to take laxative. There are OF
course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna Is laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as a gentle
laxative. but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, or some one who can give
the case his personal attention. But
long before this happens the person
will complain OF this or that symptom,
which is not severe enough to interiors

LURE OF THE CIRCUS.
Hold of the Music and Sawdust Odor
Upon Old Performers,

Hold of the Music and SaWdust Odor
Upon Old Performers.
Sometimes | think there must be
two distinct varieties of humanity,
said an old circus man. one of which
we might call the rovers and the other
the stay at homes. With my own taste
for rowing it was hard for me to I'M
derstand that ninety nine persons in
every hundred are content to stay in
one place most of their lives and even
are unhappy If taken out of it, but
there are such people, and they are the
vast majority. The rover, who is one
man or woman in hundred, likes TO
wander and is unhappy If confined to
one place. Probably If 1t were not for
him there would be no circus. Love
OF the road has strong hold on all
the circus people. from performers TO
canvasmen and drivers When you
hear the band play you join outr' is
the way they put it themselves. and
once l had a striking illustration Of
this.
l was checking window paper in
small town and came to fine plate
glass front. 1t was the best tailoring
establishment there and ordinarily
would have been passed by the litho;-
rapher as unobtainable. but it had
single sheet of our paper and | went
in to take up the order. 1t developed
that the tailors brother was rover
and had trouped with circuses as
bandsman-a windjammer. in the YER
nacular. His influence had put that
Autograph there, and he chatted with
me.
you won't catch me round here to-
morrow, Mike. while that show is In
town." he said. If | saw as much as
a side wall half mile off I'd be join
ing out again, No. sir. I'm going up
into the country tonight My brother
pays me good wages here. and there's
nothing in trouplng."
A week later ! dropped back to the
show, 1t was 10 In the morning. and
the parade was just leaving the lot
Somebody shouted. Hey there, Mike,'
from the big band wagon. and on going
nearer | saw the tallor's brother, seat
ed among the other windjammers,
with a red and gold coat, a plumed hat
and his cornet.
Il thought you were going up into
the country"
Forget it, he replied 81 didn't CO.
He had heard the band play.
Circus people are of all sorts-old
and young, Americans and foreign
born, well paid performers and bosses
and ne'er do well hostlers, canvasmen
and razorbacks. From time TO time
they will turn and denounce their call
ing, just like other people. In fact,
never knew man In any line who
would not occasionally scold about his
occupation and regret that his talent
had been frittered away in such an I'M
promising field when he might have
done so much better in something else.
but that is no indication that he doesn't
like his job, and circus people like
dust. horses and animals. the music OF
the big band. the peculiar hollow rat
tie of circus wagons. the daily jumps
and the little knot of curious stay at
homes who seem always to be round
to watch whatever circus man does.

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

good tonic laxative the great majority
of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be
kept in the house. Its virtue as a
preventive to disease is the thing I
wish chiefly to emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation
may lead to serious sluggishness of
the bowels, biliousness. re-absorption
OF poisonous material and finally
sickness. Or apathy of the stomach
In which the food is not relished, may
gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or
to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these condi-
lions few doses of the tonic laxative
Peruna would set matters right. This
is why the remedy should always be
kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as a
household remedy is understood mo
home would be without 1t. Cathartics.
pills and powders would be discarded.
Irritating tonics would be no longer
taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no
place. With a few doses of Peruna a
vigorous appetite is produced and If
there be any sluggishness of the
bowels their function is gradually re-
stored.
Most .laxatives are weakening In
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become so thoroughly
established that all medicines are su-
perfiuous. Peruna will be needed. 1t is
exactly the remedy that meets numer-
Gus necessities of the household. Sold
at all drug stores.

STAGE FRIGHT.
Not Even a Veteran Is Wholly Free
From the Disease.

from tno OIseaSe.
1t is said that there are really few
public personages who are free from
liability to stage fright. The veteran
Is as likely to be affected as the novice.
Frequently the attack comes when
least expected, and, no matter how
often the speaker or the artist may
have fat.ed an audience, he can never
feel quite certain that he will not un-
dergo the tortures of this form of
nervousness.
Ii is a curious fact nevertheless that
stage fright sometimes stimulates in
stead Of hopelessly confusing the
speaker or performer. There is story
to the effect that friend of Canning
once observed to him just as that
great man was about to address the
house of commons on an important
measure: why, your hands are cold
and clammy. You are nervous"
"In that case" Canning is reported
to have replied, Il shall make a good
speech" And the prediction was fully
verified, since the orator was at his
very best on that occasion.
For obvious reasons musicians are
among the worst sufferers from stage
fright. One artist trembles, another
perspires excessively, a third suffers
from headache, and fourth is CON
sumed with a terrible thirst. Its most
embarrassing manifestation, chiefly
among those performing upon stringed
instruments, lies in the nervous trem-
bling OF the bow when sustained notes
are attempted.
Pianists, too. have their troubles In
this respect, and many artists have
told of cases wherein their fingers
ran away with them" Singers ex-
perience n catch in the throat" that
is deadly, to say nothing of a witch
ing of the lips, fatal to clear enuncia-
ton.
1t is related that Rubinstein. in the
height Of his powers, gave over the
profits OF lucrative engagement for
no other reason than that he suffered
an attack of this curious malady.-

Lex Julia de Ammonia. Monopoies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile, so
that 1t is certain that the rings of the
ancient days were as mischievous as
they are now. At Athens a law lin

king who made Joseph his prime min

entire administration of Egypt was

kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as Josephs pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years OF remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs OF the Egyptians

inc that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered corn sue
cessively for the Egyptian money, cat

CLEANING GRANITE AT
 NORWICH TOWN HALL
Contractor is at WorI.-Muratic Acid
 Bath for the Stone.

The contractor having the work to do in cleaning the granite at the Town hall has two men engaged on the job, having started on the windows and granite courses on the west side of the building.
 A man on scaffolding paints over the granite with a muriatic acid prep aration, after which the places where most dirt is likely to lodge are scrub bed with stiff brush. The treatment finishes with washing off the stone with a spray of water from a hose. The man who does the work on the rubber boots.
 The effect on the granite is quite mo- ticeable, as the stone is considerably lighted and the dark appearance which comes with time disappears.
