YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat. The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble little
of this and a little of that, but they
do not care for 1t.
Lunch has lost all Of Its charms,
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong, of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out Of sorts.
That Is all.
1t is in this kind Of a condition
that Peruna acts very beneficially.
After using Peruna, interest in food
is revived. Beginning vith a tea
spoonful Of Peruna before o1ch meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands of people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that is
almost unbearable. The slavery OF
having no interest In life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruna before each meal
Skies will get blue again. Fields will
look green once more and life will
be pleasant. You will feel that yoV
are good for something and the world
is a good place to live in. Peruna
will do it. Not as an artificial stim-
ulant. Simply tonic that stimulates
appetite in a natural way.
Those who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

The Two Spies.

Count Zeppelin, the German aeronaut
who saw service in our own Civil War
tells an amusing anecdote OF army life in
'63 in his "reminiscences, which appeared
in Der Greif, a Berlin magazine. Two
spies had been captured on the banks oi
the Rappahannock. One was Yankee,
the other OF German birth. They were
condemned 10 be hanged to the branch OF
tree that projected out over ihe river,
since such death would save their ex-
ecutioners the trouble of burying them.
1t would merely be necessary to saw
away the branch and LET the two bodies
drop into the water.
The Yankees turn came first. He still
had five-dollar bill in his pocket, and
he pressed it into the hangman's hand
with the whispered words, "For heavens
sake, use frayed roper
The hangman did so. AS soon as the
Yankee was strung up, the rotten rope
broke, and the condemned man fell into
the water. He was a good swimmer,
and so he managed to reach the opposite
bank, which was within the lines OF his
own army.
The German, when he saw what had
happened, turned TO the hangman with a
voice that trembled with fear. "Potztau-
sendP' he cried. "a beg Of you use
stronger rope, for cannot swim r.
