two grocery boxes about 80 inches
high they will do. The illustrations
show chair supports, for they will
probably be easiest for you to obtain.
AS the chair seats are not high enough
to rest the counter board upon, you
must place a small box upon each to
make them of the right height.
If you cannot find nice clean board
for the counter-top, probably you can
borrow one of the extra dining-table
boards, or the ironing board. Another
board of equal length to that used for
the top, placed across the chair seats,
beneath the small boxes, will make
a good shelf, and by turning the small
boxes SO their open ends will be to-
wards the back of the counter, and
placing short pieces of board across

you will have two splendid cupboards

Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
80 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; Offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
1nanifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
