Good Books and the Tango.

Hopkinson Smiths lament that the Ameri-

bridge and the tango have destroyed the taste
for literature comes at time when the best
novels Of the season are being moro discussed
and--we believe though we have not the sta
tistics-more widely read than for many years.
The Custom OF the Country" THE Judgment
House. THE Dark Flower" and '.r. Tenn
barom," for instance, are being referred to by
novel readers in that tone Of intimacy and af-
lection which was prevalent in 'Tnlby" and
Robert Elsmere' days The phrase You really
must read and so," fancy. has been re-
peated more often In the last three months
than In any similar period for a decade. There
fore. Friend Smith, do not despair. When a
new Colonel Carter OF Cartersville" appears It
will be received with as much appreciation az
the original and moro copies will be sold.
But perhaps by good books Mr.. Smith means
not current novels. but such things a. the
Shakespeare plays and Paradise Lost" and the
Canterbury Tales" Doubtless there 10 not
much demand for these works among the class
of people who tango and play bridge and motor.
But neither there much demand for them
among the people who two-stepped dozen
years ago those who roller ska&ed In the
eighties. Nor wdll there over be q tremendous
demand for these claastcA There will always
be, however. q sufficient reading Of them to
keep alive and burning that high light whereby
the world In saved" And that IL enough.

Belled BuZZard Again.

Fitzgerald, Ga, Jan. 23.-The
belled buzzard has been discovered
again, several persons Of this place
claiming to have seen the bell and
to have heard it tingle while out on
an automobile ride eight miles west
Of this city.
The attention Of the party was at
tracted to the bird when he suddenly
whisked from nearby limb, which
put the bell plainly in sight.
Those who claim to know the hab-
its OF buzzards state that just as
likely as not this particular one was
belled several hundred miles away,
and probably many years ago.

AN INCESSANT COUGH.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Throat.

A severe cough is always q grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease OF the lungs. Even
though the cough is n functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. at any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years I was q
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. l had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost n continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
and my condition grew worse. had
an inccssant cough and frequent at
tacks Of bilious collie, from which 1T
seemed I could not recover. My
bowels also became affected causing
alarming attacks OF hemorrhages.
Il tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. l at lat tried Peruna, and in
three days I was relieved of the bowel
arrangement. After using five bottles
l was entirely cured.
Il most cheerfully recommend the
use Of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"

cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Syrup Pcpsin is for all the family,
from infancy to old age, and because
of it's mildness families should pre-
fer it over all other remedies. You
will never again give cathartics, pills,
salts or such harsh physics, for they
are usually unnecessary, and in the
case OF children, women and elderly
