northern boundary touches Belgium,
the Department of the North leaving it
only five-mile participation in the
international boundary Within its
borders many historic clashes of
arms have taken place-at st. Quentin
in 1857, and during the Franco-Prus-
sian War; at scissors and Laon dur
ing the Napoleonic and the Franco
Prussian wars; and at Craonne year
before Waterloo. Chateau Thierry,
Vervins, ST. Gobain, and many other
places in the Department have figured
in the history making of the past few
months in France.
The country of the Aisne is a success
sion of long, rolling swells, broken
here and there by unexpected hills,
and fretted with wonderfully well-kept
little farms, with fields of grain-main-
ly oats and wheat-and with large
stretches of potatoes, sugar-beets and
fibre plants. All around and in be-
tween are the carefully groomed Gov
eminent forests typical of France and
Germany-extensiv wooded areas
where broken branches, brambles and
shaggy growths are not allowed to
spoil the general effect
There are many small industries
scattered throughout the Department
1t contains some excellent clay beds,
which supply number of small brick
works. There are a sprinkling of
small plants for the weaving of cotton
and silks, the milling of -four, and foy
distilling and brewing. Its beet-sugar
manufacture is one of it's most import
ant Industries. It's mirror works at St.
Gobain are famous wherever telescope
equipment is used, perhaps the finest
telescope mirrors in the world bear
ing the hallmark of st. Gobain.
The Aisne is essentially an agricul-
tural department. It's northeastern
lands form good pastures and support
a considerable amount of dairy farm
ing. One of Europe's most effectively
insistent cheeses, a simple peasant s
cheese, is ripened there. This cheese
is sold in the form of little yellow
green cylinders, and has sturdy in
dividuality about it which always COM
mands the immediate respect and at
tention of the stranger Inwardly, il
is related to a German product which
takes its name from the Harz Noun
tains.
The Departments area is about g.
666 square miles-a little more than
twice that of Rhode Island; and the
population numbers more than half a
million Peasant holdings abound
\ Trig, intensely through small
farms fringing the roads, the rivers
SOmme, Escaut, Sambre, Aisne, Marine
Ourcq and Disc, and the miles and
miles of interlacing canals, give the
American visitor a vastly different idea
of the European peasant from that
which he cherished at home. In north
ern France, probably, the peasant
proprietor reaches his fullest dignity
and his industry, thrift and pleasing
appearance remove him from the class
of objects that demand pity.
Laon is the capital of Aisne. 1t is
built all en- top of Y-shaped hill, the
spur of the Y being given over to forth
fications and military camps. Laon is
one of the several European towns
which have to be scaled by the tourist

Robust B DOM of Youth

A smooth, yelvety-soft skin, with

the Creators most exquisite works.
When the first blush of youth is over,

them-that's the question. Famous

known that ordinary mercolized wax
works wonders in this direction. It
actually gives new surface to the
skin, restoring that marvellous girlish
color and softness in a remarkable
manner. An ounce of this wax, pro-

Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh.
1t may settle In the upper part Of the
throat, called the nasal pharyngeal
space. In this space are two little
tubes called eustachian tubes, that
lead to the middle ear.

CATARRH OF THE THROAT
Is Liable 10 Produce Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss Of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows 1t.
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
Il he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick OF his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect 1t at all. His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus-
picion that he Is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing In the ear, or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear, or a feeling OF pressure in the
ear, but he is not aware that he is
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
It is good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move it
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear 1t tick. Try it on
the other side and see If both ears
are alike. II you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at distance Of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed In the "Ills OF
Life" sent free by Peruna Co, CO.
lumbus, Ohio. Persist in this treat
ment until a cure is effected.
Tho Best Way to GargIo.
Sometimes catarrh OF the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac-
cumulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called, will require long time
with the gargling to remove. Car
Cling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids. and no surgical operation Is
required.
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the Ills Of Life"
During the whole course of gargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.
People who object to liquid medi-
oines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
