Josephine's Court

Even In her weakness, however, there Is to be found the source of Josephines strength. Her Creole love of beauty and lrxury, costly as it was, had framed a fitting background for Napoleon's i'm rerial pretensions and made nis court the foremost In the world when, had he been left to his own devices,s Git would have been nothing more than military camp and the butt of scornful Europe
 With simple and genuine fondness for people, and with native dignity free from the stiff hauteur, the icy arti- fieiality of women bred in royal palaces, the supple little islander from the sugar loft of Martinique deftly blended a mot Icy array of ex-sergeants and their gar rison wives with the old nobility. Under her dainty touch the Tuileries became the mold of form and the looking glass of fashion, for all the ancient and frumpy courts of the continent. Even the Eng lish, although they blockaded Napoleon lelentlessly, were eager enough 10 snug gle across to London the latest models fitm Josephine's dressmakers A re- vival of the British fad for the empire style, a century after the reign of the Empress was at an end, provoked the jingling irony of Gilbert in the opera of "Petience".

 While Napoleon was waging his mili- tary campaigns, it was no less Jose phines duty to conduct her social cam paigns, and censorious world could find no fault in her strategy.

CATARRH OF
The PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day,
all DAY. That Is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years A
little mucus covers the pharynx.
II you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. III you were to look into
your own throat you would find Just
back OF the soft palate red, lumpy
granular appearance of the back part
OF the throat Pharyngtis the doe
tors call 1t.
Perhaps he would call it, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you
Worse In the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem, That is
the way you are going nearly all day
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment
Peruna is the treatment Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try it for a week
You will be convinced. OF course
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
IN week. That is too much to ex-
pect Of any remedy. But it will bene-
fit you SO much you will be con-
vinced. Yes. it will. 1t has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words.
Almost as bad as the disease. But il
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you will
have a perfect right to forget the big
words too.
People who object to liquid medi-
eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

WILL SELL ZIG RANCH

The Graham ranch Of 3 500 acres Of hay
aud pillow land, laying along the south side
OF the Arkansas river and north and west
OF Granada is to be subdivided and sold to
settlers in tracts of five, ten and fifteen
acres. Each tract will be equipped with
well, pump, gasoline and reservoir for
irrigation. The work OF the surveyors
will be started in the very near future.
FOR nearly year officers of the Alfalfa

considering the step. and for six months

devoted erea, deal of time to the study

search tor an engine that would furnish
power at the lowest cost tor up.keep.
Within the past week the pump and the
engine considered most desirable has been
selected, and plans were made tor immedi.
ately placing the tracts on the market,
Preliminary to the launching of cam.
paisn for the sale of the tracts, several
wells will be put down and pumps and
engines installed for demonstration pur
poses. As there is not a spot on the
whole ranch where the underflow of the
Arkansas river cannot be tapped at
depth of from ten to fifteen feet there is no
qsestion of the water supply
The Burr T. Beachel Co. of Granada
will have charge of the marketing of the
tracts and Mr.. BeacheI tells MS that he has
had number of inquiries from local
people who are considering purchasing,
and further that he has already made four
sales of five acres each The purchasers
are: Ralph Woods, Mr.. Thornton and
Chris knudson of Granada, and C.. II.
Loveland of Denver. All of the tracts
will be in operation this summer. Mr..
Beachel is greatly elated over these sales,
and says it certainly speaks we'll for the
undertaking when local people, acquainted
with the land, will put their money into it.
The land is the equal of any in the Ar
kansas valley for the growing of fruit and
vegetables and as location for small dairy
farms it has no equal. Bristol Record.
