ally Leaves the Patient Weak
After the Acute Stage
Has Passed.
Grip Patients Grateful to Peruna, the
Expectorant Tonic.


Do not make the error Of regarding
gEp as an exaggerated cold. There
is big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poi
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip, the air passages are
alive with millions of bacilli poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
Peruna is Tonic Laxative.
1t requires q good tonic laxative to-
keep the body Of the patient as strong
as possible to counterfeit the effect Of
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
lus An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities Is the safest REM
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-
pecially Of coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality Of the
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip eptdemics. In
dications point to the return Of grip
this winter
Do not fail to read the experience
OF former grip patients with Peruna.
Mrs. Gentry Gates, S219 First Ave-.

gotten by means of the theater, or
music, or perhaps in forms which
are associated with dissipation.
Writer'S of evanescent novels are
finding support for the claim that
they give the burdened man or wom-
an, seeking relief from the cares of
the modern social and industrial
system. a means of taking their
minds out of the accustomed char
nels without impairing their moral
fiber or their mental standards.
Mr.. Bryan obviously had in view
only books that are worthy Of seri-
Gus thought or literary Immortality.
These, of course, are the great
works, and they will be produced, as
heretofore. when the world needs or
calls Tor them, The merely enter
tanning class of literature is destined
to perish after a brief space, as all
such literature is. But there is no
denying that some of it furnishes a
form Of mental change to many in
behalf of which there is at least
sor1e argument.

whenever there was an official to be
appointed in the State treasurer
office he should ask the consent of a
political boss to make the appoint
nlent. Suppose politica! boss made
removals ard appointments in the
department OF the State treasurer
without even taking the trouble to
tell the State treasurer what he was
doing. Suppose a political boss
adopted policies for the department
ana put them into practice without
even informing the State treasurer
of what was being done. Suppose,
to all intents and purposes, the State
treasurer were a helpless and hope
less dummy for the boss manage
ment.
A man might be weak enough to
submit neekly to such indignity so

FORM EXCLUSIVE CLUBS
IN ROYAL HOUSEHOLDS.

The latest London club idea is to
organize one composed entirely of mem-
bcrs of royal households. Needless to
say il will be particularly exclusive.
especially in view of the fact that Lord
Knollys, the late Kings confidential
secretary, is to be invited to be its first
chairman. 1t Is hoped that the King
and Prince of Wales will consent 90 be-
come honorary members. \ name for
this club has yet 10 De selected. but as
far as can be gathered there is a gen.
eral desire to call il the King George.
