Came Near Losing His Life-How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10, 1906: Il praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November p.
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January Is.
1910, he says: II shall ever In the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise Of Peruna to all SUI
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September s. 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, 1
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith have in its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God. of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote a still later letter. October
81. 1912. He says: 81 took a severe
cold three weeks ago. at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. 1 am now better. I consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years of life. I always stand
feady TO answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as IT has to me. I
am yours as ever, G. W. Roberts.

It is not necessary for US to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

IRONING THE SILK BLOUSE
Some Rules That II 10 Very Necessary
to Observe If One Would Have
Perfect Work.

Never dry a silk blouse before a FIRE
or out of doors. but lay it quite fat In
clean tea towel and leave for an
hour.
If at the end OF an hour you find the
blouse Is still very camp. cover 1t over
hot iron over 1t until II is perfectly
dry. Take care that the iron does not
touch the damp silk, for II 1t does 1t
will most likely leave a rusty stain
very difficult to remove.
Have beside you a basin containing
clean, warm water and a rag; this is
to damp out any creases formed in the
silk when ironing.
Iron the neck, wristbands and
sleeves first; then the back and front
You must keep on Ironing until no
steam arises.
Give the sleeves final pressing at
the end. II you are using sleeve
board this is quite simple matter, as
the sleeve fits nicely on to it and can
be easily turned. If, however, you are
ironing fiat on the table, remember to
do the under side first, for then you
can remove any creases made when
ironing the top side with the damp rag
mentioned above.
II you have baby iron you will find
1t great help when you do the cuffs
as gathers are sometimes rather diff
cult to manage properly with large

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

the way the government men in charge
of the Yellowstone park treated the
wild animals. Just to cite one in
stance, he said, these scoundrels did
not give the poor bears anything to
eat during the entire winter, when the
whole park is blanketed with snow.
The society Immediately started an
investigation, beginning at the office
OF the secretary of the interior. Such
cruelty must be stopped. 1t pressed its
investigation until some friendly nat
uralist told them that bears hibernate

PREFER THE YELLOW PEARL
Eastern People Believe That Colored
Gem Is More Valuable Than the
Pure White.

Most peoples have placed the lus-
trous white pearl above all others.
The Chinese, however, together with
other eastern peoples. prefer the vel
low pearl believing that it preserves
both its luster and color longer than
the white.
This pearl is said to owe its yellow
tint to the fact that the oysters have
been allowed to die and putrefy in
their shells, the shells opening OF
themselves on the death OF the oyster,
This custom has been ascribed to
close to the edge of the shell, and it
is feared that many fine pearls would
be spoiled II the process of opening
the shell with a knife were practised.
Black pearls are very much valued.
The famous necklace of black pearls
belonging to the Empress Eugene was
sold for $4,000.
Pink pearls are much desired among
the Buddhists, who use them profuse-
ly in the adjoining OF their temples.

nation of the body.
The story Of Cleopatras pearl is
well known. To match this there may
be cited the tale told OF Sir Thomas
Gresham, the millionaire merchant O:
Queen Elizabeths time. 1t appears
that the Spanish ambassador had the
bad taste, in the presence of Elizabeth,
to extol the riches of his sovereign.
To shame the foreigner the mer-
chant remarked that Elizabeth had
subjects who at one meal would ex.
pend a sum equal to the daily rev
enues of the king of Spain and all his
grandees.
Not long afterward the ambassador
was invited to dine with the English
knight. who at dinner drew from his
pocket pearl for which he had pre-
viously refused $4,000 He ground 1t
to powder and drank 1t in a glass of
wine to the health of the queen, thus
rebuking the Spanish boaster.
