The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account Of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
would catch cold and become so
hoarse I could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
corary relief.
"This winter / was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me tostakc
PE-RU-NA. By the time I had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the. purpose"
For any disease due to catarrl,
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh Of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloatings belching gas, Indigestion,
.catarrh Of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or. liquid
form.

ton That, Following the Great
War, Most Of Us Take Things
Too Seriously.

There is not only possibility but q
probability that most Of us in these
stressed times are losing the fine flower
and zest of life by taking life and our
selves too seriously. The mistake, for
It is mistake, Is natural.
We are just emerging from war
that may or may not have been the
Armageddon of prophecy. but it GER
tainly resembled that vast gathering
of the nations in its great outlines, and
nations as we'll as individuals are still
engaged. so to speak, in stock-taking
after its termination, If indeed we have
come to the end of it.
Some are looking forward to a new
business era of unprecedented oppor-
tunity in trade and money-making
others are looking apprehensively for
4 still further nnsettlement Of the
worlds equilibrium incidental to the
peace-making, and others still are
looking for new heaven and new
earth and the dawn Of millennial peace
and happiness.
But all are looking to the future and
putting their hopes of happiness in its
keeping. All seem to have put off by
general consent the attainment of hap
piness until tomorrow. Happiness Is
still thing to come, not thing we
may and should and can receive to
day along the common road Of every
day life. We are all too much inclined
to run hither and thither wherever the
loudest voice may call attention, in
stead Of quietly pursuing the even
tenor Of our way, taking account Of
what happiness means to us individu-
ally.
We must, Of course, bear manfully
our part Of the worlds burdens, but
our shoulders are not broad or strong
enough to bear, like Atlas, the weight
Of the whole world. ESPECIALLY is the
summer season one that should invite
us to repose, joyousness and happiness
II we will but enjoy its lavish beauty
and fulness of content. We should try
to forget for few weeks at least, for
few months If possible, the storm
and stress and weller Of the world.

restrictions OF the past surely lay upon
her a grave responsibility. Lastly, her
very claims to such emancipation rested
upon her own demand for a share In social
betterment and upon her boast. of being
both able and willing to assume such re
sponsibility.
On the other~hand, certain sinister as.
poets OF feminine procedure are calculated
to cause serious doubts OF her willingness
and capacity-at least, Judging from the
manners of leading women, especially
"feminists," as such. The rottenest kinds Of
doctrine affecting marriage emanate from
women. Birth control and such other new
names for old vices find their most ardent
advocates among them Divorce, as we all
know. is rampant. And so on down the
shameless litany of lust. And, to cap 1t
all--or rather. to make II visual to the
eye as wen as to the mind-we witness an
indecency OF feminine attire that would
cause envy TO a Salome or an inmate Of
the court of Nebuchadnezzar.
And so the doubt arises IT, after all, we
can look to the socalled modern" women

the then known world was highly civil
lized. Artistically and intellectually 1t was
undoubtedly superior 10 our civilization.
Politically 1t was equal, and almost equal
in respect to physical wellbeing. Yet, In
a short while, that civilization perished.
Why? Well. the causes assigned by his
torians read like repetition Of the con-
ditions now obtaining with us. The IA
nous Italian historian. Ferero. has re-
peatedly pointed out the amazing parity
between conditions In the decadent Roman
empire and our own. Really, one almost
laughs at seeing US In 1890 doing exactly
the same fool things that men were doing
In A. ID. 20 and after.
The farms were being abandoned, coun.
trymen leaving the land to seek higher
wages and more exciting life in the cities.
Production Of the necessaries OF life was
so alarmingly decreased that the ,authori-
ties had to compel farmers to stay In the
country. Food prices were soaring.
The cities, especially Rome, the capital.
increased enormously In size, Just as our
own, especially Washington. Apartments
(relatively skyscrapers) sprsng up as with
us to the destruction OF the home. There
was a scarcity Of houses. Rents were out
OF sight. Industrislly there was the famil-
lar disinclination to work, cutting down

worse. And so we read the same old
monotonous tale Of indecent dances
shameless theatres, brazen rouging and
easy divorces which are so familiar to us
now. The home.loving Cornelias OF sim.
pier days had given place to the new
woman Of the type Of an Agrippina or
Poppea. In word woman then proved
an utter failure as a moral force
Now, the point am making is this: A

Politically things
we're rotten, even
though the system
WAS perhaps better
than ours. Corrup-
ton was so universal
that then, as now, the
average respectable
man did not enter in
to politics More and
more all civil admin

even there gradually
the Senate, !. O., the

became more and
more shorn OF Its
power.
Religiously. the old
faith, strong In It's
way ven though
pagan, gave way bo
newer superstitions
strikingly recalling
the spiritualism Of our
own day. Morality
sank in consequence
to its lowest ebb.
And now, In such a
state of affairs, what
were the women DO
ing to help matters?
Well, the testimony
of all, from sstirists
like Juvenal down to
historians like Taci-
