IWTites:
SinSe my advanced age I find
that 1 have been frequently troubled
with urinary ailments. The blad
d.er teemed irritated, and my phy
sician said that it was catarrh
caused by a protracted cold which
would be difficult to overcome on
account of my advanced years. I
took Peruna, hardly daring to be
lieve that I wnuld be helped, but I
found to my relief that I soon began
to mend. The irritation gradually
sub&ided-and the urinary difficulties
passed away. 1 have enjoyed ex
cellent health now fqr the past seven
months. I enjoy my meals, sleep
soundly, and am as well as I was
twenty years ago. I give all praise
to JPeru'na. "C. B. Newhof.
-Suffered From Catarrh of Kidneys,
Threatened With Nervous Collapse,
Cored by Pe-ru-na.
Mr. F. B. Richards, 609 E Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C, War Correspondent,
writes: "Exactly six years ago I was
ordered to Cuba as staff correspondent of
tHeNewYork Sun. I was in charge of a
BuiTTJispatch boat through the Spanish
American War. The effect of the trop--ical
climate and the nervous strain showed
plainly on my return to the States. Lassi
tude, depression to the verge of melan
cholia, and incessant kidney trouble made
me practically an invalid. This undesira
ble condition continued, despite the best of
treatment.
"Finally a brother newspaper man, who
like r myself had served in the wai in
duced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna.
I did j so. In a short time the lassitude
left mfc, my kidneys resumed a healthy con
dition, and a complete care was effected.
I . cannot too strongly recommend Peruna
to those suffering with kidney trouble.
To-day I. am able to work as "hard as at
any time in my life, and the examiner for
a leading insurance company pronounced
me an 'A' risk."

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. It can be used any
length of time without acquiring a drug
habit. Perunaidoes not produce temporary
results. It is permanent in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are a
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used ff and on for twenty years. Such
a thing could not be possible if Peruna
contained any drugs of a narcotic nature.

PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH.
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From
Supernatural Detective Work, f
Once or twice, a year some extraor
dinary piece of evidence finds its way
into the papers of the survival'of .the
most primitive forms of witchcraft, j
and of the belief ia the same, in parts
Df Ireland.
As a rale these cases transpire when
the law is broken by persons ill-treating
the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
on the fire to drive an evil spirit out
of her.
But the last few days have shown a
novel case, in which the protection of
the law was invoked to protect certain
persons against a witch.
An old Irish peasant woman had suf
fered from the theft of a small sum
of money. Being unable to discover
the thief or thieves, she had made a
straw image, dressed it up, stuck it
full of pins, and placed it on a bier,
and proceeded to hold a "wake" or
funeral party over it. She then de
clared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable invocations,
with the certain result that as the
straw of which it was made decayea
away so would the body of the thief
waste and dwindle.
Certain of the neighbors (possibly
with guilty consciences) asked that the
police might stop this experiment in
witchcraft, as it gave them great un
easiness. -
Lost Calf Found With Wild Deer.
An odd story comes up from Great
Island, in Portland harbor, in connec
tion with the deer situation down
there. Last fall a calf belonging to
Frank Stevens strayed away and, al
though efforts were made to find it,
could not be located.
Recently,- however, some gunners
who were out hunting saw the long
lost calf in company with a deer, and
since that time the two have been
seen together on several occasions,
sometimes the calf being with several
deer. It is evident that the little ani
mal has been adopted by the deer ot
Great Island and has now become one
of their number. It has become as
shy as a deer and in fact lives and
acts just as they do. Kennebec Jour
nal. Pigeon Post Service.
The only regular pigeon post ser
vice is run between Los Angeles, Cal.,
and the little town of Avalon, on
Catalina Island, during .the summer
months. The celerity with which
these messages are delivered can ody
be beaten by telephone or telegraph.
The air line is fifty miles between the
two places, and most of the pigeons
accomplisli the distance under the
hour. A good revenue is earned yearly
by this source. Small bills pasted
about Avalon announce that "Private
messages and business orders may be
forwarded at any hour of the day, and
in connection with the telephone, tele
graph, and cable lines to any part of
the world."
Sinners and Thistles.
A man was once walking with s
farmer through a beautiful field
when he happened to see a tall this

In a second, over the fence he jump

THE TRICKS
- Coffee Plays on Some.
It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
"When I was a young girl I was a
loyer of coffee, but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and I did, but
after my marriage my husband begged
me to drink it again as he C4d not think
it was the coffee caused the troubles.
"So I commenced It again and con
tinued about G months until my stom
ach commenced acting bad and choking
as if ' I had swallowed something the
size of an egg. One doctor said it was
neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day I took a drive with my hus
band three miles in the country and I
drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I
thought sure I would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. I was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the doctor's office, misery came up
in my. throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all in a
flash and went to my heart. The doc
tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble
and when I got home I was so weak
I could not sit tip.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot
coffee, but I said: 'Take that back,
dear, I will never drink another cup of
coffee if you gave me everything you
ate worth, for it is just killing me.' He
and the others laughed at me and said:
' 'The idea of coffee killing anybody.'
" 'Well,' I said, it is nothing else but
coffee that is doing ft'
- "In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and I made it
for dinner and we both thought bow
good it .was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we iaughed and told
them. Well, we kept on with Postum
and it was not long before the color
came back to my -cheeks and I got
stout and felt as good as I ever did in
my life. I have no more stomach trou
ble and I know I owe it all to Postum
in place of coffee.

about it." Name given by Postum Go.,

TO HULL BEANS.
If Lima or other beans are soaked in
scalding water for a few hours and
later again plunged in it,-their skins
will readily peel off, thus affording a
very dainty and more nutritious 'dish
than if unhulled, for they will not gen
erate flatulency in the stomach. .
BABY'S BATH.
By. the time a baby is running about
he should have a dash of cold water on
his chest and neck at least before. step
ping out of his morning tub. This pro
duces a healthful glow, besides tough
ening him and rendering him far less
liable to catch cold. Indeed, by the
timem baby is two or three months old
his bath should gradually be brought
to tepid instead of the warm water so
generally used, as the latter, in propor
tion to its Warmth, is weakening. New
England Homestead.
GENERAL UTILITY BOX.
Almost any woman can make a "gen
eral utility" box, and then use it for
keeping the baby's wardrobe, or for a
shirt waist or a skirt box and a window
seat. Get a good, strong, close-matched
board box fifteen inches deep, three or
five feet long by two feet wide, with
four, harness hooks and six medmoi
sized hinges. First, pad the Ud so it
will have a rounding effect. Then up
holster with a pretty cretonne, or art
denim, fastening the pleats around the
sides with brass-headed tacks. Line
with cheesecloth. Screw in the har
ness hooks for legs, and fasten on the
lid with the hinges. It can be made a
pretty as well as useful piece of furni
ture. Philadelphia Inquirer.
A USEFUL CLOSET.
The crying neediof the modern wom
an are closets and pockets. The pock
ets wre may get in some future state of
existence, but here is a plan for a
closet which you may have now. As a
general catchall in the nursery, a handy
corner in the kitchen or a clutter closet
in the shod, it fills the bill, and, best of
all, a woman can build it herself, pro
vided she has two arms, a hammer and
lives near a grocery store, Mine is
made from five wooden boxes. They
are put one above another and nailed
together. I covered mine with a strip
of heavy wall paper. Folds of the
same tacked with brass tacks cross
where the boxes join and finish the
edges. A curtain to match as near as
possible is hung on a brass rod. I use
this, closet in my den for papers, books,
magazines, etc. Writer in New Eng

CARE OF SEWING MACHINE.
Not one woman in a thousand knows
that the most faithful of all household
appliances is the sewing machine. And
it is really a sensitive, if inanimate
creature. Were this fact better known
the average sewing machine would
give better service in the family circle.
The up-to-date machine is vastly differ
ent from the one our grandmother
used. Ready to wear garments are re
sponsible for the many attachments,
and manufacturers could not afford to
put out hand work, where at the pres
ent time the machine does all that it is
required to do. , .
Some of these attachments are wor
thy the investigation of households
where much dressmaking is done and
where there is not time for deft fingers
to place innumerable dainty stitches.
But the woman who intends to use
these up-to-date attachments should
take a course in instruction.
A machine which is used every day
should be oiled every day. Occasion
ally it should be lubricated with the
best quality of kerosene. After the
kerosene has been used the machine
should be run rapidly for a few mo
ments, then ordinary machine oil
should be applied.

After-Dinner Relish This may sound
rather mussy, but experience has
proved it to be one of the most palat
able of after-dinner relishes to take the
place of dessert. Serve with the cream
cheese plenty of paprika, Hungarian
sweet pepper. The paprika is mixed
with the cheese and the mixture
spread on slices of tart apple. The
taste for this grows with what it feeds
on, like jealousy, and is as difficult to
abandon after the habit is formed.

sour milk, one of sweet, a little salt,
the yolks of three eggs, a half tea

and allow it to become sufficiently
heated to set the curd. Then strain off
the milk, run the curd through a strain
