DESTROYING HER LIFE.
PE-RU-NA SAVED HER.
Miss Maria Ducharme, 182 St. Elizabeth
street, Montreal Can., writes:
"I am satisfied that thousands of women
suffer because they do 'not realize how bad
they really need treatment and feel a
natural delicacy in consulting a physician.
"I felt badly for years, had terrible pains,
and at times was" unable to" attend to my
daily duties. I tried to cure myself, but
finally my attention was caused to an ad
vertisement of Penma in a similar case to
mine, and I decided to give it a trial.
"Afy improvement began as soon as
I started to use Peruna and soon 1
was a well woman. 1 feel that I owe
my life and my health to your won
derful medicine and gratefully ac
knowledge this fact. "Maria Duch

For Systematic Scientific Research
Prof. Pearson, the English scientist,
has been considering the suggestion
of Prof. Simon Newcomb looking tc
the systematization of scientific re
search by organizing investigators intc
what might be termed battalions. ;Dr.
Pearson says that what science needs
at present is to get rid of most of its
data and investigators with brains
enough M) interpret what is . left. " A1
least 50 per' cent of the observations
made and the data collected," says
Prof. Pearson, "is worthless, and nc
man', however able, could deduce any
result from them at all. In engineer's
language, we jieed to 'scrap-heap1
about 50 per cent of the products oj
nineteenth century science."

Shoe Lacer for Fat People.
Mrs. Elizabeth Falconer of Louis
eille, Ky., has just perfected an in
vention which promises to revolution
ize the lacing of shoes by fat people.
The invention enables men or wom
en to lace their shoes without stoop
ing, and although it was-not invented
primarily for, tat men there are no
fat women it will be utilized as
much by them as by the aged and in
firm, for whose comfort it was
brought into the world. The inven
tion is simple. One lace string is per
manent in positon, and pulling the top
of it. laces the shoes. Pulling the bot
tom string loosens the shoe.
Effectiye Smoke Consumer.
What is said to have proved an ef
fective smoke consumer has been tried
in London. The invention comprises
a screen of tubular fire bricks, made
of special material built up in the fur
nace ..in such a position that all the
products of the fire pass through the
screen. The latter quickly becomes
incandescent, and "flashes" the gases
as they pass through, thus preventing
the formation of carbon.
Does His Duty Without Fear.
Francis I. Henry, the special United
States district attorney who broughl
Senator Mitchell and others to indict !

a record for absolute integrity. In his i
early days he practiced law in Ari
zona. A woman came to him for heir,
in securing a divorce on accoun.tj o
her husband's cruelty, but assured tiire
that her husband threatened to kili
eny lawyer who would take up his
wife's case. "Oh, that is a matter thai
will come up later," said Henry calm
ly. He got the woman her divorce anc
next day met the former husband ir
the street. The latter took a revolvei
out of his pocket, whereupon Henry,
being quicker "on the draw," shot the
man dead.

FEED YOU MONEY
Feed Tour Brain, and It Will Feed You
Money and Fame.
It is a fact that when the city, man
and boy take a vacation from their
toil and the city woman and girl
from their home duties they gener
ally want to take what Dr.' Adler
calls an ethical vacation, too. The
country people know and feel this
and some of their most conscientious
people resent it, declares the New
York Mail. They object that city
people, let loose in the country, do
things which they "would not do at
home.' Hatless and coatless, city

Would Have Divorce Cases Private
A member of the British parliamenl
has announced that he intends to in
troduce a bill making radical altera
tion of the procedure in. divorce cases
The chief feature will provide" thai
such proceedings shall no longer b
held in public. He holds that the pub
lic does riot benefit materially by hav
ing details of divorce cases published
In the newspapers, and that, on th
jother hand, public morality loses f
good deal.
"Ever since boyhood I have been
especially fond of meats, and I ara con
vinced I ate too iapidly, and failed to
masticate'my food properly.
"The result was that I found myself,
a few years 2go, afflicted with ailments
of the stomach and kidneys, which in
terfered seriously with my business.
"At last I took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of
the heavy meats, etc., that had consti
tuted my former diet.
"I found that I was at once benefited
by the change, that I was soon relieved
from the heart-burn and the indigestion
that used to foflow my meals, that the
pains in my back from my kidney af
fection had ceased, showing that those
organs had been healed, and that my
nerves, which used to be unsteady, and
my brain, which was slow and lethargic
from a heavy diet of meats and greasy
foods, had, not in a moment, but grad
ually, and none the less surely, been
restored to normal efficiency. Now
every nerve Is steady and my brain
and thinking faculties are quicker and
more acute than for years past.
"After my old style breakfasts I used
to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hindered me
seriously in my work, but since I
have begun to use Grape-Nuts food I
can work till dinner time with all ease
and comfort." Name given by Fostum

A DRAUGHT DETECTOR.
How many times in the week do you
hear your parents say: "I believe I feel
a draught?" Doubtless a great many,
and then there is always an argument
KNITTING
NEEDLE-
PLAN OF CONSTKTJCTION.
as to where the draught comes from,
is there not? And sometimes it is not
a draught at all, but just imagination.
Still, it is a very simple matter to
make a little instrument which will
find the draught if there is one and
besides show you pretty nearly where
it comes from.
Get a knitting needle, three large
corks and four small ones, eight hair
pins, four bits- of cardboard, and an
ordinary button. The diagram shows
you so plainly how to put them to
gether that there is no use describing
how it is done. The top cork is the
only thing which is not perfectly sim
ple. Make a hole all the way through the
top cork from top to bottom. A hair
pin will answer to drill this hole with.
Now make two or three more holes
beside this first one and very near it.
Run your hairpin briskly through
these holes until ' theirsidsis are worn
away and then form one hole. Now
run a small tube of macaroni or a
quill -toothpick through the hole. This
is so that the knitting needle which
pierces the top cork and acts as a
pivot for it to turn upon will have a
loose socket and will permit the cork
to move easily.
When any one says "draught"; get
out this little draught finder, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and put near
the place where the draught is sup
posed to oonie from. The slightest
breath of air will set the sails in mo
tion and the direction in which thpy
move will indicate pretty clearly where
the current of air comes fi'om.

a show recently and soon after the cur

thing out of his pocket and whispered.
"Put this tablet in your mouth." She
quickly placed it under her tongue, but
it would not dissolve. However, she
soon felt much better. When the show
was over she slipped the tablet into
her glove. When she removed the
glove at home she found the tablet
was a button. Kansas City Journal.
New York City. Late spring and
early summer always bring a demand
for pretty dresses suited to commence
ment day, and here is one that is
charming in the extreme, yet quite sim
ple. In the illustration it is shown
with the - half low neck and elbow
sleeves that are so pretty and so fash
ionable, but it can be made high and
with long sleeves if preferred. It
would be effective made from alba-
can be opened, panels of velvet, silk or
of another material with lines of braid
may be inserted, and the required
width may thus be obtained quite
easily. Although the newest models
of skirts are much fuller around the
hips, there are two or three exceedingly
attractive designs with comparatively
little fulness; the latter being given by
the sweeping flounce. A last year's
plain skirt may be renovated and made
up to date by pleats narrow at the top
and gradually widening out towards
the foot, and with narrow side pleats
between and above the side-pleating
bands of braid. Harper's Bazar.
Faci Shine 1 Eton.
The shirred Eton is one of the best
liked of the season for the fashionable
soft materials, and is always graceful
and attractive worn by the women to
whom it is suited. This one includes
the new belt, which is shaped to give
the waistcoat effect, and is exception
ally desirable. , In-the case of the mod
el the material is pearl gray chiffon
veiling, with banding that shows bits
of Oriental embroidery, the color con
trast being a most effective one. It is,.
however, adapted ,to almost all season
able materials, while the possibilities
of variation are very nearly number-,
less. Id this instance the belt is of taf
feta in the same shade, but it can be
of any ' contrasting material and the
trimming any banding applied, either
after the manner suggested or on
straight lines as may be liked. The
sleeves are the new ones that are full,
gathered into puffs and finished with
becoming cuffs at the wrists-.

The dress is an exceptionally grace
ful one, and is adapted to general wear
as well as to the special occasions men
tioned. The waist is full below the

breadth to the figure. The skirt is
made in three pieces., the front gore,

are among the latest models (or the

dresses are still holding their own in
popularity, being suited tomany fab

The long-waisted effect given by the
belt being pushed down and held in
place by straps is very desirable. Many
combinations are seen.
