Bhell. It all happened up at my town
last fall. There's a widow living there
who has three daughters, very esti
mable young ladies, but, alas, the two
older are exceedingly selfish. They
are both somewhat farther along in
life than the average unmarried wom

I hope I'm too much of a gentleman to
know anything about a lady's age—
but just for the sake of the story we'll

and the other slightly under. The
third daughter I'm willing to come out
boldly and call twenty—we're on safer
ground when we get down in that
neighborhood, you know. And, better
yet, this girl is one of the most un
selfish creatures in the world. She is,
In fact, a most charming girl in every
way, with a pretty face and a quiet,
unassuming manner which never fail 3
to win with its simple charm. If she
has any failing It is that of too great
humility and an inclination to allow
herself to be imposed upon. There is.
I believe, a sort of unwritten law
among women that daughters must
marry in rotation according to age.
"Dorothy was very closely looked
after by her mother and older sis
ters, and little opportunity was ever
given her even remotely to contem
plate the idea of marriage. It was
not until last fall that anything in the
guise of a man was allowed to ap
proach within hailing distance. Then
she was given the privilege of re
ceiving some circumspect calls form a
neighboring young man named Harry
Lambert.
"You must not gather that the older
girls had no attention —far from it.

Now to Use Peruna
for Coughs and Colds
If Peruna were used at the begin
ning of every cold, coughs would gen
erally be prevented.
After the cough begins Peruna will
generally stop it just as quickly as it
ought to be stopped. To stop a cough
before all of the expectoration has
been removed is to do great injury.
After the expectoration has been
properly removed the cough will stop
itself. That is the only proper way
to stop a cough.
Occasionally a cougH depends upon
an irritable condition of the larynx
or bronchia! tubes, in which there is
little or no expectoration^
The problem of stopping such a
cough is a slightly different one.
Even in those cases Peruna ought to
be taken, but sometimes it is neces
sary that local treatment be added.
Every one who has a troublesome
cough or a lingering cold should write
the Peruna Company, Columbus,
Ohio, for a free copy of the "Ills of
Life." There is no free pamphlet dis
tributed to-day of mors real value
to the sick and afflicted than the new
"Ills of Life." It is filled from cover
to cover with actual cases of cough,
colds and other climatic diseases in
all stages and complications. You
could scarcely fail to find your case
exactly described In this book.
To neglect to do everything possible
to get rid of a stubborn cold or
ehronic cough is very unwise indeed.
Peruna has enjoyed a great reputa
tion as a remedy in such case 3 for
thirty or forty years. As a rule, a
person who uses one bottle of it is
always afterwards an enthusiastic
advocate of Peruna. Peruna itself is
a means of selling more Peruna than
all advertisements put together.
Those who object to liquid medi

What Trouble is With old Mexico.
An expression from the point
of view of the Constitutionalists
opposing President Huerta in
Mexico was given at the Clark
University conferer ce on Latin-
America by Luis C? brera, form
er leader of the M xican House
of Represen ative.
Mr. Cabrera's address was the
first of a sei ies which made this
"Mexico Day" at th > conference.
Mr. Cabrtra said:
"The reason fortl e instability
of Mexican conditions is the
absence of a middle cla&s. With
out the middle class there is no
real social equilibriu n, no peace,
and no democratic orm of gov
ernment. The Coi stitutionalist
movement t?nds to* ard the for
mation of a middle c lass through
the creation of fa-orable con
ditions of li e for th masses.
"The colonial pol -ies of Spain
in Mexico c«>ntribut« d largely to
the creation of privi iged classes.
Large tracts of land were grant
ed to soldiers, conqc and to
the church. The incependenceof
Mexico in 1310 did i ot material
