"I am glad to write my endorse•
ment of the greet remedy, Peruna. I
do so most heartily. "—Julia Marlowe.
Any remedy that benefltB digestion
strengthens the nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition.
If the digestion is impaired, the nerve
centers become anemic, and nervous
debility is the result
Peruna Is not a nervine nor a
stimulant. It benefits the nerves
by benefiting digestion.
Peruna frees the stomach of ca-
tarrhal congestions and normal diges-
tion is the result.
In other words, Peruna goes to the
bottom of the whole difficulty, when
the disagreeable symptoms disappear.
Mrs. J. C. Jamison, Wallace, Cal.,
writes:
"I was troubled with my stomach
for six years. Was treated by three
doctors. They said that I had nervous
dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet
for three months.
"I improved under the treatment,
but as soon as I stopped taking the
medicine, I got bad again.
"I saw a testimonial of a man whose
case was similar to mine being cured
by Peruna, so I thought I would give it
a trial.
"I procured a bottle at once and
commenced taking it. I have taken
several bottles and am entirely cured."
AGAIN DECLINED WITH THANKS.
NEWS FROM
OVERTEXAS
Would-Be Contributor "Up Again«t"
the Misanthropic Editor.
The editor looked up as the caller
came forward, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
"Sir," said the latter, "you ob-
jected to the meter of the spring
poem I submitted to you the other
day. Because of this I have for the
present dropped poetry and turned
my attention to the art of the essay-
ist. Here, sir, is a paper on 'Woman
and Her Defects,' which I trust you
will find to your liking."
The editor stared hard at the title
of the essay.
" 'Woman and Her Defects,'" he
repeated. "Are you a married man,
sir?"
"No," replied the caller, "I am not
married."
The editor laughed harshly.
"You should choose subjects," he
said, "with which you have had aa
opportunity to become familiar."
And he handed back the essay ob
"Woman and Her Defects."
LOOKING FOR COMFORT.
"Hurry up, Shorty, an' git a move
on! I wants to make der next town

Grandma's Occupation.
Bobby and Johnny were digging in
the sand under my window. Johnny
says: "My grandma's dead; she's
gone to Heaven; my mother says
so."
"I know it," replies Bobby, In a mat-
ter-of-fact way. "Bobby," says
Johnny, "what do you B'spose she's
doing up there?" Without an in-
stant's hesitation came the reply:
"Oh, standln' up, lookin' round, I
guess."
BUILT UP
Right Food Gives Strength and Brain
Power.
The natural elements of wheat and
barley, including the phosphate of pot-
ash, are found In Grape-Nuts, and that
Is why persons who are run down from
Improper food pick up rapidly on
Grape-Nuts.
"My system was run down by exces-
sive night work," writes a N. Y. man,
"in spite of a liberal supply of ordi-
nary food.
"After using Grape-Nuts I noticed
improvement at once, in strength, and
nerve and brain power.
"This food seemed to lift me up and
stay with me for better exertion, with
less fatigue. My weight increased 20
lbs. with vigor and comfort in propor-
tion.
"When traveling I always carry the
food with me to insure having it."

Curious Indian Custom.
The following curious custom is re-
corded by J. Owen DorBey in his
monograph on the sociology of the
Omaha lndianB:
"In the spring when the grass comes
up there is a council or tribal assem-
bly held to which a feast Is given by
the head of the Ilanga geno. After
they decide that planting time has
come and at command of the Hanga
man a crier Is sent Uirough the vil-
lages. He wears a robe with hair out-
side and cries as he goes. 'They do,
Indeed, say that you will dig the
ground! Hallo!' He carries sacred
corn, which has been shelled and to
each household he gives two or three
grains, which are mixed with the seed
corn of the household."
After this it is lawful for the peo-
ple to dig up the soil and plant their
crops.
They Should.
"My honest conviction, based upon
my own experience and that of my
friends, is that 'Hunt's Cure' will cure
a larger per cent of skin troubles, espe-
cially of an itching variety, than any
other remedy. Certainly those afflict-
ed with any form of itch should try it."
J. O. MOORE,
Atchison, Kan.
How Things Went.
Elliott H. Peabody is one of the
best-known men at the Worcester
county courthouse. At one time he
and a few others were interested In a
business deal which they expected to
put through on a certain day. He
was unable to be there, bo the next
day telephoned to a Mr. H for par-
ticulars. A lady answered the 'phon^,
and said that Mr. H was not at
home. Mr. Peabody,supposing it to be
Mrs. H , said: "Well, perhaps you
can tell me what I want to know. I
only wanted to inquire how things
went last night."
The lady, in a cheerful, reassuring
tone, said: "Oh, nicely! Mrs. H
is doing fine, and the baby weighs six
and a half pounds. I'm the n..rse."—

"Makes It Go Way."
We simply can't do without it. We
are not going to try. When Bobby
stubs or cuts his toe, it's "Ma, Where's
the Lightning Oil?" When Lizzie
burns her hand or arm, it's "Where's
the Lightning Oil?" When little Dick's
been playing with a bumble bee, it's
"Where's the Lightning Oil?" The
echo of all our afflictions Is "Where's
the Lightning Oil?" It's the balm
that makes the pain go way. Sincerely
yours, P. CASSIDY,
Montevallo, Ala.
Using the Telephone.
It was the first time she hnd ever
used a telephone and the drug clerk
detected the fact by the nervous way
in which she held the receiver.
"Dear me," she exclaimed, timidly,
"why are all those sievelike holes In
the mouthpiece?"
"They are there for a purpose," re-
plied the drug clerk, solemnly.
"What purpose?"
"Why, so you can strain your voice."
And she was so embarrassed she
forgot the number she was to cftll up.

STAR
PLUG
CHEWING
TOBACCO
STAR has for years
been the world's leading
brand of plug chewing
tobacco. Statistics show
that about one-fifth of
all the chewers of plug
tobacco chew STAR.
There's a reason for
this enormous and con-
stantly increasing num-
ber of STAR chewers,
and it's just this—
Star Plug has always
been manufactured with
one sole object in view—
to give chewers the best
chew of tobacco it is pos-
sible to produce, yet to
sell this STAR chew at
a moderate price.
More chewers are
learning every day that
STAR, considered from
the standpoint of true
merit, has no competitor,
and is the one best chew.
For a long time there
was a prejudice (which
probably still exists)
among certain chewers
against the use of what is
generally termed "Navy
Tobacco,"becauseof the
impression that all to-
bacco of that character
is too sweet.
It is true that some
brands of tobacco, similar
in appearance to STAR,
are too sweet to please
chewers accustomed to
the use of tobacco manu-
factured in thin plugs,
but we know that STAR
is right in every way.
You use tobacco for
the pleasure it gives —
increase your
pleasure by chew-
ing STAR!
