COLDS
An up-.to-date remedy Tor
Isolds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
30 years.
Colds are caught in many
ways: Illy ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; offices illy
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
5s once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

4-low Many Are “Several?”
How many persons does “a hun
dred" mean in the expression: “]
talked with a hundred persons about
St?” That question came up in con
versation the other day. A man whc
used it finally counted up five per
sons that he had talked to. In a coun
proceeding several years ago a wit
ness claimed to have talked to i
couple of thousand persons in som<
sparsely settled western county. Tin
other side produced census figures to
show there weren’t a thousand per-
sons in the wrhole county. In ordinary
conversation “a hundred” usually
means five or less, “Several” may
mean as high as two. But one will
often answer.
Napoleon’s Victory at Brienne.
One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army of the allies at Brienne,
a village in northeastern France, and
was victorious after a keenly-contested
battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before, prepared to
make a la3t desperate effort to halt
the advance of the enemy on the
French capital and thereby save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
-asid Prussian armies were in command,
of Marshal Blucher. Napoleon’s forces
were in a deplorable condition. At
-Brienne, it is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies of courage, in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontented and
many of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to
the fact that he came up to Blucher
tvhen the latter was separated from
a part of his forces. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, in command of the Austrian
forces, immediately set out for the
purpose of supporting the Prussians,
and the combined armies of the al-
lies recommenced thei? advance on
Paris.

wretch that dares defy its mandates.
All early caucuses of the convention
had determined the frock coat must
go and that the cutaway was to take
its place.
But threats of bolting on the part
of the Washington tailors forced the
fashion committee to surrender.
Washington claims the distinction
of having the greatest per capita total
of frock coats outside of Terre Haute
—although why Terre Haute should be excepted no one knows. The commit-
tee wrote the following vindication into its announcement:
“We wish to emphasize that the double-breasted frock coat Is by no means
relegated to the background. While the three-button cutaway just at this
time is the most popular garment, the frock coat is worn by the highest
officials of our nation, and this Itself maintains the dignity of this garment.”
The saving clause, however, was put in, it seems, only for the benefit of
frock coats already in existence.
As to the sack coat, the committee condemns narrow shoulders, but in-
gists on a tight waist, and for those who dare it suggests that narrow' braid be
worn.-
Then there are about a thousand words concerning “close contours,"
“high waist lines,” "little dips,” “waistcoat exposures,” "crescent pocket lines-'
and a lot of other things that only Jimham Lewis could understand.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson’s Ideas on Dress Making
RWRS. WOODROW WILSON, wife of the president, Is getting a whole lot of
ItI support from women returning from abroad for her Ideas of home dress
making. It is said by fashionable modistes in Ruo de la Paix. Rue Taitbout
and Place Vendome that they are .—---—
practically facing ruin, in that they ^ ^
are not able to keep their styles ex-
elusive. Our American women have AtkvSLvL AflEBlCAfl
been in the habit of going to Paris TOO NUCM
for their swell society gowns, which %/) ZEE WHAT
they buy as exclusive, and for which -
they pay a fancy price and high duty. 1 AMOR
They get them over here, only to find p/ypR ,
that there are women here who have 7/ \PlT 1 3i,,
worn a fac-simile of their gowns for llicSv-ni v
weeks before they get back, and they
have about concluded that the American modiste Is Just as artistic and deco-
rative in their designs as any French modiste dare be. Mrs. Wilson, as the
wife of the governor of New Jersey, stated that she could dress on less than
$1,000 a year, and she Is doing It to her own satisfaction, if not to that of the
high-priced foreign modistes. She selects her own silks, satins and laces and
has them constructed almost under her own eye, many of her little gown3 be-
ing made at the White House. A representative of a world-famous dres3
maker in Rue Taitbout. most of whose customers are Americans, said that
unless it should prove possible to copyright not only designs of gowns, but also
of trimmings and combinations of colors, he would’ shortly have to give up his
present business and go in for wholesale manufacture.
A.D.
THAT MUST
BE THE
TRADE MARK
TH’ CONTRACTOR
puts on
IS
Thought Roman Numerals Latin for Uncle Sam
rJ,HIRD ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY NEWTON is a
1 true-blue American. The figures 1, 2, 3 look better to him than the so-
called Roman numerals. He has issued an order that hereafter the date of
erection of public buildings shall be
put in figures instead of Roman
numerals. Secretary Newton says:
“Even persons of average educa-
tion, being unaccustomed to the Ro-
man numerals frequently find con-
siderable difficulty in determining
from the lettering on the public
building just when it was erected. To
many the Roman numerals mean no
, more than do the emblems of the
Masonic Order to a person outside of
that Order. So infrequently are the Roman characters now used that many
persons of intelligence in this country believe that the customary date on
public buildings are marks placed there by the engineers.
“The misinformation in this matter was recently illustrated when a party
of tourists stood gazing at one ol’ the show buildings in Washington. One
man in the party, pointing to the Roman numerals high up over the door, said:
“ ’What the deuce does that MCXVI business mean up there?’
“ ‘What,’ said auother, ‘don’t you know? That’s a mark the contractor
puts on. It’s his trademark.’
“‘You’re wrong, there, Bill,’ exclaimed a third member of the party.
That’s a sign put there by the government. It’s Latin for Uncle Sam.’ ”
Keeping Tab on Things That Are Worth Studying
DON’T like to ask you, but will you please give me change for a cup of
1 tea? I haven’t any money with me, and I’m bo weak I can’t go on.”
The woman who asked might have stepped out of dear old grand-
mother’s chair by the chimney corner.
Except that there are no chimney cor-
ners these days, and precious few old
grandmothers.
The woman who responded was Just
a so-so person who hurried on. And
then felt ashamed of herself for not
taking the little old dame Into a cafe
and seeing her safe home. You have
to do a thing like that once in awhile
to feel that you were worth the Lord’a
creating. So she turned back to atone
and had almost elbowed her way through the noon rush to the old woman,
when again she heard the quavering appeal:
“I don’t like to ask you, but will you please give me change for a cup of
tea? I haven’t any money with me, and I’m so weak I can’t go on.’*
As a thing like that is worth studying, the bo-so woman stood by, and kept
tab. After eight women and an earth-darthy young man had paid tribute, the
old woman rested tip long enough to turn around. Then she suddenly made
for the corner. Obviously, ashe didn’t like the appearance of the woman who
was looking on. Some don’t.
Begging is against the law, of course, but what are you going to do
wiien an aged lady strikes you for a cup of tea? Remembering that cup of

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lyd;a E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
*1 he niany testimonial letters that we are continually pub-
lishing in the newspapers—hundreds of them—are all genu-
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, ISF.J.—“1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good- I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband.”—Mrs. Tilled
WATEKS, 1135 Knight St., Camden, N.J.
And this»one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utica, Okla.—“ I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet. I had backache, headache, palpi-
tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Since
taking the Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi-
cine and I have recommended it to others.”—Mrs. Mary Ann Had-
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe-
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa-
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take a Glass of Salts Before Break-
fast if Your Ba^k Is Hurting or
Bladder Is Irritated.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat It, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author-
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid-
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains In the hack or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather Is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and Irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body’s urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous Balts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so It no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive; cannot in-
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
