STANDS OFF ALOT OF DOCTOR BILLS
Recommends Pem-na for Catarrh of the Stomach,
Colds and Crip
“I have need Pe-rn-na for several years and can heartily re¬
commend for catarrh of the su>mach or entire system. I al
ways get benefit from It for colds and grip. It eta nils off lots
of doctor bills and malies one feel like a new£®”°^ UTTLE g
R. F. D. No. 8, Box 51, Waynesbnrg, Kentucky.
It is wise to keep a bottle of Pe-ru-na in the house for
emergencies. Coughs and colds may usually be relieved by
lew doses of Pe-ru-na taken in time. Nasal catarrh, indi
estion, constipation, diarrhoea, rheumatism or other troubles
due to a catarrhal condition of tho mucous membranes
all call for Pe-ru-na as the successful treatment. The
health building, s trength restoring flualities of this well
known remedy are especial 1 ^ marked after a protracted
sickness, the grip or Spanish Plu.
PE-RU-NA is justly proud of its record of fifty years
as health protector for the whole family.

Powerful Wireless Station.
The greatest wireless station in the
world is soon to rise near New York
city. It is known as a five-way sta¬
tion. In other words, it will transmit
and receive long-distance wireless mes¬
sages In five directions at the same
time. The great masts which raise
the antennae to the skies will be 650
feet in height or 100 feet higher than
the Washington monument. Messages
will be transmitted at once to England
and centfal Europe, to South America
and south seas and to the Pacific/ coast
and Japan. The station will be capa¬
ble of sending 500 words and receiving
500 words every minute. . Messages
may be sent from the great station for
10.000 miles. The power of the send¬
ing apparatus will lie so great that the
radio messages will penetrate the most
difficult weather and static conditions
for thousands of miles. It is estimat¬
ed that the cost of building such a sta¬
tion will be only about one-tenth as
much as to lay cables under the At¬
lantic or Pacific oceans.—Boys’ Life.
Following Doctor's Orders.
Speaking of jazz music, which with¬
out doubt has a strong appeal to the
American public, a writer in Along
Broadway tells of a doctor in New
York who believes it helps keep his
waiting patients in a cheerful frame
of mind. This physician said:
“I’ve watched the crowds in my
waiting room and it is most remark¬
able how music affects them. I’ve seen
ten or a dozen people sitting in the
room all staring at the floor or out of
the window and getting more morose
every minute, when suddenly my
daughters would start singing and
playing. Almost immediately the at¬
mosphere of the waiting room changes
from gloom to Joy. My daughters are
instructed to play only the latest airs
including jazz—and the jazzier the
better.”

Most Pecp e Nave an Aversion to
Seeking It.
Not That They Have Any Objection
to Slumber in Itself, but That
They Reject the Abject Sur¬
render Involved.
One of the characters in “The Moon
and Sixpence” remarked that he had
faithfully lived up to the old precept
about doing every day . two things
you heartily dislike; for, said he, every
day he had got up and he had gone
to bed.
It is a sad thing that as soon as the
hands of the clock have turned ten the
shadow of going to bed begins to creep
over the evening. We have never
heard bedgoing spoken of with any
enthusiasm. One after another we
have seen a gathering disperse, each
person saying (with an air of solemn
resignation): “Well, I guess I’ll go to
bed.” . But there was no hilarity
about it. It is really rather touching
how they cling to the departing skirts
of the day that is vanishing under the
spinning shadow of nigl^t.
This is odd, we repeat, for sleep is
highly popular among human beings.
The reluctance to go to one’s couch is
not at all a reluctance to slumber, for
almost all of us will doze happily in
an armchair or on a sofa, or even fes¬
tooned on the floor with a couple of
cushions. But the actual and formal
yielding to sheets and blankets is to
be postponed to the last possible mo¬
ment.
The devil of drowsiness is most po¬
tent, we find, about 10:30 p. m. At
this period the human carcass seems
to consider that it has finished its
cycle, which began with so much cour¬
age about 16 hours before. It be¬
gins to slack and the mind halts on
a dead center every now and then, re¬
fusing to complete the revolution.
Now, there are those who hold that
this is certainly the seemly and ap¬
pointed time to go to bed, and they
do so as a matter of routine.
These are, commonly, the happier
creatures, for they t^ike the tide of
sleep at the flood and are borne calmly
ami with gracious gentleness out to
great waters of nothingness. They
push off from the wharf on a tranquil
current, anil nothing more is to be
seen or heard of these voyagers until
they reappear at the breakfast table,
digging lustily into the grapefruit..
These people are happy, aye, in a
hrutisli and sedentary fashion, but they
miss the admirable adventures of
those more embittered wrestlers who
will not give in without a struggle.
These latter suffer severe pangs be¬
tween 10:30 and about 11:15, while
they grapple with their failing facul¬
ties and seel£ to re-establish the will
cn its tottering throne.
This requires courage, stout valor
unbending. Once you yield, he It ever
so # little to the tempter, you are lost.
And here our poor bard’s clay plays
us false, undermining the intellect
with many a trick and wile. “I will
sit down for a season In that c6m
fortable chair,” the creature says to
himself, “and read this sprightly
novel. That will ease my mind and
put me in humor for a continuance
of lively thinking.”
And the end of that man is a steady
nazal buzz from the bottom of the
chair, where he has collapsed, an un¬
sightly object and a disgrace to hu¬
manity. This also means a big bill
from the electric light company at
the end of the month. In many such
ways will his corpus betray him, lead¬
ing him by plausible self-deceptions
into a pitfall of sleep, whence he is
aroused about three a. m., when the
planet turns over on the other side.

Tennyson Home on Market.
Aldworth on Blackdown, Tennyson’s
home for many years, has been placed
on the market. The property of the
former poet laureate of England is
near Haslemere in the wild Surrey
country and stands by a long avenue
of scrub oak along which Cromwell
and his army are said to have marched
from Arundel castle.
Aldworth was built in 1868 and on
April 23, when the first stone was laid,
the poet’s wife made the following en¬
try in her diary:
“Shakespeare’s birthday. A. in ex¬
cellent spirits, he was pleased with
the Inscription on the stone: ‘Prosper
Thou the works of our hands, O pros¬
per Thou our handiwork.’ ”
Here in t^ie shade of the ancient
trees Tennyson took his morning
walks, clad in his great black coat and
his famous sombrero hat, which em¬
phasized his long bearded face. T. P.
O’Connor once remarked that it was
the best make-up for a poet that he
had ever seen on or off the stage.
Maine Rich in Tourmalines.
Nowhere Is there such a wealth of
tourmalines as In the state of Maine,
according to a recent statement on the
development of the resources of that
state. At Mount Mica, in the town of
Paris, it says, is a deposit of red and
green tourmaline unequaled elsewhere.
They are, it would seem, almost in¬
exhaustible in quantity, of rare beau¬
ty, and when cut into gems are in
good demand, many finding their way

Women’s Costumes in 1817, De*
cidediy Startling.
Eastern Journal Expresses Some Ap*
prehension Whether There Is to B#
a Return to the Frankly Reveal- J
ing Style of Dress.
The history of clothing, It Is said,
like all other histories, has a tenden¬
cy to repetition, and if this be the
case we can look forward to soma
startling patterns. Can It be that
women will again dress as in the days
immediately following the terror of
1795?
To quote Modes and Manners of
the Nineteenth Century:
“The train was quite done away*
with, cut round at the bottom, leaving
the feet free, in 1808, and only reach¬
ing to the ankles in 1810. The dress,
as it were, moved upward. The ethe¬
real nymphs and goddesses had dis¬
appeared, giving place to grotesquely
clothed figures, more like manikins
than human beings. This tasteless
style of costume reached its height
in Vienna in 1817, when the dress,
now entirely without bodice, fell half
way down the legs only, being cut
out at the bottom and allowing a good
length of lace drawer to be seen be¬
fore it ended in an embroidered boot.”
In those days, the chronicler tells
us, the “English” was soon more cor¬
rectly designated the “naked” fash¬
ion. Not only did corsets and petti¬
coats disappear but additional gar¬
ments were also discarded—the lady
of society wore rings on her bare feet,
while silk tights and transparent
chemise composed the remainder of
her costume.
The more fashionable women
strove as to which of them should
put on the least clothing. No one
spoke of any one as “well dressed”
but as “well undressed,” and it be¬
came an amusement in society to
weigh a woman’s garments; her
whole clothing, including shoes and
ornaments, was not allowed in 1800
to weight over eight ounces. Mme.
Haiyelin, the beautiful wife of a rich
Swiss banker, went the length of
walking in the garden of the Tuil
eries clad only in a gauze veil until
the obtrusive behavior of the public
obliged her to return home.
In 180\ a woman in Hanover laid a
wager that she would walk through
the streets dressed only in a chemise
and a neckerchief without exciting
any particular attention—and she won
her bet easily.
Decent or indecent, becoming or un¬
becoming, the fashion was too new
and surprising not to excite lively
criticisTn. In 1794 a Berlin critic,
writing of the actress Burabius, ac¬
cused her of returning to the habits
of the uncivilized world, of offending
morality and decency and, Indeed, of
awakening disgust—and this merely
because she ventured to appear on
the stage with bare arms—and the
following years the “unclothed” style
became the general fashion.—New
York Times.
