Peruna is a specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is a
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affection^. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal

Morals of the Child.
The moral development of the
child begins almost as soon as its
mental, and the two march hand
in hand. The home is the place
where correct moral principles
should *bd first instilled in the
mind of the child, and neglect of
this may mean endless suffering
for parents and child. Too often
this is left to the servants, rela
tives, or the teacher later. The
parent who can neglect this side
of the child’s development, and
trust it to somebody else, is not
worthy of the responsibility that
has been conferred upon her.
The neglect is not altogether in
tentional but more often due to
lack of energy and forethought.
The woTk does not begin early
enough, and the little mind gets
warped before the lessons are
taught.—March Woman’s Home
Companion.
Pure Air.? ; \
I wonder how many housekeep
ers know that the air of their
rooms in winter is often laden
with poisonous vapors. Decaying
vegetable! in the pel lar, old flaw-
era in stagnant water, (Somebody’s
neglected garbage-pail, even a bad
ly ventilated room—"all of these
are responsible for unhappiness,
peevishness and sickness. Rooms
may be warm and pure.. The cold
room is hot always the well-venti-
lated one. Attention to the air
we breathe is quite as necessary
as the food we eat.—March Wo
man’s Home Companion.

Push, But Don’t Shove.
The advertising merchaut is the
one who does the business m these
days of push and enterprise.
There are more newspaper readers
today than ever before in the his
tory of the !rorld. The newspaper
places your business under the
eye of the buyer. He seeB what
he wants, and knowing where to
find it, looks up the wide awake
who asked him to come and see
him. Success io these days* of
sharp competition calls for eter
nal vigilance. You can’t keep a
hustler down. Push, but don’t
shove. Get a move on you, but
don’t kick. Tell the truth, be
honest, and use the Georgia
Cracker, and success will make
How Sankey Composes His
Hymns.
As he sings, so Mr. Sankey com
poses the tunes for his hymns in
spired by the feeling of the mo
ment. Often he will* stop sud
denly m the midst of reading or
talking to jot down on the ever-
ready music-paper some bit of
melody that comes to him. These
jottings he gathers together and
develops at his leisure, sometimes
.fitting them to poems preserved
in his scrapbook, sometimes get
ting Fannie Crosby or another
hymn-writer to write words espe
cially for his music. . He once
said; “Good words will soon at
tract a good tune.” He^ believes
in melody always over harmony
as a power to move people.

Education The Hone of The South.
On education the hope of the
South must rest. Education is
means also the. broadening and
strengthening of character—^that
is the production of men, the
word being used in its best sense.
If Thomas Jefferson, the great
democratic statesman, were alive
to-day, he might well say, as he
did in the early days of the re
public, “Above all things I hope
the education of the common peo
ple will be attended to.” There
is no other way to power, pros
per ity and progress.
