[Nervousness is very common among romen. This condition is due to anemic srye centers. The nerve centers are reservoirs of nervous vitality. nese centers become bloodless for want proper nutrition. This is especially ie in the spring season. Every spring nost of invalids are produced as the brect result of weak nerves. This could be easily obviated by the se of Pernna. Peruna strikes at the )ot of the difficulty,by correcting the Lgeation.$ Digestion furnishes nutri tion for the nerve centers. Properly digested food furnishes these reservoirs of life with vitality which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nour ishes life. Peruna is in great favor among wo men, especially those who have voca tions that are trying to the nervous sys tem. Peruna furnishes the lasting in- vigoration for the nerves that such people so much need. Thousands of tes timonials from women in all parts of the United States are being received every year. Such unsolicited evidence snrely proves that Pernna is without an equal as a nerve tonic and vital invigorator. Buy a bottle of Peruna to-day. If you do not receive all the bene fits from Peruna that you ex pected, write to Dr. Hartman, Co lumbus, Ohio. ALL HAD GOOD TIME.

Harry Furniss tells a good story of a distmgushed but irri table / Scotch lecturer* The gentleman had occasion to speak id a small town in one of the Low land counties, and it chanced that he met with a' more than usually loquacious chairman. This genius actually spoke < for a whole hour in “introducing” the lecturer. He wound up by saying, “It is unnecessary fo* me to say more, but call upon the talented gentleman who has come so far to give us his address to-night.” The lecturer came forward. “You want my address? I’ll give it to you. 322 Rob Roy Crescent, Edinbrough-and I’m just off there now. Good-night!”—May Woman’s Home Companion, As True As Gospel. Tell the truth and let others tell what they will. You are responsible for but one tongue, wisest and.the best is wiser and better for the friends he has. The person who spends his time in hunting^down lies will have no leisure for the pursuit of truth. Still fight resolutely on, know ing that in this spiritual combat none is overcome but him who ceases .to struggle and to trust m God. The heart is always hungry. No man lives happily alone. The The trank confession of a fault emphasizes to ourselves the neces sity of overcoming it, and exerts a strong force in that direction. Patience and strength are what we need; an earnest use of what we have now; and all the time an earnest discontent until we come to what we ought to be. Habit is mighty force, and must either tend toward that which is good or that which is evil. It rests with us whether it shall be one of our. best friends or one of our worst ememies.
