HAD THROAT TROUBLE SINCE CHILDHOOD AlTreatmentsMFaled Relieved by Peru.m Mrs. Wi. Hoh mann, 2764 Lincoln Ave., Chicago, Il., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the bron chial tubes and had a terrible cough ever since a child. "I would sit up In bed with pillows propped up behind me, but still the cough would-not let me sleep. I thought . and everybody else that Ihad consumP tion. "So reading the papers about Pe runa i decided to try,,without the least bit of hope that it would do me any Mrs. Hohmann. good. But after tak Ing three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never discouraged. Finally I seemed not to cough so much and the pains In my chest got better and I could rest at night "I am well now and cured of a chronic cough and sore throat. I cannot tell you how grateful I am, and I- cannot thank Peruna' enough. It has cured -where doctors have failed and I talk Peruna wherever I go, recommend it to everybody. ~ People who think they have consumption better give It a OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL Pretty Safe to Say That Doctor's Diagnosis Was "Away Off" In This Case. The pretty daughter of a physician Is engaged to a college student of whom her father does not altogether approve. His daughter is too young .to think of' marriage, the doctor as serts; the college student is too young to think of it, likewise. It is out of the question. She explained all this to her lover the other night. "Father says," she summed it up; "father says, dear, that I will have to give you up." The young man sighed. ."Then It's -all over?" he murmured, with gloomy ?interrogation. And the girl laughed .and blushed. *"Well," she said, "well, you-you -to that when the doctor gives you - up that's just the time for you to take more' hope. Isn't It sometimes that wiay?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald. As It Appeared in Print. Benator Newlands of Nevada was soaring in debate one day, soaring so -high he "hit the ceiling." He realized he was getting a trifle fowery and to excuse himself said: "Indeed, Mr. President, perfervid oratory may be pardoned, for this 'subject furnishes * all the food eloquence needs." That sounded pretty good to Mr. Newlands, but he was a bit abashed -when he read In the Congressional ' It.,. ecord next day that he asserted his I "opic-"furnished all the food elephants -neesi." * Very Tortubus Indeed. Th~e late Hugh 1. Grant of New York once talked atxa political ban quet, about a noted corporation law yer. "Oh, yes, he's a grand mind," he said. "A grand legal mind. He's got the most tortuous mind in America." Mr. Grant shook his head. "A tortuous mind indeed," he re peated. "Why, If he swallowed a nail, he'd bring up a screw." RESULTS OF FOOD. Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropri ate place. .A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A Well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-opera tion which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being In a condition of nervous exhaustion, [ resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire break fast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like It extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuits has ccntributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings 'of gratitude that I write this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of aiding others in their search for health." Name giver by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

BRAVE JEW AS HIS COMRADE Young American Says He Was Con fined In a jail Which Was Half Filled With Government Explo sives-A Colonel at 26. Boston.-Col. William P. Pittman, here visiting relatives, told how he worked a gatling gun for the Estrada forces, and lay four months in Nica raguan dungeons when'he was cap tured as the ragged colonel of a rag ged squad. Col. Pittman smilingly de clared as he looked down from his altitude of six feet two inches at his interviewer that he was entitled to the military prefix that is claimed by most Kentuckians and that he got t by order of the last batch of Nicara quan revolutionists that won out and have recently made Juan Estrada pro visional president of the republic. Col. Pittman is from Cambridge, Mass., and isqan electrical engineer. He had been working on the Panama canal and had struck up a friendship with Carlos Charmorro, brother of the leader of the. revolutionary forces, Gen. Emiliana Charmorro. Salvador Charmorro, father of the General, had a store in Panama City and it was through the storekeeper, who was also a friend of the young American (a colonel at 26), that Pitt man negotiated to join a force of rev M he.

The colonel was in rags, as sud% of the other revolutionists were that had any clothing at alb. He was marched miles along a sandy beach, sometismnes wading in water knee deep, carrymng most of the time one end of a pole' in the middle of which was a heavy l'OX containing silver coin to pay the MAd riz army in that section. At th~ other end of the pole was a ColombIan uegro. The colonel said it was very "tough going" and that when it was over and he was finally put into a narrow cell at Castillo on the San Juan river he still had a sore shoulder. The colo nel was in a bad-smelling and narrow cell, mostly with a Jamaican negro as a cellmate. At last through the Interposition of the state department, represented at Managua by the American Consul Jose de .Olivares, he was decently :reated and finally liberated when Madriz's party got the worst of It. Jose de Olivares supplied him with food fit to eat In the latter days of his Imprisonment. There were 600 prisoners in the Ma .agua jail, one side of which was stored with ammunition, and the com mandant of the jail said he would blow up everybody when the revolu tionists got control. The foreign con suls at Managua all entered protest against the proposed explosion. The guards got away when the revolution .sts' cause seined certain to triumph, and all the 600 prisoners broke thcir cells and escaped. Freezes Feet; Lockjaw Kills.

Fashion does not date her decrees from Lon don, and we may, therefore, be per mitted to doubt the authenticity of the item. The picture shows how a stiletto is worn in the garter-a cus tom followed, perhaps, in Imitation of that of the women of Lombardy during the Austrian occupation. Be ware, then, lest calf love turn to calf hate! There are several reasons why the hatpin will never give way to a stilet to held in the place mentioned. For readiness, accessibility, and cheap ness the hatpin exceeds all other weapons to woman's hand.

SCHI "I'm afraid it's all of no use, Jack. I c ar," said Edna Vane. Papa simply o ill not appreciate you. Why," indig Intly, "he actually called you a 'jack tl all Trades' the other day!" - Jack Farrows burst into a hearty o ugh. "That's what a poor fellow gets m ir not being lucky enough to possess c millionaire uncle, or a friend to put ii Im wise on the stock exchange," he ji id merrily. Then more seriously he t Ided: "I would make good though, if b 1ly I could get the chance. Could I s, lp it that Smyers & Rickets went to p nash, or that Jedson & Keith moved d another city? Yet both times when was thrown out of a job your father a emed to blame me for it. But, never f ind. I'll win him over yet; wait and a e if I don't!" s "There's only one way you can do s at, Jack, dear," said Edna thought- r L11y. "Papa always takes a liking to a ie person who can get the best of t m. But the only way you can possi y succeed in that would be to get k m excited, and then close the deal c ithout giving him a moment to tlir-k j over; for daddy never makes a mis Lke after considering a thing. Why, ie newspapers actually called him a -izard' the other day, just think of .at," she ended, proudly. t "Um! Welr, I'll put on my think g cap, and set to work. I'd better go >w, I supposf, before he starts to ind the alam clock. Good-night, ar. Don't be discouraged; we'll find way out of this somehow." 0 A few evenings later, Edna sat op- r site her father in the library, vainly ideavoring to fix her thoughts upon ie book she held in her hands. She Kpected Farrows that evening, but he had also expected her father to ave town on business that very after yon, and at the last moment he had ecided to postpone the trip. She f arted nerv, usly as the sound of the I ell pealed through the house. A few oments later, Roberts, an old gray- I irea servant who served in the ca- 8 acity of butler, entered the room and anded her Farrows' card. "Who is it?" asked her father, test y, frowning at the card over the edge I f his paper. "Who-that Farrows 1 ha' again? It's about time you gave a t J' Endeavored to Control Himself. 1 i his walking papers, Edna. He's ot no push or backbone; don't stick anything, and will never be rich in1 Is life. Send the fellow about his usiness." "But I will have to see him this..eve- 1 ing, papa," began Edna, pleadingly. He knows that I'm at home, and will el hurt if I refuse to see him. Show imn In Roberts." Farrows entered the room, smiling rato Edna's great brown eyes, which ere fill'ed with apprehensive disap ointment as she rose to greet him. Good evening. Miss Vane. I am >rtunate, indeed, In finding you unen ;aged for the evening. Good evening, Ir. Vane. I hope you have recovered rom that cold." "Humph!" grunted Mr. Vane, with iut lifting his eyes from his paper. Farrows looked embarrassed for an stant, and Edna flushed with indig aton at her father's rudeness. She rondered how Jack could talk so calm r and interestingly aftes having re elved such an insult. Indeed, so well id he touch upon the leading topics if the day that Edna, little as she un-1 Lerstood politics, sat listening as if3 ascinated, and Mr. Vane, In spite of iimself, was drawn Into the conver ~aton. "You're right, you're right!" he ex laimed grudgingly to one of Farrows' 'emarks. "But at the same time, a nan can't hire decent help at respect ble wages nowadays. Take the ~rounds about my house, for instance. 'ears ago, I could get a man to cut he grass and trim the shrubbery for 0 cents a day, and now they want wo dollars for the same job. Think1 ,f it-two dollars a day for work of hat kind! Robbery, actual robbery!" < Farrows was suddenly struck with n Idea. "Mr. Vane." he exclaimned, leahing; yard, eagerly. "I've a proposition o take you. I'll keep the grounds< bouf your house in order for--well,1 y 20 days. I'll guarantee the bestt w~rk, and-start with the minimum I y of one cent a day, upon ihe< t n tl-at the salary for each day 'e that of the previouis day. ., .ance, the first day you will athematics MACHER ents; the third, four cents, and so C. Is it a go?" . Mr. Vane stared as if he considered ie young man bereft of his senses. Humph! Of all the hair-brained idi ts. young man, you are certainly the orst I have ever met with!" he ex laimed; then, a sudden light dawning 1 his eyes, he acded coldly. "But ist to teach you a good lesson, I'll ke you up on that. Perhaps a little ard work will put some common ence into your head. Edna, get the en and ink and some paper from my sk." Edna threw Farrows a look of azement as she passed behind her ther's chair. Five minutes later, the greement was drawn up and properly gned, and each party was in posses' ion of a copy. Soon afterwards Far >ws took his leave, and Edna, against li rules of etiquette, followed him to he door. "Jack! Do you actually mean to eep that agreement. The work of a ommon laborer, and at such wages! ack, what are you thinking of?" Jack laughed heartily. i "Clean, honest work won't hurt any e," he said reassuringly, "and as for he money end of it, don't worry about hat; just get a pencil and paper and gure it all out for yourself. Don't for et to double each day's salary for the ext day's. Why, I'll be rich before hose 20 days are over. Just figure it ut and see," he ended gayly. After Jack left Edna went to her oom and busied herself with pencil ad paper as he suggested. After a hort period of figuring she lifted a eaming face to the glass opposite and egarded herself with eyes filled with appy surprise. "Edna Vane," she exclaimed joy ully, "you're just the luckiest, hap lest girl that ever lived and you're ot half worthy of him either!" Then irl like, she snatched Jack's photo maph from the table nearby and cov red it with kisses. Had not Mr. Vane taken it for ,ranted that Jack's sole object in ma ing so unusual an offer was simply tc e near his daughter while working bout her home he would have given he matter more serious -thought. As t was he took secret delight in de troying his plans by sending Edna on visit to a distant relative. The noney part of the agreement he did iot even take the trouble of consider ng-At was agreedsthat Jack was tc ollect the entire amourft -ofd'M' tue him when the 20 days were over. It was on the evening of Edna's ar ival home that Farrows took the lib rty of calling, a moment of triumpi hich he had patiently waited anc nged for.. "Humph! You have evidently for rotten your place, sir. The rear door the proper entrance for my hired ~elp, and besides Roberts has entire ~harge of all servants' complaints and uarrels." "Why, papa, how can you?" ex ~laimed Edna, indignantly. Farrows, owevr, remained perfectly at his ase. "Begging your pardon,- Mr. Vane,' e began in mock humility, "but I an . longer ,in your employ. My time vas up yesterday, if you please, sir, Lnd I've come to present you with thi2 ittle bill for my services." "Take it to Roberts, I say. He'll set le it up for you," replied Mr. ,Vane; mpatiently waving it aside. "But will Roberts have enough casi .o settle it, sir? This little bill calls 'or exactly $5,242.58, sir." "What?" snorted Mr. Vane con emptuously. "No fooling, no fooling ~oung man. I have no .time to waste rn jokes. Just let me take your pen il for a moment while I get this thing itraightened out." Farows threw Edna a look of tri. 1mph as her father jotted down sev. ral rows of figures; then he gasped nd hastily went over them again ldna, frightened at the explosion o1 'rath which she felt sure was to fol ow, grasped Jack's arm and waited rhere was a pause, during which Mr 'ane seemed -vainly endeavoring tc ~ontrol himself. Then he suddenl: 'ose and offered Jack his hand. "Young man, I apologize. I took you or an idiot when I was one myself nstead. You have certainly had the )est of me in this deal and I admire ou for it, I declare I do. Five thou tand and some odd dollars is a pretty tiff price to pay for a few days' work Lbout. the house, but an agreement is in agreement and I'll stick to my part )f it, never fear.

All he wants is-I, and h daddy, we care so very much fom ach othcr! If you will only let us gel naarried." Here she suddenly brokE ows and buried her face in his shoul Mr. Vane was clearly bewildered. "Well, well:" he said, patting her :ntly upon the back. "So you too ides against your dad in this deal, id you? There, there, don't cry any tore. There seen:s to be something tle boy after all, for it isn't every e who could get the best of me as asy as that.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED "I have suffered from the same trou ble (painful finger nails) at different periods of my life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflamma tion and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes It was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, -possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. "Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of a friend of mine, who had suffered. from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was not a permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, bu+ this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that I could not use it. I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had used the Cutieura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment Into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and Ia often beside as I could. I hal not Inails were better, and in a short-time thywere apparently well. There was no more suppuration, nor Inflam mation, the nails grew out clean laain. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used in -effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. .T. Horton, Katonah, N. Y., Apr. 13, 1910.
