as seriously as this country though
some Parisian wits are now payinj
fines for the gayety of their answers
to the enumerators' queries. Some
towns and villages set about swelling
their population. Marseilles and Lyon?
r were jealous about the second place
among French cities. Whether they
padded the returns or not does not
appear, but Cassoulet-siir-Lot. a lit
tle town in the South, vas anxious
to bring its population up to 20,000,
so that its magistrates could have their
salaries increased by $125. As only
a few score of people were wanted,
the affair was comparatively easy.
Cassoulet jail was made the' work
house of a whole district, but entry
was obligatory, not permissive, for all
the tramps in the neighborhood. This
drafting of citizens was successful.

Medicine
MISS ANNIE HENDREN, Rocklyn,
Wash., writes:
"I feel better than I have for over four
years. I have taken several bottles of
Peruna and one bottle of Manalin.
"I can now do all of my work, in the
house, milk the cows, lake care of the
milk, and so forth. I think Pe runa is
a most xoonder/ul medciinc.
"I believe I would be in bed to-day if
I had not written to you for advice. I
had taken all kinds of medicine, but none
did me any good.
"Pcruna has made me a well and
happy girl. I can never say too much,
for Peruna."
Not only women of rank and leisure
praise Peruna, but the wholesome, useful
women engaged in honest toil would- not
be without Dr. Hartman's world renowned
remedy.
. The Doctor has prescribed it foi- many
thousand women every year and he never
fails to receive a multitude of letters like
the above, thanking him for his advice,
and especially for the wonderful benefits
received from Peruna.
