Your doctor will tell you that
thin, pale, weak, nervous chil
dren become strong and well
by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Small doses, for a few days.
Sarsaparilla
The change 19 very prompt
and very marked. Ask your
doctor why it is. He has our
formula and will explain.

The Children
Is certainly a great convenience.
Checked parasols with flowered silk
borders are in keeping with the pre
sent rage for checks, and one style
of elegant plain silk parasols have cut
jet bead or steel bead handles, some
being finished with a large knob.
The Lingerie Parasols
while affording no genuine protection,
are very pretty, and range from those
of simple muslin edged with embroid
ery of eyelet work, to the hand em
broidered one, with insertions of real
Val. lace. Tucked and embroidered
linen swell the category, and hand-
painting or colored embroidery on
each gore or in a wreath around the
parasol, are usually a beautiful blend
ing of delicate tints. Gathered tucks
of blue or pink chiffon, a little more
than an inch apart, form an entire
parasol, roearkalde for its softness
and be utv
their latest development. Embroidery |
in heavy hand work, open eyelet work,
Irish crochet or linen laces are used j
freely for their embellishment, and
they are often as costly as they are !
beautiful. Linen etamine is one of
the latest varieties in shirt-waist suit
style. Seen at a recent opening was
a linen suit of the bluet-blue shade,
now called “Alice blue,” with a half-
length coat open in front and a cir
cular skirt. The edges of the entire
costume, including the skirt, were
hand-scalloped with the same color,
and the sleeve, fronts of skirt and
front and back of coat were embroid-
eried in heavy hand work of the same
shade. Lucy Carter.

Spring Millinery; Ostrich Plumes;
Velvet; Taffeta Silk Costumes.
A millinery shop window is now a
curious sight; exaggerations of all
kinds and exquisite creations are so
arranged that almost startling con
trasts are the result. A Napoleon
shape in pink gossamer straw, with
an outline of tiny rose buds at hack
and front, (intended for a very young
person) is next an immense black
lace straw, with a high crown, ami
two gorgeous ostrich plumes. Then
a large sailor hat, with crown of the
richest colored silk and lace brim,
has for its neighbor a jet toque with
white ostrich plume. A green straw,
trimmed with white lilacs, is near a
large shape of Milan straw, the brim
bent in three curves which are filled
in with large roses and foliage.
Ostrich Plumes
were never more important, their
graceful undulations doing away to
some extent with the absurdities of
hats, designed to he conspicuous.
Ve’vet is also a fact >r in millinery,
particularly in the “higi l'°c ’ ef
fects, where it is crml7nf l v' tb
flowers of several kinds. Large re es
are well adapted to shapes turning
up at one side, or forming the centre
of a flat crown of flowers. The posi
tion of stylish hats is varied. Some
tilt over the face, especially the “high
hack” shapes, others perch on the
pompadour roll,-then again the large
sailor is worn finite flat on the head.
That Beautiful Accessory
the parasol now comes with renewed
beauty and variety. Mytiads of plain
silk parasols In different styles, are
suitable to the shirt-waist suit, the
novelty however, is the “suit-case
parasol,” jointed in the handle, which
This hand- ) m; -treet costume, the
illustration v idch is supplied by
The i)er oresl Fishion Co., is of
brown shot mohair of a beautiful lus
trous quality, with collar and cuffs of
cream white suede cloth, edged with
brown mohair braid. The belt is of
braid and the girdle of soft, messaline
taffeta in chameleon effect. The skirt
is of ihe popular nine-gored type,
with th<“ sid-* idiits arranged over
each s< am and down the centre of
each gore.
Linen Gowns and Suits.
Far from shoving the decline of
favor prophesied on account of the
longevity of its fashionable reign, lin
en is to be the era/.e in gowns, waists,
suits, coats and embroideries. The
gowns are of irresistible charm in

The young girl who has just made
her formal bow to society or is not
yet quite old enough for that cere
mony is a more important factor in
both the world of society and the
world of fashion than she once was.
If smartly dressed today she is never
over-dressed. This season the modes
are particularly suitable for the young
person, or at least many of the modes
are. Almost all the sheer, shimmering
silken stuffs, the soft, light-weight
woolens, the dainty linens and cot
tons are suitable for the young girl’s
frock.
There is much in the cut of a skirt
but even the most irreproachable in
cut will not take on correct flare and
live up to its opportunities unless the!
netticoat does its fluty, and the fash-j
ion in which the girl’s skirt hangs of
ten makes or mars the smartness of
her appearance.
Pretty petticoats are made from
the cheeked taffetas in white and
color, and tartan plaids are favorite
materials for petticoats intended for
youthful wearers.

I am compelled by a sense of gratitude to te^

afflicted with Rheumatism, and got almost past
going. The disease got a firm hold upon my
system; my blood was thoroughly poisoned
with the vlrns, as oharaoterized by the usual
symptoms. I lost in weight, was run down,
had sore throat, eruptions, splotches and other
evidences of the disease. I was truly in bad
shape when I began 8. 8. 8., but the persistent
use of it brought me out of my trouble, safe and
sound, and I have the courage to publloly tes

Miss B. Inez Silvera, 1*9 W. 136th street, New
York City, Grand Recorder Daughters of American
Independence, wri tes:
“Nine years of work, without a vacation, wore
out my nervous system. I lost my appetite and felt
weak and exhausted nearly all the time.
••Peruna restored me to perfect health In five
weeks. It Is the finest tonic for a weary woman
that I know of. I gladly endorse lt.”—B. Inez
Silvera.
Peruna is the most prompt and permanent euro for
all cases of nervous prostration caused by systemic
catarrh known to the medical profession.
MISS ESTELLE CAMPBELL.
Miss Estelle Campbell, 140 N. High street, Nash
ville, Tenn., writes:
‘•Peruna helped me when almost everything else
failed. / was rundown from overwork, as I had
not been able to take a vacation for three years
and naturally my nerves were all unstrung and /
was greatly In need of rest and a tonic.
“I went away for two months, but did not seem
to get my strength back, although I was taking a
prescription which the doctor gave me before I
went away.
“At the request of my relatives, with whom I was
visiting, I began to use Peruna, and you cannot
realize how glad I was when within a week I found
I was feeling so much better. Inside of a month I
was feeling splendidly, ready and able to take up
my work again.”—Estelle Campbell.

MISS B. INEZ SILVERA.
A Spring Tonic.
Almost everybody needs a tonic in the
spring. Something to brace the nerves,
invigorate the brain, and cleanse the
blood. That Perund will do this is be
yond all question.
We have on file thousands of letters
whicl^testify to the curative and pre
ventive value of Peruna in cases of
nervous depression and run down con
ditions of the system. We quote a
typical case:
Mr. Frank Williams, 3935 5Mth street,
New York City, member First Presby
terian Church and Captain Capitol Golf
Club, writes:
“Last spring 1 suffered with malaria
and a run down condition which seemed
very difficult to overcome.
“I tried several different tonics but
did not seem to get much better until 1
began using Peruna, My recovery was
slow, but I was improving and I was
glad to continue using it.
“At the end of two months my health
was restored and I looked and felt much
better than I had for years. Your rem
edy is well worthy of a recommend
and I am pleased to give it mine.”—
Frank Williams.
Peruna never falls to prevent
spring catarrh or nervous prostra
tion, If taken In time.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that ifc
contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe
runa is perfectly harmless. It can be
used any length of time without acquir
ing a drug hr bit. Peruna does not pro
duce temporary results. It is permanent
in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible U
Peruna contained any drugs of a nar
cotic nature. All correspondence held
strictly confidential.
The worst disease the world has ever known, and the greatest
scourge to the human race, is Contagious Blood Poison. One drop of
the virus of this loathsome disease will pollute and vitiate the purest
and healthiest blood, and within a short time after the first little sore
appears the system is filled with the awful poison; the skin breaks out
in a red rash, the glands of the groins begin to swell, the throat and
mouth become ulcerated, the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the
entire surface of the body is covered with copper-colored splotches, pus
tular eruptions and sickening-looking sores and abscesses. Many a
man has been cut down in the prime of life, or his health so impaired by this vile disease
that usefulness is destroyed, and he becomes a burden to himself and an object of pity to
the rest of mankind. Contagious Blood Poison is the most annoying, humiliating and
degrading of all diseases. It is as treacherous and elusive as the serpent. Under the
mercury and potash treatment all
external evidences of it may disap
pear, and the victim misled, be
buoyed up by false hopes of a cure,
while the disease may even then
have fastened its fangs in some
vital spot within the system, where $1
it is doing its destructive work uu-
seen.#Mercury has arrayed against
it thousands upon thousands of
physical wrecks and chronic inva-

harassed by constantly returning
symptoms and confronted with unmistakable traces of blood poison years after. As long as
your blood is tainted with this awful virus you are a source of infection and danger to all
who come in contact with you, and your children will carry in their veins the same dreadful
contagion. As long as there is life in the serpent there is danger in its fangs, and so long
as any signs of Contagious Blood Poison remain there is danger of infection. Safety lies in
crushing out the life of this loathsome disease and killing the serpent, and no remedy
known does this so thoroughly and permanently as S. S. S. It is an antidote for this
peculiar virus that spreads through the system, defiles the blood and contaminates all
healthy tissues and threatens every organ and part of the body.
S. S. S. contains no mineral of any description, but is
guaranteed entirely vegetable, and we offer $i,ooo for proof
that it is not just as we represent it to be. It leaves no
bad after-effects, but purifies the blood and at the same time
builds up your general health. In chronic or long-standing
cases of blood poison, where the stomach and digestion have
been damaged by the use of minerals, S vS. S. will prove
an excellent tonic and appetizer and helpful in restoring strength and activity to all parts
of the system. Kill the serpent, crush out its life, or you are apt to feel the bad effects of
the disease all your life. If you will write us fully about your case, our physicians will
gladly advise without charge, and mail you a copy of our home-treatment book telling all
about Contagious Blood Poison, its different stages and symptoms, and a lot of interesting
information about this formidable and much-dreaded disease.
