K - ' WOMEN WHO BELIEVE IN PERUNA Honest Women Who Are Not Afraid to Tell the Truth About Pe-ru-na. JJL- : : ^ r»| i j Since I have iused Peruna I have a splendid appetite, enjoy life and perfect ' i health. MRS. F. E.HENDERSON J. Caught Cold Easily. Mrs. P. E. Henderson, 221 Ninth St., Milwaukee, Wis., writes: “I never had any faith in patent medicines until I tried Peruna, but my experience with this reliable medicine has taught me that there is one which can be trusted, and which will not fail in time of need. “For the past few years I have found that I caught cold easily, which would settle in a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. I had to be especially careful about being out of evenings, and not to get chilled when dressed thin for parties, but since I have used Peruna my general health is improved, and my system is in such good condition that even though I am exposed to in clement weatner it no longer affects me. “I have a splendid appetite and enjoy life, being in perfect health.*' The Value of Health. Who can set a money value on healthf It is absolutely priceless. No one in good health can fully appreciate what it means to have poor health. The days are long and tedious. The nights horrible and painful. Nothing goes right. Even the mind becomes deranged and in jured by continued poor health. Once liberated from the thraldom of sickness words fail to express the joy and relief. Peruna has been the means of re lieving more women from ill health in the United States than, perhaps, any other medicine. A multitude of women stand ready to give testimony in favor of Peruna whenever occasion offers. Dyspepsia Entirely Relieved. Miss Lilbe C. Martin, Shelbyville, Tenn., writes: “Everybody says I look better than I have for two or three years, and 1 sincerely thank you for your kind advice. “I believe your treatment has en tirely cured me. I can eat anything J want. 1 believe your remedies will cure any case of indigestion or dys pepsia.” T> r 7 -/ MISS HELEN SAUERBIER Pe-ru-na Tablets*. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assist-ants have labored incessantly to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous efforts have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets. These tablets represent the me dicinal ingredients of Peruna, and each tablet is equivalent to one average dose. Mrs. Josephine Holst, 162 E. First St., Portland, Ore., writes that she was troubled seriously with catarrh of the throat, that she used Peruna and was wonderfully helped in two weeks, and in a little over two months her system waaridof all traces of catarrh. -'4* • / * < W M t'Af S'if k * : !.0? / i i'V' k k k k’- & * * SJS ■ 4 4 4 4 f f-' tS-* ^cV* / ' tV* • vV* ( ' iV* ^ ’ iV* ^ / iV* / •J»"’ f iV* ^ ■ FARMERS’ UNION NEWS ONE YEAR.

Fancy but tons are used a great deal on these costumes and so are bands of satin, fancy silk braids and gimps and of course, laces and heavy lace inser tions. Pongees in natural colors and all the modish shades is made up into some beautiful costumes. A charm ing jumper dress of pale blue pongee in the rough weave now so fashion able had a coat to match. The prin cess jumper had a high girdle cut in one with the skirt, which together with the shoulder straps was elabor ately braided in pale blue soutache. The coat was in the semi-fitting Di- rectorie style and showed an elaborate pattern of braiding all around the edge and up the side seam. Fashion in Footwear. Never before was fashion so insist ent in demanding that her votaries should be daintily shod in footwear that accords in tone either with the dress or its trimmings. The increas ing demand for <hoes made of the and fancy styles are to be worn a great deal this summer, the larger proportion of these costumes being in the fancy lace trimmed, embroidered or soutache braided models. The fashions most favored are the jumper or princess designs with a coat of the same material. White of course is the favorite shade, but more colored linens will be worn than has been the case for years, pale pink, blue and lavendar are the leading tints. Both white and colored piques are shown trimmed with designs in soutache braiding of the same shade. There are also some smart loking white suits trimmed with thick cords covered with colored pique arranged in the form of ornaments on the front of the coat, on the sleeves and oc easionally on the panels o'f the skirt. The shirt buttonel up the front panel is unquestionably the most po pular of the newly iritroduced skirt styles. This model is used for both woolvn, silk and cotton gowns. Lucy Carter. FOR RENT.
