Colds are caught Jn many ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts ; crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms: offices illy heated. A done of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cfld, before the bones berin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, iust a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is gener, ally sufficient But after the cold k once established with the above svmptoms prominent a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary. "For several rears I have been troubles with eolde at each change of season. I took Peruna and have not been troubled with the slightest cold thla entire season." Mr. Harry Fisher, 1928 Mother St. Baltimore, Md. "I give the children Peruna If they have a cold, and it always relieves them." Mrs. I. D. Hayes, 1927 Druid H1U Ave* Baltimore, Md. "When I feel a cold coming on I take a little Peruna, and It does me good." Mr. Charles S. Many, 12 Water 8t. Osalnlng, N. Y. "No family should ever be without Peruna. for It la an unfailing cure for colds." Mrs. M- F. Jones, Burnlag Springs, Ky. The reason some wives don't have occasion to doubt their husbands is that they never believe anythine they say. Some people, knowing themselves at fault, still make frantic efforts to shift the blame on others. .?. Arrival ol Passenger Trains at KIngstree.

The conversation in the lobl>y of a Washington hotel the other night turned to the diagnosis of the doctor, prescriptions and things like that, when a case was recalled by Congressman Ira C. Copley of Illinois. Some time ago, he said, a man named Smith was taken sick, and his fm'cm/t .Tnnoa Vmnrincr nbnnt it U'PTlt around to pay him a visit and cheer him up. "What seems to be the matter, old man?" asked Jones, after the handclutch, "and what kind of treatment i3 the doctor giving you ?" "The doctor tdld fne I was run down," answered Smith, "and said that nothing was better for one in my condition than a little whisky occasionally." "You don't really mean it!" exclaimed Jones. "Is the whisky doing you any good ?" "Oh, yes," was the confident rejoinder of Smith. "When that keg came a week ago, I could hardly lift it, and now I can carry it all around the room."?Chicago Evening Post. WHY FISH HAVE NO EYELIDS Unnecessary Appendages, and AllWise Nature Has in Consequence Eliminated Them. Have you ever noticed the vacant stare of a fish and wondered why they have no eyelids? If you.have not it will be interesting the next time vcyi visit an aquarium to note closely the eyes of the fish and observe how they are compelled, either in their sleeping or wakiag hours, to peer constantly out through the water. As a matter of fact, fi9h have no need of eyelids. It would be violative of the economy of nature for them to be equipped with such a useless appendage. In the water there is no dust to get into the eyes, nothing to scratch them or mar them with blows, and the great cushion of water that forever surrounds them protects them from manv other dangers which confront land animals. It will be seen, therefore, that nature did not merely neglect to fit fish with eyelids, but apparently did so with the purpose of conserving the energy that would be needed in i maintaining them for use at some more important part. SAYS FISH HAVE HYDROPHOBIA. "Fish with hydrophobia," is the caption on a report in the German Anglers' News of an extraordinary mania affecting the huge pike m the River Sieg and other confluents of the Rhine. The pike rise to the surface and swim around in the greatest excitement, which bears all signs of absolute terror. Anglers state pike thus affected when caught snap more fiercely than the others. The disease is believed to have some connection with the recent floods. Local societies and the riverine authorities invite anglers to come and help rid the streams of these diseased tish. DIED AS HE LIVED. "Easeman is gone, poor chap. Died without a struggle." "Just like Easeman; he never wm known to exert himself in anything." THE HATS. Hicks?Aren't some of the hats the girls are wearing ridiculous? Wicks?Yes, indeed, but not so ridiculous as others. ECONOMIC TRIP. "Do you think you will take a water trip this summer?" "Don't knew where it will be unless it is on the water wagon." ITS KIND. "What line of conversation does Mrs. Smith seem to prefer?" i "I gather from her usual talk, it a a clothes line." .< THE NEW COIFFURE. Maud?There are as good fish in die sea as ever were caught. :i Ethel?Is that why you are wearng a fish-hook curl? REVERSES. "I hear Jones turned up as a poedble husband ?for Miss Smoth." 1 "He did turn up, but she turned lim down." i j / \ REAL OBJECT OF FEMINISM To Marke Women Stockholders With Men in the Business of Life, Says Writer. To meet life undaunted; to labor, to succeed or to fall, as human individuals, not by men; to seek their own success in self-chosen, appropriate paths unhampered by laws or conventions from which men are exempt?these, we take it, constitute the ultimate object of the revolt of the women. And that Bums up feminism, considered as a great instinctive human movement It is another and a very great step toward the realization of V\ 11 mon iKn nrr?mon iiuiiiaii ligvuvm. x xtiiu n v/iu^u follows naturally, and in civilization's own good time, upon freeing slaves. Feminism, then, is in essence and fact a spiritual attitude. But it follows as the night the day that, to be effective, there is involved the power as well as the principle of freedom. Women must become the civic and the social equals of men. It makes little difference whether or not they shall use this power; the fact that they possess it, rather that they should not be forbidden its possession, is the magic that will break the shackles. The object of feminism is to make women stockholders with men in the business of life.? Century. enure I ICC DV MA DDI Aft C OH?LO LIT L Ul IVinil II inu k. Man Whos.e Coolness Caused Girl'a Collapse Weds Her, and All Is Happiness. Miss Mildred C. Voorheis and Earl T. Schaffer were married by the Rev. J. B. Sweet in the belief that the young woman's marriage was the only sure method of restoring her mental balance and saving her life. She had been at the point of death since two weeks ago, when Mr. Schaffer informed her of his intention to break their engagement. The young woman, who was prominent in religious and social work, became unconscious at that time, and when she was aroused was delirious, calling constantly for her fiance. As a result the doctors insisted that Mr. Schaffer sit constantly by her bedside in the hope that if she regained consciousness his presence would restore her mind. She became conscious about a week ago, and the sight of Schaffer seemed to restore her mind. The physicians then announced that the only certain means of keeping her from collapsing again was for him to keep his promise to marry* her. This he did.?Binghamton (X. Y.) Dispatch to Xew York Herald. HESITATION. Patience?What's the matter with the phonograph ? It sounds as if it were stuttering. Patrice?I guess it's trying to get one of those hesitation waltzes out of its system. NOT HOPEFUL "He seems to take a gloomy view i of life and its prospects.'* ' "Yes, he's too pessimistic to get a divorce." ^ CHANCE FOR A MISTAKE.

I A "I think it la perfectly dreadful," be gan the girl with the pale blonde hair, "the heartless way some girls have In ron-o i?/T tn man f THou Hnn't QDOm to care about anything except the money a man has!" "I know it," agreed the young woman with the curling lashes. "All they want is a good time. Take Frederick Ringle, for instance." "I was just thinking about him," said the blonde girl. "He Is the best looking fellow we know and yet he always gets the short end of it because he can't spend money like the others, and he has such a fine character." "But character won't take a girl to the theater," said the girl with curling lashes. Of course I am at present speaking from most girls' point of view. As for me, I appreciate a man's true worth. I'm just as glad to see Frederick as any one! I?" "Why, Daisy!" cried the blonde girL "I was there myself when you broke a. date over the telephone with Frederick because some one else had asked you to the opera!" "Well, that's different!' declared the young woman with curling lashea. "Frederick was merely going to call, on me, but the opera is an education, and one should seize the dhance to enjoy it whenever possible!" "I always make a point of asking Frederick to my Sunday night teas," declared the blende girl. "I think it really is more of a compliment to invite any one informally like that than to a dinner. I've always wondered if Frederick's dress suit was really his or Just rented. Of course, that's nothing against him, only?" ' "A man of real fine feelings would hate to wear a rented suit, I should think," interrupted the other. "It's odd that Frederick doesn't get ou faster in business. Sometimes I i "He Is a Very Fine Man." think he must have a weak spot In his nature. Maybe he is cut out for on? of these unsuccessful men!" "Perhaps," agreed the blonde girL "He really is too handsome to amount to much. I've always felt that about Frederick. Yet he has such a way of looking serious as though he were planning great things!" "I think it would be an awful mistake for a girl to get interested in him," said the young woman with curling lashes. "He never could afford to run a house properly, and think now 1118 WHO WUU1U 1U(U vu ui CHI Yet, of course, he Is a very fine man!" "He has such high aspirations,"' sighed the blonde girl. "Of course, I understand that he can't afford to* bring one five pound boxes of candy. Still, it would be nice If he could?r 'That was why ycu ditched him In favor of Tom Walsh," Suggested the girl with the curling lashes. "Tom seems to have credit with a candy fa?? tory. However?" "Why, the very idea!" cried the blonde girl indignantly. "I have every respect for Frederick! But I certainly am not going to miss a chance like Tom Walsh out of foolish sentiment! Do you realize what dividends his father gets from his mine? Anyhow, I think it unkind of you when you know It's hopeless, and Frederick had been dropping in pretty often. I had to give him a hint." "He came Just as often to see me!"' declared the girl with curling lashes. I'm sure I've always tried to be nice to him, but I think he might have had better sense than to persist in sticking around when Mr. Nippert was calling! He seemed to think he had lust as much right to be in there as & man who could buy and sell him 50 times over! Sometimes l tnina rveawick is pushing!" "There certainly is something crad?> ibout him,' agreed her friend. "Maybe? it is the result of the narrow, retired; ife he is forced to lead. I presume ho means well. He?" "Girls!" cried a third as she dashed, n. "Have you heard? Frederick. Single has been appointed secretary )f his company at a perfectly shame-, 'ul salary, it's so big?and is going; to .ake charge of the Paris branch!" The blonde girl recovered first. Tear Frederick!" she murmured. "I. ilways thought he was made for great hings! I believe I'll telephone him o come to dinner tonight?he'll want o see me before he goes away!" "How fortunate," cried the girl with :urling lashes, "that I hadn't asked Lnybody to the club dance! I'll ask Yed! I always knew something like his would happen! It Just serves the ;irls right who have treated him so >adly because he hadn't plenty of noney! I hope he will realize that I, lave always been his friend!"?Chi-' hgo Daily News . 1 >/ . .... . ..
