Is Peruna a Laxative? TRY TO DO TOO MUCH
-4
♦
I am In re- l
celpt of a letter i
from a mechan- '
ic who is at the j
head of a proB- J
perous house- '
hold. Peruna j
has been used
in his family
for a good
many years. He
writes as fol-
lows :
"As you know,
we have used
Peruna In our
home for a num-
ber of years.
« a u >. „ We find It a re-
S. B. Hartman. M. D. „ab,e hou8ehoW |
medicine in catarrhal conditions,
coughs, colds and grip, and many oth-
er ailments to which the family is
subject. But since the change in the j
formula of Peruna I do not find i( i
quite as useful to myself. My bowels
are naturally very active. I cannot j
take a cathartic of any sort. It does
me injury to do so. The old Peruna
contained no cathartic ingredient
and was therefore a very useful medi-
cine to me. But I notice that the
new Peruna has a slight laxative ac-
tion, which almost makes it pro-
hibitory for me to use. I was won-
dering if there was not some way in
which i could obtain the old Peruna
as you used to mak<* it."
To this letter I made the following
reply: "Yes, the new Peruna does
contain a laxative element. You
should therefore take the old Peruna
(Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative
quality. While prescribing the old
Peruna I found it quite necessary fre-
quently to prescribe the laxative Man-
alin In connection with it. Therefore j
Manalin was combined with Perbna, j
In order to meet those cases that re- j
quire a laxative. But in case no I
laxative Is required the objection to
the new Peruna you speak of arises.
Many of the people who used to take
the old Peruna found difficulty In tak-
ing (he new Peruna. To meet those
cases I am having manufactured the
old Peruna under the name of Katar-
no, and if you are anxious to get the
old Peruna exactly as It used to be
made you can do so."

SPECIAL NOTICE:—Many persons Inquire
for The Old-time Peruna. They want the
Peruna that their Fathers and Mothers used
to take. The old Peruna Is now called Ka-
tartio. If your drupgist or dealer does not
keep It for sale write the Katarno Company,
Columbus, Ohio, and they will tell you all
about It.
PALMISTS, ATTENTION.
error most women make
WHEN HOUSE CLEANING.
To Lay Out a System and Do the
Work One Room at a Time is
Better Than Upsetting
the Whole House.
Winter, with Its attendant duties
In household affairs, means that the
woman who has system In her plans
will accomplish mjre work and have
more satisfactory results than the er-
ratic, makeshift housekeeper, who
cleans because she is expected to do
so, and whose work speaks for her
incompetence.
House cleaning should not be a mat-
ter to be feared, and it decidedly
should not disrupt the home and verify
the "eating from the mantelpiece"
joke.
The first rule is to plan the time to
be given to the work and to do one
room at a time. This will insure
thoroughness, and will allow a part
of the day for rest, so that a wreck
of a woman need not greet the home-
comers at night. Most women are en-
thusiastic, and when one room is
cleaned feel that they might as well
go through the suite. This Is the er-
ror for which they pay later on.
The easiest way when cleaning the
furniture which has been covered is
to remove the linen coverings and
place in a tub of water to which
naphtha or borax has been added.
While these additions are doing the
washing for you the furniture should
be taken out of doors and thoroughly
brushed with a stiff brush. If the
covering be durable, a beating with
a rattan beater should be given.
The woodwork should be wiped off
with warm water and a chamois.
Paints should be cleaned, and you
have no idea what an extra coat of
enamel on white paint or varnish on
other wood will do.
Wallpaper can be cleaned by wip-
ing it with breadcrumbs. Art gum
or kneaded rubber will do this work,
as also will bread dough that has not
much lard in it.
Carpets or rugs after a thorough
cleaning can be brightened by wip-
ing over the surface with water to
which ammonia has been added.
Gas globes are also brightened by
a bath in soapsuds and ammonia
The curtains and other hangings
are easily cleaned, and the furniture
moved back. Just a hint: Change
the arrangement of the chairs, and
the room will seem to take a new life
and an added attraction.
Then rest! One room at a time,
remember. Perhaps 't will take two
weeks What of it? Does not a good
temper, a rested body, the knowledge
of work well and thoroughly done war-
rant "making haste slowly?"
Try the slow and sure method this
year.

Rochester, N. Y. —" I have a daugh-

very healthy until recently when she
complained of dizziness and cramps every
month, so bad that I would have to keep
her home from sciiool and put her to bed
to get relief.
"After giving her only two bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound she is now enjoying the best of

too highly. I want every good mother
to read what your medicine has done for
my child."—Mrs. Richard N. Dunham,

A PENALTY OF AGE
The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise Is re-
sponsible for the constipated condition |
of most elderly people. The wear of
yearB Impairs the nctlon of the bow-
els and tho digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics j
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and |
one that is recommended by phvsl- \
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound of sim-
ple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by Dr. W. B, Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug-
gists everywhere unde* the name of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Peitsin Dr.
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send a trial bottle, free of charge,
to all who write for It. Address Dr.

Lots of Money Well Spent.
Arthur Blanchard, who spent much
of his time traveling over the coun-
try for the government, was seated
behind a bride and groom in a Pull-
man car one afternoon when the train
went through a long tunnel. As Is
emerged into the light of day the
bride wae grabbing desperately at her
hat and fighting three fast rounds
with one or two hatpins which had
become loosened.
In order to relieve the situation and
inject some harmless conversation
Into the gap. Blanchard remarked'
"This tunnel cost $12,000,000."
"Well," said the bride judicially, "It
was worth it"—Popular Magazine.
Some Names Easily Remembered.
"Now, children," asked the teacher,
addressing the class in United States
history, "who was it that shot Roose-
velt?"
"Why—er-ahl—" hesitatingly an-
swered the brightest pupil. "1 thing
it was a crank by the name of Swank
or Prank, or something like that."
"What surgeon attended the colonel,
and—"
Thereat they all trose and exclaim-
ed as with one voice: "Scurry L. Ter-
rUl M D.!!!"
From this we should learn that an
unforgettable name is rather to be
chosen than great riches.
Calumet Ends "Bad Luck."
Remember when you were a youngster,
what a trial baking day was? If Mother
was lucky, everything went finely—but if
she had "bad luck" her cakes and her
pies and her bread were failures. Her
success in baking seemed to depend al-
most altogether on "luck."
Nowadays there's no such thing as
"baking Inck." At kast. not in the kitch-
ens of the up-to-date cooks. Simply be-
cause Calumet Halving Powder has smash-
ed that old time Idea. It has made bak-
ing sura of success. It has inatle inex-
perienced cooks able to bake perfectly,
and day after day it is saving hundreds
of dollars' worth of time and materials by
doing away with costly failures.
Calumet Baking Powder Is the purest
baking powder made—and guaranteed not I
only to BE pure, hut to stay pure In the
CAM and In the BAKING. Calumet has
twice been officially Judged the BEST
baking powder made—receiving the high-
est awards at the World's Pure Food im-
positions In Chicago (1907) and In Paris
(1912). Adv.

During the late campaign an Illinois
candidate for the legislature was driv
ing through the country, seeking votes
among the farmers, when he met a
young man in farmer's garb, walking
by the roadside.
Having in mind a prospective vote,
he stopped his horse, and saluting him
in a familiar manner, inquired:
"Are you paying any attention to
politics nowadays?"
The young man stopped, looked at
ills suspiciously, and drawled out:
"No, stranger; that don't happen to
be my gal's name; but ef It was, 1
wouldn't think it was any of your
durned business."
This ended the interview as well as
the prospect.

While a traveling man was waiting
for an opportunity to show his sam-

came in and bought a couple of night-

his boots, said to the merchant:
"What was them 'ere f at feller

"Night shirt. Can I sell j'® t one or

For Curtain Stretchers.
Any woman who is in need of cur-
tain stretchers and has a set of quilt-
ing frames ou hand, can make them
in the following way: Buy some fine
wire nails one-inch size, and put a
row of them along one edge of your
frames as far apart as the scallops
of your curtains. Then secure your
frames at the corners and stretch
your curtains on the small nails. Af-
ter all your curtains are done, remove
the nails, as they are liable to rust
if left in, and it is very easy to tack
nails In the old holes when next you
want to use them.
Homely Hint.
Wax candles which have become
dusty or soiled can be made perfectly
white by rubbing them with a clean
piece of flannel dipped in spirits of

RASH SPREAD TO ARMS
769 Roach Ave., Indianapolis, Ind.—
"At first I noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as a rash.
It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
I scratched them and of course the re-
sult was blood and matter. The erup-
tions festered, broke, opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. I
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out of
the question. The trouble also caused
disfigurement. My cloihing irritated
the breaking out.
"By this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success.
The trouble continued. Then I began
to use the sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Within seven or eight
days I noticed gratifying results. I
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and in about eighteen or twenty
days my cure was complete." (Signed)

Farms for Children.
| Perhaps the smallest farms in the
1 world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
j for the International Children's School
; Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
; of his diminutive farm, in which he
| works, grows and harvests seven dif-
ferent kinds of vegetables, and ther'.e
j are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 18-inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor it becomes a tiny ob
I ject lesson in good roads.
