Writer Urges That American Girls Be
Taught to Work:
j Any American girl is poasibly, and
probabiy, going to need to fall back
upon her own resources some time.
• n nps and downs of fortune are too
a __ a.a.too conspicuous to need point*
lag out. To bring up a girl without
any training in a useful occupation
Is not simply improvident Mid foolish,
but It la wicked. Feminine character
needs independence to make and keep
It sweet and perfect. The darkest
tragedy of life grow out of the ignor-
ance. helplessness and dependence of
women. Courage, training in work.
Independence of character and self*
reliance—these, with high ideals ol
womanhood for inspiration, are what
every girl needs. Only through In-
telligent work can the highest char
acter be attained and the growth of
character le the whole purpose of thli
school which we call "the world/*—
Woman's Home Companion.
ASKING QUESTIONS.
An Inquiry Changed a Man's Whole
Life.
When you get a man to recognize
that his bad feelings come from im-
proper food snd that he can get well
by using scientific food, the battle is
haif won. One of New York's business
men says:
"I was troubled for a long time with
Indigestion, headache, and stomach
trouble, and had taken various medh
clnes, but with no good results. I con*
eluded to see how a change of food
would affect me. I never cared partic-
ularly for cereals of any kind, but ate
meat and pastry continually and drank
coffee.
"I found on Inquiring that Grape*
Nuts were highly spoken of, and do*
elded to give them a trial. To say |
was surprised st the result would not
begin to do justice to my feelings. My
headaches left me. my brain became
clearer and active, my attacks of lad!*
gestlon grew fetrer and fewer until
they ceased entirely, and where 1 once
went home tired, fagged out and In*
disposed to any exertion whatever, 1
now found a different state of affairs.
"My color was good, my muscles
strong and firm and fully equal te
anything I asked of them. Instead ol
soft and flabby. 1 live two mllei
from my bualness and walk It dally
back and forth. If the weather per
mlts. I am 66 years old and feel at
well and strong as when I was 30. and
can ride 70 miles a day on a blcycli
without feeling any bad results.'

Threatened With Loss of Hearing, Smell

Catarrh.
Pe-nt-sa

\
l Feel

Young
Man
Again."
i
Fuller.
A GREAT many remedies to tempor-
arily relieve catarrh have beea devised
from time to time, such as sprays,
mufis, creams and other local applications,
Out, as a rule, the medical profession has
Ittle or no enthusiasm in the treatment
d catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them to be
dcurable.
It therefore created a great sensation in
bedical circles when l>r. Hartman an-
tonnced that he had devised a compound
ehkh would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and in a
fcort time became known to thousands of
latarrh sufferers north, south, east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact thai Peruna
§ a radical cure for catarrh began to pour
(a from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file in
he office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll. Pella. Wis., writes :
"I feel obliged to extend you my personal
thanks for my complete restoration. All
through the winter I suffered from throat
u d lung trouble, but recovered my entire
health by the uae of your excellent remedy
Peruna."
The following letter from a prominent
sentleman of Los Angeles, is a case in point:
Mr. J. W. Fuller, President of the
Jewelers' Association of Los Angeles, Cel..
has been in business ia that city for seven-
teen years ont of the forty-five that he has
been engaged in business. Concerning his
experience with Peruua he says:
"/ wes troubled with catarrh of tha
bead lor many yean. It affected my
sense of smell, bearing and eight i
spent lots of money with doctors and
the use of local applications to relieta
me but to no purpose, until my attea-
Hon was called to the wonderful effects
of Peruna.
••/ must say that I met with meat
surprising and iatlsfactory results.
Pe una took hold of the complaint and
drove It entirely out of my system.
••Although welt along toward the
'lotted tpan of men's life I am /
as a child over the results, a 
like a young man again."—J. W.
Puller.
Such letters as the above are not used for
publication except by the written per*
mission of the writer.
A pamphlet filled with such letters will
be sent to any address free. This book
should be read by all who doubt the
curability of catarrh.
If you do not receive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna write
at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state-
ment of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis. *
Address Dr. Hartman, President of The
Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
