100 YEARS OLD. _ Grandma Sanderson, of DeWitt, Mo., Has Lived a Long and Useful Life. Grandma Sanderson is a wonderful woman. She is in as good health to- day as ever in her life, although she is over one hundred years Bld. Ina letter to the Peruna Drug Mfg. Co., she gives the highest credit to Pe- runa for her excellent health and ex- «treme old age. Read what she says. Surely the evidence presented by such cases as these ought not only to dispel prejudice against Peruna, but inspire confidence in it. “T will send you a picture that was taken a few weeks before my hun- dredth birthday. “Iam a true friend of the Peruna Company.

Owing to the severity of the and my ex- treme age, my case was considered to be very critical, I employed no doc- tor, but Peruna was the remedy I used, and to-day my health is as good as it ever was in my life. “However, I still continue to take Peruna, a spoonful every night before po ” tiring. Peruna is an ideal tonic for old people. It is a compound of herbal remedies that has been known to the medical profession for many years. Peruna operates asa tonic by cleans- ing and invigorating the mucous mem- branes. This explains why Peruna has become so extensively known as a catarrh remedy. Catarrh is simply a condition of depraved mucous mem- branes. Peruna changes this deprav- ity into healthful vigor, * Agreat many old people use Peruna, and would not be deprived of it for any consideration. People who object to liquid medi- cines can now secure Peruna tablets. Amsterdam Items. From the Enterprise. W. A.

In order to relieve a farm hand of the labor and strain of holding a milk pail clasped between the knees, a pail holding device has been invented con- sisting of an attachment that may be strapped to the leg and to which the pail may be secured as desired, says Scientific American. The pail holder consists of a foot base, on which the shoe of the operator rests, and a ver- tical rod which extends upward to the operator’s knee. The foot plate is strapped to the shoe and the rod is strapped to the calf of the wearer. Mounted on a rod ts an eye adapted to receive a hook carried by a central hoop on the milk pail. A clasp is ar ranged to slide on the rod and Is pro vided with a projecting lug adapted to be moved Into engagement with an eye formed on the upper hoop of the Milk Pail Holder, milk pail. By means of these two se- curing devices, the pail may readily be attached to, or disengaged from the rod NINE GOOD RULES FOR DAIRY Regulations Given at Meeting in Boe ton by P. M. Harwood for Prop- er Care of Milk.

Serious Accidents. The little device illustrated here with, when applied to the end of'a ve- hicle tongue, prevents the neckyoke from slipping off and may thus avert a disastrous runaway, writes Thos, L. Parker !n Popular Mechanics. It 1s made’ by bending a piece of 4-Inch rod, about 4 inches long, at right an- gles and drilling a hole through it in the bend. This is attached to the under side of the tongue by an fron strap, fastened around the wood so that the rear angle hangs down and the forward angle lfes parallel with Neckyoke Lock. the tongue. When the ring of the neckyoke {s passing over the end of the tongue the lock {s tilted forward and then drops back In position as shown, after the ring is in place.
