4 ka KIDNEY TROUBLE Suffered Two Years Relieved In Three R. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky., v7rites: “I have suffered with kidney and Other trouble for ten years past. “Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain.» “I believe that I am well and I there- fore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna.” Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: “Thad not been well for about four years, I had kidney trouble, and, ia fact, felt badly nearly all the time. “This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to youand began at once to take Perna and Manalin. “I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and vow I feel better than I have for some time. “IT feel that Pernna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna.” It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. ‘They must be active allthe time, else the system suffers. They are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly the sort of a rem- edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser- vice at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens.

Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep— Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. “I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were:the worst in the winter time, and were. always itchy, and I could net keep from seratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itch- ing. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now.

Flower Design on Front of Blouse Has Caught the Fancy of Those Who Seek Originality. Weary of embroidered blouses in French work, in eyelet and in shadow work, the girl who can have what she wants looks listlessly around for an inspiration which will tell her what she does want, says a writer in the New York Herald. The shops are full of these oft told tales of embroid- ery, and no new idea comes to her. It seems to be lurking on the horizon, or just over it, where she cannot see it. It must be something novel, some- thing most effective and rich. And then she sees it! A friend has seen something which gave her the idea and has adopted it to her own use. And, joy of joys! It is a kind of work which may be done on the beach, on the veranda, while waiting for the mail, by electric light, and, in- deed, in any moment that is free from other joys and duties. It is strikingly effective and yet so simple in construction as to be almost childish. And this is what it is: Any effective flower design is stamped on the front of a blouse—a sheer lawn or handkerchief linen one —and over this is basted a piece of heavy Brussels net. The edges are cut away at the outline of the whole design. If there is no outline at the edge of the design carry lines of stems or leaves around to meet, so that when embroidered the edge of the net shall be covered and securely anchored there by the stitches. Next stuff or pad the flower and leaf forms thickly with embroidery cotton or darning cotton and work solidly over them with a rather coarse mereerized thread. The work stands up beauti- fully and gives a very rich effect. When the embroidery is finished the lawn is cut away at the back, leaving the embroidered design as if worked directly on the net. Such flower forms as honeysuckle, chrysanthemums, daisies, slim tiger lilies—in fact, any flower with a long narow petal—are best. The embroid- ery stitch is carried across the petal the narrowest way. Itis best to avoid too long stitches, as they are liable to catch and pull. For this reason, when working leaves it is a good plan to stuff the two sides from the center vein separately, and to em- broider these two parts with a distinct line of division down the center. This makes more variety in the work and the short stitches wear best. The stuffing stitches lies in the opposite direction to the embroidery ones al- ways. The same idea may be carried out on the collar and cuffs. There may be also a little embroidery on the top of each sleeve. A complete yoke of this net embroidery is very effective, and the work goes very quickly. Even an impatient girl who loves to be “on the go,” playing tennis, boating or swim- ming, may on rainy days accomplish this and be elated at the possession of a blouse quite different from those worn by her friends. A simple method of using the net is to stamp a design suitable for cut work and buttonhole the edges of the design. IN MATTERS OF HEADGEAR. Downward or Upward Brim Is the Question to Decide. Dip brims fight steadily to retain their hold upon feminine favor, and it will be some months before the bat- tle between the downward and up- ward effect will be definitely decided. One thing, however, is certain. Wide brims are bound to prevail for all headgear to be worn with elaborate gowns, and a marked feature of their trimming is the tendency to use light flowers and ribbons on dark hats and vice versa, as is the case of a black hat trimmed with rose ribbon and roses to be worn with rose crepe gown, and with a white felt hat trimmed with black plumes and vel- vet. Flowers will be seen on many of the hats made of heavy materials, usually matching in tint the other trimmings. The milliner’s bow has of late become a wonderful and eccen- tric production.. At times it is a myriad of short loops and ends, on other occasions it lies stiffly and flatly like a bird’s wing against the crown, and, again, plaited in clusters, it forms bulky loops, accented by a handsome buckle. Concerning Coats. Of the making of coats there is no end. Long, short, medium, tight-fitting, with collars and without. They are shown with long sleeves and with short, single-breasted and double-breasted. When the season had advanced the separate coat will be seen in some one of the many remarkable imita- tions of fur fabrics which manufac turers and importers are preparing for women. Broadcloth, with or without fur lining, is to enjoy another season of coat utility. Black will undoubtedly prove the most popular color for aver- age wear, with white and pastel tints for carriage use. PRETTY BUCKLE SLIDE. i Buckle slide of white embroidered linen. Foundation of heavy cardboard and several thicknesses of buckram. Hasty Engagements. Nine times out of ten when a girl’s parents oppose her marriage they have some excellent reason for their oppo- sition. From their experience of life and its handicaps they know that the young man is not ready to shoulder the responsibilities of married life. Orperhaps they realize that he is not the man to make their willful little daughter happy. No girl should be- come formally engaged to a man until her parents have met him and passed judgment upon him. JACKET FOR YOUNG GIRL. Tight-Fitting Garment Smart in Vei- vet or Velveteen. A little tight-fitting jacket like this may be made of the same material as the skirt, or in cloth that may be worn with any skirt; it also looks smart in velvet or velveteen. It is quite tight-fitting, fastening below the bust with buttons and buttonholes. The collars and revers are faced with silk and ornamented with silk and velvet appliques. The band that fin- ishes the wrists of the coat sleeve matches the collar. Turban-shaped hat of fancy straw, trimmed with ribbon and a feather mount. ‘Materials required for jacket: 1% yards 48 inches wide, 3% yards lining silk, one-half yard silk for collar and revers. DICTATES OF FASHION. Dresden and pompadour silk foun- dations are being used for chiffon and voile dresses. Trimming ideas are numberless. Tiny ball drops, tassels and pendants of all descriptions are shown on the new models. Somewhat heavier and rougher goods will be fashionable this fall. Scotch cheviots of fancy design will be much used in the construction of tailored gowns. Two distinctive features may be noted about sleeves. They have much more fulness at the top, some of them even being laid in deep plaits, and they are very ornate, even to the point of fussiness. When one does not have a skirt with a paneled front, a plain gored front is often trimmed with buttons and loops. This adornment sometimes goes to the bottom of the skirt, on both sides; at other times it extends a little below the bips. There appears to be some contro- versy about the wearing of -hatpins. Some say that none should be visible at all; but, on the other hand, the most exquisite designs are seen in wrought gold and colors to harmonize with hat or gown. Hat Trimmings. Hats for sombre-colored tailor-made costumes are an important considera- tion. Preferably they carry bird .plu- mage in the form of wings and b: rather than ostrich feathers, w! be- long rightly to the mauve, white and tan cloth costumes. MERELY MAKING WORK. Target Practice Was Not So Important as It Is Now. “In recent years,” said an ordnance officer, “everything on a war vessel gives way to target practice. The one thing a commander is more interested in than anything else is the record that his men can make at the ranges. But there was a time when the ‘man behind the gun’ was not recognized as the most important element in the efficiency of a fighting ship. be Be illustrate: I was junior officer on the old Essex many years ago. In those days we had a target practice once a quarter. We were forced by regulations to expend so many rounds of ammunition every three months, and—well, that was about all there was to it. It was a perfunctory kind of practice ,and every one was glad when it was over. “One day we went out for the quar- terly practice, anchored the target, and went at it. The targets we used in those days were three planks fas- tened in a triangle, a spar stepped in the center to hold the canvas which formed the target proper. “Now the gun captain of the for- ward pivot rifle was an_ excellent marksman, and on his first trial he sent a shell through the spar, which smashed it into flinders. That, of course, stopped the practice, and out went a boat to tow the wrecked tar- get alongside for repairs. “When it had been patched up, it was towed back to its place, and firing was resumed. “Again the same gunner had the first shot, and again his shell brought down both the spar and the canvas. “The boat was again sent out, but when the repaired target was being towed back to the range, the captain, who was much out of humor by the delay, spoke his mind. “Tell Gunner Blank,’ he ecommand- ed, ‘that if he hits that target again I will put him in the brig!’” Vermont Bear Hunter. Allen Briggs, Jr., of Searsburg is making a record this season as a bear hunter, having brought into town two specimens with the last ten days. Both were bears that in the fall would weigh nearly 200 pounds. At this season the animals are thin in flesh, having been out of their win- ter quarters but a short time, but they are hunted and trapped at this time for the reason that the fur is in its best condition. While the bears are in their dens for the winter the fur has an opportunity to grow to its full length, and if the animal is caught soon after it makes its first. appear- ance in the spring, before it has had opportunities to travel through the brush and ,wear off its coat, the skin will be more valuable than at any other time in the year.

Fishermen Found Revolutionary Gun. John Morgan and other fishermen were surprised Thursday when, upon reaching shore, they found in their net an old flintlock gun. The brand shows the gun to be of English make, and it was no doubt used in the Revolution- ary war or some of the Colonial wars. A silver plate on the gun is as bright, seemingly, as if it had been placed there but yesterday. The flint had been placed and the hammer drawn back in readiness for firing. The gun was found near the mouth of Toussaint creek, a few miles west of the state rifle range, and is in a re- markably good state of preservation, considering the length of time it has probably lain in the water. His Idea of Happiness. At The Players in New York a num. ber of actors were arguing about the meaning of the word “happiness.” In the midst of the argument Henry E. Dixey appeared, and one of the con- testants said: “Dixey, what is your idea of happi- ness?” Mr. Dixey smiled thoughtfully. Then he replied: “My idea of true happiness is to lie on a couch before a bright fire, smok. ing a large Havana cigar given me by an admirer, while I listen to a woman who worships me reading aloud flat- tering press notices about my acting.” Antiseptic Idea. “I don’t mind- paying for a picture if it’s a good natural likeness,” said the rich man to the fashionable ar- tist, to whom he was to sit for his portrait. _ “O, it is quite characteristic and natural, I assure you,” replied the ar- tist. “I flatter myself that easy at- titude with your hand in your pocket is quite a neat touch.” And so it proved when came in. the bill No Over Pressure. “Where have you been lately, little one?

One of the gyeatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkhzin’s Vegetable Com- pound is the corquering of woman’s dread enemy Tumor, ‘ The growth of a tumor is so in- sidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced, So called ‘“‘wandering pains” may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. eR If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- and, made from native roots and erbs, right away and begin its use. The following letters should con- vince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax Ave., South Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “I take great pleasure in writ- ing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medieine removed a cyst tumor of four years’ growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followeda friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made mea strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as | live.” Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 RugglesSt., Boston, Mass., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “T have been under different doctors’ treatment for a long time without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor, my abdomen was swollen and Isuffered with great pain. I wrote to you for advice, you replied and I followed your directions carefully and today Iam a well women. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ex- pelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system.” Mrs. Perry Byers, of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “| was told by my physician that I had a fibroid tumor and that I would have to be operated upon, I wrote to you for advice, which I followed care- fully and took Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I am not only cured of the tumor but other female troubles and can do all my own work aftereigh years of suffering.” Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y¥. writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about a tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound and to-day am @ well woman.” Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs, Pinkham :— “Thad a tumor and Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound removed it for me after two doctors had given me up. I was sick four years before [ began to take the Compound. I now recommend Lydia E Pinkham’s Veget- able Compound far and near.” Such testimony as above is con- vincing evidence that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms as Bearing-down Sensations, Displace- ments, Irregularities and Backache, ete.
