For the
Children
To succeed these days you
must have plenty of grit, cour
age, strength. How is it with
the children? Are they thin,
pale, delicate ? Do not forget
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. You
know it makes the blood pure
and rich, and builds 'up the
general health in every way.
The children cannot possibly have (rood
health unless the bowels ere In proper condi
tion. A sluggish liver gives coated tongue,
bad breath, constipated: bowels. Correct all
these by (riving small laxative doses of Ayer's
Pill. All vegetable, sugar-coated.

Hated to Do It,
During the last congressional cam
paign the candidates for the honor of
representing a certain East Tennessee
district, says the Washington Post,
gathered to meet the voters' at a coun
try courthouse.
There was a rough-looking old moun
taineer in the audience. He looked
over the aspirants on --the platform
with a critical eye. One of them had
done him several favors, and he felt in
duty bound to vote for him.
"Not a very promising lot, are
they?" he remarked in an audible
whisper to a man three seats away.
"Them's only the kind we used to run
for constable when I was a boy,
Thars my candidate that yaller-
headed chap, third from this eend. I've

It is literally true that a new broom
sweeps clean. If a new broom is exam
ined, the ends of the straws will be
found to be straight - and the brush
square. After it has been used a while
the ends split and become sharp, and the
shape of the brush becomes irregular. To
renew the youth of the broom dip in hot
soapsuds and trim the softened straws
to the proper shape.
United States Great Wealth.
. The world transacts its business, ac
cording to the annual report of the di
rector of the United States mint, on a
stock of gold money amounting to $5,
600,000,000. Of that total, the United
States possesses $1,300,000,000. That
means that in this republic, with about
one-twentieth of the population of the
world, we have almost one-quarter of
all the gold money there is.

ldzards that Walk on Two Feet.
. Lizards of several sorts can walk
and run easily bn their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which is three
or four feet in length, keeps quite erect
when traversing long distances on'
land. It is found in the neighborhood
of river banks and passes much of its
time in shallow water. .
The frilled lizard of Queensland-also
travels . on its hind legs on level
ground,' keeping the frill folded while
running. When attacked it expands
this fold of skin, which stands out like
a ruff at right angles round the neck,
giving it a formidable aspect, so that
dogs that attack and kill larger liz
ards will often retreat before a frilled
lizard at bay.
There is also a tree lizard in Aus
tralia that moves' in a similar way.
All these species walk on all fours
when merely moving about or going
short distances.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve cen
ters are the reservoirs of nervous vitality
These centers become bloodless for want
of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every Bpring a host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of
weak nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of
the difficulty by correcting the diges
tion. Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nurishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among wo
men, especially those who have voca
tions that are trying to the nerves.
Buy a bottle of Peruna today. If you :
do not receive all the benefits froht Pc- :

elastic movement, the smooth, soft skin, glowing with
health, a body sound and well, an active brain, good
appetite and digestion, refreshing sleep, energy to per
form the duties and capacity to enjoy the pleasures of
life. The blood is the most vital Dart of the hod v
every organ, muscle, tissue, nerve, sinew and bone is dependent on it for
nourishment and strength, and as it circulates through the system, pure and
strong, it furnishes to these different parts all the healthful qualities nature
intended. When, from any cause, the blood becomes impure or diseased, it
tells a different story, quite as forceful in its way. Itching, burning skin
diseases, muddy, sallow complexions, disfiguring sores, boils, carbuncles,
etc., show the presence, in the blood, of some foreign matter or poison.
Rheumatism, Catarrh, Contagious Blood Poison and Scrofula, are effects of
a deeply poisoned blood circulation. These may either be inherited or ac
