Hep T ra n sfo rm a tio n . She drank quantities of water, ate & lot o f starchy foods, •> Abstained from exercising every day; She assimilated lactic and a case of malted goods, But it seemed her fate to have to fade away. She so mourned attenuation, with a vis age like an owl’s, That a smile upon her face was never seen; W hile below her mouth were wrinkles, and above her eyes were scowls. And her nose was like a hatchet in be tween. But one day she fell to laughing in a strange, hysteric way, Just in thinking how ridiculous it« proved; And it mellowed to a cackle that was sane enough, they say, T ill at last she giggled every time she moved. W hy, she chuckled out her wrinkles, and she snickered off her frowns, And then took to all the things she shouldn’ t do; N ow she’s grown as fat as butter, and has outgrown all her gowns; But she laughs away at that disaster, too. — W oman’s Home Companion. P ro testin g Against Rate Reduction. A tlan ta, G a.— The recent proposition of J. Pope Brown, chairman of the G eorgia Railroad commission, to re duce the passenger rate in Georgia from three to two cents per m ile was protest ed against by the Botherhood of Loco m otive Engineers, the Order of R a il way Conductors, and unions o f the blacksmiths, machinists and telegra phers, boiler makers, railway irain men, carpenters and joiners, clerks and car men. These organizations employ- e l an attorney especially to represent them, who urged that such a reduction would work against the prosperity of the state and lead to a reduction in the number o f railroad employes as w ell as o f th eir wages. T h e Travelers’ P ro tective association also protested that a reduction as proposed would result in few er trains and poorer service.

A JUDGE’S WIFE A ll Important food articles except j sugar and coffee are higher at the present time than the average for the 10-year period from 1890 to 1900, says a writer in Pearson’s. In looking back upon the course o f prices since 1890 It is interesting to discover (from fig ures compiled by the governm ent) that In that year $1 would buy seven and four-fifths pounds o f fresh beef, while to-day it w ill purchase only six and four-fifths pounds. That amount o f money In 1890 would buy ten pounds o f salt beef; to-day nine pounds. Of salt pork in 1800 it would buy nine and a h alf pounds; to-day a little over seven pounds. One dollar in 1890 would purchase seven and a quarter pounds o f chickens; to-day less than six and a quarter pounds. I t would buy ten pounds o f fresh fish In 1890; to-day nine and a third pounds. In 1890 it would pay for five dozen and four eggs; to-day for only four dozen and three. One dollar in 1890 would buy nearly 17 quarts o f m ilk; to-day less than 16 quarts. It would purchase in 1890 four and a quarter pounds o f butter; to-day only three and three- quarter pounds. One dollar in 1890 was a fa ir equivalent for six and a third pounds o f cheese; to-day it w ill purchase h alf a pound less. To-day $1 w ill buy less than eight and a h alf pounds o f lard; in 1890 it would pay for nearly 11 pounds. O f cornmeal to-day you can purchase for that sum 3 8 ^ pounds; in 1890 you could get 40Vfc pounds.

MONftOC DRUG CO. |uack eye doctor* PUTNAM PAIN IN THE BACK AND SIDE Quickly Cured by a Short Course of Pe-ru-na. M R S . M IX N IE E. M c A L U S T E R , w ife of Judge M cA llister, writes from 1217 W est 33rd street, M inneapolis, M inn., as follows: “ I suffered for years with a pain in the «mall o f my back and right side. It inter fered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor’s medicine did not seem ts help me any. “ Fortunately a member o f our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that T decided to try it. Althou gh I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that. I felt encouraged. “ I took it fa ith fu lly for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am en tirely cured. “ Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna, I enjoy that now.” Pain in the back, or on the righ t side. H ow often a physician hearg this com plaint 1 Over and over we hear women say; “ I have a pain in the small of my back. I have a pain in my righ t side, just be low the rib s.” These symptoms indicate pelvic or abdominal catarrh. They indicate that the bowels are not acting properly— that the liv e r is out of order — that the pelvic organs are congested. P elvic catarrh— that is the name for it. Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, when ad o f these symptoms disappear. The catarrh may be all in the ab dominal organs, when it would be prop erly called abdominal catarrh. A t any rate, it is one of those cases of internal catarrh which can be reached only by a course of treatment with Peruna. W e have on file thousands of testi monials sim ilar to the above. I t is impossible here to give our readers more than one or two specimens of the number of grateful and comn e idatory letters Dr. llartm an is constantv re ceiving in liehalf of his famous cuturrh remedy, Peruna.

A H opeless F ight It is as impossible to conquer the king of diseases— Contagious Blood Poison— with Mer cury and Potash as it would be to conquer the king of the forest in a hand-to-hand encounter, as thousands who have had their health ruined and lives blighted through the use of these min erals will testify. They took the treatment faith fully, only to find when it was left off, the dis ease returned with more power, combined with the awful effects of these minerals, such as mercurial rheumatism, necrosis of the bones, salivation, inflammation of the stomach and bowels, etc. When the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters the blood it quickly con taminates every drop of that vital fluid, and every muscle, nerve, tissue and bone becomes affected, and soon the foul symptoms of sore mouth and throat, copper-colored blotches, falling hair and eyebrows, swollen glands, sores, etc., make their appearance. Mercury and Potash can only cover up these evidences for awhile; they cannot cure the disease. S. S. S. has for many years been recognized as a specific for Contagious Blood Poison— a perfect antidote for the deadly virus that is so far-reaching in its effects on the sys tem. S. S. S. does not hide or mask the disease, but so thoroughly and completely cures it that no signs are ever seen again. S. S. S. while eradicating the poison of the disease will drive out any effects of harmful mineral treat ment. A reward of f 1,000.00 is offered for proof . that S: S.
