'Entire System
Mr. Chas. L. Bauer, Grand Scribe,
Grand Encampment I, 0. 0. F. of Tex
as, and Assistant City Auditor, writes
from theOity Hall, Ban Antonio, Tex.:
"Nearly two years ago I accepted a
position as secretary and treasurer with
one of the leading dry goods establish
ments of Galveston, Tex.
"The sudden change from a high and
dry altitude to sea level proved too
much for me and I became afflicted
with catarrh and cold in the head, and
general debility to such an extent as to
almost incapaciate me for attending to
my dutiep.
"I was induced to try Peruna, and after
taking several bottles in small doses I am
pleased to say that I was entirely restored
to my normal condition and have ever since
recommended the use of Peruna to my
. friends."
Almost Human.
'Why, Antonio," said the horrified mat
ron, who had tossed a 5-cent piece at the
monkey, "does he always put a coin in
his mouth when he picks it tip?"
"Not his mout', signers." corrected the
organ grinder. "Her mout'."

BLOATED WITH DROPSY.
The Heart Was Badly Affected When
the Patient Began Using
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415
West Fourth St., Olympia, Wash., says:
"For over three
years I suffered
with a dropsical
condition with
out being aware
that it was due
to kidney trou
ble. The early
stages were
principally
backache and
bearing down
pain, but I went
along without worrying much until
dropsy set in. My feet and ankles
swelled up, my hands puffed and be
came so tense I could hardly close
them. I had great difficulty in breath
ing, and my heart would flutter with
the least exertion. I could not walk
far without stopping again and again
to rest. Since using four boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has
gone down and the feelings of distress
have disappeared."

It is the general Idea that man Is a
wonderful work a perfect work but
as Haeckel and comparative anatomy
point out the human body Is, as a mat

ing many necessaries and crowded
with superfluities, with obsolete mus
cles and nerves, which have become
shriveled and paralyzed because there
Is no longer any use for them. It Is
amusing to think of improvements that

Take the eyes. The two eyes are
very good in their way, but If there
were three of them how much better
It would be. If man bad an eye in the
back of his head, as certain Insects
have, he would never be run down,
never be stabbed from behind, never
be kicked. Man, with three eyes, could
see and do twice as niucbTas now.

If the teeth endured there would be
little fault to find with them. But like
the hair, they fall man long before the

If, like some birds, men had indestruct

lowed their food whole, letting the glz
zard grind it up gradually. This would
not destroy the pleasure of eating. On
the contrary, it would Increase It. There
would be nerves of taste In the gizzard,
and thus the eating pleasure would be
greatly prolonged. The food would be
swallowed in a Jiffy, and afterward,
as man attended to bis work, be would
get for many hours pleasant tastes

He sometimes forgot a face.
"Have you any call' for a stirring
man in the advertising denartment of
your business" he asked one morn
ing, when he bad gained access to the
office of the inventor of some tin spe
cialties.
The man at the desk looked at him
and then dropped his eyes.
"No," he said, shortly, "but I can tell
you exactly where there's a call for
Just such a man as you are."
"Yes?" said the promoter. "I should
be glad to bear of it"
"It's up in Banktown, Vermont" said
the Inventor. "The call comes from
the grocer and the provision dealer and
