nNSOMNIA is & forerunner Of nervous prostration ; what organism is strong enough to stand up under the strain of sleepless nights? _lt is plain that nothing in the world can.possibly take the place of.restful sleep, yet many try -to eke out an existence without this sustaining power. Their nerves are in such a state of tension that sleep is an impossibility, or at best is a series of hideous dreams. It is not strange that physical and mental

weakness, amounting soon to complete prostration, follows inability to sleep. There is no let-up to the strain. Vital forces are drawn upon, confirmed invalidism results. The recuperative power of natural sleep is wonderful. Complete physical and mental exhaustion gives place, after a few hours of quiet slumber, to a full renewal of energy. The fatigue of body and

An Innovation.

The Louisville and Nashville R. R., together with its connecting lines, has inaugurated the Chicago and Florida Limited, which is a daily, solid train, wide vestibuled, steam heated, gas lighted, with dining car service for all meals en route from Chicago to Thomasville, Ga., Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Fla. The train leaves Chicago over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois tracks at 11:05 a. m., running 'via Evansville, Nashville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Plant System to Jacksonville, Florida > East Coast to St. Augustine, arriving at the latter city at 7:30 the next evening, making the fastest time ever made between these points. This train has annex sleeper leaving St. Louis at 2:15 p. m.. which also runs through. Mr. C. L. Stone, General Passenger Agent, Louisville and Nashville R. R., Louisville, Ky., will answer all inquiries concerning this train and furnish printed matter concerning it.

The Boy’s Room.

The wise parents will always seek to furnish their boy’s with a room more attractive to them than the street-cor-ner, because they realize that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Yes, is worth many pounds of cure; but in order that it may be as attractive the boys must feel at liberty to Invite to their boy friends, and to entertain them there, as the •girls’ friends are entertained in their sisters* room. Then let the boys have a “good time” of their own choosing. They don’t want a prescribed way to play or entertain themselves; they ■want chiefly to be let alone, allowed to play as they choose, and not be nagged at because they are not quieter. Just so long as their noise is a harmless, healthful, “good-time” noise leave them undisturbed. Boys will not endure nagging; it will-drive them from home into the streets more quickly and surely than anything else under the sun. Encourage the boys to feel that their room is their castle, and that they are masters in their own domain.—Woman’s Home Companion.

Insomnia Wrecks the Nerves, Dr. Greene’s NERVURA Makes Health.

mind disappears entirely while all the muscles are strong and the nerves absolutely calm. Sleep is the indication given by Nature as a guide to human plans to restore health. It shows that there are inherent in the wonderful human organism powers of recuperation which must have opportunity to assert themselves. Bajsed on this clear demonstration, Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy was constructed by Dr. Greene to help Nature combat the ills that attack men and women. What no amount of powerful drugs could possibly accomplish, can be successfully and promptly effected by healthy blood and nerves, the kind of blood which flows in strengthening flood to every portion of the body, the condition of nerves which permits awakened Nature to seize its opportunity to restore to perfect health.

Mrs. FLORENCE TAYLOR, of 4 Courtland Place, Bridgeport, Conn., writes:

“ For four years I was troubled With nervous debility and hysteria in a most aggravated form. It caused sleeplessness and mental depression, and for months I was confined to my bed. My constitution wasted and I totally lost my appetite. I had many doctors, but they failed to give me any relief. I was advised to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I was in a terrible condition when I began its use, and almost immediately there was a wonderful change came over me. I regained my appetite, the dizziness in my head departed; it renewed my interest in life and made me feel, in fact, like another person. After taking six bottles I thankfully proclaimed myself strong and well. Those six bottles did for me what hundreds of dollars and numerous physicians failed to do ”

Occupations Open to Women.

Within the last fifteen years schools have sprung up all over the country for the education of women—education both of a general and a special nature —and now a girl chooses a vocation and fits herself for it with as pinch care as her brother gives to the preparation fop. his life-work. But these, I believe, are in the main what may be called “new occupations.” Fifty years ago there were but seven forms of employment open to women—teaching, needlework, work in cottonmills, keeping boarders, type-setting, book-binding and household service. Today there is not a profession or calling, from the ministry, medicine and law to boot-blacking, harboring and streetcleaning, In which women are not engaged and earning good wages.—Woman’s Home Companion.

A Remedy for the Grippe.

Physicians recommend KEMP’S BALSAM as a remedy for patients afflicted with the grip, as it is especially adapted for the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease, but get a bottle to-day* and keep it on hand for use the moment it ia needed. If neglected the grip has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. KEMP’S BALSAM prevents this by keeping the cough loose and the lungs free from inflammation. All druggists sell KEMP’S BALSAM at 25c and 50c.

Formation of Coral Islands.

Prof. Alexander Agassir, who has been investigating the coral islands of the South Pacific, has returned after an expedition lasting several months, with observations that tend to disprove several of .the older theories of the formation of the coral islands and reefs. Prof. Agatslz states that in his opinion the coral forms a crust on some mountain that has sunk into the sea or on sonrte volcanic pile, and In proof of this opinions presents the resuits of borings which in nearly every 'case found the coral to be a comparatively thin layer. The sand, mixing with the coral, makes the reefs, and instead of coral being made, sinking, and then being repfeniehed indefinitely from the surface. Prof. Agassiz considers it a mere cap to submerged mountains and volcanic upheavals.

Too Much Culture.

“Aunt Penelope Wiggins,” as every6ody called her, was visited one summer by a niece from the East, a Vassar College graduate. Ajmt Penelope was one of the most hospitable souls alive, but she was not gfeeatly impressed by the superior learning of her young relative, and one day she freed her mind about her thus: “Talk to me about what a college education does for a girl! What do you suppose Matilda eaid to me the first day she came? She said, Tm so glad to meet you, aunty! You accent your name on the Aunty Penultimate, don’t you?’ Did you ever hear such nonsense? I had to tell her my name wasn’t Aunty Penultimate, but Aunty Penelope, and I thought she would die a-laughing!”

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.

Officer A. C. Swanson of the Council Bluffs Force Tells an Interesting Story. COUNCIL BLUFFS. lowa, Jan. 21, 1901.—(Special.) Kind-hearted Officer Swanson of the local police force is very popular in this city. He has llyed here for seventeen years, and has enjoyed many high offices in social and society work. He is now Vice-President of the “Dannebrog’’ Brotherhood, the largest Danish secret society in America, which combines' benevolent with the social features. Owing to the constant exposure and many hours on his feet, which his duty as a Police Officer makes unavoidable, Mr. Swanson became the victim of serious Kidney and Liver Trouble. He was very bad, but has entirely recovered. He gives the story in his own words as follows: “I have been a sufferer for many years with Kidney and Liver Trouble, and have tried many remedies, some of which gave me temporarily relief, and others w'hich were absolutely worthless. I began to think that there was no help for me, when my nephew gave me a part of a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills which he had left, saying that it would do no harm to try them, as they had certainly fixed him all right. What he gave me helped me so much that I felt justified in purchasing more, and I grew slowly better. It took almost two months to effect a complete cure, as mine was a very bad case, but I can cheerfully and truthfully say that I am a well man to-day, and I am very grateful that Dodd’s Kidney Pills were thus brought to my notice.” The wonderful cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills in lowa have ere* ated quite a sensation in some parts of the State. There does not seem to be any case of Lame Back, Rheumatisnfi. Kiuney or Bladder Trouble which these wonderful Pills cannot cure. They are certainly popular here, and the sale through the local druggists is very large.

The Reason Why.

“So you’re going to be married again? To whom?” “To my late wife’s sister.” “Is she handsome or rich?” “Neither.” “Then why do you marry her?” 1, “To tell the truth, its because I want only one mother-in-lawHeitere Welt.

Bullet Through His Head.

An English paper prints the following extract from a letter written by an officer of unimpeachable veracity: “Yesterday we had another instance of the remarkable endurance and vitality of savage races. It is not very nice family reading, but I must tell it to you, as it seems to me to be such a really marvelous instance of endurance. Yesterday morning a kaffir was admitted into our lines with bis head lacerated most terribly. He actually walked into camp with a hole right through his head and his brain protruding through the W’ound and dried on to his forehead by the sun. He was a fearful sight. We handed him over to the doctor, to whom he afterward stated that he had walked all the way from a Boer laager about twenty miles away. He had had a quarrel with his master, a Boer on commando, w ho as a punishment had broken his thumb with a sjambok and afterward placed a revolver to the back of bis head and fired a bullet through it The native was left in a donga for dead, but after lying senseless for three days, exposed to the sun and flies by day and the cold by night, he actually walked the whole distance without food until he reached our camp. Our doctor takes it as an affront to medical knowledge that the man should fee alive and has sent him to the hospital at Standerton for examination by the medical staff there.”

Stingless Bee.

A small stingless bee Is found in the state of Sinaloa and in Tepic. The honey of this bee is not in great quantity, is dark-colored, very liquid, and is said not to crystallize. Another peculiarity of the honey is that it has a decidedly sour, or tart, taste, and on this account it is much sought after as being a greater delicacy than the sweet honey of the tame bee. The reason these bees are small producers is that, as they are stingless, they are constantly robbed by the larger varieties, the tame bee being one of the robbers.

First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga., and Its Pastor and Elder.

The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medniiyes for publication. This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest njen in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian Church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in bis family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: “Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth. My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble

Rossman, a prominent merchant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian Church of that placty has used Peruna, and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: “For a long time I was troubled withcatarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave me no reliefPeruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after nsing a few bottles ! am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I an» now enjoying better health than I havw for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted.
