The nurse is often brought TO closer OBJ
servation of the effect of any medicine than
the doctor himself. In constant attendance
upon the patient day and night, he observes
the effect of every dose of medicine, while
the doctor only sees the patient occasionally
and must rely, more or less, upsn the re.
ports of the nurse. Pe-ru-na is in high favor
with the nurses. 1t is specific for catarrhal
diseases of all varieties 1t cures catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh
of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the kidneys, and that form of catarrh so

RUSSIA NOT UNFRIENDLY.
Emperor Nicholas Not Disturbed at the
Ultimate Destiny of the Philippine Is
iands-Feels Cordial Toward Us.

WASHINGTON, May Z. "A leading
Russian diplomat said yesterday that
the cable report from London stating
that Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, was
much disturbed as to the ultimate
destiny of the Philippines, and that
some sort of immediate Intervention
was probable, was entirely unwarrant-
ed and placed Russia in a misleading
position before the people of this
country. lie says the sentiment
throughout Russia, official and unofii-
cial, one of extreme cordiality to-
ward the United States, and it shows
there will be no change in the tradi-
tional friendship existing between the
United States and Russia.

Out OF this vast number of men, the

enlistments in the regular army may be

O monument TO prohibition still stands.
Shortly after the incorporation of the
prohibitory amendment in the Kansas
constitution, and during Gov. John p.
st. Johns regime, number of prohibit
tion leaders concluded that il would be
a good scheme to plant some trees in
the state house grounds as monu-
ment to prohibition. Then the two
could grow up together. While the
trees in growing older would spread
their boughs and protect the passing
pilgrims from the rays Of hot sum-
mer's sun, so would prohibition, as.
years rolled by, expand until it's bene-
ficent effects covered sunny Kansas and
brought joy to the hearts OF her people.
Gov. ST. John set apart holiday for
that special purpose, and with appro-
pirate services a dozen or more forest
trees of different varieties were planted.
Every attention was paid them during
the st. John administration. and they
rooted and began 10 grow nicely. But
when st. John vacated the office Of gov
ernor the trees, like stepchildren, were
soon neglected. They were not treated

but they kept on growing just the same.
They just wouldn't die. BY some
strange coincidence, as public interest
in st. John disappeared gradually, SO
