''The representatives of the new

A FINE FALL EXPOSITION.
Wanamaker & Brown Open Their AutumnaI
Season With Flattering Outlook.

NdndhdkeT DTOWn Open lnelr AutuHnal
Season With Flattering Outlook.
1t will be seen by reference to the
advertisement of Wanamaker Il Brown
i'll another part of to-day's issue, that
the Fall outlook for that great house
is most suspicious. Wanamaker &
Brown enjoy the distinction of having
the oldest and greatest clothing house
in the United States, or more correctly
perhaps, the world, for no European
house can rival them in the magnitude
of their manufacturing and retailing
business.
The firm was established nearly forty
years ago, and since its inception has
continued steadily at the head of the
clothing procession. During this time
the house has transacted more than
sixty million dollars worth of bust
ness.
The firm sticks to the time-honored
practice of making everything. 1t
knows everything it sells. Selling a
thing you don't know through
and through, may be eminently
respectable, commercially, but Wan
amaker & Brown prefer to hew
closer to the line. Every bit of
cloth that goes into their store is
inspected by men who have become
veterans in the service; every yard of
goods is sponged in a room where mil
lions of yards have been sponged. And
when at last the suit is placed on the
sales table, it is perfect in every seam,
in every bit of lining, in every stay,
in every buttOn-in every respect.
That's the best advertising that Wan
amaker & Brown say they can get.
During the past two years the wo-
mems and misses departments have
grown phenomenally, and they are
now doing an immense business. The
Wanamaker & Brown tailor made suits
for ladies at famously little prices are
said to be particularly handsome.

WORCESTER GUNNERS.
Sportsman's Club Has Good
Things for Them
This Year.

Secretary Arthur w. Walls has outlined
an attractive program for the season of
the Worcester Sportsman's Club at the
traps, and the first shoot of the season is
slated for Tuesday afternoon, shooting to
begin at / o'clock A meeting of the eX-
ecutive committee of the club was called
for last night at A B. f. Kinneys store,
for the purpose of arranging details of
the seasons program, but only three
members were present, not sufficient for a
quorum, and no business was done.
This leaves Mr. Walls with absolutely
no power to go ahead with the proposed
schedule, and matters appear to be at a
standstill until the executive committee
comes out Of it's state Of lethargy. A vote
was passed at the first meeting of the
committee to hold ten club shoots begin
ming the first Tuesday in May and to fol-
low every other Tuesday through the
summer. On the strength of this vote,
Secretary Walls Will go ahead and ar
range one of the old-time programs for
Tuesdays opening shoot, and will submit
it to the individual members of the COM
mittee for approval.
For the season Of sport at Sportsman S
Club Park, Mr.. Walls has one of the most
attractive programs ever offered by the
club. The sum of 800 has been sub
scribed by individuals for a series Of han
dicap events at the regular CLUB shoots.
This money will be offered in ten monies,
one man up system. This style of shoot
ing has not been used at the club traps
for a number of years outside of team
races and trophy events, while handicap
ping has practically dropped into disuse
at the North pond traps. On every pro-
gram offered for a club shoot throughout
the summer a portion of the money will
be offered to be shot for at handicaps
ranging from IA to 20 yards After the
first shoot and at each succeeding shoot
handicaps will be readjusted and the
shooters brought together into proper
position to insure the warmest kind of
close races for the purse money. These
handicap races will be sandwiched into
the regular program, and will be open 20
all club members and all Worcester coun-
ty guns.
1t is planned to hold at least five open
tournaments during the season. Last
years tournaments called to Worcester
many of the most famous trapshooters of
New England and the popularity of the
old club will be sustained with little diff
Guilty among the professionals. dozen
trap enthusiasts of Whittnsville and Tx
bridge who shot at the latter town last
year, after a lengthy debate over the rel
ative merits of Worcester and Woon-
socket have decided to shoot this season
at Sportsman's Club Park, and this will
materially add to the crowd at the regu-
lar club shoots
The causeway leading to the clubs
grounds is still under water and from
present appearances will be Tuesday. but
the club will make provision either by
bathing suits. rubber suits or diving bells
to accommodate every shooter who at
tends and to safely land him on the island
with dry cartridges. This is guaranteed.

Pe-ru-na is not q cure-all. Nothing Of
the sort is claimed for it; indeed, there
is no such medicine. Pe-ru-na cures ca
tarrh wherever located in the body by
its specific action on the vasa-motor sys-
tenn of nerves. These nerves control
every blood vessel of the body, regulat-
ing exactly the amount of blood which
is allowed to flow through them.
It is claimed for Pe-ru-na only that it
restores the efficient action of the vasa-
motor system of nerves. This is all it
will do. This is all that we claim 1t viii
do. But we insist that if it is taken per-
sistently and according to directions that
1t will do this. But In doing this what
vast multitude of disorders is miti-
gated, not because Pe-ru-na is a cure-all,
but because so many maladies depend
upon q single cause. Pe-ru-na is single
in its effect. %

Two CHICAGO SENATORS
Tell a Straight Story About Catarrh
and Pe-ru.na.

Chronic catarrh- often makesIits APP
proach in disguise. Before person
knows it ne may become victim OF
chronic catarrh. Its onset may be grad
ual, its development insidious, and at
last the victim finds himself in the
clutches Of q tenacious disease. A slight
cold, a tendency to sneeze, pufiness in
the nose and head, fuilness or cracking
in the ears, stringy mucus in the throat,
slight cough or wheeziness, snoring dur
ing sleep-any one of these symptoms
should be regarded as a warning.
What can be cured in the beginning in
a week or two, by using Pe-ru-na, if al
lowed to become chronic, may require
months of faithful treatment. You had
better take Pe-ru-na now, for by and by
you may be obliged to take it a long
time in order to get well. Pe-ru-na is
the remedy for catarrh; almost every
body knows that by hearsay, and thous-
ands know it by blessed experience.
Two Senators from the great metrop-
oils, Chicago, have something to say in
regard to Pe-ru-na:
