An Endemic Of SMALLPOX.

An epidemic of smallpox in Mason
county seems inevitable. Nearly all
the physicians of Ludingtou were
called to Scottville and Custer on the
I'd and the report is made with author
ity that in those two villages nearly 10
persons are suffering from smallpox.
The disease has been rampant for
about three weeks, but, being mild in
form, was mistaken for chicken-poX.
The announcement made by the doc
tors has caused the greatest consterna-
ton. For the preseny no trains will
be allowed to stop at Custer village,
where there are about Is cases. Schools
and churches are closed and all BUSH
ness suspended, The how'd has liter
ally been converted into big pest
house and under the rules of quaran-
tine no one will be allowed to enter or
leave. Scores of people in all parts of
the county have been exposed, and it
is feared the worst is yet to come.

Chronic Coughs and
Colds Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts a black shadow of despair over
all lands. It's stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes il dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
1t chang ) the merry laugh of child
hood TO the wheezy breathing Of
Group. and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In It's whitening grasp the
rounded form of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns 10 the sailow, haggard visage OF
the invalid.
Cough takes the place OF conversa-
ton, speech gives way to splitting, the
repulsive odors of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss OF the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight, impair hearing and destroy
taste.

They will be most elaborate in their

MRS. r. j. LYNCH.

Like the plague-stricken Egyptians
q cry of distress has gone out from
every household, and the mildew OF
woe clings to every hearthstone.
Catarrh in some form, catarrh in
some stage turks as an enemy in the
slightest cough or cold and finishes
its fendish work in heart disease and
consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ Of the
body escapes its ravages; muscles
wither, nerves shatter, and secretions
dry up under its blighting presence.
So stubborn and difficult Of cure is
this disease that to invent a remedy
to cure chronic catarrh has been the
ambition of the greatest minds in all
ages. Is 1t therefore any wonder that
the vast multitude Of people who have
been cured Of chronic catarrh by Pc
runa are so lavish in their praise OF
this remedy? That the discovery OF
Peruna has made the cure of catarrh
a practical certainty is not only the
testimony of the people, but many
medical men declare il to be true.
AS a drug store in this age of tho
world is incomplete without Peruna,
1t can be obtained anywhere with d.
rections for use. A complete guide
for the prevention and cure of ca
tarrh and all diseases of winter, sent

AT EAST LAvINGrOn.
The Grave OF Cartiuai Msnning's wifs
IL Neglected, "a


Some interesting passages in the
early life Of Cardinal Manning are
recalled by a writer in the Sunday
Strand. We are told that to the end
Of his life Manning had flowers sent
to him every spring and summer from
little village in Sussex-East LAYING
ton by name. why casks the writer)
should the great cardinal receive flow
ers from this little place? The an
swer lies in the fact that from the
early summer OF 1888 to the end OF
1850 he was rector OF the parish, and
that for four of these years (1S33-3)
he enjoyed married life there so per-
fectly happy that from the day his
wife died down to that upon which
he himself folded his hands and closed
his eyes for the last time on earth,
he could never even trust himself to
breathe her name to a living soul"
Mrs Manning was Caroline, the third
Of the four daughters of the Rev. John
Sargent. One OF her sisters was wife
of the Rev. Samuel WHEREFORE, after
wards the well-known bishop. This
grave is neglected today. 1t is almost.
the writer says, the only one in the
little churchyard that has neither
stone nor cross upon 1t, and its turf
Is fast moldering away: ut was
Mannings wish that 1t should be so.
Late in life he told his friend and
biographer-the late Edmund Purcell
that he had received letter from
the churchwardens announcing that
the grave was falling into decay. and
asking for Instructions as to putting
II and keeping it in order His reply
was: 1t is best so. Let 1t be. Time
effaces all things But he was mis-
taken. Time had not effaced, nor will
II efface, the memory OF that brief
idyll." The house at Lavington-
which was Manning's home-is now
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. r. G. Will
berforce and their family. 1t was Mrs.
WHEREFORE who, in old age. sent the
cardinal day by day flowers from Law

AN ENEMY TO DRINK.



Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 3.-(Spe-
ciaD-When the Independent Order OF
Good Templars of Minnesota wanted
a State Organizer they chose Mrs.
Laura j. Smith, of 1917 West 33d
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far TO seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life to battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her in
fiuence for good in Minnesota is and
has been very far reaching.
About two years ago however, it
seemed as If this noble woman would
have TO give up her philanthropic
work. Severe pains in her back and
under her shoulder blades, made life
a burden and work impossible. Physi-
clans were consulted, and they pre-
scrse~,,s for Kidney Disease. Three
months treatment however failed to
give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus-
band was much exercised, and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife to health and
strength. He heard of the cures eff
fected by Dodds Kidney Pills and adj
vised her to try them. which she did.
She is now a well woman and says:
Two weeks after | commenced TAX
Ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, l felt much
better, and at the end OF seven weeks
was completely cured. l have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but take
pill off and on, and find that it keeps
me in good health"
Dodds Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at so cents box.
