taken sick went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we

given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed TO be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick so short a time as myself and
family. After we were all we'll we had
one bottle Of Pe-ru-na left.

Then and Now.

The great change in travelling
made in the last half century is
hardly appreciated. The Licking
ton Herald published the following
letter from J. II. Tevis, of Polk
county, Mo-, which illustrates this
point quite forcibly:
"In March, 1916, my mother and

horses were considered safe for

wooden ones. They thought at
that day that it was very rapid
transit. From Frankfort we floated
down the Kentucky river on a fat
boat to the Ohio river, and there
took a boat to Carlo, where we

GATACRE'S MISTAKES.

Lord Roberts Report on the Defeat at

London, March l6.-7.45 p. m.-Lord
Roberts, In transmitting Gan. Gatacre's
report Of the Stormberg defeat gives his
opinion thus:
"The failure was mainly due to reii-
ance on inaccurate Information regarding
the ground TO te. .trayarsei to the position
held by the Beers, to the employmen Of
too small. force and to the men being
tired out by long night march before
they came in contact with the enemy.
When 1t became evident shortly after
midnight that the guides were leading
the column In the wrong direction con-
slider Gatacre should have halted and en-
deavored TO find q proper road, or should
have fallen back on Molteno rather than
have risked the safety Of the entire force
by following q route which brought the
troops into difficult ground commanded
ON both sides BY Beers.

Believed Danes Are Holding for
Higher Price.
Negotiations Will Not
Be Hastened.
Finances of Islands Showed
Deficit Last Year.

Washington, March 16.-It is learned
that the purpose of the government to
acquire the island of st. Thomas for a
reasonable consideration from Denmark,
has not been abandoned, Notwithstanding
the statements attributed to the Danish
ministers indicating a decision not to
part with the island. While it is not
contemplated that any pressure shall be
brought to bear upon Denmark on this
matter, 1t is still believed that the late
announcement in the case is perhaps
only an evidence of purpose on the
part of the Danish authorities to secure
a higher price for tho island than the
United States had regarded as proper.
1t is probable that no active effort will
be made by our government to hasten
the negotiations on the subject but hay-
ing learned that the finances of the is
land showed a deficit last year of $75, 900
in spite of the most rigid economy in the
administration, sum charged up
against the home government, it is
believed that our terms win ultimately
be accepted If reduced to concrete
proposition to pay $3,0O0,00O for st.
Thomas and st. Cruze.
