To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy. Peruna, comes as great
boon. Not only Is 1t more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but 1t is
within the reach Of every person In
this land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store, and is a remedy
without equal for catarrh in all
forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis. con-
sumption, and ell climatic diseases OF
winter.
Peruna is not guess. nor an ex-
pertinent; it is an absolute, scien-
tific certainty Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has NO
substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as well. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pc
runa.

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one OF tle
most prevalent and universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in
some of its many phases ana stages
Add to this the tact that ca,arrh IA D
idly tends to become fixed or chronic.
also the further fact that it is ca
pable OF producing a great many
other diseases, and we begin to real
ize the true nature OF this dread dis
ease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any
size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment of ca
tarrh a speciality. OF course a great
deal of good is accomplished in this
way, but as yet a comparatively
small number of the people can a yail
themselves of this treatment be-
cause of the great expense necessa-
rily attached to it.

MONEY IN PATENTS
The Progressive DEVELOPMENT OF
American Inventive Genius.
About ono Invention In rs Pays Tor
the Expense of Patenting IT, nut
Some of Them Reap Consid-
cradle Fortunes.

An article by the late E. V. Smalley
in the Century, tells how patents
are taken out in Washington, what
they cost, and what some OF them
yield to the inventors.
The progressive development OF in
ventive genius in this country, as in
dicated by the number of patents is
sued each year, has been by successive
waves rather than by a regular and
continuous advance. Taking the first
year of each decennial period, we find
that in 1880 the number of patents
granted was Al; in 1910, 223; in 1920,
1856; in 1880, 554; in 1910, 473; in 1850,
s95; in 1860, 4,53s. The great in
crease in inventions during the de-
cennial period 1s5o60 is a remark
able feature in patent Office history
This period was one of rapid national
development, and was characterized
by the great extension of steam
transportation, the general introduc
tion Of the telegraph, and the perfec
tion of the sewing-machine, the reap
er, the mower and many other val
liable devices. During the civil wal
the production of patents fell off, bu
no sooner had the volunteer troops
returned to their homes than a won
derful fertility of invention was dis
played. Ideas that had been devel
oping in the minds of the soldier
during their life in the camps wer'
put into models by the thousan'

FIVE BURNED TO DEATH.
Father and Four Daughters Perish
In BlnzinG Home.


Versailles, Ind, Feb. 24.-George
James and his four young daughters
were burned to death in their farm
house, four miles from this place. Mrs.
James and another daughter were
away from home. A son, IL years OF
age, made desperate effort to get his
father and sisters from the burning
house, but failed.
Just before daylight James arose and
built a wood fire in the kitchen range.
In some unexplained manner the stove
fell apart, and in short time the
house was filled with smoke. The fire
spread quickly and awakened the
four girls, who slept on the second
floor. They rushed down stairs to their
fathers room and tried to get him 10
leave. Apparently he was stupified
by the smoke and refused TO move.
! A 12-year-old son. who had been
sleeping with his father, escaped
through a rear door and, finding il i'm
possible to get back, owing to the
rapid spread of the fire, rushed to {
