promptly because it cures the catarrh.
Peruna is not a palliative or a sedative
or a nervine or a stimulant. 1t is a.
specific for catarrh and cures catarrht
wherever it may lurk in the system.
This girl was lucky enough to find
Peruna at last. As she says, the doc
tors did not seem to understand what
the trouble was and the medicine he
prescribed from time to time did not
help her. Peruna hit the mark at
once and she is now recommending
this wonderful remedy to all the other
girls in the United States
Thousands of the girls who look at
her beautiful face and read her sin
cere testimonial, will be led to try
Peruna in their times of trouble and
critical periods. Peruna will not fail
them. Every one of them will be glad
and it is to be hoped that their en-
thusiasm will lead them to do as this
girl did-proclaim the fact to the
world so that others may read it and
do likewise.

Grand Ball.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 31.-The TWEEN
ty-eighth triennial conclave of
Knights Templar is a thing of the
past, and outgoing trains were laden
with the rear-guard of ~homebound
passengers. The majority of the Wis
itors left during the night. The
white plumes and the gold girt uni
forms which have been so familiar
for four days, have become a COM
parative rarity. In numerous in
stances the Communicates split up in
order to take in points of interest in
this region, notably Mammoth cave,
which was the great attraction.
A Popular Selection.
The selection of San Francisco as
the next meeting place has met with
general approval. The older knights
still talk of the success of the con-
clave of 1888, which was held in the
Golden Gate city, and their younger
comrades are eager to see not only
the city but the western country.
The assertion that San Francisco's
restaurants and hotels are ample is
another point in favor of the Cali
fornia metropolis.
Nothing But Praise From Visitors.
Nothing but praise for the local
committees which provided the en-
tertainment for the visitors was
heard while farewells were being said.
Such hospitality as that shown by the
Kentucky knights has lever been
known before by the oldest knights.
Every Hour Had It's Pleasures.
There has not been an hour since
the meeting opened Tuesday that the
knights have not had some pleasure
bic incidents to occupy their time.
Receptions nave been endless, nearly
every commandery having kept open
house. At every public function re-
freshments of every kind confronted
the templars aud their ladies.
Many Ladies Present.
The twenty-eighth triennial has
been notable for the great number
of women present. A great number
OF visitors brought their wives and
daughters with them, and Kentucky's
daughters were everywhere looking,
to the entertainment of guests.
For the few knights remaining
here, and for the local committees, a
supplementary ball was arranged fol
Friday night. Many who were III,
able to gain admittance to the grand
ball, Thursday night, were present al
this last incident of the conclave.
