IT TONIC is q medicine that gives tone
IN to some part Of the system. There
are different kinds Of tonics, but
the tonic most needed In this country,
where catarrh is 80 prevalent, is .
tonic that operates on the mucous mem
branes.
Peruna is q tonic to the mucous mem
branes Of the whole body. It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is 8 specific In its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is a
tonic that strikes at the root Of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gIv7s tone to the
minute blood vessels Inc the terminal
nerve fbres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna Is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the hid
den parts Of the body.
Paul Landrum writing from Atlantis,
Ga, says:
"In January last I began the use C.
your Peruna and Manalin for what was
termed organic heart trouble. At that
time I could scarcely walk to my place
OF business without stopping to rest and
on arrival felt completely exhausted.
Had severe pains In my heart and general
dizziness. After using the first bottle Of
Peruna I began to improve and today I
feel that I am q sound man and I work
fourteen hours a day without any bad
feeling."-Paul Landrum.
A. NJ. Ikerd, an employee Of the G. B.
& Q. R. R., West Burlington, Ia, writes:
az had catarrh Of the stomach and
small intestines for Q number Of years.
I went to q number Of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one Of my doctors
sent mi to Chicago and I mes the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that I had SANGER Of the stomach
and there was no cure. I almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. I could hardly stand 1t, 1t was
SO offensive. 1 could not est anything
without great misery, and I gradually
grew worse.
"Finally I got one Of your books, and
concluded would Try Peruna, and thank
God, I found q rsl1sf and . cure for that
dreadful disease. I took five bottles Of
Peruna and two Of Manalin, and I now
feel like q new man. There Is nothing
better than Peruna, and I keep q bottle
in my house all the ttme."-A. NJ. Ikerd.

SLoWEsT SHIP IN THE WORLD.
Characteristics of a Vessel With a
Wonderful Career.

Baltimore American: The slowest
sailing vessel in the world, the Italian
brig Anita S., which was twice given
up as lost on voyages from South
| America to Baltimore, recently arriv-
ed at Nantes France. from Martinique,
in the West Indies after another unus-
ually long voyage OF ten months. This
vessel has also been 1913 days from
Rosario to Plymouth, 1T days from
Plymouth to Santos, 166 days from
Buenos Ayres to Plymouth, 1913 days
from Cardiff to Montevideo, 205 days
from Paysandu to Baltimore. 1873 days
from Brunswick to Paysandu, 234 days
from Paysandu for Baltimore and "a
days from Baltimore to Maranham
On voyage from South America to
Baltimore the Anita S. was three
months at sea without man on deck
who understood navigation. The brig
was five months on voyage which US
ually occupies about 80 days. When
month out from Montevideo a knot
in one of the planks in the null under
the water line fell out, and a big leak
was opened 1t required the best eff
forts of the crew at the pumps to keep
the vessel free of water. The cargo
had to be shifted to tilt the vessel and
bring the leak above water, when the
hole was plugged up.
The Iabors of the mate in the per-
spring hold overheated him. and his
sudden change to a cooler atmosphere
on deck made him i'll, and he was laid
up in his bunk many months ago with
what seemed to have been pneumonia.
This deprived the vessel of its ex@u
tive working officer. Later while Cap
tain De Rosa was running along the
deck he fell and broke kneecap. He
was obliged to go to his berth. This
deprived the brigantine of her two Of
ficers. both of whom were confined to
the cabin. There was not a man
among the crew who understood navi-
CATION. The vessel was sailed by mem
bers OF the crew, who consulted the
sick officers in the cabin. AS a result,
the voyage was prolonged and the pro-
visions ran short.
On another occasion the brig was
over hundred days getting from Bal
timore to Brazil She was five days
sailing down the bay. The Anita 5. is
the only deep-sea vessel steered by
tiiler seen here in years. Her cabin Is
below deck. She was recoppered be-
fore she sailed from Baltimore. II was
then observed that the Italian oak
frames placed in the vessel when she
was built at Cassano. Italy, In 1876,
were still sound and strong.

The Rush To the Cities.
One of the most discouraging fea-
lures OF American social economies to-
day Is the persistence with which Door
people will crowd into our municpali-
ties, where conditions for existence
and the rearing OF families are wholly
bad, when a wide and beautiful country
region would welcome them with the
means to live and an abundance of
room, pure water, pure air and good
food. Instead they swarm like rats in
the fostering tenement slums of the
cities, menace to the health OF the
city and not inirequently to it's peace
and good government.
Turn Him Down
You might just as well turn down
the persistent end shiftleSs borrowing
neighbor and be done with it. Neigh
borly friendship Is purchased at too
high a figure when held on such terms.
1t will be a good thing for the borrow
er. too, for then he will be forced to
provide for his own needs and will take
better care of his own tools than he
does of yours. Neighborly accommo-
mediation should be extended to the
fullest to all save the fellow who Is try
ing to work you-you know whom we
mean-and he should be turned down.
Crows and the Cornfields.
The corn crop has one enemy in the
Eastern states which the West Is free
from-namely, the crow We have
never known Western cornfield to be
raided by crows after the crop was
planted and just as it was coming up
while in the East the crow sits on the
fence waiting for the corn to show IT.
self; this because of the greater
abundance of crow food in the West
Still, at the rate crows are multiplying
in the West, it will not be long until
this question will have to be met by
Western corn growers.
Mistaken In the Bird.
We note several references in the pa
pers of the West to focks of passenger
pigeons being seen at various points.
We think that the observers in these
cases are mistaken in the identity OF
the bird and that what they thought
was the wild pigeon was the
golden plover, bird which migrates In
fiocks and which has the same irregu-
lar lines of flight as the pigeon. 1t is
doubtful if there is single flock OF
wild pigeons left north of Kentucky
and almost equally doubtful if there are
any south of that line.
