His lawyers have discovered that un-

is said to have embezzled twenty
times that sum. He is prepared to

MANY PEOPLE can tolerate slight


W catarrhal affections. But this is
not true of the public speaker or
singer. His voice must always be clear,
lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed.
Hence the popularity Of Peruna among

Fritz Vollmer, President Schwm-
bischer Sengerbund, Chicago, in o re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
says:
"I was greatly troubled for

FOR THE WORTHLESS HUSBAND.

In Minnesota now the man found
guilty of failing to provide for his
wife is punished as a felon. A man
just convicted in Minneapolis-the first
under the new law-received a SEN
tence of ninety days in the workhOuse,
although he might have been sent to
the penitentiary for three years, that
being the extreme limit of imprison-
ment for this offense.
This being the first case, the court
was disposed to exhibit leniency, but
hereafter, it is understood, men who
desert their wives. or who neglect.
evade, or shirk their duties toward
their families, will not be treated with
such consideration. Heretofore, it APP
pears, such offenses have been treated
as misdemeanors in Minnesota. The
delinquent husband could be fined or
sent to Jail in default of security. Now
he is felon in the sight of the law
and his sentence either to the work
house or to the pententiary carries
with it the penalty of hard labor

1t Is matter of common observa-
ton that holidays and anniversaries
are likely to drift away from their
original purpose and character. This
tendency can be seen in almost every
case, but nowhere perhaps so clearly as
with Halloween, says the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is bad enough that the re-
ligious aspect of Thanksgiving and of
Christmas should be obscured by the
dominant interest In eating turkeys
and in exchanging presents. Hallow-
cen has shown steady degeneration
that is in the direction not only of for
getting the meaning of the occasion
and so of introducing irrelevant Gus
toms, but of falling into practices
which could not on any occasion at all
be regarded as appropriate or even en-
durable.
