ton, Mr. LovegrOve says:
The new American Greek fire
peacemaker will make the horrors
of war more horrible and thus make
the blessings of peace more possible.
This peacemaker is a mode of shoot
ing and squirting a liquid at a tenn
perature as high as 800 degrees.
The liquid can be spot one mile or
ten miles, and at the terminal of
range it can be scattered one or two
hundred feet by impact and pneuma-
tie pressure.
The squirter can be made station
airy or on wheels, to be moved from
point to point as is field artillery"

A great many catarrh remedies are
advertised. One can scarcely pick up
a medical journal or a newspaper with
out seeing a dozen or more remedies
recommended for catarrh. 1t is no
wonder that many people are confused
and unable to decide which of these
many catarrh remedies are the best.
Thus ii Is a multitude of men and
women re persuaded to try some ca
tarrh remedy which they think is just
as good as Peruna. We are receiving
thousands of letters all the time from
people who have made this mistake.
Not only do they fail to receive any
benefit. but precious time is wasted,
and sometimes positive harm is done.
Peruna has many imtatorS, but no
real rivals. There is no other remedy
for Catarrh just as good as Peruna.
Let no friend or neighbor persuade
you to try anything else first. Every
thing depends upon getting the right
remedy, Nothing can be safely sub
stituted for Peruna.
We would therefore caution all peo-
pie aginSt accepting these substitutes.
Insist upon having Peruna. There is
no other internal remedy for catarrh
that will take the place of Peruna.
Allow no one to persuade you to the
contrary.

Most of the agitation began in the
west, and the agitators' plea for sym
pathy with the handicapped gold pro-
ducers of what section did the rest.
The conservative tinanciers of Cana
da have not shown themselves inter-
ested in the matter beyond a shrug Of
the shoulders and a query as To the
necessity for a Canadian mint AS a
rule the bankers do not favor it, fear
ing an unlimited issue Of silver coins,
and depreciation. 1t is a popular
movement, however, with the politi-
clans, and the dominion is so prosper
Gus these days that it will enjoy ham
ding its own coin, chasing out tho
golden eagles and double eagles OF
this country and substituting therefor

government hopes 10 replace with

Moreover. there is a desire to dis
place the immense quantity of Ameri-

Canadian coinage.
This country will wish the Canadian
mint success for two reasons, at least.
One of these is the stated intention 10
discontinue the coinage of the exasper-
ating 10-Cent piece; the other is the
probability that that other nuisance,
the Canadian scent piece, will be re-
placed by nickel coin uf the same
value, but less losable size.

DEATH OF MRS, JOHN S. NILES.
Wife Of DR.. Niles Succumbs in Hos
pital in PHILADELPHIA,

| The distressing news of the some
what sudden and unexpected death Of
| Mrs. Alice Niles. wife of Dr. John 5.
! Niles. was painful shock to those to
whom it came yesterday afternoon.
Her death took place in Dr. Prices
| private hospital in Philadelphia, whith-
er she went on Tuesday of this week
u undergo a surgical operation. The
operation took place on Wednesday.
The trouble was probably more un-
solved than expected. for Mrs. Niles
was unable to rally from the shock.
The friends of the deceased when APP
| prsed of her sudden taking away were
| deeply grievcd. for in her death will he
mOurncd the loss of one who was a
cheerful and helpful influence among
those with whom she associated. A
review Of her life reveas characteristics
and traits that mock the woman of
high ideals and noble purposes. In her
home. in the church where her zeal was
manifest. and in her social set her gen
tie influence was always felt and her
going away will truly be a loss to the
influences to which she lent herself.
Mis-. Niles was a native of College,
vile, Pa, near Philadelphia. She was
Miss Alice HunsiCScr. Ten years ago
she was welded to Dir. John S. Niles
and has since made her home in this
city.
Mrs. Niles was "A forccful worker in
the Presbyterian church. She was
foremost in the Womans Foreign Mis-
sionary society and had fhled the office
of secretary for several years. She
was also prominent in sunday school
work and taught one of the classes.
She was conspicuous in society circles
and was president of the New Century
club. the foremost society Urganiza-
tlon in the city.
Mrs. Niles is survived by her hus-
band, DR.. John S. Niles, to whom the
warm hearted sympathy of the COM
mun.ty goes out to help sustain him
in his overwhelming grief and sorrow;
also one brother aud one sister.
The deceased was expected to reach
here at 1.5S this morning and pending
Dr. Niles arrival who was with his
wife when she passed away, the fun
eral arrangements We're not considered.
