Dr. Lleweuyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
ef U. S. Treasury Department, graduate Of
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"AlIow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myself we'll man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure you"
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
emily by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an e1periment-it
i an absolute scientific certainty. PerunA
has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna.

Finla9d's National T. istence Will Soon
he Thing os the Past.


Tragedies of history are becoming so
numerous in the world just now that
the world ceases to wonder. One OF
the latest moves in the crushing out
OF Finland by the heavy hand of the
great white car is the requisitioning
by Gov. Bobrikoff, Russia's tool, OF
sample copies of all text books used in
Finnish schools. Russia, which has
suppressed the Finnish newspapers
thought to be inimical to a programme
OF blotting out Finnish nationality, is
now, 1t is thought. preparing to lay its
nands upon the Finnish system OF edu-
cation. The unexpected attack on Fin
nish national integrity was begun on
Feb. Is, 1899, by ukase of the czar,
which made the legislature OF the
grand duchy mere council for con-
sultation for recording the imperial
wishes. The cZar refused to listen to
Finnish protests. and the programme
OF making Finland Russian province
has gone steadily on ever since. A
people which from time immemorial
has had constitutional government
and its own system of religious, mill
tary and educational organization is
to be dominated by nation having
brute force as its chief recommended
tion. Finland with the smallest per-
centage of illiteracy in Europe. is to be
overrun with benighted Russian mou-
jiks and reduced to the educational
level OF Russia iself. While the czar
OF Russia was issuing his call for a
universal peace congress his minions
were crushing out the national life Of
Finland. The inexorable system of
Russia is stronger even than the czar.
His humane sentiments cannot stand
in the way Of Russian world policy.
Neither can any considerations Of civ
ilizations or humanity stand in the
way. The crushing out Of Finland Is
one of the darkest of the many TRACE
dies now being enacted on the stage of
world history. 1t is not relieved even
by CLEAN OF promise for better civ
ilization in the country which is to lose
it's national life. Yet the world looks
on indifferently. A general callousness
seems to have taken hold OF nations
The cry Of the weak and oppressed
brings no response Sympathy seems
to be altogether with the strong. A
nation may do anything it is powerful
enough to do.-Baltimore News.
