The recent decision of q judge at
Akron, o., that the value OF a woman's
life is $500, while that OF n man is
$4,000, has created something like
an indignant uprising among the
women of that community. They con-
tend, and not without justice and
reason, that the court has no right
TO appraise masculine and feminine
lives by the rules which govern rela-
tive values Of sheep and oxen. As
a matter Of fact, there are almost as
many exceptions TO such n general
rule as there are men and women.

Hon. David Meekison Is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives. during which time he became
widely known rs the founder of the
Meckison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and Is the &c
knowledgcd leader OF his party In his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pc-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DIR.
Hartman as the result:
"Ihave used several bottles Of PERU
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. feel
encouraged to believe that il use 1t q
short time longer l will be able to fully
eradicate the disease OF thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
q slight cough, cold in the head, or a
trifling arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear,

in the matters to be discussed.
The meeting was a very short one. The
programme that had been prepared at

organization and will contribute literally
to It's support once an actual and prac-
teal beginning is made
