Like terrible cyclone grip bacillus has

Like terrible cyclone grip bacillus has
passed over our country, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, leaving behind It a
dark cloud of anguish and despair.
Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
cause.
A multitude of catarrh victims will
spring up in the trail of the awful cpl
demic of grip that has just passed over
our fair country
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch
of grip, should not fail to take course
of treatment with Peruna.
Peruna eradicates every vestige of the
disease and leaves the system in nor
nal condition
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the National
Hotel, Washington, D. c.. as follows:
After giving Peruna fair trial | can
Icheerfully recommend your remedy to
anyone suffering with coughs, colds. la

In the latest contested will case in
New York the heirs of a distinguished
merchant, lately deceased there, seek
to show that he was of unsound mind.
and in support of their contention
they have brought out testimony to
show that he made his wife wear the
same bonnet for nine years, declaring
that new bonnet in ten years was
enough for any modest woman. 1t is
testified furthermore that he sought
to procure legislation closing up all
the show windows OF the shops, for
the reason that they attract the atten-
ton of women and make them spend
money
On the Interoceanic railway of Mex
leo a part Of the track has been lad
on ties of jarrah wood imported from
Australia for this purpose. The jar
rah wood is obtained from one of the
largest trees of the forests of Aus
tralia, which grows to an average
height of 200 feet. There IS
usually an interval of $50 feet to the
first branch. These trees furnish tim
Der which is sound in every respect,
there being an absence of dry rot,
gum veins and other defects that
often characterize large trees.
A horse belonging to John Hench OF
Logansport, Ind, got caught in rat
trap few days ago and as a result
the owner nearly lost his life. Hench
had set a spring rat trap in a manger
and the animal touched it off. the wise
like jaws catching the horses lip.
Maddened by pain the horse began to
plunge and Hench jumped and seized
the halter He was then in for it and
for twenty minutes it looked as
though man and beast would bekilled
together. The accidental slipping Of
the trap finally saved Hench's life.
Trainmen in some parts Of South
Dakota have a new difficulty to sur
mount in the shape of vast masses OF
Russian thistles which collect in drifts
on the tracks. The weeds are blown
into cuts, where they become inter
woven so closely that sometimes
trains are delayed for hours. The To-
comotives might push their way
through but for the fact that the rails
become slippery through the crushing
of the oily fiber and seeds, the wheels
refusing to revolve even after a lib
era1 application Of sand.

My lady was dissolved in tears,

One thought dispelled some forme
fears
Of future strife and woe.
Quoth I Give praise!

I've seen some days
Beneath those eyelids glow"
Yet there's a blaze that cannot die,

And when there's heard
A thoughtless word
This blaze, then stirred,
Evaporates the tears.

OIL FOR DUSTY ROADS.

DR.. H. J. Waters, dean of the Mis-

ing experiments in Columbia with
sweet" oil which have attracted con-
siderable attention there and else
where, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
GRAFT. Two things are claimed for the
discovery. First, it will keep the dust
laid, and, second, it will make the
roads dry even in wet weather by
causing the rain to slide into the gut
tiers.
AS a result of the oiling Of several
roads in Columbia and Boone county it
has been demonstrated that no dust
arises, no matter how dry the road.
In fact the dust has been laid perfectly
by the new method, the only disagree
able feature being the odor, which, 1t
Is claimed, will disappear when rain
comes. The oil is injected to the depth
of two inches, and the ground is Their

Corn OIL versus olive Oil.

The Industrial and commercial papers
of continental Europe are calling at
tention to the approaching competition
of American corn oil. 1t is stated that
this oil is greatly appreciated from an
industrial point Of view and that it's
fine golden color and agreeable taste
make 1T a possible rival for older and
better known varieties of table oil.
Well directed efforts have been made
for some time. notably at the Paris ex-
position, to establish this product in
foreign markets, and from present in
dications it would appear that they
have been successful.

discriminate against women
They are not anxious to take
risks upon women's lives on any
terms, and impose burdensome
regulations besides charging ex'
cessive premiums, says the Chic
ago Chronicle. AS a conse quence
few women who have to carr
their own living are able to carry
policies upon their lives. Ye+ al
have felt the necessity Of some
provision being made for them
when advancing years make thei,
services as breadwinners less
sought for.
This is the more desirable in.
somuch as the salaries which
they earn in the ordinary way
are not sufficient to enable them
to save very much against the
proverbial rainy day, which in.
evitably comes to cloud the
evening of their lives.
Denmark is the country which
has set the world an example in
this respect, an Old Maids In
surance Company having been
started in Copenhagen. Accord
ing to this scheme the policy
holder by paying a certain pre-
MUM yearly is entitled to a pen
sion If, on reaching the age of 40,
she is still unmarried.
Parents of a diffdent turn of
mind with regard to the possible
attractions of their daughters,
but who are nevertheless of a
practical disposition, may effect
an insurance against their condi-
ton Of spinsterhood when the
girls are quite young, but all the
premiums would, of course, be
in the event of the dam
sci marrying before she had ar.
rived at the age in question.

For about five years the price of this

til today it is listed at a higher price
than ever since it's discovery, and ev-
cry indication points to still higher
prices. Platinum Is now quoted at
about $50 an ounce, about twice the
quotation Of gold, while five years ago
