John Herziger, son of Alderman Her

writes in a recent letter to The Pc

the following:
"Affer suffering for two years with
kidney trouble received relief and a
cure from using your wonderful medi-
cine, Peruna.

John Herziger, 507 Commercial street,

Two years suffering with catarrh of
the kidneys, unable to work on account
of the severe pain: could find no relief
from medicine; gave Peruna trial and

This experience has been repeated

Vessel with Cargo of School Teachers
for the Philippines.
Wednesday-There are 600 teachers
aboard, 100 of them women. Some
are mere girls-others are merely girl
ish. All are bound for the Philip.
pines. Many of them. no doubt, would
be glad to touch at the port of matri-
mony on the way.
Thursday-There is spooning going
on everywhere, all over the boat All
the handsomest men are in great de-
mand. One fine-looking fellow from
Cleveland. in order to escape from at
tentions of six Boston spinsters, spends
most of his time in the foretop 1t
isn't at all comfortable up there, but
he says he prefers it.
Friday - First engagement an
nounced. He is just out of college
and %. She is a Portland school
ma am and 81. The example seems to
be contagious; three more engage
ments were announced by noon.
Saturday-Captain says he can't
work his ship unless the spooners get
out of the way. The captain is not
sentimental person. All the sailors
go round with broad grins on their
faces. 1t is supposed to come from
hearing so much lovey-dovey talk.
The bos'n is the only one of them that
keeps a sour face. 1t is said he has
been married four times. The engage
ment roll now numbers eleven.
Sunday-This was a day of rest for
everybody except the spooners. The
steward says he doesn't care how much
love-making they do on board It's
great saving for him, he says. Those
who are the deepest in love don't care
to eat. Nineteen engagements to date.
Monday-The captain says there's
no use talking. the serenading bust
ness has got to stop. The sailors
can't hear the orders because of the
| love songs There's Chicago school
ma'am with a mandolin, who makes
life miserable for everybody. She
sings the saddest love songs every
night until u o'clock. The captain
SAYS he'll either put her in irons or
feed her to the sharks. Thirty-four en-
gagements up to o'clock.
Tuesday-Thirty couples petitioned
the captain to-day to permit them to
| be married on board. He said he'd be
| damned if he would. He was ordered
to carry over to the Philippines lo'
of salaried school teachers, and he
| meant to do his duty. He wasn't run
ming any floating tootsie-wootsie shop
and he wanted them to know it. The
kind of knots he was interested II
were the kind that ship is expected
to encourage. He said lot more
about most of them being old enough
to know better-and the Massachusetts
girls didn't like it one bit. The thirty
couples have agreed to get married as
soon as they reach Honolulu. but the
others have reluctantly concluded to
wait until they get to Manila.-Cleve'

TITLES OF ENGLISH KINGS.

Many Changes Made Since the Days of
Edward the Confessor.
The new title which is to be be-
slowed upon Edward VII, in tardy
recognition of his sovereignty over
Canada, Australia, and the other self
governing colonies of Britain, adds an
other to the already long list of terms
by which our monarchs have been
called.
Edward the Confessor, in the Saxon
style. was King of the English. On
assuming this after Hastings, William
|. added Patron of the Normans.
William Rufus was King of the Eng
lish and Duke of the Normans," also
adding the pious Del Gratia" omitted
by his father. To this Henry II. add
ed Duke of Aquitaine." Henry VIII.
increased the royal dignity. He was
the first King of Ireland" and also
the first to add the distinguishing
mineral to his name. 1t was Henry
VIII. too, who first bore the title
Defender of the Faith" The pope be-
slowed it upon him for his attack on
Luther. Afterward, when Henry de-
serted Rome. the holy father Cancelled
the title. But Henry liked it so well
that he had an act of parliament
passed comforting the title on him and
his successors forever. Since then
English monarchs have been Defend
ers of the Faith. In addition to these
alterations Henry also changed the
usual form of address and reference.
| Until 1927 he was content to be called
His Highness. but thereafter he was

Dead Sea of Thibee.

Sven Hedin has discovered sec
ond dead sea in the highlands of Thi-
salt that indigenous life is out of the
question. 1t was impossible for him
to get his boat close to the shore, so
that he and his companions had to
wade out two boat lengths before she
would float. and this was sufficient to
coat their legs and clothes thickly with
salt. The entire bed of the lake ap-
peared to consist of salt. and the dem
sity of the lifeless water was, OF
course, very high.

The oldest bell in America is in the
little Catholic chapel in the village OF
st. Regis. on the st. Lawrence river.
The bell in that church. says the Nor
witch Aurora, was taken from Deer
field at the time of the French and
Indian invasion of that place. and, it
is said, was suspended on pole and
carried on the shoulders of the Indians
through the wilderness to the place
where it now hangs. 1t was originally
purchased in France by the Church of
ST. Regis. and the vessel in which it
was being taken to Quebec was cap
tured by an English cruiser and taken
into the port of Salem. The bell, as a
part of the cargo. was sold, and
bought by the church in Deerfield. The
invaders of Deertield were from st.
Regis. and took special pride in re-
capturing and returning the bell.

To My Many Friends-I am pleased
to make report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and l had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territories of AL
berta, Assiniboia. and Saskatchewan
and found them far surprising our i'm
agination, but little did l expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, so much
OF II, and so uniform in it's level prai-
RE lay. 1 do think the soil of Canada
as a rule equals if not excels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada from my point OF
view, offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long. sunshiny days
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea
son Is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land ready for
the pillow, I must say that l never saw
such a vast extent. practically all
ready SO all that one has to do is to
hitch up the pillow and go to work.
This is not the case with all the
Canadian land, however; some of ii
has quite a bit of timber. much of it
may be called brush land, and some OF

ward: there Is no standing still.
After all, am satisfied with you as
you are, though l shall never find you
again, any more than shall find those
sweet spring mists when the whole
world ended at the mountain top and
you and l had no one but each other.

If you do not accustom yourself to
drink water regularly, you are liable
TO have the waste products of the It's
sues Of the body form faster than they
are removed. Great weakness and
langor on rising in the morning is
generally due to a large secretion OF
these waste products, and the remedy
Is to drink tumblerful of water

This materially assists in the process

A new industry is promised for
North Carolina in the discovery Of ths
matting-reed in its river marshes. 1t
has long been said that mating could
be made only in China, because the
reed suitable for its manufacture was
found only in that country. Recently
reed has been found growing in the

bern, N. c., which experts state is
identical with that used in China for
