A Noted Knight TempIar
Owes His Health to PeTuna.

Colonel T. p. Moody, a prominent Knight
Templar, is well known in every city in the
United States west of Buffalo, N. Y, as n
jewelers. Auctioneer. In the city Of Chi
cego as a prominent lodge man, being a
member Of the X. It's and also Of the Ma
sons. The cut shows Colonel Moody I'm the
costume Of the Oriental Consistory Masons,
82nd degree.
In a recent letter from 5000 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, Mr.. Moody says the
following:
"FOr over twenty-five years I
suffered from cafarrh, and for
over fen years / suffered from
cafarrh of the stomach terribly.
al have taken all kinds of medi-
cines and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintance are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where I have Travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over a year ago I
started TO take Peruna, and az the
present time ! am better than !
have been for twenty years.
"The soreness has left mySfOn1-
ach entirely and / am free from
Indigestion and dyspepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
cafarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind, don't put 1t off and suffer,
but begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep ii up until you
are cured, as you surely will be IL
you perseVere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with a bad cough and
Bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the
country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better
now than she has been in years, and her
cough has almost left her entirely. The
soreness has left her lungs and she is as well
as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as
she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly,
r. p. Moody.
Catarrh in it's various forms is rapidly
becoming a general curse. An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by Dr.. Hart
man. This remedy has been Thoroughly
tested during the past forty years. Promi.
nent men have come to know of its virtues,
and are making public u%tterances on the
subject. To save the country we must save
the people. To save the people we must
protect them from disease. The disease that
is at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh.
If one were to make a list of the different
names that have been applied to catarrh in
different locations and organs, the result
would be astonishing. We have often pub
lished a partial list of these names, and the
surprise caused by the first publication of il
to all people, both professionals and non
professional, was amusing. And yet we
rave never enumerated all of the diseasei
which are classed as cataTTh. 1t must bI

LODGINGS At CLUBS.
A System With Many c%onvenIenees
That ls Spreading in Cities.

That is Spreading m Cities' .
Clubhouses in New York tend to be
more and more like hotels. It used to
be that few %clubhouses had accommo-
dations for dodgers. Now almost
every clubhouse has a few dodgers.
and the large new houses of the past
FIVE years have many rooms to let.
One club found its lodgings so profit
able that it doubled its number Of
sleeping rooms, and then found SC
many members seeking transient &C
cOmmodations that 1t put out all the
permanent dodgers. A club with a
score of lodgings let to transient ten
ants may reasonably expect an in
come from this source of from $4,000
to 100000.
Club lodgings usually cost a little
less than equally good accommoda-
tions at a comfortable hotel. At these
rates members are glad to lodge at
the club whenever they have need Of
temporary accommodations in town.
AS club lodgings are so much in de-
mand the length of time that they can
be occupied has to be regulated. A
lodger usually is restricted to from
ten days to three or four weeks.
Clubs that let lodgings usually keep
one or more Wallets whose business it
is to brush, clean and press the clothes
of dodgers. The rule against tipping
in clubs is somewhat relaxed in the
case of the valet, when a ledger de-
mands of him more than the usual
amount of service.
Clubs that have not a large noL-
resident list find it profitable to let
p1Opf IF fhofs lCd otn nc 20 nawraanopf
tenants. There are club lodgings that
have been let to the same tenants for
twenty years, and some that are held
for tenants who pass halls the year in
Europe. Only the largest clubs rent
suites of apartments to dodgers.
1t is a pretty well recognized law of
club life that a member is not bound
to observe all the club rules in his
lodgings. A member who plays cards
in the pubic rooms of the club must
play within the limits fixed by club
rules, but a member playing in his
lodgings may play for somewhat
higher stakes. A member. however,
must not turn his lodgings into a
gambling den. A club ledger who set
up a roulette wheel in his rooms was
at length gently reminded that he was
violating club rules.
Club lodgings are not necessarily
the luxury Of the rich, but they are not
to be recommended to the man who
wishes to save money out of a moder
ate income. A man may lodge and
dine modestly at an inexpensive club
for $50 or 800 a month, but if he be
c%onvivial or a sybarite his expenses
may easily be five or ten times as
much.

A young minister, who was natural
