GOVERNOR OF OREGON Uses Pe-ru-na zAk in His Family
 For Colds lIRH and Grip.
 fzEIHIII

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula- tion and commenda ton testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the states man, the preacher-all agree that Pe- ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es- pecially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso- lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every house. hold should be supplied with this great t remedy for coughs. colds and so forth.
 The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

Three Years After.

MT. Boies says in 1899: "In the spring of 1896 I made public state ment of my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of terrible aching in the kidneys, in the small of my back, in the mus cles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no occurrences of my old trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever, not only from my personal experience but from the experience of many others in Akron which have come to my notice"

Lionel ArdOn.

 builded along historical lines, is "Lionel Ar. don," by Malcolm Dearborn. Like many of the novels of the time it takes its name from that of the hero. The scene is Eng land and the time that of Henry VIII, and through to Queen Elizabeth. The hero, Lion. el is the son of Lord Ardon, who is killed in a duel with Lord Raven, and his death is quickly avenged by the young son. The story follows the entrance of the hero into liant descriptions of the gayeties and festivi, ties of those times One of the principal characters is Lady Jane Grey, who is, in fact the real heroine. This is the only novedthat has ever brought to the sympathy and ad miration of story readers that woman oi purity and exquisite womanliness. Pub lished by c. w. Dillingham; Company, New York.

ANTIQUATED METHODS.
What Can You Expect of a Teacher Unless You Supply Him With
 Proper Equipment.

What teacher can not accomplish far better results with proper equip ment? asks the Biblical Recorder To begin with, the school is more easily disciplined in comfortably furnished building; in fact it is i'm possible, as we all know, to maintain order in room that is not properly furnished, with no place for anything and nothing in rlace, books scattered, everything in confusion, disorder in abundance, all in bad humor. Teach CT goes home at close of days work exhausted, discouraged. Pupils go home wishing they would never have to return. Of course children may be restrained from bad conduct by bad punishment, but has not the all-im- portant principle of self development been grossly violated? Should it not be our purpose to direct and strengthen the S Tit of the child along the right lines rather than to weaken and subject it by harsh means? Good surroundings are worth more than strict rules, stout arms and keen switches.
 As an investment in money would it not yield handsome to give the teachers up-to-date working applian- ces to facilitate their efforts and to improve the opportunities of the pu- pills? What farmer would undertake to farm with primitave tools and after antiquated methods? Some of them do and we can see the result. What housewife would undertake to do the cooking on an oTen fire with pot-hooks, skillet, etc. Our progressive farmers buy up-to-date implements, Nearly every home is now furnished with a steel range, even discarding the faithful old cook stove for the sake of economy in energy, time, money and nerve force. Then why should these same people expect the school teachers to accomplish the best results without proper equipment with which to work.

St. JacOba Oil.

In cases where bronchitis has become l chronic from want of proper treatment in
 the earlier stages, there Is nothing so good as Dr. August koenigs Hamburg Breast Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out ward application, along the front. of, the throat, from close up under the chin to well down to the top of the chest; the one rem edy assists the other, and, as intended, they work in complete unison. The wonderful
 penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil en- abes it to reach the adhesion of foreign
 matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
 which makes breathing more and more diff hcult. As these adhesions become inflamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such ad
 heslons to break away, making eXpectora
 tion easier and more free. Dr. August
 Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parts, is comforting and quieting, stops the cough of treatment (and there is no other two remedies that will work together so sue cessfully) reaches the difficulty from the outside and the inside at the same time
 St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad
 hesion, and assists Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then both remedies act in unison in healing and curing The above remarks apply with equal force in cases of asthma, croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial affections. Every family should have St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August Koenig's Ham burg Breast Te6 always in the house in or der that they may be promptly used in the first stages. Often the maladies develope with wonderful rapidity, and complications take place with equal suddenness.

 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
 SALEM, May g, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,, Columbus. O.:
 Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to VISA your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excel lent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
 Yours very truly, W. NJ. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe- ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt ly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. Thisis exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ail- ments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh.' Address Dr. Hart man, Columbus, Ohio.

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tons? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife, Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
woMEN coNvIcTs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in Is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties
prison-like in the absence Of all pleasure
In what is done or JOY in the doing.
And the reason Is to be found In
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health Is re-
lated to the health OF the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart "trouble," disorders of kid
neys. liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as a result of diseased con-
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women udoctorn for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of Its diseases.
This Is not theory. II Is q statement
Of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony OF hundreds of thousands Of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use of DIR. Pierce's
