Dear Sirs--I have had occasion to
use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved TO be
an excellent remedy. | have not had
occasion to use it for other ailments
Yours very truly, w. NJ. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Gov
ernor SAYS he has not had occasion
to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments
The reason for this is most other
ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he
protects his family against other
ailments. This is exactly what every
other family in the United States
should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections
Of winter, and there will be no other
ailments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with 9

WASHINGTON THE UNIFIER.
He showed the Thirteen Colonies
the Pathway 20 National Life
The Ideal American.

II seems no wonder at all, that,
after six years Of terrible political
. distress, under the articles Of con
federation, Washington should be
called to preside at the constitution
al convention in Philadelphia Char
actcristicaly, Washington, when suns
moned, was in western Virginia seek
ing how he might open mp his lines
Of communication and natural high
ways by which the east and the west
could be bound together, and the way
made clear for that great procession
westward of our advancing race
which he foresaw. He was the great
/ baance-wheel of the Philadelphia as
sembly of 1857, when sectional inter-
ests threatened disruption. He was
the anchor of the ship of state when
storms arose.
Made president, says the Sunday
School Times, he, under God, showed
us the true pathway Of national life.
1t is difficult to realize the division,
the weakness the lack of conference,
in the country and the government,
over century ago. We were a
"backwoods nation" between the
mountains and the sea. The states
were jealous of the each other and
Of the central government. Parties,
such as they were, had inherited all
the viciousness of the old organiza-
tons in Great Britain. The people
were not welded together, One set
wanted to be pro-French and the
other pro-British.
When Citizen Genet" came over
to get men, ships, and money and
also to play. for selfish purposes,
upon the gratitude which our fathers
felt for French aid in the revolution,
Washington took the right stand Of
neutrality. He showed that we were
not TO be hyphenated Americans
as the manner Of some is, even in
this day, He taught that the true
patriot should be, not Irish or Dutch

The hero whose memory we honor
was not a man of genius or of the best
intellectual culture, but he was a great
character-honest, simple, true, disin-
terested, incorruptible. He thought
not of private gain nor of personal
glory, nor of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his
country, but, believing with all his
heart in the right of the people to gov
ern themselves, he gave his time, his
wealth, his life to make such govern
ment actual and permanent.-Bishop

Early Presidential Receptions.

At Washington's leyees the president
always appeared as a private gentle
man, without the cooked hat of cere-
mOny and with no sword. All call
ers were seated, and the rich pound
cake and plum cake of the day was
handed around with tea and coffee and
wine, a custom that was imperative
in those days in good society. Every
Friday evening Mrs. Washington re-
ceived from eight to ten o'clock, and
the most elegant and refined people
attended those receptions, the license
which admits the general public not
having been extended. 1t was the day
of republican court, and rank, char
acter and full dress were necessary to
gain admittance.

THE FAITH OF
WASHINGTON
~snsu

Washington was reyerent Of every
thing that was sacred, The impress
sion that the profane use of the name
of God made upon him is shown by this
order, issued while he was commander
in chief of the army:
Headquarters, Moor's House
West Point July %, 1910.
Many and pointed orders have been is
sued against the unmeaning and abomna-
BILE custom Of swearing, Notwithstanding
which, with much regret the general OBJ
serves that 1t prevails, If possible, more
than ever; his feelings are continually
wounded by the oaths and lmprecations OF
the soldiers whenever he is in hearing of
them. The name Of the Being from whose
bountiful goodness we are permitted to
exist and enjoy the comforts of life is in
cessantly imprecated and profaned in a
manner as wanton as It is shocking.
For the sake, therefore, of religion de-
cency, and order, the general hopes and
trusts that officers OF every rank will use
their influence and authority TO check a
vice which is as Improbable as It is wicked
and shameful
Words that ring as true as when they
were uttered more than a hundred
years ago.
Washington was not only believer
in prayer, but a man of prayer. Many
instances of this are related How on
one occasion he sought shelter from a
storm for the night at a house where
he was unknown, and where, owing to
the dangers of the war, he was received
with fear and doubling, but when, after

INVESTIGATING GABRiN's DEATH
Or. Tyler Says 1t Was Due to Arsen
ical Poisoning.

Denver, April 22.-Most of the per-
sons who had any connection with
Representative Albert Gabrin's death
We're gathered in the office of Chief
of Police Armstrong last night to tell
what they might know about it. The
inquiry was in IL way Informal. al
though all the testimony was recorded
by a stenographer. Only about h:rlf
the witnesses were examined, but the
inquiry will be continued this evening
after which it is expected arrests will
be made
The most important testimony was
given by Dr. G. +. Tyler. secretary of
the state board of health, who was
called in by DR.. Kleiner on the night
of G;brn's death for consultation. Dr.
Tyler said:
Il was first called in for consulta-
ton the night of January S1h. | re-
ceived a telephone message informing
me that DR.. Kleiner wanted me for
consultation and rode to the house on
my bicycle.
Questions answered by Gabrin
plainly indicated to me that he was in
his right mind.
'Gahrin told me that he had taken
something. | am quite confident that
he said that Mrs. Gabrin had given
him glass of wine. ! am sure that
he said she had given him something
and | think it was wine. | turned to
Mrs Gabrin and she said that her
husbands statement was true
During the inquiry there was a con-
flict of testimony on this point. DIR.
Tyler testified positively as to the
statement made by Gabrin on his
deathbcad-that Mrs. Gabrin had
either given him a glass of wine or
medicine. Mrs. Gabrin, when she was
called upon to testify. denied positive,
ly that she had given her husband any,
thing Willie the nurse was absent.
Il found Gabrin in state of extreme
collapse" said DR.. Tyler. continuing
his testimony. Il gave it as my
opinion that he would die within Il
short time. I was told by Herman
Gabrin. the father. Mrs. Gabrin and
the nurse that he had been doing well
until that afternoon, when the nurse
had left him.
I've found fresh irritation at the
mouth of the stomach. such as would
have been caused by an irritant poison.
1t was not an irritation of long stand
ing. but one which was fresh"
Before finishing his testimony DIR.
Tyler was asked what lie believed to
be the cause Of Albert Gabrin's death.
Il think that it undoubtedly was due
to arSenical poisoning" he replied.

THE CHILDREN OF I'LL
Condition ard Needs of the
Orphans at Oxford.
An Increase in Number and Decrease in Re-
ceip's Calls For an 0pan Handed libar-
atty from the People.

The conditions and needs OF the or
phans at the oxford Orphans Home, as
set forth in the current issue OF the
orphans Friend" will appeal TO gem
erous hearts in North Carolina who have
ever held that benefactions such as are
needed there are the best Of Investments
for the future.
Here is what is said, and it IS re-
published here in the hope that as Il IS
read many Will respond cheerfuily and
largely to the urgent needs OF the or
phans, the children of the State:
AT the last meeting of the board Of
directors, which was held in December.
it was decided that arrangements should
be made for the accommodation of thir-
ty-two more children in the asylum. This
has been done at q cost of more than
three hundred dollars and many of the
new children have already been received.
There are now a in the institution and
several more are expected. We have
more than enough applications on file to
run the number to the limit, 236. The
boys dining room is now so full that
there is scarcely walking space left for
the little girls who wait on the table.
Of course this increase in the number of
children is accompanied by a correspond
ing increase in the demand for bread and
meat. During the past week over twelve
hundred leaves of bread were used, or
about IL barrels of flour per day. The
weather has been bitter cold. The chill
dren have needed warm clothes. The
new ones nave needed uniform suits.
This increase in the demand for food and
clothes calls for an increase in funds,
and this increase in funds calls for an
increase in the number and size of the
donations. We are aware that the past
year has been a hard one in many sec
tons of the State. The farmers, or
rather the farms, failed to produce a full
crop, and failure among the farmers
means failure to business in general, for
the farmer controls it all. The steam
engine which goes flying through the
country at full speed is not to be COM
pared in real power to the pillow which
gIides slowly through the unbroken
soil. But the hard part Of the winter
has passed and the heralds of spring are
beginning to appear. With the first warm
rays of the sun comes a new ray of hope
and stimulus to the farmer. The ex-
perience in the past years has been that
a short crop of one year is generally fol-
lowed by a full harvest in the succeeding
year. And, above all, we have the assur-
ance that our Goo has never failed and
never will. Although we have started
this year with twenty-five more children
than at this time last year, the receipts
SO far have been much smaller. Flour
and meal and meat have been aud are
much higher than for several years.
And as the spring approaches and bust
ness takes on new life. we hope that
many will feel constrained to give a few
dollars OF their earnings to the cause
which represents the hope of the future"
