PEN-MAR BUSINESS.

Mr.. +. NJ Howell, passenger and
advertising agent of the Western
Maryland Railroad, reports that dur
ing the past two months the excursion
business to Pen Mar has increaed over
sixty per cent. as compared with last
years figures. In June, 1901, there
were S16 persons taken to Pen Mar,
while this year during the same peri
cd /, 52l excursionists visited the re-
sort. During July. 1901, 1927 per-
sons went to Pen Mar, and during last
month 7, 49l were carried. an increase
of 2, 500 over last year. Mr.. Howell
attributes the great increase in bust
ness to the fact that this year the COM
pany has more extensively advertised
Pen Mar in the newspapers than here
tofore.

Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous

Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is an internal remedy; not q
local application.
Catarrh is systemic disease, not q
local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh
in one place it will cure it in any other
place, because Peruna is a systemic rem

the disease by eradicating it from the

At time like this, when there IL
such general prosperity throughout
the country. when men are at work
and business is good, there is the
greatest danger of apathy and indiffer-
ence among the voters. They are too
likely to think that the game already
is won and that their personal absence
from the fight will make no material
diffe -ence. The Republican Congress

point out to voters the necessity OF
each man taking a personal interest in
