PE- ma NECESSARY TO The HOME
Letter From Congressman White of North Carolina.
PE-RU-NA Is A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It,

ID ERUNA is a great family medicine.
l. The women praise it rs well as the
men; it is Just the thing for the many
little catarrhal ailments Of childhood.
The following testimonials from thank
full men and women tell in direct, sincere
language what their success has been IN
the use of Peruna in their families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, l03 Locust street,
Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
81 will tell you briefly what Perura has
dcne for me- l took severe cold which
gave me hard cough. All doctors medl-
cines failed to cure it. took one bottle
OF Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad coughs
accompanied by gagging. My wife had m
stomach trouble for years. She took fe'
runa and now she Is well.
81 cannot express my thanks in words,
but l recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for can conscientiously say
that there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every one IN this town knew about
the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with astonishment what
Pcruna has done for us. Many followed
our example, and the result was health.
Thanking you heartily, l am" L. j.
Scherrinsky.
MIS-. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, CAL,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
II consider Peruna an indispensable ar
ticle in my medicine chest. 1t is twenty
medicines in one. and has SO far cured
every sickness that has been in my home
for five years. l consider it of special
value to weakly women, as it builds uE
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps You in the best of health. Mrs.

poq Police.

For some time the Client police
have been using trained dogs to aid
them in their avocations, and the plan
has been attended with much succesa
1t has, too, this advantage about it
that the use of dogs mas enabled the
municipality to dispense with the use
of more men who would otherwise
have been needed. And dog costs
but Sd. a day to feed. The training
of the animals is found far less
troublesome than was supposed, out
care has to bo taken in selecting dogs
with a suitable disposition. They
are specially employed in searching
dark out-of-the-way places difficult to
reach, where dangerous characters
may I've concealed. Their leaping pow
ers in scaling walls are found of great
use. They are trained to pursue per-
sons taking to the water to escape
and those who take to their HEELS

ALLIGATOR AND SNAKE SKINS.
Extinction Of the Animals Threatened
by the Demand for Their Hides.

by the Demand tor helr fldcs.
A new fashion in a modern city may
mean the decimation or even extinc-
tion OF an entire species of the lower
animals The craze for alligator skins
during the past twelve years came
very nearly making that hldeous rep
tile as dead as the dodo. When a
large animal brought two dollars In
the open market every lazy darky
down South who lived within ten
miles Of pool or bayou was out after
"gater" from dawn to dusky eve. They
killed so many that the market was
flooded after time and then the
price began to fall. 1t has gone down
steadily, and the latest advices from
the Louisiana bayous and the Florida
swamps give fifty cents for the raw
hide of saurian of more than ten feet
in length and only twenty-five for
chicken "gater." This hardly pays for
their killing, and the supply is running
down in consequence. The alligator
has now a chance for his life, and
in many districts is increasing in num-
bers perceptibly.
On the other hand, the snake family
Is experiencing great hardship. A
dealer in fine snake skins said: There
Is steady demand for the more beau
tiful kinds which we are never quite
able to fill. Some varieties are SO
popular that they bring ridiculously
high prices. The coral snake of South
America, which, by the way, Is not,
as currently believed, red creature.
but beautifully mottled scarlet, black,
rose.pink, and brown one, has gone
up from ten cents to dollar for the
raw skin in Brazil, and it is almost
impossible to get 1t in this city. The
few that are caught go to Paris and
st. Petersburg, and now and then some
are shipped to the Far East, where
they enjoy even larger popularity
than in the Occident.
"The most beautiful snake skin in
American is the marsh diamond-Dack

ida. 1t IS the king of American ophidia.
It's colors are almost metallic in their
lustre, aud they ere arranged so as to
form about as brilliant harmony as

Often he may weary be;
Yet the lion heart within him
