CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE.
Scientist Has Powder That Brings
Dead Animals to Life.

DR.. G. w. Littlefield of Alexandria,
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his Investigations of the vital
principles Of life, experimenting with
cats, dogs, monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs solution of saline
origin, with salt as the basis, saturat-
ed with oleo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere of
free ammonia. Having secured this
saline solution, DR.. Littiefield reduces
it to powder. 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course OF experiments.
For instance, having put to death
a dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
legations that all life is extinct, DR..
Littlefield takes the corpse and with
out preparation of any kind, places
it upon heated stone or porcelain
plate, brought to a temperature cor
lSbpouulub " LudL Vi the NORMAL DOQy,
and covers it thoroughly with light
layer of the powder.
Within three or four minutes from
the time the powder has been coated
over the dead body signs Of life man
ifest themselves, and within fifteen
minutes after the resuscitating meth
ods were begun in every instance, the
subject has returned to normal life.
cat remained dead two hours, and
during this time was allowed to re-
main in the hot sun until rigor mortis
had set in. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned to consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing drop of the liquid
with minute particles of solid sub
stance in it under a microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life.

nor the machine showed any effects Of

Not an accident Of any kind happened

She knows the machine thoroughly and

was an outing. They carried their own
tent and provisions and ate and camped
along the road wherever fancy took
them. They left Seattle on August 81,
but Carmack says they were really
travelling only about twenty days.
They were not out for records, and the
highest daily runs were not more than
sixty-five miles.
Some of the grades were SO heavy"
Carmack said, that the automobile slid
down without the wheels moving. put

turned the power on SO that we simply
had to slide down. The machine weighs
a ton itself, and we had 200 pounds of

pounds of gasoline and ourselves, so
you can guess how steep the road was"

CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON.
Letter From the Executive Officer of Oregon

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton Instrumentation testifying to the
merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hum
dreds 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 statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om-
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
it's victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and SO forth.

John G. Groom, captain of the First
City troop, while In Porto Rico during
the war with Spain, undertook to pur-
chase some relics Of historic interest
that should serve as souvenirs Of the
campaign when he returned home. He
ran across q shrewd Portuguese who
had been doing thriving business as
an antiquarian" with other members
Of the troop; and bargaining at once
began. The fellows assurance was
developed beyond anything Capt.
Groom had ever before encountered;
and there was placed on display fine
array of jewelry, weapons, manu-
scripts and odd articles of attire that
were patiently fakes" Groom shook
his head and was turning away when
the antiquarian" recalled him with
an assertion that he had pistol which
was originally the property Of Chris
topher Columbus. He added that 1t
had been in the keeping of Peruvian
relative for many years; and Capt.
Groom asked to see 1t. He was shown
q revolver of modern pattern, dingy
and rust-encrusted. with the hammer
snapped as though in the processes of
"antiquitating."
"You rogue!" exclaimed the Phila-
delphian, amused but irritated at hav-
ing been called back. "Revolvers were
not made in Columbus day!"

planned the Portuguese. "And that,

Twenty.Pound cabbaees in Cuba.

In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh
as much as twenty pounds. All vege-
tables do well. Radishes may be eat
en- from fourteen to eighteen days af-
ter sowing. while corn produces three
crops per year. Sweet potatoes are
perpetual. The natives dig up the
tubers, cut them off and plant the old
vines, which produce a new crop in
three months. All sorts of fruit, hor-
ticu,tural and greenhouse plants and
dubious stock are also grown with the
most gratifying success.

NEGROES oRow RICH FAST.

1t is not in the South that the richest
negroes are found, although many in
that region have amassed a goodly
store of property since the war. Doubt
less the wealthiest community of COL
ored people in the world is found
among the Creek Indians in Indian ter

and they are worth on an average OF

yet their education is far from COM

crude in the extreme and progress goes

Unlike the other Indians of the rich
five civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted
upon freeing their slaves to give them

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use

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 Pc
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 9TH

other family in the United States should
do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house Use it
for couR IS, colds, la grippe, and other

will be no other ailments in the house.
