scientific remedy for catarrh. It cures
catarrh wherever located. Its cures last.
Peruna gives strength by stopping
waste.
BY saving the mucus it enriches the
blood.
By cleansing the mucous membranes
it preserves the vital forces.
A constant drain of mucus from the
system is known as systemic catarrh.
This may occur from any organ Of the
body.
Peruna stops this waste by curing
the catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, no matter which organ may
be affected. Peruna cures catarrh wher-
ever located.

GIRLS STRANGE STORY
Explains Her Disappearance from
Home by Saying That Italians
Chased Her.

| The people of Mayileld were thrown
| into a state of excitement Saturday
| night through the sudden disappear
ance of a fourteenyearol girl, Ger
| trudc Shoah, who resides with her pa
rents just north of the Glenwood
breaker.
The girl was just opposite her home
on a vacant lot adjoining DR.. Jackson's
residence, picking clover for her rab-
bits, at a quarter to o'clock, and
Flew minutes later disappeared. AS the
evening wore on and the girl failed to
return, her parents got alarmed and
searching parties were organized and
the woods We're searched all night
without any trace of the missing girl.
She was finally discovered by DR..
Jackson about o'clock yesterday
morning at the home of Mrs. Carey,
above the toll gate on the Scott road.
The girl tells very strange story as
to her disappearance, and says while
picking the clover two men, presumably
Italians, who We're standing on the On
tario and Western railroad, called her
and as she stepped upon the track they
tried to get hold of her. She ran along
the track with the men in pursuit and
when nearly exhausted found herself
beyond Chapman lake, four miles away
from her home. She went to the farm
house of Mrs. Merritt who upon hear
ing the girls tale allowed her to re-
main there during the night, Early
yesterday morning she advised the girl
to return to her home, and as a milk
wagon. driven by Edgar Burton, usual
ly passes on its way to Jermyn at 6
o'clock in the morning, she gave the
girl her breakfast and when the wagon
appeared asked the driver to take her
TO Jermyn. which he willingly did and
she got off at Rushbrook street. She
saws a moment or two later she was
again accosted by the same two men
and she once more fed in the direction
of Scott. finally reaching the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Carey, above the toll gate,
where she was later found by DR.. Jack
son. The girls story Is a peculiar one
and many doubt the truthfulness of it,

a search for the men but could not find

may be well fed. We should rather
strive to attain to that moral climate
where souls thrive, and minds grow,
and consciences are illumined."
A Utopian Dream.
The outlook, he admitted is not a
very glorious one. The attainment OF
real success by the many is apparently
a Utopian dream. All men are equal
In natural endowments, he said, and
inequality begins only in the will. Men
have no desire to attain real success
and so they become moral failures.
"As we look at the race and this
little ant-heap which 1t inhabits,' said
he In conclusion, 1--WE are forced to the
conclusion that 1t were all failure, all
emptiness, were 1t not for the love OF
God shining upon us through religious
faith We are but a little breed
of microbes here below, fighting and
wrestling and doing little things In a
little space called history. Without
that love of God. without that faith
speak OF, all would be mockery. and
who would care whether he succeeded
or failed? 1t would be all the same.
Therefore, I have no hestancy In say
ing that in the end religion is the deep
est thought in this question of success;
1t is the mightiest impulse for the
building of mans body and soul"
And so ended one of the few really
intellectual lectures given III this city,
and lecturer who had not told a single
funny story. nor permitted himself to
use any of the tricks of the ordinary
platform speaker. left the stage in an
outburst Of tumutuous applause.

$50 hands. A very large percentage Of
these will be women, though there will

for this class of work is much higher
than the rate paid in throwing mills.
