runa is surely a wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections.-J. d. Botkin.
This is case of ca tarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that q man Of
wealth and influence, like Congress.
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

England and Germany the manufac-
ture of coal tar by-products is highly
developed.
1t is only within the last four or five
years that American manufacturers
have awakened to their great opportu-
nifty for making money out of coal tar.
Yes, the proposition was even al.
vanced that asphalt pavement should
be subjected to some special heating
process to extract it's mysterious by
products. The scheme was actually
tried two or three years ago some
where in Pennsylvania, but was aban-
doned. Shortly afterward large
manufacturer of pitch in Philadelphia
decided to utilize the full virtue of his
manufacture and the aniline dyes,
and even drugs and synthetic oils of
delicate perfume, are now being pro-
duced. In Chicago, with it's enormous
coal, gas and tar industries, there is
but one firm that carries this industry
beyond the making of pitch for pave
ments. This firm draws out the creo.
sote and sells it to lumber dealers
The other by-products are distilled
over in the rough and shipped off to
Philadelphia, where renewed process
of distillation mentioned above is un
dertaken. There are also some other dis
tillers in the eastern cities, and few
large factories, but the great major
ity of these make only certain prod
ucts, particularly creosote and car
bolic acid, shipping away the residue
to the next factory, which extracts an
other compound or set of compounds
Now consider comparative figures
for the coal industry in the United
States and in Europe. At present the
output annually in the United State.
is about 160,0o0,0OO tons of coal pc,
annum as against about 175,OoO,OOO 70,
the British empire, all British posses
sions included, and less than half this
amount for Germany. The coal area
of Great Britain is 1850 square miles,
quite respectable surface compared
with the 1000. square miles each OF
Prussia and of France. Recent sur.
yeys in Russia have shown that it far
surpasses its neighbors, having coal
area of 10000 to 10000 square miles,
But even Russia is poor compared with
the 214,225 square miles of rich coal
land in our country.

Atkins was more of scientist than
humorist. He adjusted his spectacles
and looked critically at the young
woman who had won our admiration.
''Her complexion does credit to coal
tar" Atkins continued, "her blonde
hair is frightened with coal tar, her
ruby lips are dyed with it, and should
| not wonder if her teeth had been
cleaned with the same stuff. 1t seems
that she has perfumed her dress with
coal tar, and, as for the gaudy ribbons,
the snow white laces, the patent leather
shoes, the beauty ensemble-coal tar
did it all. Do you see that box of bon
bons she's carrying? Well, it's more
than probable that few drops of tar
oil remnant gave them their alluring
sweetness"
What Atkins had said was all strictly
scientific. The number and variety of
products from the tar oil industry is
SIMPLY Supplying. Fifty-four totally
different products, with characteris-
tics varying as widely as pitch, carbolic
acid and mirbane perfume, are made
and marketed. One hundred and fifty
different industries obtain part of
their raw mate rial from one or the 9TH
er of these products. The most
delicate tints, the gaudiest dyes, the
finest perfumes, and that sweetest of
sweet things, 90 degrees sweeter than
sugar, the compound saccharine, be-
sides certain powerful medicines are
secured by careful distillation of
the pitchy, smeary, foul smelling stuff
that remains when coal is converted
into coke.

RUSSIA'S NOTE ON TRUSTS

Washington, July 26.-Through Mr..
Riddle, the United States charge of en-
baSsy at st. Petersburg. the state de-
partment has just received a COPY of
the Russian note touching upon trusts,
which has excited SO much comment in
Europe. This note, which takes the
form OF Il circular, was handed in at
st. Petersburg to the representatives
of all the powers that participated in
the Brussels sugar conference. and in
addition, to Riddle, for transmission
to his government.
Just why this was done i'll view of
the fact that the United States was not
can only be conjectured. and it is sup
posed that it was supplied as a matter
of information and as Il courtesy. Ger
tain it is that in the present view the
United States executive cannot partici-
pate in such Il conference as that de
scribed. because of constitutional linn
itation, that cannot be escaped, even II
there were no other objections.
From n personal of the note, which is
in official print. it appears that its ref
ereuces 10 trusts, which are rather in
cidental and alternative in character,
have attracted the principal share OF
DubIic attention. although the whole
note appears to be framed as an argu-
ment in support of the RUSSIAN sys-
TEN of regulating sugar productloh anu

tionol trust conference is actually,
therefore presented in the form OF an
alternative proposal, or rather sug-
restion. only in case the soundness OF

Ienged. ro

Batch of Tough Men to be Transferred In

Lansing, Mich, July ga transfer
of twenty-three convicts has just been
ordered by Governor Bliss on the rec
ommendation of the state board of
pardons. Nineteen will be sent from
Jackson to the branch prison at Mar
quette, two will be sent from IOnia to
Marquette, and two from Ionia to
Jackson. Those who will form the de
tachment from Jackson to Marquette
are incorrigible. Some have refused
to work, others have talked insOlently
to the prison officers, some have fought
with fellow convicts, and others have
maliciOusly destroyed tools and ma
chinery.
At least one has attempted escape,
and another has been found with dam
gerous appearing tools in his possess
sion. This is the class of cOnvicts that
Warden Freeman is obliged to receive
at his resort. The sending of four from
Ionia is due to the strenuous effort of
Warden Fuller to keep the reformatory
free from old offenders and thus relieve
the many who are sent there with
some hope of reformation from aSso-
citation with such class. One of the
convicts who goes from Ionia to Jack
soE is 81 years of age, and is in for
ten years for assault to do bodily
harm.

indeed, that it is pure fiction, but for
our purpose it is better than the truth
because the truth cannot be rounded
