PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME.
Letter From Congressman Whte of
PE.RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without II.

No Family Should Be Without II.
nERUNA is great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
= the men; 1T is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments of
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success
has been in the use of Peruna in their
families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 1913 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
II will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. I took a severe cold
which gave me hard cough. All doc
tors medicines 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 stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is'well.
ST cannot express my thanks in
words, but I recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for I can con-
scientiously say that there is no medi-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness Of
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, I AMI. ]. Scher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
81 consider Peruna an indispensable
article 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. Iconsider
it of special value to weakly women,
as it builds up the general health,
drives out disease and keeps you in
the best of health. Mrs. Mamie Wal
lace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. It is just as sure to cure case
of catarrh of the bowels as it is a case
| of catarrh of the head.

by the barn. Instead they were
perched on the fence posts and in the
limbs of other trees.
1T struck me as mighty funny, as
turkeys on the place had roasted in
that tree ever since L could remember.
| mentioned it to my wife when went
in the house, and she said she had no.
ticed it when we drove in and thought
it peculiar.
THAT night about midnight hard
wind and rainstorm came up and the
old buttonwood blew down. Now, how
did those turkeys know that tree
was doomed? At shutdown there was
no sign of storm, and the buttonwood
was fully so years old and apparently
as stanch as ever. ] tell you, I've had
great respect for the Judgment OF
turkeys since then"

heroes. Few readers of recent short
stories are unacquainted with Bucks"
who figures conspicuously in several of
Mr.. Spearman's best sketches. Re-
Gently q young man wrote to Mr..
Spearman stating that he had deter
mined TO go into the railroad service
and that there was not railroad
man in the country under whom he
would SO much like to learn the bust
ness as Bucks. A stamp was inclosed
with The request that Mr.. Spearman
would forward the address of Gen
eral Manager Bucks The young
man was no doubt disappointed on
being informed that he would find
Bucks in authority on almost
every railroad in the country.

formed crook" he gained Mr.. Fried
mans confidence and one night volun-
teered to conduct the novelist through
the toughest tenement in Chicago. The
invitation was accepted, but before
starting the author, in the presence
of his host, emptied his pockets of
his valuables and left them with a
police officer. Then the pilgrimage
was made and he was given view
of squalor in the criminal quarters
not often seen by a member of the
literary craft. eff there hadn't been
so many of 'em," consolingly re-
marked his guide as they came out
from between the lines of hunks,
your life wouldn't have been worth
so CENTS" In proof of the novelist's
faith IN this statement he at once
cut the acquaintance of the famous
Sleepy" and frequently crossed the
street to avoid meeting him.

in the editorial Office of the At
lantic Monthly. 1t is five years
since the late Horace E. Scud.
der resigned the editorship of that
magazine; IL years have passed since
Thomas Bailey Aldrich held it's edi-
torial chair, and William Dean How
ellis relinquished the control of the
editorial fortunes of that publica-
ton 21 years ago. Notwithstanding
these facts single delivery of mail,
the other day, brought letters to Will
liam Dean Howells, Thomas Bailey
Aldrich and Horace Scudder, each adj
dressed in the capacity of Editor of
the Atlantic Monthly. And occa-
sionally letters are received for
James Russell Lowell and James T.
Fields, from persons who believe
that the fortunes of the Atlantic are
still actively guided by one or the
other Of these long departed wor-
thies.
The honors of an editorship dis
charged with distinguished ability
would appear to be well-nigh as i'm
mortal as almost any other form OF
literary service.

TURKEYS ARE NOT STUPID.
One Brood in Virginia That Knew
Very Well When the Roost Was
in Danger

People generally think turkeys
have the least sense of all the de-
nestle fowls" said Frank Wilkinson.
Virginia farmer, the other day, re-
lates the Washington Star, 'but I've
got some that seem to have more gray
matter than great many human be-
ings / know.
Zone night short time ago my wife
and I and some visitors were out driv-
ing in the evening. As I was putting
up the horses after returning home
noticed my turkeys were not roosting
as usual in the big buttonwood tree

These democratic toilers cha racterize
the author of "a Crimson Wing" as a
good fellow" and declare tat he is
none the worse for having by phenat-
ed name forced upon him aion 9 with
snug fortune, or because he happens
to know how to lead a cotillion. Few
historical romances have had so
strange a history as this one of Mr.
Chatfield-Taylor's novels. 1t was
cast originally as a drama of the
American revolution, with Francis
Marion as the chief character. Then
he put it in the form of novel; but
the flood of revolutionary plays and
romances caused him to seek another
setting and he chose the Franco-Ger-
man war. Becoming attached to
minor character. he once more recon
structed his entire book, making
Marguerite Clarion, the French ac-
tress, the heroine instead of Law
figure.

tempts to induce him personally to en-
ter politics. Repeatedly the members
of his party in Toledo, his home city,
have attempted to induce him to be-
come candidate for congress, for the
bench and for police commissioner.
Last fall, however, when Mr.. Whit
lock was absent from Toledo, MAX
ing the concluding studies for his re-
cent novel, convention of his party
was held and he was unanimously
chosen as candidate for the state SEN
ate. When he found this out he tried
to have the action rescinded, but in
vain. He had his revenge, however,
in pointing to his own defeat at the
polls and saying 81 told you SOL"
But this argument was weak from
the fact that he ran far ahead of the
other candidates on his ticket. Mr..
Whitlock was formerly a newspaper
man in Chicago and is now a member
of prosperous law firm in Toledo
and close friend of Golden Rule"
Jones.

Chicago & Alton Inaugurate Novelty
Between Chicago and
KanSaS Civ

A grill room chair car has been introduced
into service by the Chicago & Alton between
Chicago and Kansas City. In the fore part
of the car is a small kitchen connected with
fitted after the style of a small American
dining room. Other rooms will be finished
after the English and German styles The
grill rooms of the cars put in service are
finished throughout in mahogany, with
small, well-stocked and ornamented side
can be seated. The kitchen is isolated and
the diners are in close touch at all times
with the steward-cook. The decorations are
elaborate. The tableware, including the
china, is made to correspond with the gen.
eral decoration, whether American, English
or German, as the case may be. This innova-
ton adds to the enjoyment of travelling, as
meal consisting of anything from sand
wlch to champagne supper can be ordered
at any hour of the day or evening.

that the installment closed at the
most exciting passage, she protested
strongly against such unfair treat

planned that this was very good BUSH

letter to DIR. Hartman in regard to the
merits of the great catarrh cure, Pc
runa:

excellent remedy for the grip and ca.

and they all Join me In recommending
1t as an excellent remedy"
Very respectfully,
George II. White.
Peruna is an internal, scientific, sys-
temic remedy for catarrh. 1t is no
palliative or temporary remedy; it is
thorough in it's work, and in cleansing
abe diseased mucous membranes cures
the catarrh.
