 "To a society woman whose nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals l know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. l took it few months ago when l felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and health Miss Blanch Grey.
 Mrs. K Schneider, 2409 Thirty-sev- enth Place, Chicago, H., writes:
 After taking several remedies with out result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sink ing feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering with systemic catarrh, and l believe that l received your help in the nick of time. l fol- lowed your directions carefully and can say to-day that l am well again. l cannot thank you enough for my cure"
 Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo- cated. Peruna is not guess nor an experimental is an absolute scien- tifc certainty. Peruna has no substi- tutes-no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.

HALF MILLION IDLE.
Frank Sargent Thinks Soft Coal
Miners VIII Go Out.

st. Louis. May 2s-Frank P. Sargent.
head Of the B. u L. F., member Of the
National Arbitration commission of which
Senator Hanna is chairman, stated today,
the Post-Dispatch says, that a general
sympathetic strike Of all the soft coal
miners in the United States probably would
be ordered He declared that the miners
of the Pennsylvania coal region had re-
fused absolutely to treat with the regular
ly-constituted arbitration board, and
sympathetic strike of the soft coal men
was the only recourse.
The anthracite miners continued Mr.
Sargent, asked very little and were will
ing to make concessions, but the attitude
of the operators from the start was such
that did not hesitate to suggest the strike
to John Mitchell I do not see at this time
any hope Of a compromise.
The coal barOns believe they are mas
ters of the situation, while the WOrkmen
are equally confident of their strength and
their chances Of success.
There are 10000 men idle as g. result OF
the strike.
There are between 425. 900 and $4,000 soft
coal miners throughout the country and
not one union in my judgment would hest
tate a moment to respond favorably to a
call for general strike. That there win
positively be such a strike can not say
officially Ny opinion IS based solely on
conferences I have had with President
Mitchell and other leaders"
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN COAL
New York. May &.-Another advance OF
50 cents a ton was made in the price Of
soft coal by the retail dealers throughout
the city today, making the price s.. This
makes an advance of about S1.60 per ton
since the anthracite strike was begun.
