After all the personal experience of one man is worth more than the theo- retical guesses of a thousand men. MT. Jenkins knows what he is talking about when he recommends Peruna, because he has tried it. Peruna cures catarrh because it reaches the source of catarrh.
 Peruna cleanses the blood of its inn purities because itregulates those organs that make blood.
 Peruna keeps the system in fine, healthy condition, because it restores the functions of every organ, and brings vigor to the organic nervous system.
 MT. Jenkins is right. Peruna is a care

COMMITTEE GOES HOME.
Miners Convention Will Consist of
 1000 Delegates.

Scranton, Pa, May 10-After issu- ing the order for temporary cessa- tion of work in the colleries and a call for miners convention in HaZle- ton on Wednesday next, the twenty eight members of the executive com mittee of the three anthracite districts of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica made all possible haste to get back to their homes. They will at once assume charge of the elections of the delegates to the convention, the basis of election being one delegate for each 100 members. This will pro- duce a convention of more than 1000 delegates.
 While there is certain to be a diff ference of opinion on the advisability of striking at once or postponing such action until the conditions are more favorable for winning, whatever action is taken by the convention will be an- nounced as unanimous. This is re- qu1red by the rules of the organiza- tion. There Is a general opinion that the convention will be in session sev- eral days before decision is reached.
 While the business men of the an- thracite region deplore the strike and feel that its effects will be disastrous if one is ordered, they are almost unanimous in the opinion that MT. Mitchell did all he possibly could do to avert such radical action. Nobody here doubts that the miners will to man obey the order for a temporary strike.
 There is a strong sentiment among the miners in this district that Presi- dent Mitchell is opposed to a strike, and no matter how the operators may view it, the Mine Workefs' Union can not afford to refuse to engage in the conflict, which the men say the opera tors are indifferent about.
 This will have big influence to. wards an an anti-strike vote at the meetings Monday afternoon.
