IN BEHALF OF THE LOBSTER.
United States Fish Commission to
Increase Supply of Him in the
Future.

IF the lobster-which comes near
to being the national sea foods
not preserved it will not be the fault
of the United States fish commission.
The commission has worked with ex-
ceptional industry this year to in
crease the number of Holsters in the
waters off the New England coast,
and there are signs that some prog
ress is being made, although the de-
mand is growing, says the New York
Mail and Express.
The great trouble about cultivat ting
Holsters is that if you put IL lob
sters-little fellows-into a vat, and
one happens to be a little older than
the others there will be but one lob
ster in the vat at the end of a week.
This one lobster will be the oldest
of the outfit, and the other Holsters
will be in him.
The lobster appreciates to the full
est extent the sweetness of his own
meat. and in addition there are many
species of fish that feed upon the
lobster. So, between the fondness
of the human race, the fishes of the
deep and Holsters themselves for
lobster meat the government has had
a hard time to prevent the extermi-
nation of the species.
The latest systems for Matching
and cultivating Holsters, however,
are proving a success, and there is
expected to be a gain in the supply
III the next few years. 1t may be
noted that crabs, both hard and soft
smell, are also nigh determination
from the same causes that get the
lobster into trouble. Crabs and beer
are quite the thing in Washington
in the summertime, but during the
present season the crabs have been
dispensed with because the supply
was not equal to the demand.-N. Y.

DERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as we'll as
= the men; it 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, 1o3 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
II will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. l took severe cold
which gave me hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. l 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 iswell.
81 cannot express my thanks in
words, but l recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for l 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 astonishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, AMI. j. Scher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
81 consider Peruna an indispensable BILE
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. consider
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. 1t is just as sure to cure case
of catarrh of the bowels as it is case
of catarrh of the head.
