Would Buy

Live Stock World: The southern cattle
situation Is by no means obscure. North
ern graziers doubtless want stock, but
are determined to buy them lower than
last year. On the other hand, breeders
in Texas are standing pat for last years
prices. This Is the situation in a nut
shell.
Something will doubtless be doing at Ell
Paso next week. Last year was an ex-
ceptional season. Demand was keen, beef
prices high and northern cattlemen were
hungry for stock. This year competition
is not so Keen. But in former years lit
tie actual trading has been done in add
vance of the Fort Worth gathering and
the fact that no deals have been closed
this year does not indicate by any means
that southern cattle will not be wanted.
AS far as can be learned a difference of
50 to So per head exists between intending
buyers and would-be sellers. Inference
may be drawn hat as usual the southern
man wants to sell his cattle and that the
northerner is as anxious to replenish his
herds. 1t is not improbable that it will
be a case of split the difference at Ell
PaSo.

A GREAT many remedies to temper

from time to time. such as sprays,
snufs creams and other local applications,
but, as rule, the medical profession has
little or no enthusiasm in the treatment
of catarrh. .a....
1t is generally pronounced by them to be
incurable. ~.
1t therefore created a great sensation in
medical circles when DIR. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised a compound
which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and in a
short time became known to thousands Of
catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna
is radical cure for catarrh began to pour
in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file in
the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.
