Many Women Have Catarrh
 and Don't Know 1t.
They Gall 1t Stomach TrOu- bIe, Female Weakness or
 General Debility.
Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh
 Wherever Located.

m HERE are a great many people who
 are actually Inyalids from chronic catarrh of some internal organ who have not the slightest suspicion that they are victims of this universal dis- ease.
 This is especially true In eases or chronic catarrh of the organs in the lower part of the abdomen, or pelvic organs.
 The pelvic organs are especially ha- ble to catarrh which gives rise to weak ening discharges, painful irregularities, backache, bearing-down pains smarting and throbbing with host of other symp- toms, peculiar to weak persons of both sexes, but occurring much more frequent ly in women, when 1t is called female weakness.
 There are a multitude of women, es- pecially housewives, and all other wom- en obliged to be on their feet continually, who are wretched beyond description, simply because their strength and vital- ity Is sapped away by catarrhal dis charges.
 Peruna is such a specific for such cases that when patients have once used it

uently transferred to another and the like. This provision became necessary, according to Mir Brandenburg, by req son of the fact that in many of the state courts the business is congested and the delays are such as to materially pre- vent the mercantile interest from get ting proper satisfaction. Furthermore in the state court proceedings by trustee are not entitled to any particular favor so far as tie time of trial is concerned, while in federal court, as a rule, bank ruptcy matters are entitled to an early hearing, which is in line with the policy of the law that when a man becomes in- solvent his estate must De expeditions ly settled and closed in order that If there is anything for the creditors they may get 1t without the lengthy delays which were so common in many states under tke local practice. This provision is of particular interest in Kentucky owing to the recent Mueller -Nugent case decided by the Supreme court.
 Fees Are Charged.
 The fees of the referee and trustee are also slightly changed in the line of mak- ing the charges uniform throughout the United States and by reason of an ad- ditional amendment the fees thus re- ceived are to be in full of all compensa- ton and prevents the practice Tn some courts of allowing large fees for tho filing of proofs of claim and the like. There is perhaps no provision of the law in which the public was more anxious for relief than that with reference to the proof of claims. The law as Inter preted by the Supreme court in the case of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Go. vs- The Chicago Title and Trust company was held to require that whenever a man had received a payment on account, be- fore he could prove his claim for the balance it was necessary that he first surrender the payment he had thus re- ceiyed. While this certainly was not the intent of congress yet the Supreme court so interpreted it. As amended a creditor may retain a payment he has received on account and prove his claim for the balance and he is only required to sur render 1t if it was received within four months of the filing of the petition and the person who received it or to be bene- fited thereby had reasonable cause to be- lieve that 1t was intended to create a preference, or where property had been conveyed. transferred, assigned or en- cumbered in favor of one with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud his creditors This protects a person who has received payments On account in the usual course of business.

 Here the instructor encountered some trouble or forgot his technique" He showed how the chips represented so much money and when a person had ac- cumulated a stack how be could cash in The chips were so badly mixed, how ever, that the denominational value could not be ascertained and as a result the ladies asked many perpleXing questions These chips should be arranged in order immediately, and sold in stacks so that the visitors can fully appreciate their sig nificance.
 Passing from the crap table the ladies entered a faro bank and here the gentle man from Monte Carlo fell down. Some of the cards in the deck were missing, making a deal very difficult. The marker showed that the King and Ace were still out and that the deal had not been com pleted. This was little intricate for some of the spectators and they moved up to the stud poker table.
 This is a stud poker table," explained the gentleman, and he was certainly right for big sign said the same thing. ''The dealer sits in the middle" con- tinued the instructor, "and the players sit around. The game is played some thing like draw poker except that four of the cards are turned face upward and the betting depends on the card with the back up." Though he didn't say so,

tion apart and left the creditor to re- sort to state court for the purpose of en- forcing his rights against such exempt property if possible.
 The amendments to the act will make some radical changes in favor of pro- tecting the commercial interests of the country. It adds an addition act of bank ruptcy by making the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the purpose of taking charge of the property of an in- solvent an act of bankruptcy.
 It frequently happened that notwith- standing a corporation or individual were notoriously insolvent they were able to defeat the provisions of the bankruptcy law and thus prevent the setting aside of preferential payments and transfers In fraud of the law by voluntarily plac- ing them in the hands of a receiver. With hardly an exception the courts have held that this was not an act of bank ruptcy as 1t was not one of the cases specified in the law Another amendment which is of particular interest at the present time is the one which author izes the adjudication of a mining cor poration as an involuntary bankrupt. Nearly all of the authorities held that a company engaged in mining was not engaged in manufacturing and mercan- tile pursuits and therefore not compre- hended by the law as it originally stood. It also adds a very important provision which is to the effect that the bankruptcy of a corporation shall in no wise release the officers, directors or stockholders from liability under the laws of the state or the United States.
 Was Insufficient.
 The law originally enacted was found to be insufficient to meet many cases of fraudulent debtors. accordingly 1t has been materially strengthened by refusing discharge whenever the bankrupt has first where one obtains property on credit upon materially false statements in writ ing made to such persons for the purpose of obtaining such property on credit; second, within four months of conceal ed or permitted to be removed, destroy ed or concealed, any of his property with intent to hinder, delay or defraud his creditors; or, third, involuntary pro- ceedings has been granted a discharge in bankruptcy within six years; and, fourth, in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings has refused to obey any law ful order or to answer any material ques- tion approved by the court.
 Another important provision which is amended by the present bin is that which authorizes a trustee in bankruptcy to in- stitute proceedings in federal court for the purpose of recovering property fraud-

 A plain, everyday laboring reporter ac- companied by young lady strolled into the exhibition hall a day of late and stood Tor a moment abashed. hesitant and with a look yearning for information. To his eyes the big iron barred doors. the bright green cloth, the whirling wheel and the odd expressions were strange.

The numbers are alternately red and black and a player can bet either the colors or the numbers. A dollar Is placed on, say, number %. The wheel is spun around and a marble is dropped upon 1t.
