That Peruna is. not only vigorous, as

catarrh is beyond controversy. 1t is already
established by its use by the thousands who

highly express my appreciation of its ex-

DIR. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes:
Peruna is the best medicine know of
for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach
and to give appetite. Beside prescribing
it for catarrh, l have ordered it for weak
and debilitated people. and have not had a
patient but said it helped him. Its an ex-

Il have large practice and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. 1 hope
you may live long to do good to the sick
and suffering.
Only the weak need tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One Of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh infames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasna to escape |
through the mucous membrane in the form |
of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the |
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents !

UNITED STATES IS
 COURTING TROUBLE
MAX NORDAU, THE FOREIGN
 WRITER, DEEPLY DEPLORES THE GROWTH OF MILITARY IM-
 PERlALlSM. p

Vienna, January 1-In the course of an exhaustive review of the history of the world contributed to the Neue F'rei Preshe by Max Nordau, the writer deep ly deplores the growth of military impe- rialism in the United States, and says that by the admission of the spirit of militarism, which was formerly rigor- ously excluded, America Is raising obsta- cles to the entrance of emigrants whose only capital is their strong working arms.
 Speaking of the future of the world, Nordau says the opening of the Panama canal under American ownership will mark the beginning of new epoch. The tragic stage of the worlds history which, ir ancient times, centered in the Mediter- ranean, and which moved in the naval ages 10 the Atlantic, will then be trans ferre6 to tie Pacific ocean. At first the Anglo-Saxcr element will seek to drive out the German and French flags floating over single points on the Pacific ocean; then the struggle will be carried further to the Asatic coast where Anglo-Saxons and Russians will have to decide the mo- mentous world question of whether east ern and scl.thern Asia shall remain Brit ish or Rus ssian. To this forecast Nordau adds:
 "One can only imagine with horror what such gigantic struggle of nations and races will signify.

In the fifth round Cans succeeded in landing several good blows on Gardiner with telling effect. In theS sixth Gardiner came back with the taftics which characterized the first few rounds of the bout and relied on his foot work to escape Cans. The referee repea tedly warned Gardiner, who clinched at eYery opportunity. but with little eff feet. In the eleventh round Gardiner caught Cans about the waist and threw him heavily to the floor. Referee Willis immediately stopped the bout and gave the decision to Cans. Fifteen hundred persons witnessed the fight.

TRIED TO CUT OFF
 HAND TO GET RING
YOUNG HlGHWAYMAN IN PRES.
 ENcE OF CROWD ATTEMPTS TO
 SEVER WoMAN's FINGER TO SE- CURE DIAMONDS WORTH $500.

New York January 1.-Henry Good man, 19 years old, was arrested just be- fore midnight, charged with having at tempted to cut off a young womans hand to obtain the diamond rings displayed on her fingers. The attack was made in the full view of scores of merry-makers, in- cluding the womans escort.
 Miss May Matthews and Miss May Lewis started out with their escorts for an automobile ride, and later went to supper. It was after Il o'clock when the start was made for home. Soon some thing went wrong with the machine and the two men got down to examine 1t. Miss Lewis held a handbag which contained q small amount of money. On the fingers of Miss Matthews left hand glittered dia- monds worth. it is said, fully $500.
 Suddenly from the crowd sprang a young man who held in one hand knife with a long and exceedingly keen blade. From Miss Lewis he grabbed the bag she was carrying, and then, seizing Miss Matthews by the fingers, he drew his knife across her knuckles, cutting a deep SasH. lHe SouHB WoiidH Shileheu lroui fright and pain, and her assailant, with out making another effort to sever her hand, brandished his knife in the faces of those who sprang to the rescue, and dashed west along Houston street After a long chase he was captured. but did not surrender until beaten into subjecton by policeman.
 The general impression was that an at to ,i,.I and had 1t not been for the policeman into whose hands Goodman fell, he would have fared badly. The officer had to fight off the pursuers and at the same time prevent his prisoner from stabbing him with the knife which had been used on Miss Matthews hand. With much diff culty Goodman was taken to the station house, where he said he intended to cut off the girls hand for the rings she wore.

A DESTROYER OF GERMS.
The Universal Apple.

From Country Life.
 The latest estimate places the total number of apple trees of bearing age in the United States at something over two hundred millions. This is nearly three trees to every person. These trees yield more than one hundred and seventy-five million bushels. Not all these apples are consumed at home for in years of full crop more than three million bushels go abroad. Yet the apples kept at home are more than two bushels for every adult and child. We are a nation of apple-eat- CTS. This fact may not be to our credit however, when we remember that a good part of all these apples are Ben Davis and other kinds that a refined and culti- vated taste would not choose for its de- sert Yet probably half our people never raise an apple; and of the half who do raise them. but small percentage grows for market; and of those who grow for market only part make a profit from the business. Yet there is money in ap- pie growing.
