II temporarily relieve catarrh
have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and
other local applications, but, as rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensa-
ton in medical circles when DR.. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a 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.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis,
writes: 81 feel obliged to extend you
my personal thanks for my complete
restoration. All through the winter l
suffered from throat and lung trouble,
but recovered my entire health by the
use of your excellent remedy, Peruna."
The following letter from a prom
inent gentleman of Los Angeles, is a
case in point:
Mr.. j. w. Fuller. President Of the
jewelers. Association of Los Angeles,
Cal. has been in business in that city
for seventeen years out of the forty-five
that he has been engaged in business.
Concerning his experience with Peruna

head for many years. 1t affected my

the use of local applications TO relieve
me but to no purpose, until my affen-

surprising and satisfactory results.
Peruna took hold of the complaint ane

The caterpillar plague in Australia is
assuming alarming proportions, and ag-
riculturists are beginning to fear for
the beautiful crops which have result
ed from the recent splendid rains. The
invasion is now extending from the
southern part of New South Wales to
the western border of the colony.
Trains are frequently stopped through
the rails being rendered slippery by
the crushed bodies of the insects, which
cross the track in countless numbers.
An extraordinary sight was witnessed
near Bathurst, where a travelling army
of caterpillars, said by eyewitnesses to
be several inches deep, utterly CON
sumed the oats in Il seventeen acre
field and the wheat in an adjoining
field within few hours.

president of n national bank.
He was ordered away 10y his physi-
clan for rest aud went to a village in

the hotel for two weeks. Then he de

He found he did not have enough
money to pay his hotel bill and railroad
fare. He did not care TO make a
check. so he walked over TO the little
bank on the public square and told the
aged banker who he was. saying he
desired to make a draft for $500 on the

"but you can make the draft, aud If

Mr.. Wilkins showed the banker his

Goyvning a Debutante.

The simplest gown for the young girl
just appearing in society is considered
the smartest. After her first two or
three appearances she may wear as
elaborate gowns as she pleases, but at
first she will stick to sweet simplicity.
Youth and simplicity are twin sisters
in the matter of dress, and the wise girl
who has discovered this fact never
again forgets it.
The debutante's gown is almost in
variably white, though occasionally a
dash or two of color is used if the style
of the girl requires it. The neck may
be finished in any one of three ways
the high neck, the surplice or the de-
collete-but the first or second is pref
cradle for the young girl just appear
ing, for they are thought more girlish,
and they distinguish her from her older
sisters and from young matrons.

Variety In Fashions.

Individual taste has free rein this
year in every department of fashion.
A woman may wear velvet, cloth or
zibeline for her gowns; may wear lin
en-, silk, wool or cotton vesting for her
shirt waist; she may wear russell or
black shoes and choose velvet, lace,
silk or felt hat, all to suit her fancy.
And in coats the same thing holds true
with but few exceptions.
The black silk coat, once omnipres-
ent, has suffered an almost complete
extinction. Even covert coats are out,
except for morning wear and shopping.
The materials now in favor are velvet,
heavy smooth cloth, zibeline and fancy
cloakings.
Fur coats are always good style, and
more of them will be worn this year
than ever, for the reason that the many
fantastic conformations allowed will
permit many women to have their half
worn fur garments made over at small
expense with low priced furs.

Senator Dcpew is something of a
philosopher as well as politician and
corporation lawyer.
He said recently that the narrowest
escape of his life was when he refused,
some thirty years ago, to advance $10,-
600 to help Alexander Graham Bell and
his father-in-law, the late Gardiner
Hubbard, to develop the new talking
telegraph" now so commonly known
as the telephone. At that time Mr..
Depew was counsel for Vanderbilt's
Harlem railroad, and Mr.. Hubbard was
railway mail inspector.
Had l accepted the proposition, y
said Senator Depew, 81 would be worth

German Army Decadence.

Considerable sensation has been made
in Paris by the appearance in the Gil
Bias OF an article entitled "The Great
ness and Decadonce of the German
Army" The author is evidently very
familiar with conditions in that scrv-
ice. Tie points lie makes are that the
general discomfort and spirit of revolt
in labor circles are extending to the
army, being taken there by the youths
from the towns and cities. BY them
it is communicated to the youth from
the country, who, at the end of their
service. take it home with them. The
immediate results are seen in the in
creasing unWillingucss of the youth of
the country to Join the colors, for they
know beforehand the severe treatment
they are likely to receive. The author
says also that the average German
officer is not only lacking in enthusl,
assn in his duties, but is actually cold
toward Them accepting them as the
dullest routine.
