The above map has been carefully
compiled from United States documents
by The Peruna Medicine Company, of
Columbus, Ohio. The figures were
taken from the latest mortal statistics
tirely agree with the archives kept at
The Hartman Sanitarium.
The figures on each state represent
the total number of deaths from ca
tarrhal diseases during the last CEN
sus year.
This is an appalling state of nf-
fairs. This nation has got to con-
front the fact that catarrh has be-
come n national curse. Catarrhal
diseases threaten the life of our
people. Over One-haIf of the peO-
pie suffer from some form or degree
of catarrh.. Fully tbirty-nve mill
lion people are personally interest
ed in the discovery of a radical ca
tnrrh cure. Peruna is the main ex-
PectntiOn in this direction. Perunn
is an internal, systemic catarrh
remedy. Its cures are so prompt
ing world wide attention.
From Every State in the Union.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh
are constantly pouring in from every
state in the Union. Thousands of such
letters are on file in the office of The
Peruna Medicine Company

FIVE YEARS GUARANTEE.
Is what Michigan Beet Sugar Men
Want of the Treaty.

Is what M1chtEnn Beet Sugar Men
Want of the Treaty.
Washington, Jan. 10.-For three days
representatives of the beet sugar in
dustry of Michigan have been in con-
ference in this city. not only among
themselves and other beet sugar pro-
ducers from other states. but also the
Michigan delegation in Congress.
To-day Senator Burrows had a long
interview with President Roosevelt,
during which, it is understood, he in
dicated to him that the Cuban reci-
procity treaty now pending in the SEN
ate was not satisfactory to the beet
sugar interests of his state, and that
il was likely to encounter serious op-
position unless it could be so amended
as to provide that the concessions
made to Cuba as to tariff rates should
remain in force five years. What the
Producers chiefly desire is stability of
rates, which would enable them to put
additional capital in their industry and
develop it further with some assurance
of success.
So far as is known the President mas
not indicated what his attitude might
be concerning the proposition to amend
the pending treaty.

WORTH KNOWING
At This Season of the Year.

Any cough accompanied by expec-
toration which lasts over three or four
days. requires attention and treat
ment; this does not mean a visit to
the hospital, nor to your physician
nor wholesale drugging with patent
medicines; but it means that some
simple, harmless effective antispetic
remedy like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
should be used to ward off any pos
sible termination in Pneumonia, Chron-
ic Catarrh, Bronchitis or Consump-
ton.
All of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold, neglected or al
lowed to run its course and it is only
the exercise of common every day eau
ton to cure a cold as quickly as pos
sible, not so much for what ii is at
the moment, but what 1t may become
if neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe reli-
able and convenient to stop a cold or
obstinate cough as Stuarts Catarrah
Tablets.
The extract of blood root contained
in them combined with the red gum
of the Eucalyptus tree seem to put
the mucous membrane of the nose,
mouth and throat in condition to
throw off the germs of catarrh, bron-
chitis and consumption, and as they
are taken internally they seem to
equalize the circulation and place the
body in that condition of health which
resists, and throws OFF the germs OF
disease.
A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold, and If he does, throws
1t on in day or two, but, where the
cold hangs on. stopping up the nos
trils, irritating the throat or there is
persistent annoying cough it is evil
dent that the system for some reason
is unable to throw off the disease
germs which cause the trouble; a lit
tie assistance is necessary, and this
is best given by the use of some harm
less germ destroying antiseptic like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which are
also palatable and equally so for chill
dren and adults
Druggists sell these tablets at 80
cents full sized package, higher In
price than troches and cheap, cough
syrups, but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
contain antiseptic properties which
actually cure colds, catarrh and throat
and lung troubles while it is a motor
ious fact that cough drops and cough
syrups are largely composed of opium
cocaine and similar drugs that have
no curative power.
II is also true that many popular
liquid medicines and tonics for catarrh
depend upon the alcohol they contain
which give simply a temporary stimu-
lation of no real benefit for any
trouble catarrhal or otherwise.

ANOTHER SIDE OPENS
COAL COMPANY LAYS EVIDENCE
BEFORE COMMISSION.
THE DELAWARE AND HUDSON
TELLS OF ITS RELATIONS WITH ITS
MINERS.

Three Witnesses Represented the
Company-They showed the Scale
of Wages Paid the Miners-WOrk
of Breakers Not Hazardous, and
the Pay Is Good for the Manual
Labor - President Mitchell Ques-
toned the Witnesses-He Is Look
ing Ont for the Unions Interests.
Philadelphia, Jan. 1O.-The represen-
tatives of the Delaware and Hudson
Company, the first of the coal compa-
mics to present its side of the contro-
versy with the anthracite mine work.
ers to the Strike Commission, occupied
both sessions to-day.
Three persons appeared before the
arbitrator on behalf of the company.
They were James H. Torrey of Scran-
ton, the company's principal counsel in
the absence of David Wilcox, the vice
president and general counsel of the
company, who is i'll, Charles c. Rose of
Scranton, superintendent of the min
ing department of the company, and
Abel /. Culver of New York, controller
of the company. Mr.. Torrey made an
address indicating what the company
intended to prove. Supt. Rose told of
the conditions in and about the COM
pany's twenty-four coIlieries, and Con-
troller Culver presented the wage state
ments and other statistics having a
bearing on the issues before the COM
mission.
Chairman Gray, who is i'll. was I'M
able TO be present, and Gen. Wilson
again presided.
Statement of the Company.
Mr.. Torrey began. the days proceed
ings by reading his statement. II de-
clares there is no merit in the miners
demand for a 20 per cent. increase in
wages, and that the breakers have OPP
Grated on an average of less than eight
hours a day. The statement says the
general average of wages was $51S95
for men and $l96,93 for boys. II is
claimed that there Is no manual en-
ployment requiring so little training
or skill. the exposure to so little risk
of health or life, and the occupation
of so small a portion of the working
day. which is so literally compensat-
ed in wages as the work of the an
thracite MINER" and that the employ
ment is not extra hazardous. and is
more than ordinarily healthful. An
agreement with the miners union is de-
clared undesirable, and the relations of
the company with it's men are said to
have been harmonious until they were
disturbed by the Vaccinations of the
officers and agents of the union.
Mr.. Rose took the stand Immediate
ly after the close of Mr.. Torreys re-
marks. Under examination by Mr.. Tor
rey the superintendent said that prior
to the strike in 1900 the relations be-
tween the company and the men were
cordial. but that most of its men had
since joined the miners union which
resulted in considerable discomfort and
the breaking up of discipline. The wit
ness said the company requires the
men to load from 1850 to 1850 hundred

AND SO
She Found How the Coffee Habit
Could Be Easily Left Off.

She Found How the Coffee Habit
Could Be Easily Left OFF.
my husband had coffee dyspepsia
for number of years. writes lady
from Dundee, N. Y. Coffee did not
agree with him as it soured on his
stomach, and he decided to stop it.
We felt the need of some warm
drink and tried several things, but
were soon tired of them. Finally a
friend told me of the good Postum
Food Coffee had done her family, and
l ordered package from the grocer.
We have used it for three years
with splendid result. 1t agrees per-
fectly with his stomach and dyspepsia
has entirely left him. 1 find in talking
to people who have used Postum and
not liked it that the reason is that
they do not let it boil long enough.
When prepared according to directions,
it makes a beautiful clear, golden
brown beverage like a highest grade
of coffee in color.
1--WE let the children have Postum
every morning and it agrees with them
nicely and they thrive on it. 1 am
sure that if everyone using coffee
would change to Postum that the per-
centage of invalids would be far less
than it is at present" Name given
by Postum Company, Battle Creek,
Mich.
1t is easy to change from coffee to
Postum and the benefit is sure and
quick, for Postum is composed only of
the grains intended by Nature for
mans subsistence and it goes to work
in Natures way to correct the dis
orders caused by coffee and rebuild the
broken down blood and nerve cells. A
ten days trial of Postum will prove
this to the most skeptical.
