FOR CATARRHAL INDIGESTION


Mr.. Chas. w. Thompson. Member Of
Congress. Fifth Alabama District.
writes from Washington, u. c.:
MY cashier has used your Peru
nj for Indigestion with the most
uneNRmpled and beneficial results,
and I cannot too highly or earnest
~ recommend It's general use. So
ChaS. w. Thompson.
Indigestion is most always followed by
catarrh OF the stomach.
There Is no use OF taking remedies to
palate indigestion.
There is no use calling II dyspepsia, and
then taking pepsin and other remedies to
sroduce artificial digestion.
The only rational procedure is 10 cure
he catarrh Of the stomach. The catarrh
ace cured, Indigestion disappears, aud
here is no more dyspepsia, Taking srd-
1cial digestants is simply temporizing with
the dlficulty. In this way valuable time is
lost while the catarrh is fastening Itself
stronger and stronger upon the mucous
membrane OF the stomach.
4 very short course Of treatment with
poruna is sufficient to cure these cases.
Peruua is recommended by the highest au-
thorities and the most conspicuous people

TRIBUTE TO YANKEE INGENUITY
Chinese Paper Describes a Truly Won-
derfui Invention

Admiral Dewey was prominent
figure at the Saratoga races. Usually
he occupied box One afternoon a
little party OF farmers came up to
shake hands with him and. naturally,
the talk turned to agriculture.
When | was in the Philippines"
said the admiral. IAN American resi-
dent brought me Chinese paper. He
said this paper would interest me be-
cause it contained an account of an
American invent =. Then, with a
smile, he translated paragraph that
ran something like this:
The ingenuity of the yankee is
typified we'll in hens nest that he
has recently invented and patented.
This nest increases the laying capacity
OF the hens to an unlimited degree
In the bottom Of it there is trap door,
governed by delicate spring. The
hen lays an egg. the weight of which
causes the trap door to open, where
upon the egg drops down into sub
terreanean compartment and the door
closes very swiftly and silently again.
The hen gets up, turns to look at the
egg, but sees none there. So she de
cides that she must be mistaken il,
thinking she had laid. and she sity
down again and deposits another egg,
which, like its predecessor. disappears
The process continues indefinitely

A paragraph has been going the
rounds setting forth the small num-
Der OF women who voted in the re-
cent municipal" elections in Massa.
cfusetts and asserting that the num-
Der as constantly growing smaller.
IN boston, it is said, only 500
women cast their ballots.
The fact is that women have no
municipal suffrage in Massachu
sets. In 1879, in a burst of cener-
oslty. law which never has been re-.
pealed was passed by the legislature
providing that woman q years OF
age who could stand the educational
test and who should give notice In
writing that she wished to be az.
sessed poll tax ($2), and who should
give. under oath, statement of her
taxable property and be thereupon
assessed, and who should 90 at an
appointed time and register. and re-
peat this performance every wear.
should be allowed to vote for school
trustees. She could not attend the
primaries and help select the candi-
visors or any other officials. nor for
appropriations for new schoolhouses,
nor in the selection OF teachers, nor
on any question connected with the
public schools, bat simply could make
choice of trustees from ballot pre-
pared without her sanction.
Under these conditions men pretend
to be shocked and greved that tho
women of Massachusetts 70 not rush
en- masse to the polls To compare
the size of the woman's vote with
that Of the men under such widely
different conditions, is more than un-
fair, it is dishonest The only legiti-
mate comparison must be made in
the four states where conditions are
precisely the same, and here the
women come out Of the tes. with fly.

The indianapolis journal said in .
recent editorial referring TO the grow
ing sentiment in favor of tax-paying
women having municipal suffrage:
The conviction undoubtedly has
become widespread that they should
be allowed to assist in choosing the
officers who are to administer busi-
ness Of such direct Importance to
them. A lesser number probably be-
lieves that If all women were allowed
to vote at city elections the tendency
to political corruption would bs
checked; nevertheless. this idea is
gaining ground also.
The important interview with Prof
w. II. II, Hart of Howard university
on the race problem. which was pub
hshed recently, contained this strong
assertion
I'm the end, whatever may be the
condition now, the right of suffrage
must be the sword and shield of all
the people of a democracy. In a
monarchy it is the duty of the mobiles
to guard. protect and help the sub

with flames. Almost before the

Boys in Wheat Fields

The harvest leveled all social bar
riers, and at the same time raised the
standard of living in the country.
The sturdy college man whose mighty
muscles won him glory on the foot
ball field worked with the country
lad whose distinction lay in the fact
that he had shocked twenty acres Of
wheat in a day, rubbed elbows with
the Mississippi levee hand temporari-
ly turned harvester, slept at night in
the cool Of the open beside some
laborer, with only a wagon overhead
as shelter from the dew, and felt the
ibetter for it. And all Of these, the
college man, the leyee hand, the
country lad and the laborer, demand
ed that their employer set a
table, that would shame in abundance
and quality, the fare OF many a house
that attracts the summer boarder.
Harvest hands, in companies OF
one hundred and two hundred, were
sent from employment agencies in
the states adjacent to Kansas to
various points in the wheat belt. just
before the harvestsome farmersfound
themselves needing more help. Then
the farmer used all the guile and
promises at his command to induce
men to stop with him instead of
i%iourneying to the point to whichthey

a county convention was called to

thirteen delegates, Ordway and
Groton ten each, and Columbia and
Frederick five each. There was no
township organization at that time
and the representation was appor-
TONED to the towns and certain con-
tiguous territory. The convention
was called to elect six delegates to
the territorial convention to be held
in Grand Forks to nominate a dele
gate to congress. The Republican
was booming Geo. H. Hand for the
