WORK FOR COUSINS.
Believe He Will Be Chairman
of the Convention

Washington, Dec. 14.-National Com
mitteeman Hart and the friends Of
Congressman Cousins on the Iowa del
egatiOn have been doing effective work
in behalf of Mr.. Cousins for temporary
chairman Of the republican national
convention. They feel now that
his selection is assured. The
discussion of the temporary
Craftsmanship now is of course informal
as final action will not be taken until
the convention. The selection of Mr..
Cousins is urged because of his ability
as an orator n because in his address
before the last convention he struck
the keynote of the element opposed to
the Iowa idea" His stand was UNI
doubtedly popular with many members
Of the committee.
Since coming here Mr.. Hart has de-
clared in plain terms the Iowa idea has
nickered out. He says Iowa is I'M

Nebraska called on the president today

president has been questioned, but he

out strongly for Roosevelt. Shevlin of
Minnesota is not at the meeting and it

dent. Vice presidential talk is for an

Scientific TRAINING in America.

From the Electrical World and En-
gineer: In a very interesting lecture
delivered in London recently on Lord
Bacon, Mr.. Sidney Lee expressed doubt
whether a temple of science. such as
Bacon imagined in The New Atlantis"
would ever come into existence. At
present the .portents were, Mr.. Lee
feared, not favorable for it's emergence
In England. 1t seemed more likely to
come first to birth in Germany or In
America, where things of the mind re-
ceived from the general public a con-
sideration which was denied them in
England. The experience of a recent
visit to America had shown Mr.. Lee
that there was nothing in his own land
TO compare with the widespread eager
ness among the youth of the United
States TO enjoy academic scientific
training. 1t was difficult for them at
home, too, to realize even dimly the
munificent readiness with which Ameri-
can legislatures responded to demands
mad on their to supply the
American people with fit endowment
and equipment Of research.

Wife Fell In Love with Husband "AII
Over Again.

oNCE A&hiHs
The wife OF q well-known attorney
at law Of Seward, Neb., tells the tale
worth reading: MY husband was a
soldier in the Civil War, and was, as
he called himself, an old coffee cooler
and had always drank very strong
coffee.
about a year ago he complained Of
a feeling Of faintness every time after
climbing his Office stairs, and was also
troubled by terrible headaches that al
most drove him wild.
"He gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his affliction eliminated
in nervous collapse, and for weeks he
seemed to be fading away from us In
spite Of all u efforts.
THE physicians pronounced him
strong and well, with no organic trOu-
BILE whatever, and there seemed to be
nothing the matter except the CON-
plete giving out of his nervous system.
'The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in its place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum, and nov says
he feels better than he has felt for 20
years, headaches are gone, no more
fainting spells, and is gaining in flesh
every day, and he seems so much
younger and heartier and happier than
he has for years that l have fallen in
love with him over again.
"Now for my brothers case; a few
years ago he had a peculiar trouble.
His tongue was swollen and sore at the
roots and covered underneath with
testers.
He thought his afaiction was Of a
cancerous nature and his doctor was Of
the same opinion. He could scarcely
eat anything and became sc poor and
III down he was simply a nervous
wreck. He consulted various physi-
clans, but none were able to diagnose
his case or help him in the least.
"At last a doctor to whom he APP
piled said he believed my brother was
coffee poisoned and advised him to quit
coffee and drink Postum. He gave him
no medicine, but told him to give
Postum fair trial and return to him in
6 weeks. My brother had used Postum
only about ten days when the testers
disappeared from his tongue, and at
the end Of two weeks the sorenes and
swelling were gone and he began to
pick up In flesh and spirits.
"He has never touched coffee since,
sut drinks Postum all the time and
has never had the slightest return Of
the trouble.
ITO look at my experience is 1t any
wonder l can write a heartfelt testi.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
4 \ notable heroesof the Nineteenth Century.
Aname that starts terror in theheart of every
Spaniard. man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opin-
ion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation be gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a ~favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

Valley City, n. Oak, Dec. 1.-TWO
years ago Mrs. Matilda NJ. Boucher,
of this place, suffered a great deal with
n dizziness in her head. She was cured
Of this by a remedy called DOdd's Kid
ncy Pills, and has not been troubled
since.
Shortly afterward she had a bad
bilious attack and for this she used
Diamond Dinner Pills and was CON-
pletely cured in a short time.
In January, 1903, she had an attack
Of Sciatica, of which she says:
II was almost helpless with the Sci
atica, but remembering what Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills
had done for me before, l commenced
n treatment Of these medicines and in
three weeks l was completely restored
TO health. l have great faith in these
medicines, for they have been Of so
much benefit to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popu-
lar in Barnes County, having made n
great many splendid cures of Sciatica,
Rheumatism and Kidney Troubles.
Many families use no other medicine.

From Andre Saglio's THE Bigoud-

is hard TO know anything about the
surface life OF the Bigoudines, It is
still more difficult to penetrate their
thought; 10 know whether their brains
are agitated by anything but the sim
pie ideas OF the very primitive peo-
pies, the naive reveries OF children. or
whether they have preserved some
vague traditions Of the u~pheavals Of
humanity which have ended by cast
ing them upon this extreme point of
land. They speak a language which
has TO utilization with any ordinary
tongue. 1t is Breton, but a Breton full
of unknown words and strange idioms,
as yet unstudied by any philologist. AS
to the French language, they ignore it,
Intentionally ignore it.

New York, Dec. 14.-Following an
agreement made with the local Elec-
trot2pers and Stereotypers unions, the
United States Printing Company of
Ohio, a corporation doing business in
Brooklyn, that after January l it will
retain only union men in its employ,
Justice Marean in supreme court has
granted a temporary injunction re-
straining the company from discharg-
ing it's non-union men. An order is is
sued against the company and the cleo
trotypers and ~stereotypers, directing
them to show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent.
The complainants allege conspiracy
to make the shop q union concern. JUS
tice Marean's decision is sweeping, and
restraints the unions from organizing a
strike against the company, picketing,
~boycotting or in any other way inter-
'ering with it's business.

of the people. The natural timidlty which
so many people have felt about giving en-
d~orsements to any remedy IS giving way.
Gratitude and desire to help Others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its ow-
merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever
phase or location in the human body. That
is why it receives so many notable and
unique endorsements
