In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after FIVE yeas expe-
rience with Peruna:
al viii ever continue to speak a rood
word for Peruna. I'm my rounds as q
travelling M l am q walking adper-
H5emeHf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year 10
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. I am still cured of cafarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box 2z2, Independence, Nc.
When old age comes ON, catarrhal dis.
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is ell
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic rem.
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and sat.

~ Eiuidnnd Mania

Washington Post: The mania for div

had a basis OF real value. The payment
Oh dividends from capital instead of earn
ings was what ruined the Lesseps canal
enterprise on the Isthmus of Panama. 1t
caught the dupes of Mrs. Howe and her
woman's bank Of Boston. 1t gave the firm
organized By FERDINAND Ward its oppor-
tunity fer a career Of successful fraud. II
is a GeDlorablc resourc at best. Now
and then it has weathered temporary trou-

has had enough vitality to survive, Just
as kting checks and rehpothecating secu-

here and there through a crisis. But It
is a poison In the financial blood and most
Of the people who resort to it succumb to
Its noXious power sooner or later.

Better the poets Alpine SHOWS,
Than deadly deserts OF repose;
Better the martyrs fiery hour
Then Buddha on the lotus flower.
1t is the level road h kills;
The secrets OF the ~heavenward hills
Are ethics OF an endless quest,
And the novitlate is unrest.
The opiate vapors OF the plain
The clogging marshes-leaVe their stain:
Oh, that we might take wings and fee
Where sky-born winds blow BEAUTIFULLY.
Oh, for the glorious lack of guile
Inat leaves the crowd to fawn and smile,
The level road with all its ills
For the fine freedom of the hills.

A PRAYER.

1t Is my joy in life TO find
AT every turning of the road,
The strong arm OF q Comrade kind
To help me onward with my load:
And since l have no gold to give,
AND love alone must make amends.
My only prayer is, while l live
GOD make me worthy of my friends!
