EXERCISES AT DELAND.
Presentation Day of the University
Was Observed.

DeLand, Fla, Feb. 21.-The Presen-
tation day exercises at the university
here were attended by a very large
crowd, probably the largest in the his
tory of the institution. The faculty
concert on Thursday evening, by the d.
rector and instructors of the music de-
partment was a success, and every
number was encored.
The buildings were inspected by large
numbers of visitors yesterday morning.
The numerous favorable comments
upon the beauty of the new Science
Hall were we'll deserved. At 10:30
o'clock the exercises proper took place
in the Auditorium. The room was
packed full of visitors and friends, and
all listened with interest to the schol-
arly address of DR.. Mullens of the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,
who spoke upon The Ideals of Greek
and Christian Education"

member of the board, who in a we'll

The audience gave him a tremendous
ovation at the close of his address and
several times during his talk he was
compelled to stand and wait for the
applause to subside SO he could con-
tinue.
DR.. Forbes then read his annual re-
port, showing a highly satisfactory
condition of the finances, and he was
able to state that all of the needs of
the university would be met.
During the exercises several appro-
pirate musical numbers were rendered
by the faculty and students.
Last evening the presidents annual
reception was held at the Ladies Dor
mitory, Chaudoin Hail. and though the
rain was pouring hard all of the even

~ATARRH of the head, nose and
Y throat are very frequent. These
victims crowd the offices of catarrh
specialists in vain. Mr.. Chas. c. Roe
once belonged to this unhappy class.
A course of Peruna entirely cured him.
There are two things that the
whole medical profession agree
about concerning catarrh. The first
is that catnrrh is the most prevalent
and Omnipresent disease to which
the people in the United States are
subject. All classes of people have
1T. Those who stay indoors much
and those who go outdoors much
Working classes have it and seden-
tary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his
constant and ever-present foe. 1t COM
plcates nearly every disease he is
called upon to treat
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree is that it is diff
f1cult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to
little or nothing except to give tempor-
ary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in in
ternal organs which cannot be reached
by any sort of local treatment All
this is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal
remedy which would reach catarrh at

DEBATED FOWLER BILL.
Author of the Measure Spoke For
More Than Two Hours.

More Than Two Hours.
Washington Feb. 81 The day in the
House was devoted to debate upon the
Fowler currency bill. Mr.. Fowler, the
author of the measure, spoke for over
two hours. The other speakers were
Messrs. Thayer of Massachusetts, Low
ering of Massachusetts, Lewis of Geor-
gia, and Prince of Illinois.
Mr.. Lewis opposed the bill. The gen.
eral conviction that the bill has no
chance to become a law, and the fact
that there are divergent views on both
sides of the House detracted from the
interest in the debate
While Mr.. Thayer was explaining the
features and advantages of the minor
ity bill, Mr.. Cochran of Missouri OBJ
jected to the appellation minority
bill"
There is no minority BILL" said he
The bill you are supporting will not
command ten votes on this (the Demo-
cratic) side"
Mr.. Thayer replied that the bill he
was advocating was the one introduced
by Mr.. Padgett of Tennessee.

transmitting a request of the Anthra-
cite Coal Strike Commission, asking for

ident said he concurred in the request

LEWIS OPPOSED
THE FOWLER BILL.
Arguments the Georgian Advanced
Against the Measure.

bg IL VI. 41dilItl
Washington, Feb. 21.-"Say some
thing in favor of national banks and
the people rum" remarked Representa-
tive Lewis of Georgia to-day, in dis
cussing the Fowler financial bill, now
pending in the House. Although there
appears to be but slight prospect Of
either the Fowler bill or the Aldrich
bill becoming "A law during the pres
ent session, the debate on the former
measure goes vigorously on in the
House. under a special rule, while Sen
atOT Aldrich is patiently waiting to
get his bill considered in the Senate.
Mr.. Lewis, who is one of the leading
members of the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency, delivered a half
hour speech to-day in opposition to the
Fowler bill which is under considera-
ton in the House. Mr.. Lewis stated at
length the reason which impelled the
minority members of the committee to
oppose this bill. He was, he said in
favor of "A properly safe guarded, prop
erly issued and properly taxed asset
currency. but there was much in the
Fowler bill he was compelled to op-
pose.
MIR. Fowler had explained that the
on this asset currency. Mr.. Lewis was
opposed to extending to the banks such
privileges until they had done their
duty by taking out the bonded cur
rency provided for by existing law. He
showed that many of the largest bank
ing institutions do not take out any
where near the amount of currency
they should. While the business of the
country often suffers for lack of an
nd Of
banks fail to take out the amount OF
circulation allowed by law, yet they
now come and ask to be allowed to
take out currency based on assets, be-
cause they can make a profit on this
kind Of currency.
He thought the first step which
should be taken by Congress is to re-
quire that banks must take out at
least 30 per cent. of the bonded cur
renCy they are authorized to issue.
Certainly they should be required to
do this before being given the privilege
of issuing currency based on outside
assets. AS it is, the smaller banks
bear the greater proportion of the bur-
den of supplying the currency for the
country, which, under our present sys-
TEN. all banks should bear alike.
This asset currency bill, he contend
ed, extended to the banks special privi-
leges, to which. in his judgment, they
should not be entitled, certainly until
they had done their full duty by pur-
chasing bonds and taking our circula-
ton upon them. The banks should be
made to know that it is their duty
under the present system to furnish
currency for the benefit of the people,
rather than for the banks.
Mr. Lewis argued that there should
be provision for the taxation of this
aG ON. q
in that way benefit in some degree,
and the currency would be more truly
elastic. He was given a close hear
ing, and his arguments were heartily
indorsed by his colleagues on the Dem
ocratic side.

Hon. H. w. Ogden, Congressman
from Louisiana, in letter written at

of Peruna, the national catarrh rene

II can conscientiously recommend
your Peruna as a fine tonic and all
round good medicine to those who are
in need of a catarrh remedy. 1t has
been commended to me by people who
have used it, as a remedy particularly
effective in the cure of Catarrh. For
those who need a good catarrh medicine
know of nothing better."-H. W.
Ogden.

Many Have Catarrh and Don't Know
Catarrh is almost a national curse.
Nearly everybody has had it more or
less. A majority of people who have
catarrh in it's incipient stage don't
know it. Catarrh will produce so
many different conditions that it is no
wonder that it is not often recognized.
Catarrh will produce deafness; will
effect the eyesight,
Catarrh win enlarge the tonsils and
will make the throat sore.
Catarrh will cause consumption, dys-
pepsia, kidney disease and so many
other maladies that it is no wonder
that doctors fail to recognize it.

PITY WASHINGTON
DID NOT SMOKE.
What Weir Mitchell Said of the
Father of His Country.


Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Washington's
Birthday was celebrated to-day by the
University of Pennsylvania at the
Academy of Music. Gov. Pennypacker
presided and DR. S. Weir Mitchell was
the orator of the day. His topic was
George Washington in His Letters"
DR.. Mitchell described many of
Washington's personal traits as shown
by his letters. of which 10000 are ex-
tant OF these. DR.. Mitchell said:
There are but two letters to his
wife. She destroyed the rest-a wise
lady, l think, or perhaps it was he
who wisely counselled her. Those let
ters must have told her many things
it were well to let die. Nevertheless,
we get very near to the heart of the
man in his letters"
DR.. Mitchell told of the time when
Washington could not pay his debts
AT one time he could not pay his
doctor-a most dear friend-but he
sends him a fine horse and fifteen
pounds to aid in the education of
namesake, which strikes me as very
pleasantly Virginian. l have one of
DR.. Craik's bills; it is long and was
paid, l am glad to see. There are three
shillings for bleeding his excellency."
Dr. Mitchell regretted that Washing
ton did not smoke, as he thought a
pipe would have greatly comforted
him at Valley Forge.

THINK IT OVER,
Something You Can See in Any Res
tauraut or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large reStau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from 60
to so years: many of them bald and all
perhaps gray, but none of them feeble
or Senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munChing bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card of new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer a juicy roast of beef, a prop
erly turned loin of mutton, and even
the deadly broiled lobster is not alto
gether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food, and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
hive upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat. coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisons, but these cadaverous, sickly
looking individuals are a walking con-
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
Juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food will be promptly digested;
if the stomach does not do so, and GER
tain foods cause distress one or two
of Sturat's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal will remove all difficulty, be-
cause they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro
chloric acid, diastase and nux
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels. and in fact are not
strictly a medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten. digesting
il thoroughly and thus gives much
needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use at
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are a safeguard
against indigestion in any form. and
eating as they have TO, at all hours and
all kinds of food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents for
fun sized packages. and any druggist
from Maine TO California. II his opinion
were asked. will say that Stuart's Dgs-
pepsia Tablets Is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.
