Growth of secret Societies.

OrOWtn Oh SeCIcV SOClcI1cSs
Every fifth man with whom you shake
hands in the United States and in Brit
ish Columbia is a member of a secret
organization, counting out his possible
college fraternity.
Ten years ago a liberal estimate was
one man to every eight in secret orders.
AT the present rcte of growth in the
United States and in British possessions
to the north the present ratio of one to
FIVE may be three to five in 1914. For
in the United States, where the popula-
ton increases one-tenth in a decade, the
figures of the secret societies in ten years
have been almost doubled.
In the year 1904 the figures of the
secret orders, reported by the central or.
CARNATIONS, show a membership of
7,414,173. =
In 1894 these figures, repoi. led in the
same manner, showed a membership OF
only 4,126,S75.
Thus while the population ofsthe Unit
ed States and Canada was increasing q
possible 10000, 900, the memberships in
the secret societies were increasing near
" 100000 virtual doubling of these
memberships

JURY FAILS TO AGREE.
Nan Patterson Murder Case Results 4,
Mistria1.

Nan Patterson Murder Case Results I'm
After celebrating for twenty hours the
jury in the Nan Patterson murder case
in New York reported that it could not
agree and was discharged. The woman
had confidently expected an acquittal.
The crime with which Nan Patterson,
the former show girl, was charged, was
one of the most sensational in New York
criminal annals. Its peculiar circum-
stances, the prominence of Caesar Young
in sporting circles, and the glamor
thrown around the central figure in the
case because of her membership in one
of the numerous "Florodora" sextets, all
tended to LEND it an interest hardly riv-
aled in recent years. Interest in 'the
murder in the hanson cab," spread
through all circles and the proceedings
of the trial have been read from coast
to coast and have held a place on the
first page of the metropolitan press.
With Miss Patterson sitting beside
him in Il cab June 4, Young was on his
way to a steamship pier. where his wife
awaited him, to sail with her for Eu-
rope. The "trip avowedly was planned

Our Country's Growth.

No nation on earth can show so
rapid a growth in population as the
United States. The recent bulletin Of
the Census Bureau contains the esti-
mates Of population for 1901, 1902 and
1908 for all the cities having 10000
or more inhabitants in 1900 and for
States and Territories. According to
the figures presented, the total estimat-
ed population Of the United States,
exclusive of Alaska and the insular
possessions Of the United States, is TO-
000,39S. This is an increase OF $685.
S14 since the census of 1900. The pop
ulation is estimated for 438 cities hay-
ing 10000 or more inhabitants In 1900.
According to these estimates, New
York is now a city Of 3,716,139 inhab-
itants; Chicago is rapidly approaching
the two million mark, having 1873, $3.50
inhabitants; Philadelphia has 1867, ZIG
st. Louis has just passed and Boston
has almost reached the 100000 mark
Baltimore has 531,313; Cleveland Is
now a considerable distance ahead OF
Cincinnati, which cities have 414,95(
and S32, 234. Buffalo has also consid
erably increased its population, being
credited with 3S1 ,403 inhabitants. SaI
Francisco and Pittsburg are also clos'
competitors, the former having 1851!
and the latter 345,043. Detroit, Mil

passed 100000 and Washington is clos

The japanese have no bread, no

In the kitchen they have no range.
no pots. no pans, no four-bins. no
kitchen tables. But then they have
no tables or chairs in the drawing

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman--How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to amaze
mic nerve eentezs. The nerve centers
are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These cenfers become bloodless for the
want Of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially notice
able during the warm season. Every
summer an army Of invalids are pro-
duced es direct result Of weak nerv-
ous systems.
This could be easily overcome by the
use Of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root Of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve cent
ers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs OF life a vitality which Gre
stes strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent
young society woman OF Memphis,
Tenn in a recent letter from ia Ala
bsma street, writes; $40 a socieey
woman whose nervous force is often
taxed to the utmost from lack Of rest
and irregular meals, know Of nothing
which Is of so much benefit as Peruna-
/ took il few months ago when l
felt my strength giving way. and
1t soon made itself manifest in giving
me new strength and health. Miss
Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic Of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
It can be used any length Of time with
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not produce temporary results.
1t is permanent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
/ are a multitude Of homes where Peru
ma has been used of and on for tvent,
: years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs o
narcotic nature.
e At this season of the year we are Pc
: culiarly liable to infzmmations Of tn
. stomach and bowels. II is the part O
wisdom to learn how to cut them shor
l. and in the easiest and quickest manner
: Peruna does this by its peculis
