ANTS WILL TAKE UP
 ABODE IN TEXAS
INJUNCTION AGAINST GOvERN-. MENTAL EXPERIMENT IS DISz soLVED-,NSECTS ARE PERI FECTLY HARMLESS TO MAN.

Washington, July'9-The injunction pro-' ceedings instituted in Texas to prosecuted the government experiments with thel Guatemala boil weevil-eating ants have been dissolved, and O. F. Cook the ex- pert who discovered the ants, will ge to Eictoria Tex. to install the colonies of ants, in such a way that they can be carefully studied. Conrad Doyle, the as sistant to MT. Cook. reported today to Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of bureau of plant industry that ths ants which arc now in New Orleans are in good condition and more numerous than when they start cd from Guaten ala.
 MT. Cook says it IS highly important to i learn the adaptability of the ants tn dif- 1 ferent climates and soils as found in Texas, so that in case of necessity they may be exterminated absolutely and easily if undesirable traits appear He says tho | ants are thoroughly predatory in their habits; that their movements are slow; ] that they may be handled with impunsty. and that they gre as harmless as toads.

An Ex-Senator, Hon. M. (. But Ter, Also is Convert to the
 GOOd of Pe-ru-na.
catarrh of Stomach From Coughs and Colds, and Other Ills Cured by Pe-ru-na When Other Med
 icines Failed.

Hon. M. c. Butler, of South Carolina, was United States Senator from that state for two terms. In recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,, from Wash ington, D. C.. he says;
 s4I can recommend Peruna for dyspep- sia and stomach. I have been using your medicine for a short period and 1 feel very much relieved. It is indeed won derful medicine besides a good tonic. - M. c. Butler.
 The only rational way to cure dyspep- sia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna has won it's way into thousands of homes and millions of hearts by It's marvellous cures of catarrhal affections. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to per- form digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods.
 Peruna has cured more cases of dys- pepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself on the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach Peruna cures 1t, as well in this location as any other.
 Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys- pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Pe- runa cures dyspepsia because it is gen erally dependent upon catarrh.
 A Most Wonderful Cure of Dyspepsia
 Made by Pe-ru-na.
 A. c. Lockhart, Corner Cottage Street and Thurston Road. Rochester. N. Y, writes:
 About fifteen years ago l com menced to be alinq with species of dyspepsia and called on a physician, who gave me only temporary relief.
 "I consulted another physician with no better results.
 "l am now taking the fifth bottle of Peruna and have not an ache or pain anywhere. My bowels move regularly every day and have taken on eight cen pounds of flesh, my usual weight being 145 pounds. was down at one time as low as one hundred and twen- ty-six pounds."-A. c. Lockhart.
 The only way to cure disease is to strike at and get to the source of the indisposition. A cold left to run on and on induces catarrh and catarrh produces consumption. What is catarrh but a consumption of the vital life forces of ones body? Many people die from con- sumption. when, If the case were more closely diagnosed it would be called ca tarrh.
 The specific cure for catarrh is Peruna.
