II Is OF vast Importance to tho future
manhood of this country that scorn Of
unfairness should be universal. Above
all, let it be applied strenuously to I'M
fairness in business. We are COM
mercial people. Our boys must go into
commerce. Our professions are SO min
gled with commerce that 1t is often
hard to distinguish If they be profess

lousness in commerce then we are
doomed to become a race of tricksters
and manhood is dead within us.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Peruna as catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the union. DIR. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar
tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abso-
Lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and 80
forth.

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
A SOLID SORE.
New Castle, Pa, July go, 100:

New Castle, Pa, July 80, 1909.
Three years ago common boil ap-
peared on the calf OF my limb. Notyield-
ing to simple homo remedies, consulted
q physician, who prescribed poultice,
fax seed, supposedly. BY some fearful
mistake was given corrosive subh-
mate, and after having it on for low
minutes I could endure the pain no
longer. so took off the application and
found that my limb from the calfto tue
ankle was in an awful condition. I'M
mediately sent for another physicinp,
who told me I had been poisoned. my
limb from the calf to the ankle was ono
solid infamed sore. I was advised to
berin s. 8. g., and improved rapidly
under it's use, but about this time had
an attack oftyphoid fever, ana this oct
tied in the original sore. This, OF course,
caused a back set, but having confidence
in the ability Of 8. q. s., began III again
as soon as was over the fever, and TO
make a long story short, was completely
and permanently cured. Two years have

WHERE SHIPS SAILS SING
Spot on Brazil Coast Where the Yards
Reflected the Sweet, Music
of Bells.

Some curious facts have been noted
with regard to the souiid-conducting
qualities OF ships sails. When rendered
c.hcave by a gentle bresze. the wide
spread sails of a ship are said to be ex-
cellent conductors of sound.
A ship was once sailing along the coast
Of Brazil, far out of sight of land. Sud-
denly several of the crew, while walking
along the deck, noticed that when pass
ing n repassing a particular spot they
always heard with great distinctness
ne sound of bells Ginning sweet music,
as though being rung but a short dis
lance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon
they quickly Communicated the discov-
cry to their shipmates, but none az them
were able to solve the enigma as 10 the
origin of these seemingly mysterious
sounds which came to them across the
water.
Months afterwards, upon returning ia
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men
Etioned the circumstance to their friends.
and were informed that at the time
when the sounds were heard the bells ID

Regarding baseball, Mr.. Ferris
said:
at is my earnest hone that IN
thing will be done towards prevent
ing the threatened Sunday baseball
games just outside n city limits.
Baseball is a noble game, but on Sun
days it will draw from our churches

feature will be the breaking down of

to let down the bars for these things
TO come in. l hope also that the dance
halls, so numerous in our city, may

spoke of tile debt Of the church being

GLOVE IS EASILY FOUND.
Mateless Article Appeals to People
and Is Quickly Picked Up
from the Street.

AS q lost article of intrinsic worth,
1t is considered that a lone glove of a
pair is more likely to be recovered by
the loser in Chicago than is any other
piece of apparel, says the Tribune.
1t IS a rare circumstance when anyone
picks up a handkerchief in the street.
1t may be of the best linen and show that
it is comparatively clean, but the
chances are ten to one that it will be
kicked aside and trampled on. A muf-
fer might be picked up and put in the
finders pocket. A pair of. car muffs,
provided there is a pair in use in Chi
cago, might tempt some one to gather
1t in for its practical utility.
But a mateless glove has the advan-
tage over all of these for the loser, for
the reasons that it has no utility value;
there is nothing about 1t to prevent the
finder picking it up without q sense of
contamination; the fact that the glove
Is worthless to the finder impresses
upon the finder the shame that 1t will
be for the loser to have it go to waste
along with its serviceable mate; and
from all of these recognized conditions
arises a spirit in the finder to restore 1t
If possible to the person who has lost
the bit of leather.
Fol these reasons 1t has become Gus
tomary In Chicago for a glove that has
been picked up on the street to be placed
securely upon some fixture neal the
place where 1t is found. A metal newell
post to a basement stair leading out to
the street is a common place of deposit
for one of these gloves. Asplked railing,
designed to prevent Longing, is admir-
able for the purpose. Even a window
ledge may be resorted to with some de-
gree of confidence on the part of the
finder that the loser will finally pick it
up again.
At the least, in this great, hurrying
city there are few people too busy to
pick up a lost glove and place 1t near
the spot, convenient to the eye of the
loser. And if the loser of the article
recognizes his loss soon enough and can
retrace his steps carefully, he is more
likely to find his lost glove, uninjured,
than any other one thing that he might
have lost from his person.

Improved Peat-Making.

Peat has heretofore been made into
coal or coke for fuel by a slow and te-
dious process based upon a~ir-drying.
But the steadily increasing demand for
fuel led, a few years ago, to the In
vention OF retort ovens for drying peat.
which ordinarily contains 80 per cent.
of water. The ovens are heated by
the burning of the gases given off by
the peat itself. Within a short time
a new step has been taken in England
through the invention of a combined
mechanical and electrical process Of
drying and carbonizing. The fresh peat
is placed in rotating cylinders, where
the centrifugal force, aided by an in
terror beating device. expels nearly all
the water. Electrodes connected with
a. dynamo are then inserted in the
cylinders, and the current c~arbonizes
the material. which Is afterwarc
pressed into b~riauettes.

REVERSED A c COURT
A Western Justice Who Had No Very
Exalted Opinion Of Su-
preme Jurists.

Representative Bede, of Minnesota, is
among the best story ~tellers, and his
friends regret that he is not oftener in
evidence in the cloak rooms. One of his
latest Is this:
Many years ago there lived in Min
nesota an eccentric justice of the peace,
but who a thoroughly honest and who
tried to do justice in adjudicating diff
~ferences between his neighbors. The old
gentleman had a decided hatred for the
turks and bubbles of law, and not in
frequently he rendered his decisions
without regard to the legal points laid
down by eminent jurists.
I'm a certain cas- before him It was
shown that Justice was on the side of
the plaintiff, but he had slept on his
rights until he had legally lost them.
The attorney for the defense called the
Justices attention to this fact and cited
a decision of the supreme court to sus-
tain him.
"If the supreme court made such a de-
cision it acted wrong said the justice.
"The attorney brought forth volume
after volume and read the authorities.
"'You cen stop where you are,' said
the old justice, as he pulled off and
rubbed his spectacles, for l am satisfied
that such a. decision WIS made by the SUI
preme court, but ! want to say that IL
that court sees fit to make a fool of
itself 1t lie no reason why l should. 1t is
my opinion that the supreme court is a
n1isance--yes, a miserable nuisance
aud overrule its decision on this point
and give Judgment for the plaintiff.
Justice is justice. sir, in this court, and
to the devil with the higher tri-
bunal.'"
