Beer Drinking In india.

The natives of India take more and
more to beer. Formerly the con-
sumption was. very small; there are
now, however, many large breweries,
and last year their combined produc-
tion aggregated nearly 100000 gal
Ions. 1t is said that about 40 per cent.
of this production is consumed by the
army. Most of the breweries are in
the Himalaya mountain districts, on
the railroad line between the stations
of Murree and Darjeling.

Woman Fought for Russla.

The Port Arthur newspaper, Novi-
krai, of November 18th, copies of
which were brought TO Che Foo by the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer, Rats
tOropny, contains a romantic story OF
Haritena Korotkiewitch, who, although
p woman served valorously in many
fights at Port Arthur, until death
closed her strange career.
The husband of Haritena Korotkie-
witch was serving at Port Arthur. In
endeavoring to join him she was
stopped at Hardin and was not allowed
TO proceed further owing to her sex.
She then donned masculine attire, and
succeeded in reaching Port Arthur
shortly before the landing of the Japa-
nese on the peninsula of Lao Tung,
Finding her husbands regiment she
enlisted in it. She participated in num-
erous sorties and in the defense of the
forts, and, although her sex was soon
discovered, her record for bravery, tire
iessness and attention to the wounded,
and the excellent moral influence she
exerted over the soldiers, who never
swore in her presence, won her permis-
eion to remain in the ranks.
While fighting side by side with her
husband the latter was wounded. His
wife nursed him until the crisis in his
case was passed, when she returned
to the front, where she became messen-
ger to Captain Gourzakofiky of the
Thirteenth regiment In the perform
ance of her duties as messenger she
was often seen riding fearlessly from
one position to another, seemingly un-
affected by the bursting of shells or
the din of battle.

Largest Peanut Fields,

The largest peanut fields in the
world are in Guiana, on the north
coast of Africa. Peanuts are grown
there by hundreds of tons. but the
quality is inferior to those grown in
this country. Most of the African pea

PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OE OREGON

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic
i to the Pacific. Letters of congrat-
ulation and commendation testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as q catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DR. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-an agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh 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 well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of it's victims.
Peruna not only cures cafarrh, but
prevents II. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it
continually in the house.

EoUAL1z1NG THE WATER RATES

Secretary Ware of the st. Louis Manufacturers
Association says, or intimates, in a communication
to Water Commissioner Adkins that The Republic
seems to be opposed to his ideas for reducing the
water rates. In the same communication he fur
nishes estimates which prepared by
former Water Commissioner Flad, In contrast to
statements prepared by Comptroller Player, and
quite undiplomaticaly says that Mr. Flad, having
served in the Water Department. must know more
than anybody else or everybody else about the de-
partment's affairs. Secretary Wares intimations
against the present officials about as accurate
as his judgment of The Republic.
Secretary Ware should understand that The Re-
public as The Republic often has declared is not
opposed to reduction equalization Of water
rates. The Republic differs with Secretary Ware
in this respect: that, while is in favor of equal
zation, it Is also interested In the enlargement Of
the Waterworks. the extension of the supply the
improvement of the quality of the water, the per-
petuation Of municipal ownership and operation
the adjustment of the departments finances. and
in general in the future of the department and the
service.
When the subject of revision Of the rates was
first suggested The Republic declared it to be of
great presen: and future concern and advised that
any action which might be taken should be taken
cautiously and wisely. The suggestion was made
