Poultry Pickings.

In feeding ground bone to young
fowls, be sure to have 1t fresh.
Young chickens may be fed almost
anything that is clean and wholesome.
The dust heap is absolutely neces-
sary for fowls.
Feather pulling is vice that comes
from confinement and idleness.
Allow no filth Of any kind to accu-

Thoroughness in detail In poultry
raising is the great secret Of success.
Common fowls do not possess the

to the Pacific. Letters Of congratula-
ton and commendation testifying to
the merits of Peruna as catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
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 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 Iostrum, 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.
Catairh is we'll nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of ca
tarrh. To prevent oolds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of it's victims.
Peruna not only cures catarrh, but
prevents it. Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs. colds and SO forth.
The ex-governor of Oregon is an ard
ent admirer of Peruna. He keeps il
continually in the house.

English authors are still grumbling about

complaints are occasionally heard from poets
on this side Of the water. In truth, all TINS

mean work Of genius) is as highly regarded as

Beer City Bowiers to Select Care
didate for A. B.C. Presidency.

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 27.-The question of
of the city for the presidency of the
American Bowling congress is to be def
initely settled at meeting of the Mil
waukee Bowling association to be held at
the Plankinton house Sunday afternoon.
Charles Moll, first vice president of the
congress, and onesof the most enthusiastic
and active workers for the interests of
the sport in the country, is candidate
for the honor, and the bowlers of the city
feel that his work in the interest of bowl
ing here and throughout the state entities
him to consideration, but the same men
also believe that, as Milwaukee is almost
certain to get the 1905 congress, following
the usual custom. Mayor Rose should be
given the position In order to get the
sentiment of the majority of the bowlers
President Koerner has called this special
meeting of the association, and before its
close the delegates to Cleveland will be
instructed as to how they shall vote.
= There is every indication that Milwaukee
Will get the congress, ana If 1t comes here
the bowlers will strive to make it one of
the most successful ever held. 1t has been
the custom to elect the mayor of the city
that is awarded the congress to the chief
Office Of the organization. and, while May
or Rose cannot be considered candidate,
he has said that he willlaccept the officS
if the bowlersl of the city want him. The
reason for honoring the mayor is that it
gives the chief executive of the congress
city a personal interest in the success of
the meet, and it is believed by many that
Mayor Rose whether he is reelected this
spring or not, would be an important fac
tor in the success of the 1905 congress.
