When old age comes on, catarrhal dis

most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna Is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use Of Peruna, write
at once TO DIR. Hartman, giving a full state

A Discussion Of Tariff Relations Be-

as They Affect Farmers.

tween the United States and Canada
as They Affect Farmers.
Minneapolis, Mimi. March 20.-A
question often discussed by the farm
ers of the Northwest is the difference
in price of wheat in the United States
and Canada. 1t has beer generally
supposed that a much higher price
was paid south of the boundary than
north. The tremendous expansion of
wheat raising in the Canadian West
and the emigration of thousands of
Middle-West farmers to that section
has given the question an interest
that it did not have before. Then.
too, the agitation of the subject OF
reciprocity with Canada has added to
the interest, because those who OPP
pose such reciprocity argue that it
would be injurious to the American
farmer on account of the cheap
wheat that would flow in from Canada.
A little investigation of the subject
led to the rather surprising discovery
that until the close of navigation on
the Great Lakes the price paid to the
farmer for wheat is as high in Can
ada as in the United States. IL not
higher. In fact. it is higher at Ger.
tain stations. 1t appears that at a
given distance from the lake termin-
ais a higher price is paid in Canada
than In the United States. This is be-
cause freight rates are lower In West
ern Canada than in the Western Unit.
ed States. But taking stations on the
| opposite sides Of the line having the
same freight rates to terminals, it ap-
pears that prior to Nov. Is, the Cana
dian price is slightly higher than the
American. This is probably due to
the eagerness of the buyers to get
as much wheat as possible out OF the
country before navigation closes. The

keeps 1t in running order. Even the
carpenter is now to be provided with
an electric tool, designed to replace
one which required no little exertion
on the part of the operator. Here
after, instead of pushing his plane
several times over the surface to be
smoothed, the carpenter will simply
slide it over the board once, using
only fraction of the strength former
ly necessary.
This new plane is fitted with an
electric motor, which may be run
with current taken from an mean
descent lamp socket. The plane pro-
per consists of series of blades ar
ranged on a rapidly revolving shaft,
after the manner of the knives on a
large power planer. Provision is made
for adjusting the height of the knives
to cut either thick or thin shaving,
thus doing away with the necessity
of running the tool over the board
more than once. The only disadvan-
tage seems to be that the plane Is not
practicable in all localities, owing to
a lack of electric current; but this OBJ
lection is rapidly disappearing, in the
cities, at least, and nearly every car
penter shop has already made some
use of the electric current, either for
lighting or power purposes.

Mass, is the inventor.

Artificial Gutta-percha Cables.

Scientists, as is generally known,
have long been seeking substitute
for rubber and gutta-percha. These
two products, which are a necessity
to the electrical industry, are becom-
ing each year more difficult to pro-
cure and consequently more expen-
sive. The substitutes so far brought
out have usually left much to be de-
sired after being subjected to a time
test, and 1t Is therefore interesting
to note, according to Engineering,
London, that the German telegraph
department has for nearly two years
had some cables of artificial gutta-
percha in use which, it Is claimed,
have so far given every satisfaction.
The material is the invention of
Adolf Gentzsch Of Vienna, and Is de-
scribed as a mixture Of rubber and a
palm wax Of the same melting point
as the rubber. Electrically the prod
uct Is considered equal to the natural
gutta-percha, and it softens only above
60 degrees Centigrade, the mixture
remaining homogeneous at these tenn
reratures. The cable in question Is
six miles in length and connects the
Island of Fohr with Schleswig. The
Gentzsch gutta-percha cables are 30
per cent cheaper than gutta-percha
cables.
