STOP THAT COUGH!


| Miss Lila, OF Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took o course Of Peruna before 1t was
too late. She had caught several colds,
then 9 cough developed. She took all
sorts Of cough medicines, until as she
puts 1t, IT sickened at the sight Of them.n
In four weeks Peruna had cured her OF
her catsrrh and her system was entirely
rid Of it. a
This is what Peruna lie doing all tho
while. Not day, and probably not al

U. s.. Senator John NJ. Thurston, from

from Washington, D. O., under date Of
April 8, 1901:
"I have used Peruna ct various times
during the past year or two with m6st s
satisfactory results.
"It entirely relievedsme from an Rri-

SPIRIT OF REcKLEssNEss.

Many, probably most of the acct
dents on American railways Of all
kinds are due to recklessness. The
same is true of accidents from other
vehicles. Manifestations of this dis
position are to be seen on every side.
COachmen exhibit it by driving heavy
carriages at full speed around the
most busy and crowded corners of
large cities. Messenger boys show
it by propelling their bicycles like
mad whenever they get where there
seems a good chance to run anybody
down The automobile chauffeur acts
as if it was no part of his business
TO look out for people ahead Of him,
and apparently thinks that the man
or woman whom he runs down re-
ceives only his or her deserts for get
ting in, the way. Everybody who OpeT-
ates any sort Of a vehicle, from the
locomotive engineer to the labOrer
or clerk hUrrying to his work on a
motorcycle. seems to have become
possessed with the idea that it is his
business to 90 as fast as he can, but
no part OF his business TO take care
that he doesn't kill anybody. This
combination Of speed madness with
recklessness is causing more casu-
alties in the United States than all
other causes Ogether.-Kansas City
Journal.

EDWARDS FOOT DOWN.

The English legation in the Servian
capital has been broken up. The house
has been vacated and the stat
dispersed to other capitals and the
British Minister, Sir George BOnham
will go elsewhere. King Edward VII
informed the Seryian government that
Great Britain did not consider the pro
motion of the officers personally con
cerned in the assassination Of King
Alexander and Queen Draga from
their posts at court to higher Offices
in the army and in the state, as a sat
isfactiOn for the outrage perpetrated
last summer. After a long suspen.
sion diplomatic relations are now per
manently closed. This is an example
which other powers Of Europe may
have to follow The awful murder
and the protection of the murderers
by the man who was the beneficiary
of the assassination is too much for
civilization. King Edward will be re
spected in all sections where decent
people thrive. for delivering this re-
buke. There have been kings of En-
gland who have been bloody and re
vengeful, but they were long before
the days of Edward VII, and very lit
tie of their blood runs in his veins. Ed
ward is a modern king The longer
other rulers postpone action as 10
Servia the harder will it be for them
to wipe out the disgrace which is al
ready sticking to them.-Chicag Rec

NEED OF THE FARMER.

The farmer must learn to place a
cash value upon his own time and
labor and know where they are ex-
pended and what results they pro-
duce. He must learn to think Of the
dairy COW as a machine for manufac-
turing clover, etc, into milk-a ma
chine that win do its best work when
kindly treated, sheltered from storms
and fed a balanced ration. The small
plots Of idle ground should be made
to produce something that will sell in
the market or supply the family table
The waste products of orchard, gar
den or grain field should be turned
into pork. mutton or poultry, while
everything that can serve no better
purpose should. If possible, add fer
tility to the soil. Rotation Of crops
should make summer following IN
necessary and SO worth of apples
should not be lost for the want of 81
worth Of spray.-Portland OregOnian.

PROGRESS OF HUMANITY.

The ethical millennium is certainly
far away. The progress OF humanity
is rhythmical. not steadily cOntinu-
Gus, and it may be that we are in the
trough Of the sea. 1t may be that
thought has been turned to material
things, or maybe only to new con.
cepts Of religion, to the dismay Of
those who tend neglected affairs. But
certainly humanity has not lost its
inspiration. No wrong appears but
that there are hands ready to right
it, no suffering but that there is zeal
for self-sacrifice in its relief, no prob
lem Of humanity but that unselfish
souls are at work for its solution. If
there is a recession, then, We may be
sure that the flood will come again.
And, whether there is or not, no bet
ter standard OF ethics will be COM
mended to favor by telling society
that It is more material than ever be
fore, when, after realizing all its
faults, it perfectly well knows that it
is not.-New York Tribune.

THE Y. N. c. A.

There is no longer any disposition
to scof at the Young Mems Christian
Association and among intelligent
citizens everywhere its potency as an
instrument Of personal and civic mo
rality is gratefully recognized. Dr..
Mabie has not exaggerated its claims
to respect in saying:
Whatever may have been the de-
fects, either In quality or in manage
ment Of the association in the past,
it has become a model Of high and
effective organization. It is an ex-
preston Of the religious life which
FITS the temper and the need Of the
day and it is therefore fundamentally
the right expression Of that life. It
is a religion OF action, contrasted
sometimes too sharply with the re-
HgiOn Of meditation, but pre-eminent-
y, in spite Of its occasional over
emphasis on action. the religion
which the modern world needs and
which can do the most for the re-
demptiOn Of the modern world. It
stands for the broad conception of
life into which the young man OF to-
day is born. It demands the health of
the body as well as the health of
the spirit, sanity in out-of-dOOr life
as well as integrity in social and bust
ness life
The word sanity is well applied
to the activities Of the association.
It makes no appeal to mawkish senti-
ment, and takes no part in the Guilt
walton Of a merely emotional religion
Its business is to foster clean and
wholesome living. to encourage a de
sire for moral and mental growth
among its members and to put with
in their reach such means Of rational
enjoyment as most of them would
otherwise lack. 1t is an admirable IN
stitutiOn, managed on sound prin-
ciples and productive Of great results

WHY H0T WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Dr.. Harsnan. How
70 Combat the Nervous depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness Is very common among
women This condition is due to
anRmic nerve centerS. The nerve cen
tiers are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centerS become blOOdless for the
want. of proper nutrition
This condition Is especially noticeable
during the warm season Every sum
mer an army OF inTalids are produced as
a direct result OF weak nervous systems
This could easily be overcome by the
use OF Peruna Peruna strikes at the
root Of the trouble by correcting the
Digestion Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve cen
tiers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs Of life a vitality which ere
ates strong. steady nerves. and in this
manner fOrtifies and nOurishes life

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has fOunO
permanent use in so many homes Is that
1t contains no narcotic of any kind Pc
runa Is perfectly harmless 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing a drug habit PeTuna does not pro-
duce temporary results 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs OF
a narcotic nature
At this season OF the year we are
peculiarly liable to inf1amatiOns OF the
stomach and bowels 1t Is the part OF
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the eaSist and quickest manner
PeI-una does this by its peculiar power
over all forms OF catarrhal troubles.
