r IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our
IL country. leaving behind scores of
physical wrecks.
Victims Of catarrh of the head, catarrh
Of the throat, catarrh Of the lungs,
catalrh of the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds Of thou
sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and
sows the seed of chronic catarrh within
the system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
q remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.
A New York AIdermnn's Experience.
Hon. Joseph A. Finn, alderman Fifth
District, writes from 1O4 Christopher
street, New York City, as follows;
"When q pestilence overtakes oul
people we take %precautlon as a nation tc
preserve the citizens against the dread
disease.
"La grippe has entered thousands o.
our homes this fall, and 1 noticed tina

D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the
international Barber's Union, writes
from 10 Western avenue, Minneapolis,

"Oneof my customers who was greatly

I took five bottles, and then felt splen-

Aids 70 Rapid Reading.

At the meeting of the French
Academy of Sciences, held recent
ly, NJ. Andre BrOca and NJ. Sulzer
communicated a paper on the sub
iect of rapid reading. They
showed that the different letters
of The alphabet are not all appre-
hended with the same quickness.
For instance, the time taken to
recognize an E is nearly One.third
longer than that taken to recOg-
nize a T. They consider that the
alphabet is badly designed from a
physiological point of view. 1t
should be composed Of very sim.
ply designed letters as T or L.
Rapidly of reading would thus be
increased ana "brain flag" would
be notably diminished. 1t would
also be better to have the letters
printed in white on a black ground
than the system which obtains at
present. The time taken to recOg.
nize a letter printed in black on
a white ground was nearly ten
times longer than white on a black
ground.

My old friend the late Sir Ed

there caught sight of a member
En- J believe Mr.. Maskelyne-who
w was a singularly handsome man
ms with a classical Greek profile,
writes Prof. Dicey, in Nine
.enth Century. Upon inquiring
and What the name of the member
1ealt smight be-, he was told by a young
non, aWaiter that it was Mr., Herbert
-, Spencer. ThereupOn Sir Edgar
arranged with a common friend to
prep ascertain if Mr.. Spencer would
rich like to have his features repre-
scented il marble, and, if so, to ar.
range for a meeting. When the

81 tor caught sight of the real Her
God bert Spencer, his establishment
I ~ knew no bounds. If you could con
eeiye a hmnan form and face i'll

Y 1T was that of Mr.. Spencer. In the
most delicate way Sir Edgar tried
to intimate to The philosopher the
!" i~nsuperable difficulties of the task
bloc he had offered to perform. But
rale all his arguments were useless.
Mr.. Spencer took his stand upon
the ground that he had been re

W7i A number of his personal

narrOwness of his means, who adj
mired his extraordinary energy
under the most depressing cir
cumstances, and who were
anxious to relieve his embarrass-
ments, agreed to publish a com
piete edition of his works and to
pay him a salary for editing the
AM
volumes and seeing them through
the press which would, with his
simple tastes, keep him il

Village Fires.

The Claremont Herald. which by the
way shows marked Improvement under
its new management, thinks that the re-
cent fire at Waverly will be an object
lesson to the citizens of that wideawake
town and that they will profit by it
wthal. Our contemporary well says
that the mistake which the inhabitants Of
small towns make is that they spend lit
tie or no money in precautionary meas
ures. and in equipment to fight fire,
prefcrring TO carry small insurance at dis
astrous rates. 1t brings the question
home to the people of Claremont and
urges them 10 organize fire company
and raise fund for the purchase of some
sort of apparatus for fighting fires.
This is good advice and ought to be fol-
lowed by the people Of Claremont ana OF
AL towns similarly situated. Experience
shows that n Is cheaper to provide pro-
lection against fire than II Is 10 carry
heavy insurance and take chances Where
the risk is great the rate OF insurance
