SALVATION "KUNGHIw
ON CHINESE NEW YEAR.
DevOtiOns to omitO Fuh, Yuh-Hwang
Shangti, and Tau in Savannah,

DevOtiOns to OmitO Fuh, Yuh-HwanE
ShanEti, and Tau in Savannah.
This is the day when the devout
Oriental who has not become imprag-
mated with the scepticism of the Occi-
dent, prostrates himself before the an
cestral shrine or does obeisance before
the sanctuaries Of Omito Fuh, Yuh-
hwang Shangti, and Tau.
All debts are settled and all accounts
with heaven are balanced and the salu-
tation, "Kunghin Kunghin will be
heard everywhere. For it is New Year
in China, and the faithful of the Celes-
tial Kingdom in Savannah will let their
minds wander back to the Orient and
will bless each other and praise the
deeds and lives of their ancestors.
In the different laundry shops, little
tables will be prepared on which will
be placed small slips of red and gilt
paper. And the visitor or customer
should sit at the table and write some
appropriate words upon it, even though
IL be only the word "fuh." the word
which means happiness, and which car
ries with it good wish.
On the doorDosts and lintels of the
dwellings and shops of the devout will
be pasted the little slips containing
the prayers, that the five great bless
ings of the world may descend upon
the proprietor. The five blessings are
longevity, riches. health. love OF vir-
tue. and a natural death. II is the
birthday of the entire nation and meet
that good wishes should start each man
on the new year
over all the doors of the faithful,
whether followers of Omito F'uh, Yuh-
hwang Shangti. or Tau, will be pasted
the prayers that the soul may be made
clean. and that it may come at last
to dwell with the spirits OF the de-
parted ancestors whose deeds brought
them eternal happiness All OF the
prayers are written upon rel PAGER.

MERCHANTS FAVOR

gested Making an Attempt to
Bring state Fair Here-Meeting of
Directors Not Yet Called.
Although the matter has not yet
been taken up by the directors of the
Savannah Racing Associat ion, it seems
likely that Savannah will have a fair
during the present year. Nearly all
of the merchants say that they were
benefited by the last fair and favor
the holding of another.
number of the merchants were
seen yesterday and expressed them
selves as being in favor of holding an
other fair. With changes in the date
and lettering of one or two minor de-
tails they thought it could be even
more of a success than last year
With but few exceptions the mer-
chants said they had been directly
benefited by the fair, as it attracted
many to the city who would not have
come for any other reason.
"Bulloch County Day was the most
conspicuous example of this said one
merchant. ITO each of the tickets
sold at the reduced rate a coupon was
attached which admitted the holder to
the fair grounds. If these coupons
were not presented at the gate they
were taken up by the conductors and
by them turned over to the Racing
Association.
"On Bulloch County Day there were
about 5000 coupons taken from rail-
road tickets. yet scarcely one-third of
them We're secured at the fair gates.
These figures show that the majority
of the visitors stayed in Savannah and
visited the stores, making purchases
which they were unable to do at their
home towns. What held good for Bull
loch County Day was noticeable on
other days. though, the number of
visitors was never so large as on that
special day."
Mr. Sig Gardner. secretary of the
Retail Merchants Association, said,
while he had not asked any of the
merchants about the matter, he had
heard nothing which would lead him
to believe that they are not ready to
support another fair, and do what they
can 10 make it a success even greater
than last years. Immediately after
the fair closed they were all in favor
of another one. and l believe they
still hold that opinion" said Mr.. Gard
ner. Personally l want to see an
other fair and believe that such pro-
jects are good things for the city in
every way"
Il am in favor of holding a fair
here. and will do what 1 can to help
the management along" said promi-
nent Broughton street merchant. THE
fair last year benefited me in many
ways and my cash sales were greatly
increased. This was due to the small
army of people, who came to the city,
attracted by the cheap rates on the
railroads, and desire. for a gala day
and plenty of amusement. By all

The HenIthfuI Up-HiII walk.
From the Medical Brief.

The best way to get oxygen into the
blood is to walk a mile uphill two or
three times a day, keeping the mouth
closed and expanding the nostrils. This
beats all other methods. During such
walk every drop of blood in the body
will make the circuit of the lungs, and
stream, red and pure, back to it's APP
pointed work of cleansing and repair
ing worn-out tissues.
Health boards, we are glad to see,
are beginning to take up conmon-se
methods of caring for the health and
preventing sickness. Recreation piers
are coming into use al seaports and
people are being advised to use bal
comics and fire-escapes i'm the fresh-air
treatment of consumption. The uphill
walk, as a prophylactic and curative
measure in many chronic ailments de-
pendent upon a weak condition of the
heart, lungs and blood vessels, would
prove invaluable.

Deputy Coroner of WinnebagO
County, Wisconsin.

e. T. Phillips. Deputy Coroner, Win
nebago Co., from Menasha, Wis,
writes:
II have been troubled with a very
serious case of catarrh of the head
and throat for number of years,
and L tried many prescriptions from
good physicians but in the end /
found myself no better. On the adj
vice of a friend who had used Peruna
with good results purchased bot
lie, and the effects from that one bot
tie were so encouraging that 1 con-
tlmned its use and think used
about six bottles in all which / am
glad to say cured me completely of
this troublesome disease.
II can, therefore, conscientiOusIy
recommend it and am a firm believer
IN the power OF Peruna to effectualIy
cure catarrh in all its forms.''-E. T.
Phillips.
~ GREAT many remedies to
a temporarily relieve catarrh
have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams
and other local applications, but as
rule. the medical profession has lit
tie or no enthusiasm in the treat
ment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensa-
ton in medical circles when DR.. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna, and
in a short time became known to
thousands of catarrh sufferers North
South, East and West.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is radical cure for catarrh
began to pour i'll from all directions.
Thousands of letters similar to the
following are on file in the office of
The Peruna Medicine Company.

Turning Gray.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press.
Tall yarns are told from time to time
about people turning gray in a night
from fright or excessive nervous ten
sion, or possibly reaction from shock.
The only instance of rapid hair bleach
ing from internal excitement that ever
came under my observation was of a
youngish man who lost $1,000 in Wall
street on a bad tip. He had pinched
for fifteen years to save that money,
and when it went in an hour some
thing in his blood corpuscles changed.
On Monday his hair was dark brown;
on Saturday it was as white as snow.
