In old age the mucuous membranes
become thickened and partly lose
their function.
This leads to partial loss Of hear
ing, smell and taste, as well as digest
i've disturbances.
Peruna corrects all this by its spe-
cific operation on all the mucuous
membranes Of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone
Once used and Peruna becomes a life
long standby with old and young.

form it into small, thin rounds, just
large enough to hold heaping tea
add a lump of butter and form into
round dumplings. Corn previously
cooked on the ear is easier to use than
fresh, unless the latter is well drained,

THE FASTEST wARsHIP AFLoAT.
Proud Honor Held by the Kentucky
of the U. 8. Navy.


of the v. 8. Navy.
In stripping the Kearsarge OF her
laurels gained in her record-breaking
run from Southampton to New York
the battleship Kentucky. one OF the
great fighting ships Of the navy,
marked up the records for the navies
Of the world and demonstrated once
more the supremacy Of American ma
val architecture.
In the fighting efficiency Of the mod
ern battleship speed and endurance
are important factors. The floating
fortress must not only have the guns
and the men behind the guns, but she
must be able to cover long distances
at a high rate of speed without mis-
hap. Judged by these standards the
Kentucky must be crowned queen OF
the American navy.
Under the command Of Captain Rob-
ert M. Berry and with Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans and STAFF on board,
the Kentucky made the run from Ma
deira, 1886 knots, at an average
speed of 1882 knots an hour. The
record Of the trip includes 1876
knots from Hongkong in thlrty-nine
steaming days, being an average OF
315 knots a day, including the slow
passage of the Suez canal, record
reached by no other warship Of the
United States. During her absence
Of three years and seven months on
the other side of the world her total
sailing was 68,157 knots.
Several years ago the Kearsarge
stuck her nose In the air and made a
dash from Southampton to New York
at an average Of 1850 knots under
natural draught. Upon this achieve
ment she has received the plaudits of
the whole country. 1t was pointed
out that she had steamed 5000 miles
before her record run without having
made repairs. But the Kentucky, be-
fore the run completed on Saturday,
had steamed 1900 miles to Honolulu
and back, making a total distance Of
$4,000 miles, without repairs to en-
gines.
