STOP THAT COUGH!
Colds Lead Leads to CONSUMPTION

Miss Lillia, of Illinois, started out
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took course OF Peruna before It was
too late. She had caught several colds.
then cough developed. She took all
sorts OF cough medicines, until, as she
puts 1t, 81 sickencd at the sight of them.v
In four weeks Peruna had cured her OF
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid of it.
This Is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has a similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption Ia
catching cold. The nextstep is failure
to cure it promptly. The third step ia
the development of ca tarrh, which grad
ually becomes chronic. The fourth step,
the catarrh begins to spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
catarrh spreads to tbs bronchial tubes
and lungs. 1t then becomes consump-
ton in its first stage.
At any time during the progress Of the
catarrh, from the first onset of the cold
to its final settlement in the lungs, Pc
runa can be relied upon to stop the dis
ease. 1t cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroughly
developed, many cases have found in
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians to die
of consumption Peruna has cured them.
We have hundreds of testimonials
that declare these facts in the most
enthusiastic language.
&@~ T~I~ NJ MI
Nebraska, writes the following letter
from Washington, d. c., under date OF
April 6, 1901:
81 have used Peruna ut various times
during the past year or two with most
satisfactory results.
at entirely relieved me from an irri-
tating cough, the result of excessive
effort in the Presidential campaign, and
am flrEl believer in its efficacy in
any such trouble."-Jno. NJ. Thurston.
To take quieting medicines to stop q
cough is absurd and harmful. The only
way to stop a cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good is
to cure the catarrh, which is exactly
what Peruna does. 1t cures the catarrh
Of the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance Of cough
a bottle of Peruna should be taken
according to directions. One bottle in
the beginning will do more than n half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write Mt once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement Of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

RESOLVE.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Build on resolve, and not upon regret
The structure of thy future. Do not grope
Among the shadows Of old SINS but let
Thine own souls light shine on the path
of hope
And dissipate the darkness. Waste no tears
Upon the blasted record Of lost years,
But turn the leaf and smile, OH smile to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee
Prate not of thy repen lance. But believe
The spark divine dwellsin thee; let IT. grow
That which the approaching spirit can achieve
The grand and all creative forces know;
They will assist and strengthen as the light
Lifts mp the acorn to the oak tree height.
Thou hast but to resolve, and 10! Gods whole
Great universe shall fortify thy soul.

Provisions from Trees.


 There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which Is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti. ties of oil and tallow are extract. ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. ltiss ssaidto be equally good and nu. tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Phjladelphis Ledger.

A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring Product of Nature, Found
 Only in California.

California's attraction are mostly of it's own kind, peculiar to it's kind and of none is this so emphatically true as that unique product, the big trees. The age of these colossi is from 1,500 to 2, ,000 years.
 The Mariposa grove, which can be visited while. en route to the Yosemite, contains some of the largest. In the .Calaveras grove are from ninety to one hundred of huge size. Near Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove of redwood big trees, which will well employ a day. pleasant visit. These can be best reached by the Union Pacific, whose fast trains from Missouri river reach Cali fornia 16 hours ahead of all com petitors.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
got Warranted by Number of Kaissr's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest, For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not well founded. One such reason ie that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominOus. ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,9 No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000, 900, of which number less than 5000, ,O00 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14.0O0,0O6 whites. Of these, in 1901, only
 2,700,000 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 5000 were Germans.
 The latest and highest estl. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,000, or lit. tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra, gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer. ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed iH certain states as to form 8 ma jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900, 900, SO that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. .rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 30O,OOO, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,OO0 in 2SO,O0O, and in Sac Paul0 3O,. 900 in 1,43O.OOO.
 1t is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit. ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.
