yenturous person of the past test it

our future, we find that the klamath
Indians alone eat forty kinds of vege-

lists are testing these vegetables, and
are finding them to be palatable and
nutritious.
Among them is the wichpi, which
grows on the margins of the western

"Bus Wagon" Death to Germs,

San Francisco's bug wagon" the
Board of Health's latest enterprise
aiming toward the extinction of all
forms of germs and dangerous bacilli,
had practical Test in a workshop at
22S Folsom street. The various vare-
ties of germs were placed on cards
and buried in the center of pillows
and mattresses, which were placed in
the oven or sterilzing box. Steam to
the amount of thirty pounds pressure
was turned on, and after twenty min
utes it was withdrawn and a forma-
ton of chemical gases was allowed to
enter the vacuum. Whether the
germs met instant death cannot be de-
termined until after a post mortem,
which is now in progress at the city
laboratory. The sterilizer, the first
of its kird to be built, is self-propell-
ing and has a speed Of about five miles
an hour. The machine resembles a
steam road grader somewhat in ap-
pearance, and weighs nearly four tons.

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Pc'una has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing n drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
ent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are Il multitude of homes where Pcruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Pcruna contained any drugs Of

IRISH SroRIEs.-Of stories of Irish
hospitality Mr.. Macready had full
supply; also Of hotel attendants and

asked the girl In attendance for
poached eggs. She looked bit nom
plused at first, but after a little hes
itation replied, There are no poached
eggs In the place, sir, but think I
could get you some poached salmon"
In a poor little cottage Of two rooms
he saw a married couple and seven
children. Hearing a baby cry, he ask
ed to see 1t and explained that he
took an interest In babies, having one
at home. The infant was produced
for inspection, and the mother asked
proudly, "Is yours as big as that
sir" To which he replied, II think It
is a little bigger" Instantly the In
stincts Of the mother were reused and.
tossing her head, she said: $50 well
1t might be. That's only half Of ours;
the other half is with God. We had
twins"
At a hotel one Of the party asked.
Have you got any celery, waiter%
mo, sir" was the significant answer.
"I relies on me chances" That man
deserved an extra tip. On another oc-
