A centenarian,. Breakfast.

New York man who died at the
age OF 104 years. few days ago. had
the same things for breakfast during
the last ninety years-coffee and
doughnuts or crullers, followed by a
pipe OF tobacco. This is sad case
for dietary reformers to consider. but
probably they will maintain that he
would have lived twenty years longer
but for the coffee. doughnuts and to-
bacco.

4 JUDGES WIFE f1 Is, 7 ~ H SIDE
Quickly Cured by a Short
Course of Pe-ru-na.

NJ RS. MINNIE E. McALLISTER,
IL wife of Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West 33rd street, Minneap-
oils. Mimi, as follows:
~ suffered for years with psin In
the small Of my back and right side. II
inferfered often with my domestic and
social duties and never supposed fh1f
would be cured, ~ the doctors medi-
cine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately member of our Order
advisen me to try Peruna and gave 1t
such high praise that l decided to try
it. Although started in with little
faith, felt SO much better in q week
that l felt encouraged.
Il took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that / am entirely cured.
"Words fail 10 express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more II the best
thing could wish for, and thanks to
Peruna, I enjoy that now"
Pain in the back, or on the right side.
How often physician hears this
complaint!
Over and over we hear women say:
81 have paid in the small of my back.
have a pain In my right side, just be-
low the ribs"
These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
OF order-that the pelvic organs are
congested.
Pelvic catarrh-thati is the name forit.
Peruna cures pelvic csfarrh, when
all of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdom-
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one of those cases of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course of treatment with
Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials similar to the above. 1t is inn
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens of the num-
Der of grateful and commendatory let
tiers DR.. Hartman is constantly receiv-
ing in behalf of his famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna.

All soaps, toilet or laundry or house

The little sisters OF the sun
Are shining in the wayside grass;

And signal with their nodding heads.
Behold. the spring has come again!'

NEW STYLE OF MONEY ORDERS.
Department Officials Believe Alteration
to Be IMPOSSIBLE

The first of the new style of money orders
has been issued by the Post Office Depart
ment, and hereafter the crooks who have
been engaged in raising money-order
amounts from 80 cents to 500 or more, will
have a harder row to hoe. In fact the de-
partment feels that it will be impossible to
alter the new form of order. and that all
merchants and others accepting these or
ders in payment for goods will be amply
protected against fraud.
To certain degree the order IS
similar to the style in use several years
ago, in that the approximate amount OF
the order will be "cut OUT of the margin.
For instance, order calling for the pay
ment of s27.56 will show on the margin
Not good for more than $50" The crooks
in raising orders have usually purchased
orders for from 35 cents to 90 cents ana
by erasing the straight line drawn through
the space for dollars have filled in any
amount they wanted. Under the new
scheme an order for 80 cents will bear On
ITS margin a cut-out showing that the or
Ger is not good for more than 81.
A circular has been issued by the first as
sistant postmaster general, informing all
poStmasters that the new orders are ready
for issuance and that they may have sup
ply as soon their stock of the old orders
the new order are the insertion the order
of the name of the remitter of the order

PoSTMASTFRs CAUTIONED
Must See That the Postal Regulations
Are Followed

A practice under which the government
is subjected to loss of money IS called at
tention to in an order which Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Madden has issued
to all postmasters. The order follows:
1T has been brought to attention that
there are frequent cases of disregard of the
provisions of section 4S4 of the postal laws
and regulations. Matter mailed at the sec
ond. third or fourth-cass rate is often made
the vehicle for transmitting other matter
inclosed therein which itself is subject to a
higher postage rate. Postmasters must use
greater care to see that packages accepted
for mailing are prepaid at the rate to which
the highest class of matter inclosed is sub
ject: and whenever it appears that there is
an intent to conceal in a package deposited
for mailing any matter subject to higher
rate than that prepaid, the case should be
promptly reported to the auditor for the
Post Office Department
"Postmasters receiving packa ges for de-
livery should take similar care to see when
the proper rate of postage has not been pre-
paid that the legal rate is collected before
delivery"

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Commission Decides in Favor of the
Red Rock Fuel Company

The interstate commerce commission yes
terday, In an opinion by Commissioner
FIfer, announced its decision in favor of
the complainant in the case Of the Red
Rock Fuel Company against the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. The
railroad company declined to permit side
track connection between its line and
switch or sldetrack to compartments coal
mine in the Farmont district of West
Virginia for the purpose of receiving in
terstate shipments Of coal from such mine
although it has provided and maintained
sidetrack connections for other mines in
that district from which large quantities
of coal are shipped to interstate destina-
lions. 1t Is also found by the commission
that the railroad company controls,
through ownership of capital stock large
coal mining enterprises in the F,airmont
district, which, during the year 1904, ship
ped more than one-haf of the tonnage
from that district The complainant pur-
chased the right of way for a sidetrack
and the physical conditions pertaining to
the proposed connections are found by the
commission to be at least as favorable
those pertaining to connections already
made for other mines in that coal field.
1t also appears from the decision that as
between complainant's and the favored
mines similarity of situation exists in es-
sential respects; that under such discrmi-
nation the complainant is unable to make
interstate shipments of coal from it's mine
and the defendant by continuing Its policy
of denying these facilities to applying own
ers of coal lands, may practically control
in its own interest all of the undeveloped
coal in this field as we'll as derive greater
profits from it's own holdings in mines
already developed in that section.
The jurisdiction of the commission was
questioned by the carrier, but the commas
sion holds that this is a case of d.scrimi-
nation in facilities or instrumentalities of
shipment or carriage, and that its juris-
diction extends to any case of wrongful
prejudice resulting from discrimination in
the provision of such facilities or instru-
mentalities, including sidetrack connec-
tons. The decision is that the discrmi-
nation is not only wrongful as between
complainant and other more favored Ship
pers, but amounts to undue and unreal
sonable preference by the carrier of itself
and that order forbidding further vio-
lation of section three of the statute should
issue accordingly.
