Why Old People are Especially Liable
60 Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explainswhy Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna IS the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.

Colonel Charles w. Larned was talk

and venerable army chaplain.
"A braver and more upright man

ing the civil war he was in the thick
of many a fierce engagement. He
comforted the wounded, cheered on
the brave, and put new spirit into the
faint-hearted.
HE was once distributing cartridges
in the midst of hot fight. AS he ap-
preached certain company he heard
black-bearded private swearing at
the enemy.
"'Blank them!' the man was saying.

PORCUPlNES AND SALT,

Experience That Would Seem to Prove
Salt a Natural Need.
Some men who were camping in the
Adirondacks several years ago, on
breaking camp in the autumn, left an
old tub which was saturated with salt
brine. On returning to the same camp
the next year, they found the tub had
been gnawed until little Of it was left.
They were not long in finding out
what animal had done this work, for
the camp was overrun with Canadian
porcupines. At night they became
such nuisance that the campers were
obliged to kill them to protect their
property. The handle of paddle was
gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence
in such numbers during that year,
when they had not been noticeably
abundant in the previous year, is that
they had made a rendezvous Of the
camp, being attracted by the old brine
tub. On this they feasted all winter,
and for that reason were greatly
pleased with the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is
the liking of salt an acquired or a
natural taste? Were they ever able to
crafty that taste to any extent before
man gave them a chance to do SO?

the chimneys are either erect or if
they are inclined to be out of plumb
