no member is allowed to withdraw.

The Fear of Grip Makes People
Nervous.

There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by the
grip better than Peruna.
Peruna strengthens as it renovates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals as it
expurgates.
Peruna is not purgative, or cathartic
or sedative, or stimulant, nor a yege-
table or mineral poison.
Il reaches the source of all diseases of
the mucous membranes by its action on
the vaso-motor system of nerves.

Natural Flowers on Petticoats.

The capricious beauty who is con-
WINGED that diamond tiaras and steam
yachts are requisite to a contented
mind is now adding the new Flower
petticoat' to this list of necessities, for
it is beautiful and expensive enough to
captivate her fancy, says the New
York Press So far as making and ma
terial Is concerned it does not vary
much from any other skirt adapted to
evening wear, for ii is made of white
silk, embroidered with roses or viOlets
and festOOned with fiounces of real
lace. The unusual feature about it,
however, is that there are ribbons at
tached to the upper 1ounces which are
designed to hold punches of natural
flowers every time the skirt is worn.
Thus this dainty affair is able to radi-
ate a fragrance SO sweet and subtle
that as yet the most skilled perfumer
has been unable to initiate it.

After Effects of the Grip.

Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take course
OF Peruna. No one need expect perfect
recovery unless they do so.
The grip has produced catarrhal in
flammation of the whole mucous mem
brane, and good health is impossible
until these are restored to a normal con-
dit;on, This Peruna Will do.
A great many remedies have been
suggested for this condition from time TO
time, but Peruna is the only remedy
that has any substantial value in these
cases.

occupies the unique position of being
the leading III not the only) specific
remedy for the after-effects of la grippe.
No Time Like the Present.
If you are suffering from the after
effects of la grippe-if you have be-
come discouraged in yonr attempts to
cure Yourself with other treatments,
take bottle OF Peruna now.
A bottle of Peruna taken during the
beginning of the disease is worth more

usually destructive the last season and they are supposed to be more numerous just now than within the memory of the oldest stocknan.
 It is. estimated that the natural death list of young calves is two and half per cent. The average loss of stockmen is from fifteen to twenty per cent. The stockmen say that
 therefore the loss occasioned by the mountain lions is from twelve and a half to seventeen and a half per cent. The mountain lions have almost
 broken up the business of horse rais- ing on the ranges for they prefer for some reason the flesh of a colt to that
 of any other animal. It is said that
 as a result of their ravages last year not fifty colts are left alive on the | ranges between Phoenix and Prescott. In the course of a year a great many mountain lions are killed by cowboys who run across them accidentally, catching them eatingNhe animal which they perhaps killed the night before. | The beasts, however, cannot be sue | cessfully hunted without the aid of dogs trained for that purpose. The dogs are expensive. The first cost is high so that when a dog is brought | here from Texas he usually stands his
 owner at not less than $50. Then there 1 is the item of his training and after | all he may not turn out to be a lion
 hunting dog.
 Most of the calves killed by the lions
 are under six months old, though now
 and then 9 lion, driven by hunger, has l been known to attack and kill a two l year old. If they would content them ! selves with eating the carcasses of the | animals they kill the loss to the stock | men would not be so heavy, but now and then a lion develops an epicure l taste and wants nothing but the blood of the calf Frequently a stockman i finds on the range close together the ! carcasses of three or four calves all 1 killed by the same animal. A stock | man speaking yesterday on this mat | ter said that a few days ago Q iion
 was traced to his hiding place in the mountains along the Verde and killed. i Scattered about the place were the | bodies of eleven calves, all killed with ' in a comparatively short time.
 ! It will be urged that the bounty be
 increased to $50 for females and $35
 for males. Those figures would en-
 courage men to go into the business
 of lion hunting and would enable them 2 to go to the expense of getting to-
 gether large packs of blood hounds | There are two or three hunting out
 fits in the territory and they kill many
 of the lions every year but not enough
 of them to appreciably lessen the ex-
 tent of their devastation. The other
 day one of these outfits with twenty
 dogs crossed the ranges along the
 Verde. Their kills while in that vicin-
 ity ranged from two to four daily. ] IT such a law as has been suggest
 ed should be passed it would result
 the stockmen think in making the
 mountain lion an extinct animal in this
 territory within the next two years.

THE nouNrAIN LlON PEST
Something to Be Done to Check It's
 Ravages on the Ranges.

It is probable that a bill will be in troduced into the legislature for an in crease of the bounty on lion scalps. It is now $20; that is, supervisors may allow as much as $20, but many boards have cut the amount down to S10.
 It is the opinion of stockmen that the average supervisor does not un- derstand the seriousness of this pest which they say in the course of the life of the lion damages the stock in terests to the extent of not less than $500. Their incursions have been un-

Heavy Rains in Kansas.

Kansas City.-Soaking rains have
fallen in western Missouri and Kan
sas. The flood coming on top of al
most continuous heavy rains during
the past ten days. all streams are up
and more or less damage has been
done. Low lying portions of Argen-
tine and Armourdale districts of Kan
sas City, Kan, occupied principally by
packing houses and railway employees,
have been flooded. This has been caus-
ed principally by backwater from de-
fective sewers, and no serious dam
age is likely to follow. Although the
Kaw river at this point has risen rap
idly and continues to come up, it must
rise 10 feet yet before it becomes
really threatening. The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific pile bridge across
the Kaw river near Kansas avenue, in
Armourdale, was carried out and the
Kansas City Southern pile bridge was
threatened.

RUINS OF SOUTH AFRICA
Relics Found of tile Finest Nature
Worshiping Shrine Known to Man.

Richard N. Hall, who has given
eight years to the study of the ancient
monuments In southern Rhodesia, says
that none of the hundreds of ruins has
been more than partially explored
Many important ruins have been seer
only by casual travellers, and the work
OF unearthing only part of the Great
Zimbabwe area would be more than
the labor Of lifetime. Still, researches
have made great progress In the past
few years. There are In Rhodesia no
less than 800 distinct ruins and groups
OF ruins. Only few scores of these
are entitled to rink as ancient" The
larger part Of them probably do not
date back OF the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth centuries.
There is overwt Ginning evidence al

civilization and arts possessed by the
builders of tho earliest period. The
Zimbabwe temple is the finest and
most intact example of a nature-wor-
Shipping shrine known to the world. It's
construction points Enthusiastically to
some knowledge of geometry and as.
tronomy on the part OF the builders.
1t is quite certain that even the cruder
methods of Zlmbabwe of applying this
knowledge, which was common to the
ancient Semitic peoples, wers imported
from the nelr east and did not orig

STANDARDS SPY SYSTEM.
The Oil Monopoly Uses 1t to Avert
Strikes.


Although Mr.. Rockefeller states that
absolute fairness in dealing with en-
ployes is the reason that the Standard
Oil company is never annoyed by
strikes, there is another contributory
cause which Mr.. Rockefeller did not
mention. This is the existence of an
organization of which the public hith-
erto knew nothing. 1t is the intelli-
gence bureau of the Standard Oil.
There are 55 men in it, four station
ed in Cleveland and the other 81 scat
tered all over the world, the majority
being in the United States. Among
other things, it is their duty to mix
with the men employed by the Stand
ard Oil company in all of it's depart
ments. This they do to keep watch
for labor agitators. Whenever a labor
agitator arrives in any of the Stand
ards plants the intelligence men get
his confidence. If found necessary the
labor agitator is discharged.

NO WAR is LIKELY.
Delegates of Norway and Sweden Are
About to Reach Agreement.


Karlstad, Sept. 1S.-The first Off
cial communication indicating that the
delegates of Norway and Sweden were
approaching an understanding in their
effort to establish a modus vivendi for
the countries as separate governments
was given out tonight at the close Of
the joint session OF the delegates. The
announcement reads:
THE probabilities are that in the
near future negotiations can be
brought to definite result"
This somewhat cryptic announce
ment is accepted as indicating that the
negotiations have reached a stage
where an agreement is in sight, and
resort to arms, which might have
involved either power may safely be
considered to be out of the question.

AMERICAN WOMAN AND HOME
A Critic Says the Former Has ADoI-
ished the Latter.

ished the Latter.
1 have not seen a single home in
two great American cities, though 1
have visited many, says an oriental
writer in Public Opinion. The hearth
has been abolished, the radiator has
taken its place. The home is without
Its presiding deity-the wise. affec-
tlonate, self-sacrifcing mother, the
true wife whose love for her husband
was her best jewel, whose devotion to
all around her insured peace and har-
mony, the very life of a home.
And who has usurped the throne of
this domestic deity? A lady partner
who has agreed, before a church altar
or In a registry office, to live together
with the man of her momentary choice,
as long as it suits her or the man, In
a suite of rooms or a house for the
purpose of enjoying and hunting ma
terial pleasures. 1t is a lady who has
abolished the home as a relic of bar
barous age, and turned It into sitting,
talking and sleeping rooms with com
Portable or luxurious conveniences,
who has made over the kitchen and
housekeeping to hired cooks and maid
servants or housekeepers to escape the
bother Of worldly worries; In many
cases abolished 1t along with the
home, prefering to eat ready cooked
foods In hotels and restaurants. 1t is
a lady who tries to expiate the sin Of
her share in race suicide" by caring
more for a baby dog fed to square pro-
portions or a cat INDUCED out of all
proportions than for a human being
Ii Is a lady who knows no more Of
bringing up children than she knows
Of keeping a house or cooking, both
of which she hates. Hence children
generally are either trained by nurses
or governesses or allowed to grow as
wild as they can In character, their
young, impressionable minds being de-
prived Of the character building in
huences of maternal love and its life
enduring lessons.
This lady, this newest feminine
freak of nature, is responsible for
much Of the disastrous confusion in
human society in this land. But who
is responsible for her being so7 The
men-her father and husband. The
father wishes her to eat well, look
well, sing well, be well educated and
healthy, and full of fascinating man
ners, so that she may catch rich
husband who. the mother hopes, would
be as great fool and as good slave
as her own. And when the fool and
slave is secured, she has a glorious
ride on her mental automobile, whose
wheels are her whims, whose steam is
supplied by her vanity and her hus-
bands indulgence, whose track is self
ishness, whose destination is moral
ruin.
