Peruna is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, .he preacher-all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testi- mony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from eatarrh. Caiarrh is well-nigh universal. Peruna is the best safeguard known.

commerclalized Athletics.

The gate receipts ol some of the big college football games on Thanksgiy- ing day are as high as s30, 900 and sio.- GOO. the Chicago Record Herald says, in an editorial discussing commercial ized college athletics. It notes that President Schurman says that it eoIld not be driven out without the aboli- tion of the gate receip:s. and that President Harper suggests that a fund be raised to produce sl5,000 a year, and thus eliminate the money ques- tion. The RecorI-Herald concludes thus: "Certair 1t is that if the rniver- sities cannot overcome their conner cial system of grating athletics a: time when hard blows against graft and similar abuses are being struck m both the political and business spheres of practical life. they will be left ln an awkward position whenever their claim to be the bearers of the torch of progress is under consideration.

THE VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
The Fertilizer NaIue of Cotton seed and the Proper Basis of En-
 change nt the uill.

The value of cotton seed for some time past has beeh of great interest. as is shown by the large number of letters or the subject. Cotton seed and cotton seed real are very valuable. both for feed and for fertilizer. ln the present article we Nil consider their valna as fertilizers.
 Users of fertilizers know what acid phosphate, lainit. other fertilizer ma terials and mixed fertilizers cost The fertilizing Value of cotton seed and cotton seed neal can best be shown by compar: son with the above fertiliz- ing materials. In fact, it is with these that they have to compete when they are put on the market for use as fer tliZcTs, or when used at home as such.
 In IA per cent. acid phosphate there are II pounds Of phosphoric acid tthe valuable fertiliZing constituent Of the acid phOsphate1 in each enc hundred pounds, or 2s0 pounds in one ton Of two thousand pounds. Al $l4 per ton, the phosphorie acid costs , cents per pound. kainit carries about 125 per cent. of potash. the fertilizins constit- uent of value in this material. One ton of kainit would contain 25e pounds Of potash, which, at Sl3.50 per ton, would make the potash cost 5.4 cents per pound.
 Cotton seed neal in this state must contain not less than 7t2 per cent. am monia, or 1j0 pounds in the ton. When meal of this grade sells for s25 per ton, and the phosphoric acid in it is valued at cents per pound, the potash at 5.4 cents tthe price of these materials in acid phosphate and kainiD the am- monia would cost 13.5 cents per pound. On basis of this data:
 One ton t2,000 pounds) cotton seed meal contains and is worth: Ammonia, 150 fbd13.50c. S20.25 Phosphorie acid. 56 lbd5e...... 2.So Potas, 36 1bm5.4c. 195

Fertilizlng value one ton cotton


 seed .......... l t5.-d
 It is thus seen that cotton seed, pound for pound. have a httle more than cne-half the fertilizing value of meal. When the meal is high grade, containing eight or more per cent of ammonia, it has more than double the fertilizing value Of the seed.
 For seed, S13.25 per ton is about the same as twenty cents per bushel, and st2.73 corresponds to l9.1 cents per bushol.
 IL therefore follows that the farmer who sells cotton seed at twenty cents per bashe and buys meal at S26 per ton is getting the fertilizing materials contained In the meal at the same price as that he carried 10 the mill In the seed. In like manner 19l cents per bushe, for seed corresponds very nearly in fertilizing value to $25 per ton fer meal.
 When seed are eJid for 15.1 cents per hushel aId meal bought at $26 per ton the farmer actually gives the oil man sa value in the seed than he gets back in tho meal. With seed at sixteen cents per bushel, the difference is even greater and no iaymer can afford 10 sell seed al these prices and buy meal even at S25 per .on.
 Considerable quantities Of seed are exchanged fer meal av the oil mills, the rate of exchange being usually HOO to 1,400 pounds of meal for a ton of seed It has been seen from the above that the one ton of cotton seed contain s12.73 worth of ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash on basis of what is paid foi these three constituents in acid phosphate at $l4 kaiait at $13.50 and cotton seed neal at s25. per ton each.
 What quantity Of mea, will contain these nstituents to the same value as one ton Of cotton seed?
 One thousand and nineteen pounds of meal, containing seven and half per cent. ammonia, will contain and be worth

From every point of view the fortieth

block in which the hall is located was
crowded with coaches before four o'clock.
Rain kept none of the graduates and pu-
pills away When the curtain rose the
audience grew enthusiastic over the
scene presented. Nearly hundred girl
pupils in white with the fair graduates
in the centre of the first row formed as
pretty a scene of life as can be put upon
any stage.
There were six graduates of the Aca-
demic department. eleven of the CONNER
c;ai High School course and eleven of the
Stenographic course. The graduates of
the Academic course were Miss Helen

Mayor Fagan and Corporation Coun-
sci George L. Record are going to New
ark next Tuesday night to help along
Everett Colby's boom for the Republican
nomination for Senator: Mr.. Colby has
no more use for Carl Lentz and the
Republican machine OF Essex County
than Mayor Pagan has for Col Dickin-
son Or his Hudson County machine
Major Lentz says that Mr.. Colby is
being backed in his fight BY the Stand
ard Oil interests. Mr.. Colby says this is
one Of the Majors jokes. He is max
ing his fight on an anti-corporation plat
form, and is winning the support Of
many influential members of the organic
zation Of which Maj. Lentz is the head.
Some Newark Republicans charge that
his candidacy is prompted by Mr.. Rec
ord, who has aspirations for the Repub-
lican State leadership.
