Pe-Tu-nd Contains NO Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic OF any kind. Pc
runa Is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is permanent
in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re.
moving the cause of catarrh. There are

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(SpeciaD
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintances
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodds Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infiammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year l could not do as much as
baby could do, then l rallied a little
bit and then relapse. Then year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.
l suffered untold agony and in Au-
gust, 1903, when my husband died l
could not ride to the grave.
81 only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
nelly Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodds Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

TENT TREATMENT FOR
TUBERCULOUS INSANE
Superintendent of Large Eastern Hospital Has
Demonstrated Its Efficiency

Even at the outset, however, the pro-
tests, whether from patients or their
friends, were surprisingly few, and
latterly they have been more apt to
arise, If at all, over the patients re-
turn to the buildings when that be-
came necessary.
The question of medication may in
the present writing be dismissed with
very brief reference. 1t has been
found unnecessary to extend it great
ly, and 1t has been limited mainly to
the treatment of symptoms. Stimula-
tion-alcoholic and the like-has been
found of but little demand or use, and
the quantities consumed-always I'M
der individual medical prescription
have been Insignificant On the other
hand, the dietary has been made as
liberal as the imposed restrictions of
the State Hospital schedule have per-
mitted, both in the way of regular
diet and extras, and in the leading es-
sentials-milk and eggs-private do
nations have supplemented the regular
supply iDuI uOpShuChSC, dllCi all iioo
been mainly placed upon the rigid
isolation and disinfection, and upon
the unlimited supply of fresh air. AS
an interesting incidental fact it may
be mentioned that not only the pa
tents, but also the nurses living in the
camp have enjoyed almost complete
immunity from other pulmonary dis
eases. Not a single case of pneumonia
has developed in the camp in it's ex-
istence of over three years, though it
causes 131 deaths in the hospital prop
err in that time The common colds"
SO frequent among their fellows living
upon the wards, or in the Attendants
Home, have been unknown among the
tent-dwellers.
The popular idea that the consump-
tive Is doomed man unless he can
at once abandon home and family and
business and betake himself to some
remote region would seem to be mega
tived by our Wards Island expert
ence. The Wards Island camp is but
a few feet above the tide-water level,
it's site is swept in winter by winds of
high velocity, coming over the ice
bound waters of the rivers and the
sound which surround it, and 1t suf-
fers as much as, or more than, any
other part of the city of New York
from the trying changes of tempera-
ture and humidity which are so char
acteristic of its climate. II, in spite
of all these drawbacks, what has been
done can be done, and that for insane
patients, what may not be hoped from
the extension of the same methods to
the ordinary consumptive Of sound
mind, anxious for recovery and capa-
BILE of giving intelligent assistance in
the struggle?

New York, June 27.-There is much
talk on Wall street about peace be-
tween Russia and Japan. Every eff
fort is being made in certain fnan-
cial quarters to bring about peace and
also to curb Japan.
Certain life insurance companies
figuring of late in scandal are large
holders of Russian bonds. In the last
ten years it has been sort of finan-
cial fad for some financial concern to
send an agent to Russia and buy a
few hundred million bonds and in the
deal of rake off secure the right to
do business in that country. An in
vestigation of some of these deals, 1t
is talked, would show that some of
the financiers operating managed to
get personally fair commissions on
the Russian plan of doing business.
Over a billion dollars has been sent
from this country to Russia for bonds,
and these holders through the COM
munity of interests have been patri-
otically shouting for peace ever since
Japan showed who would win. Now
they are using their usual influence
to get fighting stopped. This done,
they will shout for easy terms for
Russia. They will insist that Japan
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1905-07-07

should be generous, can afford to be
generous, and, in fact, must be easy
to Russia. This means that they do
not want their bonds endangered.
They are shouting at Japan to quit
fighting, and would like to get the
government to brighten Japan, butt
in and save Russia from loss of an
other battle. If the land forces are
defeated again more money will be
asked by Japan in settlement. This
is why they want the fighting stop
ped.
When negotiations for peace start
in then there will be a great howl
for Japan not to impose big money
terms. All the deceit of diplimacy
will be used to cheat Japan. BULLDOG
ing and threats and all sorts of in
timidation will be used to get cheap
terms for Russia by way of improving
chances to get that interest on Rus
sian bonds.
The situation is fully known to
Japan, whose representatives here
feel that the people of the United
States cannot lie buncoed into butting
into the game to save interest cou-
pons for the bunch trying to use the
government in their own selfish finan.
cial designs.

buy NHSW just TOW FdT TIC "iSHl
Trespass.
With both hands more or less occu-
pied in holding a large tray of choco-
lates, he was standing at William
street corner, singing the cheapness of
his wares in voice decidedly Italian.
When any one wanted to buy, he
carefully adjusted the tray on his left
hand, and made the exchange with
his right. 1t was necessary, during
this operation, to be very still, so as
not to overturn his wares.
Presently a messenger boy came
along, and sizing up the situation,
staggered up to the tray, slowly
picked out the latest choco-
late, and inserted it in his mouth.
Then he leered. The Italian was all
of tremble with motions that he
didn't dare let loose. First he shifted
the tray to- one hand, then to the
other, yet never daring to strike for
fear of spilling his candy.
The boy still leered. and just as he
started to go, delicately, nonchalantly,
picked another chocolate. The Italian
looked frantically around for some
place to set his tray down, and while
he looked, kept calling in voice as
mild as honey: Come here, little boy,
come here"
Whereupon the boy took to his
heels.-New York Evening Post.

Jefferson's Prayer and PouItice.

The late Joseph Jefferson was sud
denly taken i'll while visiting at the
home of a friend. The wife of the
gentleman whose hospitality he had
enjoyed became alarmed over his con-
dition, and, being of religious turn
of mind, wished to instill in the mind
of the actor her belief in the necessity
for spiritual contemplation. A call to
his room for the purpose of applying
a poultice gave her the much desired
opportunity.
"Mr. Jefferson" she said, nervously
shifting the poultice from one hand to
the other, ''for your sake, for the sake
of your friends, your family, II
would like to pray for you"
The actor listened attentiveiy, and
his answer came slowly. Eyes,
madam" he said, you may-for my
sake, for your sake, for everybody's
sake, but for heavens sake put on
that poultice."

barley is tender, strain off the liquor,

be used instead of cream.
