assist in letting the public know Of the
merits of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore il
is almost a national curse, and il is of
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is a result of changeable
climate. Peruna is a result of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrb enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
centers to repel and expel the catarrh
from the system.
Catarrh is a systemic disease and
curable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.

The productiveness OF the soil of
any State is shown by the average
crop yields for a series OF years,
rather than by the total output OF
the State. That the soil In Missouri
Is more productive than most Of the
other great crop growing states is
clearly demonstrated by the official
reports Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which shows the
average production Of corn in Mis-.
souri, during the last four years has
been greater than that Of any other
Of the great corn growing states ex-
cept Illinois. The United States 70.
port gives Missouri credit for pro-
ducing during the last four years
1904 bushels per acre, or an average
yield Of 1913 bushels. For the same
four years 1902 to 1905, inclusive,
the average yield Of corn In Iowa,
one Of the greatest corn states in the
union, IL only 81.0 or one bushsl
lees than an average yisld for Mis-
souri,. In Nebraska another great
corn State during the same period
the average yield was only 500
bushels per acre, or nearly 2 bushels
less than Missouri. In Kansas an
other border State the average yield
was only 26 bushels or 6.8 bushels
less than our own farmers produced.

What Is He Worth.
Post Dispatch.

Post Dispatch.
The salary Of the Equitable Assur.
ancs Society president is $50, 900 a
year. The President OF the Mutual
Life gets $4,000. Other great cor
porations are equally liberal to their
upper servants. A competent pres l.
dentis counted as worth all the wa y
from $25, 900 to 100000 year.
The college professor in the West
receives from $1,000 to $4,000 a year,
A few are worth $4,000, or even
$4,000, but the average salary is
nearer $4,000. Even In the East the
maximum salary paid professor is
said to be $500. In that part OF
the country the average is probably
not above $500.
It thus appears that Mr.. Paul Nor.
ton is worth twenty times as much
as a Harvard professionally Prof.
james, or Muensterberg, or Royce.
Mr.. AcCurdy, who drew $4,000
from the Mutual Life, was worth
about fifty times as much as the pro.
lessor Of philosophy In the greatest
