When Sickness Comes to the
Little Ones
1t Is the Mother Who Chiefly
Suffers.

She suffers even more than the child
who happens 10 be sick.
Her sympathy is deeper than that OF
any other member OF the family.
The mothers look forward with dread
70 the torrid heat Of summer, thinking
OF their children and the many liabilities
10 disease that are before them.
Spring and summer are sure to bring
ailments, especially among the little
folks.
1t does not take a mother very long to
discover that Peruna is the best friend
she has in times of illness among the
children.
The doctors may come and 90 with
their different theories and constant
change of remedies.
The doctor of years ago gave entirely
different remedies than he does today.
Each wear finds some change in his
prescriptions and in the drugs he relies
upon.
A Multitude Of Mothers
Have discovered that Pcruna is the
stand by, and that in all the ailments
of spring and summer to which the
children are subjected, Peruna Is the
remedy that will most quickly relieve.
Whether it is spring fever or stomach
arrangement, whether it is indigestion
or bowel disease, n catarrhal congestion
of the mucous surfaces is the cause.
Peruna quickly relieves this condition
of the mucous membranes. It's opera
ton is prompt, the children do not dis
like TO take the medicine, it has no dele
terious effects in any part of the body.
Ii simple removes the cause of the
disagreeable symptoms and restores the
health.
Peruna is not physic. Peruna is not
a nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does
not produce any drug habit, however
long 1t may be taken. Peruna' j. not a
stimulant.
Peruna is a specific remedy for all
catarrhal ailments Of winter and sum
mer, acute or chronic.
The mothers ali over the United States
are the best friends that Peruna has.
The Mothers Hold Pe-rU-na in High
Esteem,
Not only because it has cured them Of
their various ailments, but because it
always rescues the children from the
throes and grasp Of catarrhal diseases.
We have in our files bushels Of testi-
mouials from mothers whose children
have been cured by Peruna. However,
the large mo jority of mothers who use
Peruna, we never hear from.
But We do hear from a great number
of mothers who are SO oyerjoyed at
some special good they have received
from Pcruna that they cannot restrain
their enthusiasm. They are anxious to
share these benefits with other mothers.

CHANGES IN CABINET
Two New Men VIII Enier Presidents
Official Family.
THREE TO BE TRANSFERRED

Meyer and straus VIII Be Given Port
folos, cortelyou Placed In Treasury,
Metealf In Navy and 5onaparte In
Department Of Justice When Shaw
and Moody Retire.
Washington, Oct. 24--Important
changes will soon be made in the pres
idents official family, according to
announcement made at the White
House Two members of the cabinet
will go out, two new men will come in,
and three members of the present
sabinet will change portfolios.
Incident to the retirement OF Secre-
tary Shaw and Attorney General
Moody from the cabinet the following
changes will be made: Secretary OF
the treasury, George B. Cortelyou;
postmaster general, George Won L..
Meyer; attorney general, Charles j.
Bonaparte; secretary of navy, Victor
H. Metcalf; secretary of commerce
and labor, Oscar S. Straus.
The fact that Meyer was to have a
place in the cabinet has been known
some time, but the name of Straus has
been mentioned only incidentally, II at
all, In the circle of the presidents ad-
visers The transfer Of Cortelyou to
the treasury, Bonaparte to the attor-
ney generalship and Metcalf to the
navy have been generally accepted as
among the probabilities.
The appointment Of Straus caused
considerable surprise, as it will be
the first case where a citizen of the
Hebrew faith has been made a mem-
Der of the presidents cabinet. He
was born Dec 3, 1850, and is we'll
known as a merchant, diplomat and
author He twice represented the
United States as minister to Turkey
and was appointed by President
Roosevelt to All the vacancy caused
by the death of ex-President Harrison
as a member OF the permanent court
OF arbitration at The Hague.
Meyer is ambassador to Russia. to
which place he was appointed March
6, 1905, having been promoted to
that office following his service as
the ambassador to Italy from 1900 to
1905. He is a native Of Massachusetts
and well known as a business man.
The announcement OF the pros
pective changes in the cabinet was
made after a protracted cabinet meet
ing, at which, it is understood, the
whole matter was considered fully.

SHAW'S PLAN.
Secretary of Treasury Makes Known
His Currency Reform.

New York, Oct. 23.-Announcement
was made by Secretary Shaw that
he will stimulate national bank circu-
lation to the extent of $1S,000,000 by
accepting approved securities other
than government bonds for deposits
already made, the bonds released to be
used Immediately as a basis of circu.
lation without withdrawal from the
treasury. He does not object to the
assignment OF the bonds to other
banks than those now holding them,
but to insure their use they must re-
main in the treasury and in addition
the bank taking out the circulation
must agree to retire the same between
March 10 and Aug. 10, 1907.
Banks will be required, when taking
out their circulation, to make applica-
ton for its retirement and the order
Of percent Of retirement from month
10 month will be determined by the
treasury department.
In this way slS,OOO,OOO Of additional
circulation can Immediately be issued
and gradually retired during the
spring and summer months. Secre-
tary Shaw expects to demonstrate in
limited form the benefits of an elastic
currency.
Secretary Shaw also announced that
from and after Oct % deposits to facil-
ltate gold importatlons will be discon-
tinued. He said in connection with
the announcement that importations
exceeded his expectations and he be-
lieved for the present the United
States has quite its share and he has
no disposition to disturb conditions in
Europe by continuation OF that meth
Cd OF relief.

A Tree of Many Powers.

The ash tree is rich with superstition
The old charlatans Of the middle ages
used It in their love potions, and the
damsels OF ancient times believed that
1t would enable them to make their
sweethearts true and help them to dis
cover their future husbands. The in
habltants of Iceland still look with
dread upon the use Of mountain ash as
fuel. Their belief that it will make
enemies Of all who gather round q
hearthstone on which it burns is deey
seated and was once almost universal
In Europe.
SuperstitiOus seekers after good luck
may still be found invoking the spirit
of the even leaved ash, after the man
ner of the ancient tree worshipers
with the verses:
Even ash, DO pluck thee,
Hoping thus to meet good luck;
II no luck 1 get from thee
shall wish thee on tree.

Natural Gas statlstlos.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Statistics
prepared by the geological survey Of
the natural gas industry show that
in the calendar year 1905 the value
OF natural gas produced and sold ex
ceeded that of any previous year by
S3,066,099 The total value Of the gas
produced and sold was S4l,562, ,S55.
The greatest increase was in West
Virginia, S1,961 ,655 more than the
previous year. Pennsylvania shows
an increase Of $1,O57, ,442. Louisiana
appeared forethe first time as a gas
producing state, and notable increases
over previous productions were
shown by Kansas, Oklahoma and III
dian Territory. Kansas showed an
increase of 40 per cent. over its pre-
vious production and the combined
production Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory was 161 per cent. over 1904.
The great gas fields Of Indiana have
steadily declined since 1902 and the
value Of the output last year was con-
siderably less than half of the maxi
mum production. Kentucky and Ten
uessee also report a decline.

Raters. snIIabout. and Lark..

What is a rater, Il sailabout. lark,
Is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater is
thirty-eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib. The
half rater is thirtytwo feet long, car
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets a five minute handi-
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
rles single large sail and is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most OF the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerbOard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board is often entirely out Of water
during heavy winds; hence the use OF
the double board.

Tickling Human Vanity.

Few people realize how profitable the
trade of tickling human vanity is and
how many different forms 1t employs.
There are obscure newspapers and
nominal magazines that live by 1t and
provide good incomes for their editors
1t is quite common to find upon center
tables luxurlously bound and printed
volumes whose contents consist en-
tlrely Of fulsome puffs. Each profes.
sion, trade, avocatlon and association
has its library OF memorabilia OF per.
sons OF the kind who, in Lowell's
phrase, were created to I'LL up the
world. The writer remembers seeing
In the "best room" of remote farm
house a morocco bound, gild edged vol
ume upon the notabilities OF the eoun-
try. which contained biography and
engraved portrait OF rustlcus horribilis
himself. The original volunteered the
information that his niche in the local
pantheon had cost him a sum, which,
on later conversation, was disclosed to
be larger than a years interest on the
mortgage encumberlng the farm
Wilbur Larremore in Atlantic.

New Orleans, Oct. 25-The cutting

count Of lack Of sidewalks or crossings
was announced by the postofflce de-
partment. The order is effective Nov.
1. II was announced that free deliv-
cry will be resumed as fast as side

Behrman said he will protest against

ground that the city has been delayed

time this obstacle will be overcome.

Hn. the Mn.n AnectIonf

A colony of wasps made a nest in the
dark room of a studio last summer. AT
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for GER
tain reasons he did not molest them
He paid no attention to the little bug
zers, and they came and went at their
own sweet will. After a time he began
to study them and soon came to tho
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall. Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like a bullet. Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with rush at the stranger and two
of them located him. But the writer
has never been touched by his wasp
colony. Magazine.
