After Effects of the Grip.

Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take a
course of Peruna.
The grip has produced catarrhal in
fammation of the whole mucous MEM
brane, and good health is impossible
until these are restored to a normal con-
ditiOn. 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 gained great popularity in
these cases.
1t has seldom failed to give satisfac-
ton during forty years experience and
still occupies the unique position of
being the leading and most generally
used 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 become
discouraged in your attempts to cure
yourself with other treatments, take a
bottle of Peruna now.
A bottle of Peruna taken during the
beginning of the disease is worth more
than a dozen bottles after the trouble
has become deep-seated.

If YOU have a horse to feed, you

In the case of the lot fed on the same
ration, but with timothy substituted
for clover, the gain was but 142
pounds, and the timothy ration cost
more than clover.
From this it lis plain that timothy

From the view point of the average
man housewOrk is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go to bed for nap
if she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs just to suit her own
convenience. If she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
of the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
ters, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermOst
of human strength, had said to the
toiling slaves, vDon't hurry, take a
rest every now and then - only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble"
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
uNow, I'll be my own Mistress" finds
herself slave to household cares and
duties.
And OH how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give if she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in a darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
same story over again tomorrow. TFs
real need of weak, nervous womer IS
strength, and that need is fully met
and satisfied by DIR. Pierce's F9 gorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak women
strong and sick women well. 1t re-
moves the causes of women's weak
ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the
nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces restful sleep. vFavorite Pre-

scription," writes Miss Earline Agard,

E. s. GREENFIELD
 IS UNDER ARREST
CONFESSES TO ENTERTAINMENT OF LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM HARRISON, SNYDER & SONS BANk-LosT GAMBLING.

Philadelphia, May 9.-Charged with hav- ing embedded upwards of $1O0O00 from his employers, Edwin S. Greenfield, head clerk of the banking and brokerage firm of Harrison Synder & Son of this city, was arrested here today and held in $10,- GOO bail by a police magistrate for further hearing tomorrow. In default of bail he was sent to the county prison. Greenfield has made a full confession and is doing everything possible to assist the firm in strengthening out it's tangled books
 Following the public announcement of the embezzlement, creditors filed a petit tion in bankruptcy against George E. s. Snyder, trading as Harrison Snyder & Son, in the United States court, and later Judge McPherson appointed Charles N. vollum as receiver.
 Greenfield is about 30 years of age and has wife and two children. He rose from the position of office boy to the position of head clerk, and trusted representative of the banking house. Greenfield said that he took money at different times dur ing the last six years and that he lost most of it speculating in bucket shops. He could not give even an approximate figure of the money he had taken.
 The accountants believe the amount of money embezzled will be considerably over $l25,0O0 and may reach s175,OO0.

Football Under New Rules Will Be
 Played at Harvard This Year.

Boston, May 9.-Authority to resume the game of football at Harvard, which was ordered to be discontinued on account of the brutality of the contest was given this afternoon by a vote of the board of overseers of Harvard college though the decision to permit the game was by no means unanimous. Nine members of the board, including President Eliot regis tered themselves as opposed to the con tinuance of football. The overseers in favor numbered 15
 Under the vote of today intercollegiate football is permitted at Harvard during the season of 1906 but not later than De- cember 1. The game must be played under the new rules and upon such terms and conditions as the committee on the regula- tion of athletic sports shall consider avail able, in order to test the proprety of continuing intercollegiate football in the future This was the recommendation of the subcommittee of the overseers ap- pointed to investigate and report on the football question.

TWO PROPOSITIONS
 ENGAGE THE HOUSE
GOVERNMENT MANUFACTURE OF SUPPLIES AND cost OF COAL TRANSFORMATION TO THE PHIL lPPINEs DISCUSSED.

Washington, May 9.-Nearly the entire time of the House was taken up by two proposltions-firs whether the Navy De- partment should go into the open market and purchase anchors, chains and cord age, or continue to manufacture these articles in the government navy yards as is done, and second, whether the cost of transporting coal from Atlantic and gulf ports to the Philippine Island in Amer ean bottoms should be limited to S5 or $6 per ton. On the first proposition one of the prettiest legislative combats of the session occurred, the debate extending over the major portion of the session. Representative Loud of Michigan insisted that there could be saving of over s3O0,- 900 year to the government if the Navy Department was permitted to go Into the free markets and purchaseianchors, chains and cordage under suggestions of the de- partment MT. Grosvenor of Ohio and members of the Michigan and Pennsyl- vania delegations aided MT. Loud in his fight, the opposition being represented by MT. Roberts of Massachusetts, Mir Fitz- gerald of New York, MT. McNary of Massachusetts and MT. Rixey of Virginia.
 MT. Grosvenor offered a substitute to MT. Loud's amendment giving the Sec retary of the Navy the right to purchase the articles above referred to in free mar kets, should it be demonstrated that they could be had from manufacturers cheaper than they could be made at government navy yards. This substitute was adopted, S5 to 76
 As to the second proposition limiting the cost of transportation of coal to $5 or $6 per ton, the efforts put forth by MT. Fitzgerald of New York and MT. Slayden of Texas were of no avail, although votes were had on both amendments limiting the cost.
 After these propositions were disposed of the reading of the naval bill was con- tinued until the hour of adjourGment without exciting debate.
