The OLDEST Man IN AMERICA
Escaped the 7errors Of
X Many Winters By i
- Using Pe-ru-na.

TN speaking of his good health and
Il extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"After man has lived in the world
as long as T have, he ought to haVe-l
found ont q great many things BY exc
perience. think T have done so.
"(lne of the things 4 have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the]
proper Thing for ailments ftiaf
are due directly to the effects OF
the climate. For III years have
Withstood the changeable climate
of the United States.
"I have always been very healthy
man, but, of course, subject to the af"'
fections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and tempera-
ture. During my long life I have known
great many remedies for coughs, colds,
and diarrhoea.
GAS for DIR: Hartman's remedYS'
Peruna, I Ihave found it to be tho
best, If not the only, reliable RENE
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this ~"medD
SIT exactly meets all m, .luire->
nents. It protects me from the evil es"
! Secss o. sudden changes; it keeps me In
good srpetite; it gives me strength; ID
keeps my blood in good circulation. I
have come to rely upon 1t almost en-.
tirely for tho many little things taI
which I need medicine.
"When epieemlu@ It ls grippe first
began to make tho. ppearance IN this
country was sufferer from thiS
disease.
81 had several Tong sieges with
the grip. Atfrst I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy Tor
this disease. When Eheard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, 4
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found 1t to be just the thing"
In later letter, Mr.. Brock writes: L.
"I am well and feeling as well as
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. II I could see
better could walk all over the farm,
and it would do me good. would not
be without Peruna."
Yours truly,
a1y~g @rN, !
When old age comes, 1t brings With
it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people. This
explains why Peruna has become SO
indispensable to many old people.

ISAAC BROCK, citizen Of McLen-
Il nan county, Texas, has lived for III
ears. For many years he resided at
Bosque Falls, eighteen miles west OF
Waco. but now lives with his son-in-
law at Valley Mills, Texas.
Some time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his
picture, holding in his hand o stick
cut from the grave Of General Andrew
Jackson. MI. Brock is dignified old
gentleman, showing few signs OF de-
crepitude. His family Bible Is still

to going to bed. as Is my custom, / wound up my
alarm clock and my watch. Some time afterward
| awoke, restless and quite unable TO go 10 sleep
again. / got UP. Drank some water, hung my head
gu, OF the window and was about 10 go back TO bed
again when ! noticed that the clock WIS not tick
ing as usual. / looked to see what the matter was
and found II had stopped al 2:20. Then ! went for
my watch to see what time II was. The watch
showed 1920 and had stopped at that hour.
That struck me as rather queer, and | consulted
another time marker j knew OF. II was In opera
ton and showed $40, ! set my watch ana clock
up to that hour, and they have been going all right
since. Las, night ! was calling on some friends
living a mile further uptown than my place. and
was telling them my story. They listened with
more than ordinary interest, 1t seemed TO me. and
when | had finished told me that q clock and a

OF the human interest in this real king
of horses, Sysonby, there is no doubt.
Mr.. WIGGIN doesn't like horses, perhaps,
or prefers an automobile. Even 30, he
ought to admit that Sysonby was, In
some sort, among horses what ALEX
AMBER the Great. JULIUS CESAR or
CHARLEMAGNE was among c%onquerors
and Kings. Such a monarch could not
die in huggermugger. His exploits
must be duly %chronicled. And we dare
say he benefited humanity as much as
the average sociologist benefits it.

BUSY United States.

Whatever the cause, be it the develop
ment Of natural resources, as some
argue, or the unrevised tariff, as others
maintain, or a combination Of both,
there is plenty of work for willing
hands in these United States: gangs
under sharp eyed bosses in the railroad
cuts, bending hoers c~ultivating truck
gardens, swarms of men on the public
works, drain diggers and house builders
uncountable in city and suburbs, and
a great host of breadwinners planting
and gathering the crops on more farms
than the ems bureau can keep track
of without working overtime.
From the prolific West zones the cry
that more laborers are needed in the har-
vest fields. Kansas alone wants 25, 900, and
complains that the railroads are monopo-
lizing the aliens with whom each incoming
ship is loaded. The wheat fields offer two
dollars a day, and the deficiency grows
and grows while the farmers wiring their
hands and swear. There are stories Of
carriages at the railroad stations to carry
off strangers who are looking for work.
All the comforts of home are promised
them IL they will come quick. The new
automobile is pressed into service, and
tempting bills of fare-fried chicken on
Sunday, ice cream for dessert and other
fxings-are presented to clinch the
bargain.
There must be housing and food for
all. though the exposers rave and the
investigators appall and the reformers
wall. With plenty to do and abundance
to eat and the stocking full of savings,
let those despair who will; the county
swings on in its orbit triumphant and
~contented. Even the muck rakers thrive
and the pessimists have rosy gills.

The Poughkeepsie Boat Race.

Reports from the training quarters OF
the college crews at Poughkeepsie are
as conflicting as they usually are at this
time before the regatta. Columbia is
rowing very fast, as she invariably does
every day before the races, while George
town Ia making her customary good
showing. Those who profess to know
just what is going on declare that Cor
nell has much the fastest lot of oarsmen
on the river. The brush between her
university and freshmen crews on Mon
day indicated that the former was slow
or the latter fast, but the well informed
have heard that the freshman rowers
are the swiftest that Cornell has brought
forward in several years.
While the race ought to go to the fast
est crew, it would be a pity if Cornell
won all three of the contests. She has
had her share of glory, while some of the
other colleges represented in the Pough-
keepsie regatta have had little or none.
New Workers would naturally like to see
Columbia carry off the honors, but those
who are entirely unprecedented would
undoubtedly rejoice if Wisconsin O
the university race.
The young men from the Western col
lege have come East again and again
under the greatest difficulties and have
rowed pluckily and we'll. They have
had all sorts Of hard luck and have given
their competitors some frights. II they
should win this year every one, except
possibly the beaten colleges, would be
pleased, and certainly every n would
applaud heartily those brave youngsters
from the West.
