|HAT. IS PE-RU-NA?
if a Catarrh Remedy, or 8 Tonic, or is it Both?

Rome people call Peruna a grea
 nic Others refer to Peruna as .
 tat catarrh remedy.
 Which of these people are right
 it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
 nh remedy than to call it a tonic9
 Our reply is, that Peruna is both .
 nic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed
 ere can be no effectual catarrh fem
 y that is not also tonic.
 In order to thoroughly relieve any Ase of catarrh, a remedy must not hly have a specific action on the mu. bus membranes affected by the ca. lrh, but it must have a general tonic ction on the nervous system.
 Catarrh, even in persons who arc therwise strong, is a weakened con. 6tion of some mucous membrane.
 here must be something to strength. n the circulation, to give tone to tho Arteries, and to raise the vital forces
 Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the vorld has attracted 90 much attention tom medical writers as HYDRASTIS rANADENSIS. The wonderful eff. eacy of this herb has been recognized naw years, and is growing in its hold |upoE the medical profession. When ioined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a |trio of medical agents is formed in Pc. |runa which constitutes a specific rem. |edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be Improved upon. This action, rein. forced by such renowned tonics as C0LLINs0NIA CANADENSIS. COR. YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all ita stages and locations in the body.
 From a theoretical standpoint, there- fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The usc If Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical ex. perience confirms a well-grounded the. 'ry the result Is a truth that cannot be lhaken.

BUILDING UP HOME TRADE.
Local Merchants Must Advertise to
Compete With Persistent Outsiders,


"a hundred years ago 1t was not
necessary to do any considerable
amount Of advertising, but this Is the
twentieth century, and conditions are
quite different" says an old advertis-
ing expert. Nowadays the merchant
who neglects to put his wares before
the public through the public prints Is
surely destined to 60 away back and
sit down, while his more up to date
competitors keep going toward the
front. Advertising is the life Of trade.
That statement has been made so often
that 1t is trite, but it is always true.
"Much is heard in these days about
the mail order concerns in the big cities
taking away the trade Of the mer-
chants in the smaller towns and cities.
1t Is an undeniable fact that the cata-
logue, with it's price list Of everything
under the sun. accompanied by numer-
GUS alluring cuts to represent the goods
offered, Is attracting millions Of dol
lars from the great Z ubllc pocket. This
money before the invention of the mail
order scheme went into the pockets OF
local merchants. The mail order peo-
pie also persstently advertise their
wares In the various little publications
which are known to the trade as mail
order journals Thus the town and
country people are kept constantly in
touch with possible bargains, having
only to send in an order by mail and
receive the goods, whether satsfac-
tory or not, by return mail.
"Some local merchants make great
to do about this sapping Of their SUBJ
stance but If they fail to take the
only obvious method Of self defense
there Is not much sympathy to be
wasted upon them. The only obvious
method Is to shoot the same kind OF
ammunition that Is shot by the compel
Ing houses in the big cities. This am
munition Is called advertising. Every
small town now has Its local weekly
newspaper, which practically every
body in the town and Its outlying ter
ritory reads regularly. Every good
sized town has its daily paper. These
are the guns which the local merchants
must load with the proper sort of am
uuulllOu IL lucy CAptSt w IShI SAAS
competition from the outside.
I'm many towns the merchants have
discovered this fact and are lombard
ing the enemy furiously. Reports Of
the battle usually show that the bonn
bardment Is effective. OF course a
mere scrap of ammunition, charge Of
bird shot, won't do much good, but
few cannon balls will show results.
Those who hold that advertising doesn't
pay do not know how to advertise.
They are bad marksmen. They don't
shoot straight or perhaps they use am
munition that Is too ancient. People
like to read advertisements that are up
to date and striking. Nobody Is going
to get ahead in these sharply competi-
tive days unless he keeps wide awake
and always has his gun cooked ready
to shoot when the game Is In sight"

Absinth Foretold.

A Paris paper publishes letter from
correspondent who in the cause Of
temperance cites a great authority-St.
John the Evangelist. 1t is claimed that
the inspired writer proclaims absinth
as terrible scourge and foretells it's
baneful powers in the eighth chapter Of
the book Of Revelation, where we read
In verses 10 and II: 1.-THE third angel
sounded trumpet and big star
bright as a lamp fell from the sky on
to the third part of the rivers and foun-
tains and water. This star is called
WormWool, and the third part of the

SOAP CLUBS AND so FORTH.
How Such Schemes Of Mail Order
Houses Decrease Business.

Houses Decrease Business.
A close student Of trade conditions
has just made the surprising statement
that "last year at least $25O00O,00O
that should have gone to the retail
merchants of the middle west was
sent away from home to these mail
order concerns
Whether mail order trading Is
fashion, a habit or fad is not under
discussion here, but it is fact and a
serious fact The writer already men
toned goes on to say:
This buying of catalogue houses
and through soap clubs Is fad that
has grown up IN the commercial gar
den like a rank weed. People have
been so busy about other things that
they simply have forgotten the obliga-
tons they are under to their fellow
neighbors and to themselves as COM
munity.'
The soap club, by the way, and
schemes of its sort do lot Of damage
In many communities. A woman or
girl sees in one of the cheap monthly
mail order publications an allurng Of
fer Of u prize In return for selling so
many boxes of soap or something else
for household use. Let us suppose 1t
Is soap. Everybody uses soap except
tramps. Soap appeals to the house
wife, and when her neighbor and
friend comes around and requests her
to subscribe to box of soap so that
the canvasser may win the prize of a
package of beautiful hatpins or a new
parlor rug almost any woman will take
the soap. 1t helps the neighbor along
you know.
But these good women fail to think
Of other neighbors. just as deserving.
who are not helped by this little trans
action, but. on the other hand, are him
dered. There Is the storekeeper In
town who sells soap. He sells soap
just as good, no doubt, as the mail or
der brand, and his small profit on the
sale helps him to succeed In business
and to continue patronizing his other
neighbors who are in business. Per-
haps he buys many things for his own
household use from the husbands Of
the very women who send the order
for the mail order soap.
The competition of the catalogue
house with the local retail stores, in
the opinion Of those who study the
situation, is doing more than any other
thing to sap the commercial strength
Of the country towns.

The new age., 1907-02-09

Early in October British soap manu-
facturers formed combination like
what we know in America as a trust.
Six weeks later the members of the
combination announced that "the work
ing arrangement entered into by the
leading soap makers of the United
Kingdom has been received with such
disfavor by the trade and the public
as to make 1t unavoidable, and it has
been decided to terminate the arrange
ment." Newspapers, tradesmen and
consumers had united to defeat the
combination. One need not approve
the methods of boycott resorted to by
the retailers, or the favors shown by
newspapers to independent" soap max
ers in the matter of advertising, which
contributed to make the allied firms
dissolve their agreement. But it may
be noted with satisfaction that the chief
power against the trust was the public,
and that the combination was undone
not by legal or political measures, or
by any ethical principle, but simply by
the fact that popular opposition made
it unavoidable" The people did not
like the combination, and they made
the manufacturers feel their strong dis
approval Of 1t. Wherever organized
and artificial evil shows itself and is
recognized in time. spontaneous oppo-
sition on the part of public opinion can
often, If not always, break 1t up. al
though politics, law and mere ethics
fail. Even where the consumer has not
the weapon of competition, as in the
case of railroad companies with unique
franchises, the people can force atten-
ton to their just demands If they will.
Cartoonists are still representing the
common people as sorry, wizened lit
tie man. In this Tcountry as in Eng
land, his arm and voice are mighty If
he but use them.

Accounting for the Pearl.

Three principal hypothesis have been
offered to account for the origin of
pearls. According to one they arise
from secretions caused by the pres
ence of some foreign object, such as a
grain of sand, within the shell of the
oyster. But it has been shown that
fine pearls are not thus produced
Another theory Is that pearls are the
result of disease in the oyster The
third hypothesis, sustained by M. Seu-
rat Of the Oceanographic museum of
Monaco, is that the origin Of pearls is
to be ascribed to the presence of a
parasite. The species of parasite diff
fers with the species of oyster, but this
mode of origin, NJ. Seurat believes, is
general with all fine pearls.
To restore the luster of a dead
pearl the outer tarnished envelope may
be removed with acids. Thus the eff
feet produced upon a tarnished pearl
by causing fowl to swallow it is ac.
counted for by the dissolvent action
Of the gastric juice.
