WAITING FOR THE FUN.
Youngster Had Reason to Expect
Something Would Happen"

An old gentleman. rather portly and
clad In a somewhat youthful suit of
light gray flannel, sat on a bench in
the park enjoying the day, relates the
Woman's Home Companion.
Whats the matter, sonny?" he
asked a small urchin who lay on the
grass just across the walk and stared
intently. why don't you go and
play?"
Don't wanter" the boy replied.
but it is not natural" the old gen.
tleman insisted, "for boy to be so
quiet. Why don't you run about?"
"Oh, I'm just waitin'," the little fell
low answered. I'm Just awaitin' till
you get up. A man painted that
bench about fifteen minutes ago."

Is Pc-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients ofPe.
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthem was ofln-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed of the most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
OF Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
but notleast, bringsto the home the vast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
intheuse ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic eatarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be Of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling oft.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

Laundry work az home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

How may l strive to win the prize?

Thirty-Ezye Bodies Recovered by Mid

Still I'm the Wrecked Mine.

Not since the disastrous Virginia
City mine explosion eight miles north
of Yolando. Ala. two years ago has
there occurred such a disastrous ex-
plosion as that which took place in
Mine No. 1 OF the Yoiande Coal and
Coke company at 1925 o'clock Mon
day morning. 1t was impossible at
midnight to tell how many were dead
as result OF the explosion, the esti-
mates varying all the way from forty
to sixty.
The work of rescue was extremely
slow because of the debris i'm the
mines. The explosion is now known to
have occurred in either the fifth or
sixth right entrance. All of the bod
les have been recovered from these
sections, and some of them was so
horribly mutilated that Identification
is almost impossible.
At midnight thirty-fye bodies had
been taken from the mines, and the
rescuers believe that between thirty
five and forty are in the lower en-
frances,
The bodies of twelve white and
seven cmored men have been identi-
fled.
According to Superintendent r. c.
Huckabee the explosion was undoubt-
eddy due to WINDY shots" Mr. Huck-

SLAUGHTERED BY ROBBERS.
Kansas City Grocer and Wife Hacked
with Meat Cleaver.

Louis r. Sternberg, a grocer at
Fourth street and Walker avenue.
Kansas City, Kan, was killed, and his
wife, Mrs. Matte Sternberg, was in
1urde by unknown robbers, who at
tackled and robbed them in their store
saturday night. The victims of the
outrage were not found until twelve
hours later. An open can of sardines
on counter, long iron bolt and a
bloody meat cleaver near the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sternberg supply the
evidence of how the crime was COM
mitted. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers asked for the sardines and as the
grocer placed the open box before
them they struck him down with the
iron bolt and then beat his head into
pulp. The robbers then entered the
living apartments back of the store
and attacked Mrs. Sternberg with the
meat cleaver. They split open her
head and knocked out one of her ewes
besides infiicting several brutal
wounds on her body. She did not live
through the night. Sternberg, who was
~ years old, recently took $500 from
q bank, and 1t is believed the robbers
thought the money was boarded in
the store. They secured about SITS.

BODY SENT TO ONTARIO.
Further Investigation Promised {
Death of Mrs. Brown.


The body of Mrs. Gertrude Nichol-
son Brown, the divorce colonist who
died several days ago at Sioux Falls
under circumstances which necessitat-
ed an investigation by coroner's jury,
left in charge of Coroner L. d. Miller,
who will accompany it TO Hamilton,
Ont, for interment. Relatives Of the
dead woman reside in that city
The dead woman had but s25 at
the time of her death, and this will go
but little way toward paying for
the embalming of her body, the cost
OF the casket and other expenses in
connection with her death. These
bills will doubtless be paid by her rela.
tives in Ontario.
On petition Of c. III. Bartlett, who
was the attorney for Mrs. Brown in
her pending divorce suit, Judge Bal
ley, Of the county court, has appoint
ed J. A. Gross special administrator
Of the estate of the dead woman Mr..
Gross was a member of the coroner's
jury which investigated the case, and
II Is said he is not entirely satisfied
with the result OF the inquest, and

come of theproperty OF the dead wom-
an, which has so mysteriously disap-
peared.

NEW MINERAL BELT.
Important Mining Enterprise Under
Way at Mystic.


The Mariposa Gold Mining and
Milling company, operating on Slate
creek, near Mystic, has after three
years of drifting, encountered and
opened up their main ledge the past
week. This is one of the most iTGpor-
tant strikes made in the Black Hills
as 1t opens up a new mineral belt.
This company in 1904 opened up some
rich assure veins on their property
and sunk several shafts along the
strike of the vein and uncovered and
developed some of the richest gold ore
that this region has ever produced,
but water came in in such large guam
titles that development work was
much retarded and it was deemed ex-
pedient to go down on Slate creek
and crosscut the country until the
main ore veins were reached. This has
been done, and tunnel 900 feet deep
now pierces the mountains and has
crosscut and opened up seven different
gold-bearing lodges, and the main
assure has now been uncovered. Steps
are being taken to install proper re-
duction works and the Mariposa Gold
Mining and Milling company will soon
be among the bullion producers of the
Black Hills.

BAD AIR WORSE THAN BAD FOOD
Former Kills Thousand Persons to
One Victim of Latter.

Foul air from improper VEN
tilation is the breath OF death
in any great city. While poor food is
causing one death, improper ventila-
ton is reaping a harvest Of 1000
lives. Nor is this ratio confined to the
Sums"
In these words Commissioner of
Health w. A. Evans, in speech at the
Fort Dearborn club, in Chicago, ex-
pressed his belief that the atmosphere
or many houses is charged with a more
deadly poison than impure food.
In strict figures, consumption and
pneumonia have the greatest death
rates in GU city. In almost every case
of these diseases, the primary cause
is the breathing Of foul air." he said.
In speaking of food DR.. Evans de-
clared America is affected with an ep-
idemic of "overfeeding." Overnutri-
ton is doing far more harm than not
having enough to eat
