In the little city of Downs, Kan, a
trifle over 200 miles west of Kansas
City, at the junction of two railroads,
a woman sits at her desk in snug
little library building, and with the
use Of the rural telephone system
does reference work for the teachers
and pupils in the public schools in
country and in town for many miles
around.
"Tell me something about John
Hay" is the request of schoolboy
away out on the high prairie south of
the Solomon River. Il am writing
an essay and wish you to help me, .
comes the small voice Of girl in a
white school house twenty miles dis
tant.
Mrs. D. e. Allen-she is the
Downs librarian makes note OF
the request and hangs up the tele-
phone receiver. Then she searches
among the 100 volumes Of her Ii
;brary until she finds the information
desired, and in few minutes she
transmits it over the wires, strung
along country roads, to the pupil.

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained In Pe-yll-Fa

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an effec-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruna
Is In reality such q catarrh remedy?
Let us see what the United States Dis
pensatory says of the principal in
gradients of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
ThcA United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that It is large
iy employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rhdnftas (nasaa catarrh), atomic dys-
pepsaa (catarrh of the stouhach) J,
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
I'm diseased mucous membranes of the
pelvic organs. It is also recommended
for the treatment OF various forms Of
diseases peculiar to women.
Another Ingredient of Pcfuna, cory
dalfs formosa, is classed i'm the United

Cedron seeds is another Ingredient
OF Perrma, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked 10y the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found i'm
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says OF the action
OF cedron that it is used as q bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as
substitute for quinine.
Oil OF copaiba, another ingredient
OF Peruna, is classed by the United

liant and dfuretic. 1t acts on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as a

In Brussels Death Sentence is Never
Actually Carried Ont.


The tourists who. Drawing the dry
bling rain. visited the Grand Place at
lBrussels last week between IL and
IL In the forenoon must have wit
messed a curious sight, the meaning
of which they probably did not un-
derstand. This was the erection in
the middle of the place of tha tree of
Justice by the myrmidons OF the exc
cutioner. Brussels has still its exc
cutioner. and the SPOT on which the
machine was placed Is that marked
put for centuries as the place OF pub
lie execution. It was there that the
great leaders of the revolted mobiles,
the Counts Egmon and Horne, were
executed, and where all executions
took place until the removal of the
scaffold to the Port de HAL Capital
punishment is still legal in Belgium,
and sentence of death is not infre-
quently passed in this country, but
since his accession to the throne It
has been practically abolished by
King Leopold H., who uses the royal
prerogative Of mercy in every In

memory OF wish of his mother.
BY curious and, even for a muir
derer, harsh custom, although the
rulprit's life is spared in such cases,
the sentence is allowed to stand, the
criminals name is struck out of the
civil records as If he were dead, and
for the remainder of his life he is
kept in solitary confinement, secluded
from all the world, and soon abso-
lutely forgotten by all except his jail
ers. On the day such criminal

ment of the court ordering the eyecu-
ton on the scaffold for all the world
to read. The suggestion is that the
criminal has escaped, but that had he
been within reach Of the executioner's
arm he would assuredly have been
decapitated. When those who are
convicted of serious crimes really
succeed in escaping the same action
is carried out; the executioner posts
up a copy of their sentence on the
scaffold in such manner as that #
serves at once to draw ignominy on
them, and to act as an advertisement
that they are wanted by the police.
It happens frequently that criminals
are in fight at the moment sentence
is passed on them in this country, for
bail is nearly always allowed, and
naturally those who anticipate heavy
sentences make desperate efforts to
fly or hide. The sentence nailed up
