THE BALLOON RACE
Airshlp unitedl States Travels Six
 Hundred Miles.

St. Louis, s,Oct.-Scattered through the state of Ohio. with one or two trailing in the vicinity of the Great Lakes, and another last heard from In Chatham, Ont, eight of the nine big balloons participating in the sec ond International Aeronautfc Cup race were still in the air Wednesday morning. The United States, of which Major Hersey of the United States Weather Bureau is pilot, landed about 12 miles south of Hamilton, Canada, at 6:15 Tuesday p. m, approximately 620 miles from St.. Louis. Throughout the day reports of the balloons at various points have been coming in. The identity of only four of the bal looms has been definitely established. Through telegrams dropped the bal loon America, one of the three Ameri- can contestants, containing Messrs. Mccoy and Chandler, reported their progress first from St. Marion and then from Marion, O. The last mes sage was to the effect that the Amer ica would descend on the borders of Lake Erie, probably in the vicinity of Cleveland.
 The German balloon Pommern, No. l in the race, passed over Cleveland late Tuesday afternoon, and Pilot Oscar Erbaloeh dropped note, say ing.
 Open water ahead of us. All we'll"
 The Pommern had been reported earlier in the day in the interior of Ohio.
 A note dropped during the morning at New Augustin, Ind, near Indian the balloon passing was the Lotus II, the only English entry. The French balloon L'Isle de France dropped note for the Associated Press at Col umbus, Ohio.
 Calendonia, Ont, Oct. 22.-The bal loon, the United States, of which Major Hersey of the United States Weather Bureau is pilot, landed about 12 miles south of Hamilton, Canada, at 6:15 D. m,, Tuesday. The United States crossed the state of Illinois, then across Lake Michigan and then eastward to the middle of Lake Erie, when a change of wind carried it north into Canada to the place of landing. The distance from St. Louis to Ham, ilton on an air line is approximately 620 miles. Therefore, the United States travelled a distance which is far ahead of the record made in the European races by Lieutenant Laham, whose balloon won the International Cup by sailing from Paris to a point in England, 402 miles distant.

WHAT.-IS PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrfl Remedy, or a
 Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a greaS tonic. Others refer to Peruna as 2 great catarrh remedy.
 Which of these people are righta Is it more proper to call Peruna ca. tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
 Our reply is, that Peruna is both . tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed there can be no efectual catarrh rem. edy that is not also tonic.
 In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mu- cous membranes affected by the ca- tarrh, but it must have general tonic action on the nervous system.
 Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is weakened con- dition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strength en the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces
 Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efi- cacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined 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 F0RMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body.
 From theoretical standpoint, there- fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use Of 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 well-grounded the- ory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.
