OF the scow in time to see Mrs. Mer-

oi a fireman from the tug pulled her
aboard He also stated that that the
tug carried all her lights and that the
crew took every possible prccaution
against such an accident.

 Miss Gilchrist followed in very in teresting talk which dealt not so much in g,nerslliti-s as iu actual figures. i'm pressiye of the importance oI the mat ter in hand and the heed of the moral and financial support of good men and women. She said that during the month Of January there had been ex- pended in relief tea times as much as m the January preceding by the local organization. She spoke compliment arilv Of individual charities but dcplor- d the fact that good people are so often imposed upon. reciting mum bcr uf incidaIts that have recently come under her observation.

 Colonel McClintock spoke briefly dealing largely with the question of the indigent sick. H. recalled many cases where they came here only to their tomb. almost always coming when too late to be benefited and when they Were a burden ol the community He said he had known Of few fortunate ones who came at the early approach Of diSeas. and were cured or greatly benefited but in the main especially among the poorer classes they recciv- ed no benefits and were burden on thc community. He believed the facts should be placed before the sick peo- ule of the east in their true light. that they might not come in numbers seek ing that which they could not find.
 It was the sentiment of all the speakers that tn. visit of Mir.

A WASTE OF TIME
 SAYS NR. HARTMAN
His Bitter Criticism of the Attitude of the President Toward Corporations.


 Washington March 2.-Mr. Harri- man. who was in Washington for few hours discussing the recent inves- tiSation by the interstate commerce commission in New York said: There was not a single new point brought out by the inquiry. Simply a rehash of matter which had been given wide publicity several years ago. This con- tinual reform agitation shows that ami mostly exists today against men and corporations that make a success. The interstate commerce commission could produce far better results if the mem hers would cooperate with the finan- cial interests of the country instead of antagonizing them.
 "In view of the unfair methods of the administration. as carried out by commission there is no incentive for a man to be successful. but l am sure that in the end the American spirit will prevail That is more 10 the purpose than the square deal We may have a square deal but unfair play There seems to be a tendency among unsuc- Cessful people to assail those who are successful" MT. Hartman quoted figures showing that nothing new was disclosed by the hearing.

Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept In
 Every Household
Where There Are Little
 Children.

Peruna should be kept in the house all the time. Don't wait until the child is sick, then send to drug store. But, have Peruna on hand-accept no sub stitute.
 Children are especially liable to acute catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections of childhood are catarrh.
 All forms of sore throat, quinsy, croup, hoarseness, larynGitis, etc, are but different phases of catarrh.
 Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
 One reason why Peruna has found per manent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna, if taken according to printed directions, is perfectly harmless. It can be uscG any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. It does not produce temporary results, but it is per manent in its effect.
 IL has no b2d effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re- moving the cause of catarrh.

The abused and OvertaXed stomach does not properly do the work Of digestion, food taken in ferments and the poison permeates the whole system.

 Did it ever occur to you how busy that stomach Of yours is? It only holds three pints. but in one year you force it to take in 9 400 pounds Of material, digest it and prepare it for assimilation into the blood. No wonder it rebels when overworkrd. We crowd it with steaks and pastry. irritate its juices with spices and acids. and expect the stomach to do it's work. II can't do it.
 All over the inner layer of the stom- ach are glands which secrete the juices necessary to digestion. The entrance of food into the stomach is the signal for these glands to do their work.
