-HERE is form of asthma very
 prevalent during the autumn
 months It sometimes comes on much like hay fever, but lasts until the first frost This form of asthma is likely not to trouble the patient except in the autumn months.
 tarrhal condition of the bronchial tubes and lungs.
 This catarrhal condition renders the bronchial tubes very susceptible to irri- tations Limitations of pollen, or dust of any sort, are almost sure to produce a spasmodic condition of the smaller bron- chial tubes which causes difficult breath ing exactly like asthma.
 A person with perfectly sound, healthy mucous membranes of the respiratory organs is not liable to such an attack. Only those people who have catarrhal irritation of the mucous membranes have any reason to fear this form of asthma.
 People subject to asthma in the fall should recognize the cause of their diff culty to be catarrh.
 Any remedy that will relieve the ca- tarrhal condition will often avert the paroxysm of asthma.
 Quite a number of individuals have taken Peruna for this condition, and have found by experience that Peruna does prevent the recurrence of asthma.
 We do not recommend Peruna as remedy for true asthma. Peruna re- lieves only those cases dependent upon oatarrh, as above described.
 Peruna is a remedy for one disease only, and that disease is catarrh. But. as Is well-known to the up-to-date phy- sician, catarrh is capable of producing

variety of Arrangements, and this ex- plains why 1t Is Peruna has come to be used for so many seemingly different ills.
 Any remedy that relieves catarrh will necessarily relieve all of the bodily de- engagements set up by catarrh.
 Asthma In Worst Form.
 Mrs. W. M. Harp, Ridge avenue, Troy, O., writes
 T am going to write to let you know what Peruna has done for me and also to let others know.
 "I was subject to asthma in it's worst form some four years ago. The least cold took would make me sick and I would cough and almost smother.
 My mother insisted that I should take Peruna, so took it with rock candy added.
 9When I began taking Peruna I was so run down I only weighed 12S pounds, but in one years time I gained flesh until I weighed 153 pounds.
 Now when I or any of my little ones need 8 tonic, we always take Peruna and it never fails to do all I wish 1t to.
 'I have often wanted to write you a word of praise for Peruna, but have never taken the time before I hope Dr. Hartman may prosper and live long, Peruna In Tablet Form.
 For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants have incessitantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets, which represent the solid medic inal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Pe- runa.

PURE FOOD LAW IS
 TO BE FULLY TESTED
INJUNCTION HEARING IS POST TONED IN ATLANTA OWING TO THE FACT THAT THE JUDGE IS BUSY WITH RATE CASES.

Atlanta, October 12.-(Special )--Attor- ney General Hart today In the United states court had the hearing for an in junction against Commissioner of Agricul- ture T. G. Hudson, in regard to the pure food law as prayed for by NJ. T. Say age, of the International Stock Food com pany postponed until a later date.
 Judge Hart has been so busily engaged in the rate cases. pending, that he has not had an opportunity to formulate the answer to be made by the state.
 The International Stock Food company of Minneapolis, Minn., through counsel, Napier. Wright x Cox, seeks to enjoin the commission from compelling this com pany to print the formula of this food under the Georgia pure food law, on each sack sold. The company claims that it is a stock medicine, although it is sold for a stock food and the formula by which it is compounded is of a great and secret value.
 The department claims that 1t is brand ed as a feed stuff, and as a feed stuff, must comply with the regulations for mulated in the pure food law. If it is sold as a medicine, the department has no objection to it being sold as such, provided it complies with the pure food and drugs act.
 It is held that there is no more reason why this feed stuff should be a medicine and sold as q feed stuff than that cotton seed meal, which is recognized as the best cattle feed on the market, should be sold as a medicine. Both come under the heads of feed stuffs, and are amenable to the pure food law.
 Such agitation in the courts is bound to prove a boon to the southern product cotton seed meal, whose formula Is known to all.

would today rank high among American poets

The origin of Yankee Doodle is shrouded in the mystery of a score of conflicting tales It is generally agreed, however, that the tune came from Eng land and the words were invented by the British soldiers to be sung in derision or the raw American troops who joined them at the camp on the Hudson below Albany in 1755. during the Frenoh and Indian war. Twenty years later the rebellious patriots played Yankee Doodle' at the Battle of Lexington and it became the first national song of the United States.

 Every day in the year an American flag floats over the grave in cemetery at Frederick, Maryland The flag is renewed every Memorial Day. In that grave rests the body of Francis Scott Key. Although his memory has been hon. ored in monuments of granite and sta- tues of bronze. what more fitting memor- ia than Old Glory forever waving over the last resting place of him who wrote "fhe Star Spangled Banner? What American school boy is not thrilled by the story of how Key was a prisoner on a British ship, how he saw the terrific bombardment of Fort McHenry, the only protection and hope of Baltimore? Of how in that darkest hour of the life of the young republic the dawn broke and Fort McHenry still defied the Brit ish and the star spangled banner still waved?
 Time has softened the bitterness of that day. The stanza In which Key so bitter ly exereated the British is rarely sung now. The Spanish war proved that "blood is thicker than water" The stanza inter polated by Oliver Wendell Holmes dur ing the Civil war is almost forgot in the reunion of the nation. But the song still lives, and whenever and wherever 1t is sung or played let every American rise and uncover in gratitude for that "fife. liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness" which is assured to him as long as: "' the star spangled banner in
 triumph shall wave
 Der the land of the free and the home
 of the brave"
