When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systematic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body--is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna lie just such a remedy. 1t
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part OF the
restorative process.
One Of the many hospitals which have
obstinate cases OF eatarrh is the Hospital

UNKNOWN ARMY" REPORTS
Men who Never Asked for Pensions
Are Now Getting Into

WASHINGTON, March 2s-"The uu-
known army has been the subject Of much
controversy in discussing the forces en-
gagged In the civil war" said Commissioner
Of Pensions Warner today I'm speailing OF

Cumber service bill became a law was there
q means for determining anything about It's
extent The unknown army has come 10
be so called largely because it's members
did not apply for pensions This they did
not DO on account Of the various reasons
Of delicacy, pride or Indifference. but most
of these causes have been removed by the
passage Of the service law and most OF the
'unknowns those who have never here
tofore asked for pensions are coming to
the front I think everybody will be sur
prised at the limited number there are Of
them. So far there have been about $4,000
applications under the new law. but Of
these only a little over ] per cont are In
the shape Of the original applications, or. in
other words, applications Of the hitherto
unknown possession claimants, Certainly
| the entire number will not exceed 5000"
Mr.. Warner is OF the opinion that the
1 great bulk Of applications on account Of
| the McCumber law have been received.
/ When the law first went into effect the
applications were received in enormous
quantities, as many as 10000 coming in one
day. The number has now fallen to about
1000 a day and is rapidly diminishing. The
! receipt of so many applications has occa-
| stoned a corresponding increase of labor
in the office, but by shifting the clerical
force to meet the special demands It has not
been found necessary to augment the lis
of employees
The records of the pension office show
that 1851 of the civil war pensioners dice
in February, but there are still 652,4SO o
them left on the pension rolls.

aEnCrS NOT blame.
OF all men, our farmers are most in
terested in the enactment and enforce.
ment OF pure food laws. Not that they
are particularly affected by food adul-
teration. for they take almost every
thing they eat right from the hand Of
nature. But they are concerned that
the stuff they produce shall reach the
city neighbor who uses it as fresh, pure
and wholesome as possible.
1t Is in way a reflection upon the
farmer that milk, butter, fruits and
other things which come from the
farms of the country are impure and
so calculated to work injury to the
life and health of the nation. So they
are doing all in their power to bring
about tht best legislation on this sub
ject. They also desire that the laws
already enacted shall be put into eff 1t
Therefore they welcome the sugges-
ton of DR.. Wiley, chief of the bureau
Of chemistry Of the department of agri-
culture at Washington, that the ma
tional government shall set the stand
ard for pure milk at 3.25 per cent OF
butter fat.
Our farmers are now producing milk
that averages very closely to 4 per cen..
Few Of them are satisfied with any
thing below that point. And they do
not like to be told, as they have been
many times, that the average for milk
sold in the markets of the country is
far below that standard. It is not
their fault that it is so, and they want
the crime, for it is little less than a
crime to thus debase the milk supply
Of the country, placed where it belongs,
and punishment inflicted accordingly
The same thing is true touching all
other farm products The farmers
want it just as good as nature gave
it to them when it reaches the table
of the man who uses it.

OLDEST OF LIVING TREES.
| One of the Sixty Species known to

Ono of the Sixty Species known to
BE 2,195 Years Old.
This DO tree (the ficus religiosa) is
probably the Oldest living thing in the
world Of which record has been kept
by man, and, with the possible excep-
ton of the sequoia, the oldest of living
trees, says the Century. It was brought
from India by the Princess Sangha-
militia, and was planted by King De-
wananpiya Tissa in 2SS B. C. 1t is
therefore 2195 years old. The preser-
walton of this tree has been an object
Of reverent solicitude to successive dy-
nasties and either through superstitious
reverence or because Of it's worthless
ness to a plunderer, 1t has been spared
amid all the havoc Of repeated inva-
sions. As recently as A. D. 1923 it
was endowed with lands by Kaja
Sinah, a Kandian chief
The DO trees age and identity are
matters Of absolutely faithful record
and when one recalls that in the rig
orous climate Of northern Germany, In
Hildesheim, there grows rose bush
which is 1000 years old, it does not
seem so remarkable that in the balmy
climate of Ceylon this tree should have
lived twice as long. It Is gnarled and
unsymmetrical, because many of its
branches have been cut off and sent
to distant temples. This DO tree is
a branch of the tree under which Gau-
tama Buddha sat when he attained
Nirvana and Buddhists say the pas
sion through which he passed COM
municated itself to the tree and caus-
ed all the leaves to tremble.
Each of the millions Of pilgrims
who have toiled along the sacred way
which leads to this shrine has hoped
tn hear away with him a leaf from
the sacred tree, and happy is he at
whose feet one falls.
The leaves hang on slender stem
and are easily stirred by the slightest
breeze. SO each petitioner is rewarded
for his pilgrimage by feeling that the
free responds to the fervor OF his soul;
hut few take home leaf. Many bring
offerings to the tree and on a number
of the lower leaves are sheets OF gold
nlaced there by jewelers. and other
wealthy worshipers.

Selecting Mich Cows.

That one cow can be made to do the
work OF two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection of
the best individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed

each cow In the herd. Dairymen In

1t is claimed that If one cow gives
as much as formerly did two, there

Hall has counteracted as best she
could this token Of the submission to
her country by wearing always half
concealed among her snowy curls a

Miss Hall has many priceless posses

old days. Among them is valuable
ring which was worn by a dearly be-
loved brother. Another ring in her
possession was bequeathed to her al
