will not make the extensions If its revenues

GROOM 1O1-BRlDE 100.

St. Louis-On August 26, next, John
B. Bundren, who on April l was 101
years of age, will be united in mar
Fiage to Miss Rose Mcclure, who is
almost 100 years Of age. The wed.
ding will take place on Mr.. Bundren's

descent, would not consent to the mar
riage, and finally returned to England
taking their daughter along. Bundren
went to California and acquired con
siderable wealth. He never married
From California he returned to Tennes
see and bought his birthplace, neal
Tatesville. He decided to hold re
union Of old friends on his estate this
year and sent out numerous invita-
tons. Not long ago he received let
tel from Miss Mcclure, who is still
unmarried. Correspondence followed
and he renewed his offer of marriage
and was accepted. The date of the
wedding and the reunion Of friends
has been set for August rs, on the
brides birthday anniversary, when she
will be 100 years old.
Bundren has long white hair and {
flowing white beard. He does no
smoke or drink liquor and apparently
is hale and hearty. In June he will
go to Preston, Worcestershire, Eng
land, to escort his intended bride tt
his Tennessee estate for the wed
ding.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of tie
old time household remedies.
In the early history OF this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit
tiers, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apoihecary or the FAM
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia. dissolved
in apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey. hops and Bit
ter banks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus COM
pounded, the formulate for which were
passed along from house to house,
sometimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
| some, old time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness OF one Of
these home made remedies, would take
it ur, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, OF Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men,
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it increased, and at last he es-
tablished mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli.
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERNUA and its value in
the treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in DR.
Hartman's judgment, and to rely or
his remedy, Peruna.

CHINESE IN DISTRESS.
Conditions Reported From Four Fam

Conditions Reported From Four Fam
inc Stricken Centers.
Shanghai, April 19.-The following
are extracts from reports just re-
ceived of conditions in four famine
centers:
Yaowan-The famine is growing
worse. Children in great numbers are
dying.
Suchien-Almost out of supplies
Need large amounts Immediately to
continue relief commenced.
Singkiangpu-Many dying. Must de-
crease relief work unless larger ship
ments of supplies are received.
Lukiawetz-The whole country Is in
the deepest distress. Refugees who
went south hoping to find relief are
returning empty handed. There ar,
professions of people with wheelbar-
rows, transporting their doors, tables,
beds and cupboards to market to be
sold for almost nothing. Hundreds OF
men and women are seen in the fields
scratching out roots and scanty blades
of grass. Hundreds of trees have been
stripped of their bark from the roots
to the tips Of the highest branches
for use as food. The majority of the
population are living on wild roots
etc., which is causing disease.
For Their Relief.
A contribution of $4,000 was re
ceived one day this week from the
| Christian Herald of New York by the
American National Red Cross to be
applied to the relief of the famine
sufferers in China. The amount, to
gether with $4,000 received by the Rec
Cross from contributors Throughout
the country, was cabled to China. Thi
remittance makes $22O,O00 in none!
that has been forwarded from this
country for Chinese famine relief.

AWFUL FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Nearly Twenty Million Persons Are
in Need of Food.

Writing from the Russian famine
district, DR.. Kennard, sent by the So
ciety of Friends to investigate condi
items, draws an appalling picture of the
suffering. He says:
"This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 10000, 600
people cannot live without aid to see
another harvest, and 1 may say that
this figure has not only been approved
by the zemstvo organization, but also
by the government itself. The date OF
the harvest will vary with the latitude

spread over such a wide area Give
times the size of France) that more

Vice President Corral in a communi-

of Guerrero has been devastated.
Thousands of dollars are being sub

the relief of the sufferers.

proportion from south to north the
harvest will be from June to % (new

Funds will be needed to the end
OF July to feed all these millions, and
then the harvest will bring relief;
but there are many hundreds of thou
sands to whom the harvest will not
bring relief, for they have neither
