CONSUMPTION
WAS FEARED.


"a woman recommended Peruna to
me two years ago. 1 began to take
Peruna and now l am perfectly free
from cough.

me entirely. l take Peruna OCCASION
ally when do not feel well and also
give it to my children.
"Peruna is the best medicine for
coughs and colds. 1 have told many
people how much Peruna has helped
me-"
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de-
creases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh
ing sleep.
But the value Of Peruna in the treat
ment of q case Of consumption is not SO
great as it is in the prevention Of con-
sumption.
Since 1t is well known that consump-
ton begins with a common cold or ca
tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as preventive Of consumption.
Thousands Of cases OF incipient con-
sumption, or chronic coughs, or settled
colds, have reported Peruna as being .

Chicago packing combination and will

Munsey on Sunday Papers.
Frank A. Munsey, the publisher, in
Paris interview discusses the competi-
ton between the magazines and Sun
day newspapers In the United States
and predicts that the price Of the latter
will be raised to 10 cents in the near
future. He says that the Sunday news
paper will be made so good that 1t will
sell at 10 cents instead Of 5 cents. Up
to the present he says the magazines
have not suffered q setback In circula-
ton and proves the statement by say
ing that the combined circulation OF
magazines Is still on the increase, hav-
ing gone from 100000 regular magazine
buyers In the United States and Can
ada dozen years ago to 100000 reg
ular buyers In those countries today.
PIatt Replies to Critics.
Senator Plat as president of the
United States Express company in a
circular to stockholders shows that the
earnings and income for the first half
of the present year have fallen Off
compared with the first half of the pre-
ceding year. The net income from all
sources for 1907 he estimates at per
cent. This statement is regarded as an
answer to the demands of minority
stockholders for a division of surplus
and their charge that the Platt family
and their associates have juggled the
books to hide the profits from owners
of stock. The minority faction alleges
that rival companies have been repre-
sented on the board and that business
has been diverted to competitors. A
formal demand has been made for re-
form In the management OF the com
pany.

Foraker Answers Taft.
Before the Georgetown co. Chautau-
qua Senator Foraker discussed Secre-
tary Taft's Columbus address and
wanted to know why Taft had ignored
all the questions as to the unconstitu-
tionality Of the rate bill. He denied
that all the big railroads opposed the
law. He thought Taft not sufficiently
luminous on the question Of tariff re-
vision or on the negro suffrage issue.
Standard Oil Protests.
The directors of the Standard Oil

where the verdict was obtained upon

exclusion of evidence which would

New Light Aids OcuIists.
The Academy of Science at Paris re-
ports that Dr. Forth has discovered
that the light from a mercury vapor
lamp passing through two sheets Of
blue glass and reflected into the eye by
large lens reveals the internal condi-
ton Of the eye infinitely better than the
ordinary white light. BY placing a
screen with a einhole between the
light and the eye a magniied image
of the vessels at the back Of the retina
has been obtained, whereas heretofore
they have been almost invisible. The
capillary veins, with a diameter Of
2-1OOO of a millimeter, are seen to dis
tend with each heart beat, and 1t Is
possible to count the blood corpuscles.

IS WILMINGTON CONTENT (?
To Float Its Boats Alone on christiana
creek7

In The Evening Journal Of Wednes-
day appeared very interesting news
item relative to the establishment OF
O new steamship line between wiz
mington and New York. which prompts
me ito congratulate the city on account
of this very important project, and
The Journal as well for the enterprise
displayed in writing up the subject so
fully and well.
To some Of us Wilmingtonians who
have, for years believed that the natp-
raj advantages and peculiar possibiii-
ties Of this city have not been quite
fully appreciated by our citizens gener-
ally, this proposed enterprise of a line
OF steamships connecting this place di-
recly with the greatest port In the
world comes with a message Of hope
This new enterprise IS but one of the
many things that may be done by pro-
gressive men that will result IN great
benefit to the city. And while we know
that the gentlemen who have inau-
gurated this new transportation line
are not octuated alone by civic pride
and local prosperity, yet they land all
others who organize new industries)
are not only entitled to the thanks
and applause Of our people, but they
have a right 20 expect something IN
the way Of individual cooperation and
municipal reciprocity.
This brings up the question; Can this
city much longer resist what appears
to be the reasonable demands OF mod p
ern enterprise-simply tapping the
/ great live line OF commerce which full
OF present power and future posslbili-
! ties, passes our very doors, within easy
reach? OF course refer to the Oft
discussed subject Of so improving the
Delaware river front that This city
may enjoy some Of the deep water
commerce Of the world. and not be
content to rest comfortably upon her
beautiful terraces, watching the toy
ships floating in and out OF the Chris
tiana, and the great vessels from dis
tant ports steaming past to stop at
] the wharves Of the neiEhborlng cities,
/ Chester and New Castle.
have not made a study OF the con-
ditions that confront this proposition,
therefore am not prepared to discuss
its scientific and financial features. But
\ considered from a geographical, indus
trial and economic viewpoint IL does
appear that this thing should be done.
And surely a way would have been
found to do It long ago II this were a
Western city.
How can 1t be done? That is a
problem to be worked out by the City
Fathers. OF course 1t is only a matter
Of money. If the cast were available
almost every person would say let thf
work go on. But It is not possible foi
the city to acquire the river flats anc

The new Home for Aged People. now
in course Of construction at Fourth and
Grant avenue for the Little sisters Of
the Poor Is under roof and the Inter-
Tor work will be hurried toward as
quickly as possible as tho sisters are
anxious to have it ready for occupancy
by spring. The home is much larger
than the building now in use, and win
afford much more room Tor the inmates.
The number of old people putting thcm-
selves in the care Of the sisters is con-
stantly increasing and they viii have
TO move from their present quarters
in a short time to give accommoda-
tlons to all who apply for homes
What win be done with the old build
ing has not been decided. but It has
been reported It will be demolished and
in time another building similar to the
new one win be erected when the num-
Der OF old people is large enough to
justify this undertaking.
The now Homeopathic Hospital IS
nearing completion, and It also will be
ready for occupancy before long The
building viii be used exclusively for
a private ward department. This VIII
take all the private wards from the
building now IN suse and viii thereby
afford the management much NOR
room for the care OF the patients com-
ing in who are not able 20 pay for a
private room and have to be placed
in the general wards.
While no new work Of any conse-
quence has been started within the city
lately because of the weather. the
building Of the many large structures
i'm course OF erection about the city IS
progressing rapidly. Several big
structures Of various kinds are being
put up and by the first OF the warm
weather it is expected they win all be
completed and ready for occupancy.
