CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO Me.

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
AVA St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
Gas I have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe last of catarrh of the head
ana throat which / suffered from for a
number of years, / am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as / suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breafh
was offensive, stomach bad. and my
head stopped up SO that 1 was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. | was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, 1 did buy a bottle, and be-
fore hat was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged L kept on until | was con-
pIefeLy cured in a months time, and I
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna

elers are kept in the Paris police sta
tons. 1t frequently occurs that for
eigners lose things which they are
unable to describe, because Of their
unfamiliarity with the French Ian
guage. The picture books contain rep
reservations of various articles, and
the inquirer has only to turn the
leaves and point out the illustrations
which resemble the property he lost.

Queen Victoria's letters, which have
recently been published, are an impor
tant contribution to the intimate his
tory of an age of English thought and
literature which bears her name. Her
letters to Tennyson, published some
years ago, have long since dispelled
the idea that she was only a symbol
and a name. The new volumes show
more abundantly that she vas a keen,
vigorous thinker about men and
events. II she had a genius for

Farmers in the Legislature.

Apropos of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union, it is quite in
terestlng to note hat the organization
will be well represented in the legisla-
ture, as it is understood that some fifty
odd members of the law-making body
are also members of the Farmers
Union. A casual study of the member
ship OF the house of representatives
shows that more than one-third belong
to the order, while there are a good
few in the senate, probably a half
dozen. This means that the eyes of the
members of hundreds of locals in the
organized counties will be kept on their
law-making brethren at the capital. and
that every published vote will be closely
scanned. Every loyal member of the
Union declares himself in favor of his
brother in the legislature voting, not
just ''for the good of the ORDER" but
for the good of the people of the State,
for which they claim the Farmers
Union stands. They claim, too, that if
radicalism and faddism should be de-
veloped during the session it will not
emanate from the Farmers Union
members who pride themselves on their
feeling of State pride and conservatism.
