AS l have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case Of catarrh of the head
AMI throat which suffered from for
number of years, am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,

was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that i was usually
troubled with headache, and although
tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief | was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much

find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."

SALOON MAN is ROBBED.
Masked Bandits Loot Till on Outskirts
of kenosha.

Kenosha.-James J. Seymour, keep.
er of a saloon on the southwest out
skirts of Kenosha, was the victim of a
most daring holdup by masked men,
Two men entered the saloon, present
ed revolvers, and demanded that Sey-
mour throw up his hands. Both of
the men were masked, and without
losing any time they went through
the pockets of Seymour and took all
the money in the cash register. This
is the third holdup of a similar nature
in Kenosha within a month, and all of
the crimes are thought to have been
committed by the same men. 1t is
claimed that there was third man at
the Seymour place, but he simply kept
guard to prevent interruption.

about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.

A CRAFT IN INK
IS alleged
A FORMER CHEMIST IN THE GOV
. EMINENT PRINTING BUREAU
ONE OF ACCUSED.
The President of the Victor Bloede
Company, Makers of Fine Inks is
Indicted for Fraudulent Practices
by Federal Grand Jury.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Allegation of
fraud and graft in supplying the bu-
reau of engraving and printing with
black dry color used in the manufac-
ture of ink resulted in the Indictment
by the federal grand jury here of Ed
win Vandyck, formerly chemist
and ink maker employed in the bu-
reau, and Victor Bloede president of
Of the Victor Bloede company, man
ufacturers of fine inks and colors.
Vandyck and Bloede are charged
in the indictments with conspiracy to
defraud the government, the allegation
being that they entered into an agree
ment by which Bloede was to pay
Vandyck percentage of the money
his company received from the COVER
ment for the black dry color furnished
to the bureau of engraving and print
ing.
Vandyck, it is alleged, in his posi-
ton as chemist and ink maker of the
bureau had to pass upon the samples
of the color submitted by various
manufacturers. It is charged that he
fraudulently favored the Baltimore
company and that as result of the
conspiracy he was paid by Bloede in
in the course of several years, be-
tween $40, 600 and $50, 900.
The Indictment purports to give de-
tails of the transaction between VAN
dyck and Bloede as to payments made
the former. It appears that Vandyck
received his commission in the form
of checks. These after being indoors
ed would be returned to the Bloede
company and Vandyck received in
lieu thereof New York drafts.
