Is Pe-rlI-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should list Of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be Obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs conn
posing Peruna are of two kinds. Firsu
standard aud well-tried eatarrh remd-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged TOMS remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years.
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most eficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and forsueh conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
OF Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
Inspection of the critics.

The Fruit Paekaae.

A great advance has been made in
preparing articles for shipment aud for
exhibition In attractive ways The old
slipshod methods have largely disap
peared, as anyone who uses eyes. ears
and memory can testify. There is
hardly an article, from the notion
counter of the department store to the
varied array Of a modern grocery, or
even in the stalls of a market which
is not arrayed in manner indicating
some desire to make a tempting ap-
peafance. Sill there is much TO learn.
The packing Of fruit and showing off
to good advantage is an art that
should be cultivated, and the matter is
considered Of such significance that
official notice is taken of IT, The Bos,
ton Herald says. There's nothing
that adds more to the attractiyeness
of a box or crate of fruit than liberal
dressing of green leaves of one kind
or another. Our consul at Frankfort
contributes some useful information on
this subject. telling OF the advantages
OF fern leaves for this purpose, not
only for the decoration, but for the
preservation of the fruit The fern
leaves, it seems, possess a preserva-
tive quality far beyond any other
green's, and they are extensively used
in The foreign markets, not only to
pack fruits, but vegetables and dairy
products as we'll More green deeora
tions would add much to the attrae-
deeness of our fruit markets and
fruit stands. and they would help TO

This is a source of agreeable summer
employment for college professors who
do not want to rust during the summer

light order and under pleasant condi-

THE Spider ard the Ely.

In the long warfare between the
spider and the fly, the latter has had
the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend The flies have been tolerated
even fed and nurtured while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth

and unrelenting war against it keeps
the spider population down, while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten of millions, almost
unchecked The spider is ugly and
his web is unsightly in the estima

no human creature. They feed on
flies, which are the foes of mankind,
and do mankind a service.-Philadel.

Suggestions that the United States

American countries and SO put an end
to the disorders constantly develop,

Pretty nearly every other plan appears
to have lsIled. Even when the little

fixing up an agreement all round to be
good there is no guarantee against one
or another breaking the contract with
out the slightest scruple The United
States naturally is much averse to
anything looking like interference

cooperation with Mexico would be an
