Mr.. William f. Vahlberg. Oklahema
City, Okla, writes:
"One bottle of Peruna which l have
taken did more toward relieving me OF
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
Il had given up hopes of relief, ana
only tried Pepuna as last resort.
II shall continue using it, as | feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and per-
manenf cure.
II most cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as last resort
Doctors have been tried and failed. Other
remedies have been used Sanitariums
have been visited. Travel has been re
sorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is found.
This history is repeated over and over
again, every day in the year. 1t is such
results as this that gives Peruna its un-
assaiable hold upon the people. We
could say nothing that would add force
to such testimonials as the above. That
people who have had catarrh and have
tried every other remedy available, find
relief in Peruna, constitutes the best ar
gument that could be made.

cRANsERRIEs IN EUROPE.
History OF One Of the Best of Fruits
Grown ia Wisconsin.

In 1902 after the cranberries were
all disposed Of | left Wood county,
Wis, for my childhood home in Swift
zerland where I remained about five
months. In Switzerland they have
every variety of fruit except cram
berries. 1t was surprising to me to
find the people so ignorant of this de-
licious fruit, as there are thousands of
Americans visiting European coun-
tries. 1t would seem that they would
call for this delicious fruit at hotels
and restaurants there, but they must
forget about them or now that they
cannot get them there.
! Not only the European people are
ignorant of our beautiful cranberry
but there are thousands of Americans
that are just as ignorant of this fruit
especially in the southern states.
1t must be admitted by all people
who know how to use cranberries
that they are the most healthful fruit
on earth. l have travelled a great
deal in this country and very seldom
nave gotten a good dish of cranberry
sauce or pie, and this is evidence
enough that the majority of the Amer
lean people do not know how Gran
berries should be cooked. On my
trip to Europe | took with me some
of our best berries to show the people
there what cranberries were In the
raw state this fruit was of no use to
| them, but after they were properly
cooked and they had tasted the beau
tifui sauce, they showed their high ap-
probation of it. so have come to the
conclusion that when properly cooked
everybody here as well as In Europe
would eat this fine fruit

Golden the service was; golden the

From which flew up. and laughed, a

Was liquid gold. Screaming. he woke

DUE TO NARCOTICS
Liquor and Morphine Cause Death of Resident at New

 The hospital ambulance was sum moned and Crockett was taken to the New Haven hospital where he died al six o'clock. Medical Examiner Charles J. Bartlett decided that death was due to alcoholism and kidney trouble. The morphine had been used by Crockett periodically in the past and was not the direct cause of his death. He was fifty-eieht years old.
 Crockett had been living at the ho- tel since January II and was an eb- ployee at Peck Bros. For the past two weeks he had been drinking heavily, and came in under the influence of liquor about II o'clock Saturday night, His relatives in Montowese have been informed of his death

opponents whose partisanship renders them especially unscruplous and un-
 truthful. Mir Wanmaker's appoint ment was recommended by the three congressman from New York county and by the two senators, the appoint ment being made precisely as the hum
 dreds of similar appointments of post
 masters, appraisers, internal revenue and the like, which are confirmed by the senate, are made. and in conform
 ance with the custom which has ob-
 tained throughout my term of service
 and throughout the terms of service
 of MT. Mckinley, MT. Cleveland and
 my other predecessors. In this par
 ticular case as it Happens, MT Wan
 maker is peculiarly fit for the posi-
 ton, being already an assistant ap-
 pralser who has rendered good ser
 vice in that place, and his appoint
 ment is the promotion of proper
 man; he was appointed assistant ap
 praiser by President Mckinley twelve
 years ago, has served as acting ap
 praiser several times and has a very
 good record. The refusal to reap-
 point a good Hughes man as collector
 of customs at Plattsburg refers to the
 case of Mir. Walter Witherbee, and
 the accusation in this case is particu- larly comic. because Mir. Witherbec
 was an open and avowed Taft man, the classmate of Secretary Taft's brother at Yale, and both Secretary
 Taft and his brother requested his re- superintendent only New York of ficeholder for whom they made such
 a request The congressman from his district and the senators have not
 agreed about his successor and he is still in office These facts were either known to the editors of the paper in
 question or could have been found out
 by the slightest inquiry. There re-
 mains the allegations as to the ap- pointment of Taft workers" to post offices in Ohio.
 1 In Ohio I have made fifty eight post office appointments; twenty-seven of l these were re-appointments, thirty-one
 were new appointments, the last in- l cluding the cases where the incumbent i lloRh hiNhb lleiu lJCtll ltllH'Ntu TUT tduSt,

 of the congressman from the district. 1 n various cases, however as at Mau- mee, Strasburg, Bluffton, Greenville and Leipsic the nominations were made upon the recommendation of both Sen ] ators Foraker and Dick, or of one or l the other.
