What is P1mk1a.

Are we claiming too m1cn for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have We
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human. body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action Of cedron that
it is used rs a bitter tonic and in the
treatment of d~ysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as q substitute for
quinine.

Fallacies About Mars.

AS between Mars and Venus the
latter is probably better adapted to
life than the former, always suppos-
ing that other conditions than those
of temperature are fulfilled. 1t is
quite likely that a planet revolving
midway between the orbits of the
earth and Venus would be better
adapted than our earth is to the de-
yelopment of the higher forms of life.
On the whole, 1t seems from all the
data we can gather from science that
Mars is no better adapted to life than
the region around the north pole of
our earth or the tops of the highest
mountains. The conditions on Mars
seem to be u~nfavorable to any form
of life unless of the very lowest or

BIG CROWD, PERFECT PEACE
Placard in One Place Reads "Rah
For Governor Fort!"@Somcr's
Point and Other Nearby Re
sorts Equally DRY"


Atlantic City.-The city was abso-
lutely 'dry" on Sunday. 1t has not
been so on any Sunday for more than
two years, and. the situation pre-
scented is the sensation of the present
season. 1t was the one theme of the
Boardwalk comment, and many an
old stager found himself unconscious
ly wandering to a fayorite haunt only
to be confronted by an inhospitably
closed door. 1t is estimated that the
saloons lost $4,000 by the strict en-
forcement of the order to close. Gov
Forts threat to call the Legis-
lature and ask for power to put troops
here struck terror to all the resort
keepers.
In the full compliance with the
law, all window blinds in cafes and
saloons were up, SO any n could
gaze inside. There was not a suspi-
cion anywhere of a side or a back
door open for the hopelessly thirsty,
and high signs of any secret order
whatever simply did not go. 1t was
a case of "all hope for a drink aban-
don We who enter here"
A bulletin posted in Police Head
quarters read, with just the slightest
touch of humor:
Bulletin No. 4, 8 a. m.-Saloons
all closed. No troops in town"
Another bulletin officially signed
by the Chief of Police, was printed on
a card. 1t read:
s'Jp 1891 II uoc sbo1d tho fort >
To-day it's Fort holds you"
Il don't believe any town ever was
or ever will be more completely
the Sunday selling law is concerned"
said Chief of Police Woodruff.
Closings were as complete on At
lantic, Arctic and Baltic avenues here
as along the Boardwalk. Plain
clothes policemen who tried to buy
half-pint TASKS along Baltic avenue
were told there was nothing doing"
Many of the corner saloons on Arctic
avenue were conspicuously placarded
thus: This place is closed 'Rah for
Governor Fort!"
Some thought the closing up on the
last Sunday in August would keep
many persons away from the resort.
but they were mistaken. For, if any,
thing, the crowd which came to the
shore just to spend the day was unu-
ually large, thousands evidently hav-
ing decided to take a run down to see
how the place would take the closing
proposition. If these expected any
excitement, however, they were dis
appointed, for there vas no trouble
on any part of the island. The cafe
and bar proprietors had entered into
an agreement to comply rigidly with
the law, and comply they did with
the best of grace, beginning at mid
night precisely. The police used no
persuasive efforts, and all was as
~peaceably accomplished as If Sunday
closing were the most usual of mat
tiers at this place.
Hundreds of thirsty tourists, who,
falling to obtain the refreshment they
sought in beach cafes during the
morning, fastened to Somer's Point
by trolley with the assurance that
there would be no difficulty in getting
anything and everything a dry palate
might crave in the bay resort, four
teen miles from the city. they re-
turned in detection with the tidings
that Somer's Point was also dry

Young Turk Party in 1902, but who

infamous palace rule involving him
in dangers of all kinds.

he said, "by secret means I was de-
ported without trial or warning, and
while imprisoned the systematic
precautions did not cease.
"It is the fashion to say that the
sovereign is ignorant of the fearful
crimes committed in his name, but
His Majesty must have sheaves of re-
mysteries of the camarilla for years
past. Every Ottoman functionary
vas compelled, whether he liked 1t
or not, to be an accomplice to a great
er Dr. lesser degree in the wholesale
robbery which has made Turkey a
byword. Comparatively honest men
were drawn into the meshes, and
once there it was impossible to resist
rowing in the same boat. To refuse
meant to become the object of perse-
cution and to pay dearly for ones
temerity in the end.
II ask you whetherthe mere grant
ing of a Constitution at the swords
point is sufficient to blot out the
memory of the sufferings of thou
sands like myself, who have under
gone far worse physical and mental
tortures than I have. If the Sultan
~henceforth sets his face against the
abuses he formerly fathered he has
nothing to fear, but he must be
warned that the slightest symptom of
tampering with the nations rights
and liberties will be the signal for
his downfall. That he has for SO
long a time been unmolested is large
ly the fault of one or two European
Powers, whose interest lay in main
tanning Turkeys weakness as a pow
er. We now look chiefly to Great
Britain and France to foster our lib
critics."
