II cannot too highly recommend
your preparation for the relief of
catarrhal troubles in their various

excellence"
Mr.. Fred L. Hebard, for nine years
a leading photographer of Kansas
City, Mo-, located at the northeast
corner of 18th and Grand AYES,
cheerfully gives the following testi-
mony: 1T is proven fact that Pc
runa will cure catarrh and la grippe,
and as tonic it has no equal. Drug
gists have tried to make me take
something else Just as good but Pc
runa is good enough for me-"
Pe-ru-na in Tablet Form.
For two years DR.. Hartman and
his assistants have necessarily la
bored to create Peruna in tablet form,
and their strenuous labors have just
been crowned with success. People
who object to liquid medicines can
now secure Peruna tablets, which rep
resent the solid medicinal ingredients
of Perupa.

Riots occur daily in all the larger

Nearly a Million in Pauper Class.
The board of trade has estimated
England's pauper class at 928,671.
This is one pauper for every thirty
eight of the population of the entire
country. The percentage of paupers
in London is even larger, being one in
31.3, or more than 3 per cent.
The board of trade statistics do not
include the hundreds of thousands
who are usually employed but who
have had little or no work in the last
year and are now almost on the verge
of starvation. These people are not
considered paupers, as they have not
yet appealed for aid.

HOW TO KILL DANDELIoNs.
Spray Of Iron Su1phate Said to BE
Fatal to Weeds.

Spray of Iron Sulphate Said to BE
Fatal to Weeds.
The North Dakota station has been
experimenting in methods Of destroying
the dandeliOn in lawns, says the De-
troit News Tribune. AS result Of
these experiments it Is stated that this
pest may be eradicated in blue grass
lawns, in parks, in meadows and on
roadsides without injury to the grass
resulting from the use Of the chemical
employed in the work Of destruction.
In order to keep the dandelions out
1t is necessary to spray at intervals Of
one month or six weeks throughout. the
growing period of the year. For ordi-
nary lawn purposes the ideal spraying
apparatus Is the compressed air type Of
hand spraying machine. 1t is necessary
that sufficient pressure be maintained
by the pump to make forceful spray
Of q fine form. If the liquid is thrown
in large drops the grass will be more or
less injured, as the very young grass
roots beneath the soil have slight power
of resisting the action of the chemical.
The capacity Of the tank should be ap-
proximately three to four gallons and it
should be Of such neat construction
that one can readily carry it about.
Necessarily, If it Is properly air tight
it will be free from leaks and chances
to spill liquids.
The machine should be fitted with
about three feet Of compression hose
and a three-foot extension rod, allow
Ing one to readily swing the nozzle over
the lawn. The nozzle should be of such
a nature as to throw a rather wide,
faring funnel-shaped spray.
The most satisfactory substance for
general work upon dandelions and mis-
cellaneous roadside weeds Is iron sui
plate, used at the rate Of approximate
ly two pounds for each gallon Of water.
On lawns for dandelions alone where a
hand machine Is used the strength OF
one and one-third to one and one-half
pounds per gallon will be found to give
the desired results, though, If the dan
delions are large and coarse and the
grass hardy, two pounds for each gal
Ion of water will give the best results.
On lawns do not spray until two or
three days after cutting and do not
NOW the lawn until from two to three
days after spraying. Spray on
bright, sunshiny days. The lawn
should be prepared for spraying by
thorough watering preceding spraying.
Select any day when it Is not likely to
rain within the next day Or two, as
heavy rain Immediately following will
destroy the weed-killing power.

COUNTY OPTION IN INDIANA
Final Vote in Lower House Accompanied
by Widest Scenes

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 26.-Gover-
nor ]. Frank Hanly late today signed
the Cox county option bill, which
passed the house this morning by a
vote of IS to As. The measure passed
the senate several days ago.
Opposition to the measure has been
very pronounced by the liquor element.
The Cox county option bill provides
that upon 20 per cent of the voting
population signifying their desire,
special election shall be held to decide
whether the county shall have saloons
or not. If it is decided the county
shall be dry" no change can be made
for two years, after which time another
election can be held.
This was one of the measures for
which Governor Hanly called the extra
session of the legislature.
The call for the vote on the bill was
accompanied by the widest scenes.
The democrats who were opposing the
bills caused great demonstration,
until Representative Johnson arose to
exnlain his vote. Johnson voted Thurs
day for an indefinite postponement OF
the consideration of the question and
was counted on by the opponents OF
the measure.
His little daughter had entered the
chamber with him and stood beside
him on the floor.
81 have been against this Dill, ne
said. "but certain influence"
Here he laid his hand on the child s
head. and under the terrific pressure OF
the moment broke down and cried,
being unable to proceed. After a pause
he said:
81 can't vote, Mr.. Speaker!
The little girl put her arms around
his neck and whispered to him.
After a moment Johnson turned
again to the speaker and said:
Il vote aye!"
This action was followed by great
demonstration, resulting in six demo
Gratis voting with the republicans
causing the passage of the bill.

HOW sCHWAB "MADE aooD.n

Took an Interest in His Work and
Won Carnegie's Regard.
A Pittsburg man told me the other
day how Charles Schwab made good
with Andrew Carnegie, says a writer
in the New York Telegraph. There
have been plenty Of stories about the
steel king being charmed by Schwab's
winning smile, by his piano playing and
by several other things. But the real
thing that caused Mr.. Carnegie to cot
ton to the chubby-faced Pennsylvania
mountain boy was the fact that he was
working.
The first few months young Schwab
was employed by the Carnegie Steel
Company he was in the engineering de-
partment. A lot Of extra work was to
be done and the boys in that depart
ment were ordered to work overtime
doing 1t.
"How are they getting along?" In
CURED Mr.. Carnegie one day.
"Oh, they're all working, but the only
live one on the Job Is that young
Schwab."
Flows that?'
"Why, he takes an. interest in his
Job. He's there early and he stays late.
He's trying to learn something. He
never grumbles about the overtime and
lust SO he makes himself useful and
adds a little every day to what he
knew the day before he's satisfied. The
others are simply there because It's
Job and they need the money. He's
working for more than money. He's
trying to learn the business and get to
be something better than he is now"
Just that little remark was the maxi
ing of Mr.. Schwab. Carnegie was al
ways looking for men who were not
working for salaries, but for chance
to work into something better than
salaried job He sent for young Schwab,
looked him over and six months later
the youngster who was wanting to
learn something was chief engineer at
the Edgar Thomson plant, then general
superintendent, then superintendent OF
the armor-plate department. next presi-
dent of the company, next president OF
the steel trust, and so on.

ONE ROOM FLATS.
A Novelty from the West Destined
In Snvn SnnnA

~ NOVeAty from the WesS Designed
to Save Space.
The one-room fiat is q real estate
novelty from the West. This so-called
One-rOOm fat, by means Of specially
built furniture, makes its one room
serve for the purposes that usually
take several. Several Western cities
are provided with these apartment
houses, some of them sheltering as
many as twenty-eight families. Some
Of them are called residence hotels"
and offer tenants the choice Of taking
their meals in the public dining room
or using the domestic facilities at
tached to their own room.
OF course, the fat has in reality
more than one room. There is an en-
trance hall, bathroom and q narrow
apartment adjoining the main room,
which serves for the operation of the
furniture, which swings on a pivot
The plan Of these fats shows one large
room, with k.tchenette, a bathroom
and this curious room about three feet
deep, running parallel with the main
living room. One end of this serves
to supply the closet room, while the
other provides the space for the fur
niture to swing about in.
When the One-room fiat Is serving
as a drawing room, there is a small
center table visible, combination desk
and bookcase, and a sideboard which
stands in its place, whether the room
is to. be used as a sitting or dining
room. It is only at slumber time that
the sideboard turns around, and on
the other side Of the board partition
back Of it there swings into view
brass bed. This is folded up against
the board, but it is SO arranged that
the bedclothes attached to hooks in
the head of the bed are allowed to
swing free and are aired all day.
The library table, merely by swing
ing its edge around, doubles its size
and is capable Of seating four persons.
When bedtime is at hand the bookcase.
which stands next the sideboard, also
does its turn, and in its place there
appears q dressing table. OF course,
the same chairs must serve, and they
must be selected with appropriateness
for the varied uses Of the room.
The great merit claimed for these
One-roOm flats is the saving Of space,
the freedom from the greater cares
of housekeeping and the possibility Of
housing so many families in one build
ing. OF course, the patented furniture
made for them is the indispensable ele-
ment of the scheme, and without it
such dwelling places would not be pos
sible. So it Is naturally the company
that manufactures the furniture which
is putting up the houses, selling stock
in them and otherwise promoting them
as they would any other building
project. In not every case is the house
supplied with hotel dining room. In
some there are only the small kitch-
ems.
Few of the persons who live IL
these One-rOOm flats are fortunate
enough to possess servants, nor do they
feel the need Of them. 1t Is, of course.
necessary to put up the houses on sites
which allow light to every room, as
one-room fiat cannot depend for its
light and air on other rooms.

or A DETECTIVE

Mr.. VI. NJ Little, who is in charge
of the shoe department for c. Rhein-

clever detective Monday morning and
recovered stolen garments, the value
of which was $21.
Mary Young, a colored woman, was
in the store on a pretended shopping
expedition. She left the store by Tie
rear entrance, and Mr.. Little, think
ing that she was acting somewhat
queerly, Immediately suspected her Of
shop-lifting. He went out and accost-
ed her and boldly accused her of theft.
She denied the allegation somewhat
holly, and said he could search her,
but when he acted on her suggestion
and attempted to do so she resisted
his efforts most vigorously. In the
struggle, however, she dropped two
skirts, which had been concealed un-
der her dress, one being valued at s.
and the other at S12.
There being no policeman in sigh,
Mr.. Little called for assistance, AMI
Mr. J. d. Robinson, who works at the
foundry, volunteered as an aid, and
