Is Pe-ru-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 COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged toni3 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 efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure Of some phase of catarrh or
Is tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is 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.
It 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.

GOOD Jokes
WHEN THINKING OF MARRIAGE.

Learn whether she is selfish. You
IAN tell this in three ways-by the
manner in which she listens to what
you say, by the way she accepts what
you do for her, and by the difference
between the way she treats you and
the way she treats others.
Is she tickle? II she talks about
light things she isn't. Deep, she is.
Is she extravagant? Study the way
in which she protests against your
spending money on her and always ar
ranges matters so that you can't help
but do it.
Is she a bad housekeeper? Watch
the way she dresses. If she is spic and
span she isn't. If she isn't then
she is.
THE SOLUTION.
When you have satisfied your mind
that she is all of these things marry
her at once, If you can get her, for the
following reasons:
First, because il she really loves you
she will change
Second, because If you love her it
will be so much more interesting.
Third. because you are probably
mistaken about her, anyway.-Judge.

been disordered by i'll health, she was
in a state, mentally and physically,
to yield to such an impulse under the
slightest degree of eXcitment. After
the draught was taken and she came
to realization of her act. she was
anxious to be relieved, and is said to
have suggested antidotes for the dead

RATTLESNAKE
ON MAIN STREET,
Big Rattle is Killed at 0xnard
Hotel.
WAS ON THE STONE STEPS.

A Rattlesnake With Five RattIes and
Button, and About Two Feet
Long, Was Killed in Front of the
Oxnard Hotel on Norfolk Avenue.
Does it necessarily follow that just
because civilization is moving more
and more closely upon the reserva-
ton of the Rosebud Sioux, that the
reservation must back up and over
flow into civilization? Indeed that's
the sign of the times, if rattlesnakes
in Norfolk may be taken to mean any
thing.
A real live old-fashioned rattle
snake, with five rattles and a button
on his tail, was found and killed on
a stone step leading into the OXnard
hotel, on Norfolk avenue, yesterday
afternoon.
Where the rattler came from, no.
body has ventured to guess. Stunning
himself complacently, he lay peace
fully on the stairway when discovered
by Homer Killian, bell boy at the
hotel.
Everybody about the hotel took a
hand in killing the prairiegrey SER
pent. 1t was about two feet long.
1t is said that the hot weather of
the past two weeks has brought out
rattlesnakes all over the middle west
in numbers not often remarked.
