Night Sweats & Couch.

E. W. Walton, Condr. s. P. Ry., rs
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex.
writes: During the summer and fall
of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
tomS, such as very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. I experimental with several So
called remedies before finally decided
to take thorough course of Peruna.
"Two of my friends had gone SO far as
to inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek a
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought had consumption and 1
was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some Peruna, I de-
cided to give it thorough test and ap-
piled myself assiduously to the task Of
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully as gooc
as it had ever been in my life.
81 have resorted to the use of PerunS
on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds"

some OF you may feel inclined to give

PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around the
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen of men
is the rootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, round, compact growth.
rolls about the leveI floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months Of
the year, tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of California's sand plat dur.
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in its springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
OF which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
1t small shoots, which in turn become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over a circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
in the territory they cover.

The remarks of Thomas N. Nc
of New Jersey for the vice presiden-
cy were as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the
convention:
''The republicans of New Jersey
extend greetings to this gathering of
the faithful and present with conf
dence for the deliberate consideration
of this convention candidate for the
great office of vice-president.
For our standard bearer we have
once again visited the marvellous
state of Ohio and selected the mighty
Taft. Where shall we go and whom
shall we choose as his fellow candi-
date to lead the marching hosts to
victory? Fellow Republicans. the
place to go is east OF the Allegh eny
mountains. True it may be that
westward the star of empire is TAX
ing its way but the time is not yet
ripe for our party to deviate from
established custom by ignoring, in
the choice of both its candidates, the
states that comprise the great eastern
Atlantic seaboard. To do this now
in the perilous times through which
we are passing would indeed be a
vital mistake. Let us, on the other
hand. complete the ticket by the
choice of vice-presidential candi-
date who will compliment his chief
so that. standing shoulder to shoul-
der, they will weld together all the
forces of Republicanism from what
ever locality or whatever shade of
opinion.
what then of our candidate? In
1862 at 16 years of age, he entered
the army where he served with credit
for three years and until the war was
over.
