Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should a 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-tricd catarrh rene
dies. Second, well-known and gcner-
ally acknowledged toni, 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 eflicacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require q tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has reputation Of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a 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.
1t 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.

DEATHS FROM HEAT.
Many Prostrations and Two Deaths

an attempted suicide and more than
a dozen prostrations were results OF
the intense heat that prevailed over
st. Louis yesterday. At o'clock yes

that brought cooling breezes and re.

Two of the fatalities were those OF

cool place TO rest, and the attempted
suicide was that of Miss Anna Dono'

creed by the heat and attired only
in night gown, rushed from her bed

SELF DELUSlON
Many People Deceived by Cofise.

We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits even though we may be
convinced of their actual harmful
ness.
A man can convince himself that
whisky is good for him on a cold morn
ing. or beer on a hot summer day
when he wants the whisky or beer.
It's the same with coffee. Thousands
of people suffer headaches and nerv-
BUSINESS year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause is not
coffee-because they like coffee.
"Whne yet a child ! commenced u.s.
ing coffee and continued it" writes a
Wis. man, until ! was a regular COT
fee fiend. l drank it every morning
and in consequence had binding
headache nearly every afternoon.
my folks thought it was coffee that
allied me, but liked it and would not
admit it was the cause Of my trouble,
so | stuck to coffee and the headaches
stuck to me.
Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made 1t right directions on
pkg and told me to see what differ
ence it would make with my head, and
during the first week on Postum my
old affection did not bother me once
From that day to this we have used
nothing but Postum in pace OF cot
fee headaches are thing of the past
and the whole family is in fine health,
Postum looks good, smells good

NO SURPLUS FUNDS THERE.

Two old Hebrew beggars were tray

quest of contributions toward their
joint capital.
Presently they passed handsome
residence, from which sweet sounds
of music issued. 1t was lke's turn and
hopefully he assembled the steps to the
front door, eagerly watched by Jake,
who expected quite handsome addi-
ton to their funds.
His CONSERVATION was great conse-
uuently when he beheld Ike returning
crestfallen and empty-handed
Anxiously running to meet him, he
said: well, key, how did you make

The West in the Lead.

The west as whole is far beyond
the east in its abatement of the smoke
nuisance. In st. Paul some four years
ago, the work was given over to the
department Of health, whose first act
was to lay the following question be-
fore the local and national unions Of
steam engineers and firemen: Can
the smoke nuisance as 1t exists today
be reasonably prevented without in
jury to trade and manufacturing inter-
ests?' This question was unanimous
ly answered in the affirmative by the
members of both unions. Notices were
taken in all dubious cases and fines
were imposed when necessary, mini
mum fine of $25 for the first offense.
doubled for each succeeding one. The
work has been most successful, and
besides an abatemement Of smoke,
saving Of fuel is reported In Milwau-
kee an ordinance which has gone
through periods of relaxation and
others of strict enforcement, has been
successful when properly managed,
continues Hollis Godfrey in the Allan
tic. About half the city at the time
of a recent report used smoke-con-
Stunning devices, about one-fourth used
hard coal or smokeless fuel. The gen

able. So admirable, indeed, that the
title of the ordinance passed by the

walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup OF Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best OF personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanscs,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

MIX Of Human Kindness.

There is a great deal of kindness
and consideration in the world, even
if the pessimists do try to prove the
contrary. Some days ago one of the
big transatlantic steamers sailed from
Hoboken leaving behind considera-
bic number of persons who had en-.
gagged steerage passage home and
could not be accommodated in the
rush for quarters. The Hartford Cou-
rant was inclined TO think it anything
but a square deal to sell tickets to
more passengers than the vessel could
provide quarters for, but learns that
the aliens whose passage was delayed
are being properly and comfortably
cared for The ship lines assume full
responsibility, and a society organized
for the purpose supplements the COM
panies' efforts in case of need. Cots
are put on boats which are at the
dock, and each of the "holdovers' gets
rs cents day to meet living ex-
penses while so detained. The Cou-
rant adds; "All this is no more than
we expected 1t is a general rule about
travel that the helpless persons find
many who are ready to help them;
child, properly labeled, can travel safe
ly around the world with a good deal
less labor than the experienced travel.

Campaign in West.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The republican
speaking campaign in the west will
not be opened until about September
il. That date was agreed on yester-
day at a conference with the leaders
with Chairman Hitchcock, of the re-
publican national committee. The
eastern speakers bureau cannot be eff
fected by Mr. Hitchcock until he
comes west again in about ten days.
Il has been expected that Senator
W. L. Borah, of Idaho, would assume
the direction of the bureau, but the
announcement made yesterday that
there had been stch demand for
him to speak in all parts of the coun
try that it had been decided that he
was too good an asset for speaking
purposes to admit Of his being tied
down to organization work.
Under the original plans Senator
Borah was TO have offices in Chica
go and undertake to block out the
western country into areas and shape
the speaking policies of each section
according to the issues therein, while
General Coleman Dupont of Delaware,
who has his office at the New York
headquarters, would look after the bu-
rcau. Senator Borah is to make sew
eral speeches in the campaign in the
western states, but has agreed to re
main hege for time and get the
speakers bureau organized for the
west He will be assisted in this
work by Colonel Cecil A. Lyon of Tex
as. A director for the work will be
named later.

WHY HE WAS ANXIOUS.
Albert's Particular Reason for inquiry
That Worried Nurse.

Albert was solemn-eyed, spiritual
looking child.
Nurse" he said one day, leaving his
blocks and laying his hand gently on
her knee, nurse, is this Gods day."
mo, DEAR" said his nurse, this is
not Sunday. 1t is Thursday
I'm SO sorry" he said, sadly, and
went back to his blocks.
The next day and the next, in his
serious manner he asked the same
question, and the nurse tearfully said
to the cook, THAT child is too good for
this world
On Sunday the question was repeat
ed, and the nurse with sob in her
voice, said, Eyes, Lambie. This Is
Gods day"
Then where is the funny paper?"
he demanded.-Snccess.

The OId-Time Bow.

The boy of to-day who complains of
anything should be made TO read the
rules and regulations laid down for
boys in old colonial days. He had TO
stand up at the table. He must go to
bed at candlelight. He must not sit
down in the presence of visitor. He
must not shout He must not run
without cause. He must not throw
stones at animals or birds. He must
not idle on the street, and if he had
been found trying to stand on his
head he would have gone to Jail for
week.

John Milton was born December 8,
1908, and preparations are already
going forward in England to make the
anniversary memorable As having
some bearing on the event, it may be
mentioned that at a sale of autographs
in London the other day the poets sig.
nature alone realized the extraordin-
AIRY price of sixteen hundred and ten
dollars. For Paradise Lost" the poet
himself received $40 in four install
ments.
