 Lebaudy has been in the limelight for years, and this is not his first trip to New York.
 His eccentricities have from time to time made Paris turn around and look, but his establishment of the Elm pire of Sahara, with himself as ruler. won him the greatest notoriety. He announced that he intended to trans form the desert into a fourishing kingdom.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
 for Catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, ls 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 tonio 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 Q tonic. Each one of the principal ingredients of Peruna has reputation of it's 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. 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-. scri be for them.
 No other household remedy so uni- versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full insnection of the cri tics.

Partly for the man who is likely to make
that statement and partly for the individual
whs would provide himself against the infrmi-
ties OF old age, great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party IN
sured may come into his endowment when It
is most needed.
The endowment policy is the one which Is
perhaps more popular among young men Of the
age than any which has yet been put upon the
market. This allows the payment of yearly
premium into the company's Golfers and at the
end of 10, 20, co. 40 or SO years the entire
amount for which the policy holder was in
sured is turned over to him or her. The rate
of insurance varies with the length of time.
The longer the period between the payment Of
the first premium and the final endowment the
less the rate, other things being equal.
Just recently insurance companies intro
duced another sort of proposition which is
Just the reverse of that OF insuring ones life.

New York department store, which, seeing a
boom in this article, "scooped" its contempor
aries by securing an early supply.
The merchants who secured the goods felt
rather skeptical themselves as to whether the
latest Partisan costume would hold the Gotham
womens attention. AS consequence a New
York broker was instructed to secure an in.
surance policy upon the sale of the gowns
in fact, to insure the popularity of the Co.'S
tune In America,
TO the surprise of the broker, merchants and
New Workers, the proposition was turned down
flat. Applications to other companies who
were wont to bet upon almost anything which
seemed good risk" also proved in vain and
the New York merchant went TO work by in
sorting advertisements in the newspapers,
through which method he hoped to overcome
the refusal OF insurance.
This was the first instance of its kind ever
recorded, experts declare. in which Lloyds
have turned down the proposition of issuing a
policy. It probably was caused by the airy
pcrsinage hurled by the male Americans who
gave the sheath gown the loud "haw-haw"
when it appeared.
No business In the history of the world has
spread out as the insurance game has. It en-
compasses everything. One insurance man.
who rates himself quite wag, asked another
whether Lloyds would insure an iceberg from
melting.
why. yes" the latter answered, eft you'd
tow 1t down to Picadilly lane, where it could
be watched by Lloyds."
However, the sort of insurance about which
the average American knows most is life in
surance and this industry alone has reached
such stage OF development that there Is lit
tie UNEMPLOYED territory for 1t to enter. There are
life insurance agents everywhere. Statistics
say that for every hundred men OF the big
cities there is one and sometimes two life in
surance agents So the reader can easily dis
Germ that there is plenty of opportunity to pro-
vide his or her family with financial protection

That is rather broad statement
There is just exception in the list or
things insurable. That is the directore gown.
But there are so many insurable things
that the French creation is hardly missed.
Here's few of the things on whose destruc-
ton or safety you may wager, at long odds,
with insurance companies:
Lives, homes births, deaths marriage, do.
nestle animals, livestock, barns, crops circuses,
the success Of business, vessels, any sort OF
conveyance, against injuries, beauty, suit OF
clothes, any wearing apparel jewery, false

productions. ideas of all kinds, airships bank
accounts, stocks, bonds, success in the forma-
ton OF social organizations elections of all
kinds, fluctuations of the stock market, race
courses, important messages, exploring expe-
dltions mining enterprises. rain, snow, heat,
cold eyesight, bodily strength, sanity, ETC.,
etc, etc.
could keep us that sizing of things in
surable all day long, for in Lloyds' great insur.
ance directory in England there are dozens
of gigantic ledgers which list the articles and
human beings upon which that company and
other concerns are wont to bet in relation to
their destruction or safety.
And out of these insurance propositions grow
n dozen side lines to each plan. For instance,
taking crops as an example: You can insure
your wheat, corn, oats, Dariey, max, peet sugar
butter. eggs or cheese against destruction by
fire, by cyclones. by excessive heat excessive
cold, by robbers or by accident The same
with your Ife You may provide yourself with
insurance against injury on trains; II you are
a sailor, against drowning; If you are a rail-
road fireman, against wrecks; il miner,
against being entombed and SO forth, until the
entire list has been exhausted.
But the sheath-directoire gown won't insure.
The why and wherefore of this is because
insurance cliques believe that this article of
wear is destined to become decidedly unpop-
ular IN the United States. In Paris this might
he given consideration but In America the
popuIace is given credit for large stock of
feminine modesty.
