1t assumes that nobody has a right
to cridcise Mr.. TAFT on account Of
his choice of church With which to
worsip, but we think It Is decidedly
wrong when 1t denies the public the
right to take note of his religious con-
xictiohs and discuss them in an am
icable way. No fahr-minded person
should object to this.
Concerning Mr.. Taft's religious
views, the New York Evening Post
says:
"a point upon which Mr. Taft's
hackers apparently fear an attack will
be made, either openly or covertly, be-
fore the campaign is very old, con-
Germs the religious belief Of the Re-
utlican candidate. There Is already
considerable discussion of this mat
ter in some quarters, and tendency
is revealed to accept the conclusion
mat Mr.. Taft is an atheist. The state
ment issued from the White House on
the day that he was nominated, in
which it was declared that the candi-
do[e had always been Unitarian, APP
pears to be unsatisfactory 10 many

elaboration of his religious convlc-
tons from his own mouth"

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for CdtdTrh?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPe-
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhateyer school OF nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthem was Of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test ofmany
years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna iscomposed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent of Peruna has a reputation Gifts
ownin the cureofsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KN0WLEDGEOF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knOwl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors 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 ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried I
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied d.
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary fef
the handling of ii.
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.

THE HERALD's VOTING CON-
TEST,

Upon the eighth page OF The Herald
to-day appears an announcement OF a
new voting contest which The Herald

offered a set of more b6autdful, val
liable and useful presents. Their to-
tal value is $4,000, which is no
fictitious estimate, but what the arti-
Giles, combined, would sell for. They
are articles which any lady or gen.
tleman should be proud TO possess.
They are useful as well as ornnmen-
tai, and represent the highest and
hest value Of their kind.
1t behooves the ladies and GENTLE
men of Ohio county to get busy in
this matter at once. Usually the ones
who make the best start in any con-
test and keep on hustBng, come out
the winners. Get out among your
friends and solicit new subscriptions
for The Herald. II you know Of a
friend who is subscriber to The Her

their balloss for you in their next
payment. These are the votes that
count, as they come in punches Of
twenty, forty and so on.
The time is ripe and the race awaits
the entries.
Remember the presents are free for
only a little work and hustling on
your part, and they are certainly
worth striving for. They will consh-
