 Sisters of the Good sheaherd. < When catarrh once fastsns itself up- on the system it becomes an obstinate disease to eradicate.
 A systemic remedy---one that reaches every internal organ of the body--is an absolute necessity.
 peruna :s just such remedy. 1t searches out the cause of the disease. healing and strengthening the mucous membranes. and thus giving Nature an opportunity to perform her part of the restorative process.
 One of the many hospitals which have found Peruna of value in treating old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John. who write as follows:

Plans to Reforest 3, 900 Acres
 PriUate Lands in Florida
MH gmH MH m mmnw nnrTgugIn

Washington. Feb. 2z.--Fforida Is the latest State to- show an interest in re- forestatiop. The United States Forest Service, at the request of the DuneIlon Phosphate Company. has just compiet- ca an examination of vast areas of cut over lands in Marion and Citrus coun- ties to determine the feasibility of for est planting insthis section of the Pal metto State.
 While the greater portion of the tract examined is well tImbered, there was found to about 5000 acres of sandy brush and grass covered land from which every pine has been cut so that natural reproduction is impossible ex- cept on q narrow strip adjoining the forest. If the lands are to be used 70 the best advantage It will be ne- cessary to restock this cut-over area by artificial means. The plans outline the most extensive reforestation oper- attons ever begun in the South.
 After a careful study of conditions It was decided that the sowing of long leaf pine seed in spots would be the most practicable method of accomplish ipg this. The growing of this species in nursery. followed by transplanting of seedlings to the field. 1t not consld- cred feasible owing to the long tap roots which are characteristic of the longleaf pine and make transplanting difficult. Expermental planting of the camphor tree, mesquite and several species Of eucalyptus Is suggested. since it ie thought to be entirely prac- ticabie from business standpoint to grow these trees in this region.
 It is probable that the owners, of the land will prepare to take up work along the lines recommended iFnn1e- diately. The only thing which is Iike- ly to threaten the success of planting in this region is danger from fires. As in the case in all forest work. fire

HARRALSON IS FREED
BIR1EINGHAM MAN NOT GUILTY OF
 MURDER. fi
He Was Accused of kiIIiag Grover < Cleveland Hiehardson a9
 nesseaner About .
 Womsan.

Birmingham, Feb, 22---(SpeciaI)-- Because of the presence of a number of women in the criminal court today during the trial of Charles M. Har- ralson. charged with the murder of Grover Cleveland Richardson. a collec- tor at Bessemer. last August. Joseph Babcock. q cabinet maker, summoned by the states asked to be excused from repeating certain conversations he had heard. because of the nature of the language. Ia
 Most of the women present were rela- lives of the defendant, and the little children of Harralson's were playing about his knees.
 The ladies are in the court room of their own accord, said Solicitor lief iins "and the court did not summons them. Go right ahead and tell what Mfr Harraison said after going into your shop for lthe purpose of getting a view of the negr woman's house. .'
 When Mir Babcock was cross ex- amined by the attorneys for Harralson many pointed questions were asked him. some of which seemed very em- barassing. Some of his answers than once the sheriff was forced to call for order. a
 The prineipaI witness before the case was closed was Harralsou himself, who denied any knowledge of the murder and said he was at home with his wife and family the night Richardson was killed. He admitted writing the letter which was intercepted by Joseph Lantznester, inside warden at the coun- ty jail. but said 1t was intended for 1is wife and not for Lilly Hicks, the negro woman at whose house the murder was committed and who claims that far falson did the shooting
 Haralson also told something of the trouble in jail as the result of Mir. Lantznester's testimony to the effect that Harralson had been trying to communicate with the negro woman ever since they had been in jail and that he intercepted the letter by keep ing close watch over them. He inti- mated that he was challenged to fight 1t out but that he remained in his cell.
 The case went to the jury in the was rendered finding the defendant not guilty.

C ATARRH of the respiratory organs
 Is a common ailment in Canada for at least two-thirds of the year.
 This condition Is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experienced h this part of the continent.
 Therefore, when Peruna was discov- cred by Canadian people to be q reliable remedy for these catarrhal diseases. 1t at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals, and in families. but in the great hospitals. where it was used as preventive and relief in hun- areds of cases.
 These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treat msnt of their poor and sick.
 Among these institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsement: Tke Peruna Company
