WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Us 1t a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it BOth2

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right
Is 1T more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call 1t a tonioi
Our reply is, that Peruna Is both a
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
ety that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case OF catarrh, q remedy must not
only have specific action on tho mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes a specific rem.
edy for catarrh that in the present
state OF medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINS0NIA CANADENSIS. COR
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all ito
stages and locations iii the body.
From q theoretical standpoint. there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use OF Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the
DRY the result is truth that cannot DO
shaken.

What Is a Home?

What constitutes a home? Folk
or furniture? A house, or those who
inhabit it? This is a mystery that
the hayward pen cannot solve with a
flourish. A home is expensive, in
deed, for it includes all who are born
In its charmed circle, and many more
besides; but is it thing that grows,
that is subject Of evolution? Make
the answer to suit yourself; let it be
whimsical or serious; but you may
be sure that the spirit OF the home
is not to be found in warehouses, nor
in the auction shops, nor in the mar
ket places of the world. 1t Is an
ethereal essence, with huency
which fills every corner from cellar
to garnet, and gives out its perfume
even to the stranger that enters the
door. And If you have ever had a
Whit of this subtle perfume, count
yourself fortunate among the chill
dren Of men.

Victims of Opium,

DIR. Jeanselme, one of the profess
sors at the Paris Faculty of Medi-
cine, states that the opium habit is
much more common among French
navy officers than is generally sup
posed, and he thinks it quite pos
sible that the prevalence of this
curse may explain the numerous dis
asters which have overtaken the
French navy of late. Dr. Jeanselme
sets the number of opium smokers
in the colonial infantry regiments at
is per cent, I'm the foreign legion at
20 per cent and among Europeans In
native regiments at % per cent. He
says that opium dens abound at Tou-
lon, Brest Lorient, Rochefort, Cher
bourg and Paris.

THIS IS DRY WICHITA.
Police Raid Saloons and Find Them
Full of Drinkers.

Wichita, Aug. 11.-C1inking beer
bottles called down the wrath of the
police on the Hereford places at 2O4
and 2Os West Douglas avenue. Three
arrests followed and numerous sam

Thomas Hereford was arrested and
charged with resisting an officer. He
gave a $50 bond for his appearance
for trial.
Lee and Dewitt Hereford are held

lice Emery will swear out a warrant
charging them with violating the
state prohibitory law.
A drunken boy lying in the gutter
near Thomas Hereford's place at 2O4
West Douglas avenue invited the visit
of the police to that place. The boy
was so drunk he was unable to walk.
When Chief Emery entered the
Hereford place and made an effort to
look into the ice box Hereford
slammed the lid shut and ordered the
chief to let the ice box alone. In a
brief space of time Hereford was Civ
ing the police sergeant a $50 bond for
resisting an officer. Chief Emery then
went to the place and got a bottle of
booze as souvenir. 1t is to be
analysed.

the undisturbed Lee Hereford as he
prepared to swat the chief. In a mo-
ment the keeper Of the place was try

At this point Dewitt Hereford

catch the full force of a swift punch
from Officer Griswold. When he had
been formally counted out the two
Herefords were led away to the sta

After seeing what was going on at
the Hereford places they were given
five minutes to close. The Thomas
Hereford place closed it doors. The
other place did not close and the mix

NURSE TELLS Of
BABY'S SUFFERING
Raw with Eczema from Birth-Fear-
ful Itching Lasted for Months
Treatment FutiIe-WaIked the
Floor with Him Night and Day
Wasted Away and Got Little Rest.
PERMANENTLY CURED
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

1.-THE first time went out as q nurse
was when a baby boy was born. He
was perfectly raw all over with humor.
The doctor gave us some ointment to
use, but he got no better. The baby
seemed to be suffering terribly, and at
times / had to walk the floor with him
night and day, sending for my husband
to carry him when I could not. His
poor little head became covered with
crusts and the doctor decided it was
eczema. The fearful itching went on
for months, and the little fellow was
wasted to a skeleton and could get al
most no rest. At last / decided to try
the Cuticura Remedies, bathing him
with Cuticura Soap, using just as little
water as possible; then / applied the
Cuticura Ointment, and gave him small
doses Of Cuticura Resolvent. This re-
lieved him almost at once and in a
comparatively short time the baby was
quite well. Now, thirteen years after,

NOT WANTED IN DENVER.
Authorities Suggest That Kansas Pa
rents Care for Child.

Denver. Aug. 11.-Mrs. Pauline
johnson, a queer little 22-year-old
woman who has just come to Denver,
is wondering why she did not think to
place her little blind baby in an asy-
lum in Kansas, her home. instead OF
coming all the way to Denver, only to
find that the greatest obstacle in the
way of placing the infant here is that
Kansas should take care of its people
and babies.
Mrs. johnson left Assaria. Kan, a
week ago to go to Oakland, Cal,
where she intended to live with a
friend and place the blind baby in an
asylum there. The child, however,
became afflicted with the whipping
cough just prior to reaching Denver
and SO stop was made in this city.
The mother applied to the Associ-
ated Charities. asking that influence be
brought to bear upon some institution
for the blind to bring about the ac-
ceptance of the child into the home.
Investigation. however. proved that
Mrs. Johnson's husband is well-to-do,
and efforts are therefore being made
to have him support the child in some
institution agreeable to both parties.
While Mrs. Johnson will not talk on
the subject. it is believed that all is
not as congenial as 1t should be be-
tween the husband and wife.
