Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh2

Should list ofthe ingredients of Pc

he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them 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

remedies for catarTh. Every ingred-

Peruna brings to the home the CON-

the home scientific skill and knowI-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last butnot least, brings 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 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. Itmay be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
orean. ISare is no doubt as to the ma
ture CT the disease The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for theIn.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. HartM.an's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on 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 di-
reosly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary for
the handling Of it.

WHAT SOCIALISM AIMS AT

WAAftA HOgAfAA-Astft NJ
One Of the ferments of aur political
life, 50 to speak, and one comparatively
new to American politics, is socialism.
So far there is very little argument on
the part Of its advocates as to the
meaning of its so-called principles or
what it purposed to do. This leaves
those on the outside in a state of con-
fusion. But one thing we can see and
that is that socialism is trying to build
up in this Republic class divisions and
a class spirit Do we want such di-
visions and such a spirit? Does the
plain, common sense Of the American
people want any such construction Of
American society? Do we want POI
litical condition whereby we shall be
fenced off continually into laborers and
employers, working people and aristo-
Gratis with no prospect of change
from one to the other? The genius of
American liberty has produced con-
dition of things whereby man may
change his position in society simply
because there is no fixed class spirit
here. Each man is the architect and
to certain extent the arbiter of his
own fo.tune.
Every poor man has recognized the
fact that by life of sobriety, industry
and study, he can change his status if
he will. Do we want to have the
qualifications Of society made as rigid
as those of the rocks? If so the logic
Of socialism as at present expounded
win bring it. An effort is being made
to unite the farmers and wage-workers
into separate class under the control
and direction Of the socialistic leaders.
AS has been said in joining this party,
zone must forswear the right of
private judgement as to electoral tick
cts and renounce independence in poll
tics. Go into the parishes of Quebec
where the priest is the boss over the
temporal as we'll as spiritual activities
Of the people and we have condition
Of complete subserviancy closely akin
to that which socialism would institute.
But that is not the ideal of American
| liberty. Our schools and our institu-
tons have built up the idea of the in
dividual man, individual liberty giving
eye~y citizen the right to make the
most Of himself If he so chooses. Any
condition Of bossism, whether religious,
political or socialistic is opposed to the
original idea of American citizenship
and liberty, No doubt our system en-
genders certain evil. So does socialism
or any other system. 1t is a question
not of perfect good, but of choice of
evils, the least possible consistent with
Individual liberty. We thipk it will be
long 5ime before the socialists win
prevail upon the American farmers to
forsake the ideals Of individual indie
pendence in politics or business. for
socialistic bossism. One Of the most
powerful arguments against Trade
Unionism, which is a species of social
ism, is it's destruction of the spirit Of
individual liberty. This liberty is a
three-fold chord, consisting of religious
liberty, political liberty and industrial
liberty. It is only into the latter that
trade unionism intrudes. but socialism
would include political liberty as well.
DO the farmers Of this land want it,
Governor Hoard.

NAVAL HEROES
 COMMEMORATED
Five New Torpedo Destroyers Are Named in Honor of Five
 Brave Men.

Washington October N--The memory of five naval heroes was commemorated today by the navy department in gv- ing their names to five new torpedo de- stroyers authorized by Congress. Already the United States has many heroes after whom torpedo boats and destroyers have been named To these the department today added the names of Rear Admiral | Daniel Ammen, Lieut. John Trippe Capt Daniel T. Patterson, Rear Admiral Henry Walker and Ensign John R. Monaghan.
 Rear Admiral Ammen took a promi- nent part in the operations along the Atlantic coast during the Civil war, espe- cially in attacks on Fort McAllister and Fort Sumter in 1863, yeiile in command of the United States Steamship Patapsco
 Lieutenant Trippe received the thanks of Congress and a sword for distinguished services performed with Preble's squad ron In the engagements before Tripoli in 1894.
 Captain Patterson commanded the na- val forces in New Orleans in 1914 and his splendid services there led to vote of thanks by Congress
 Rear Admiral Wake performed dstin- guished service in the Civil war In com mand of the United States Steamship Caronddet He ran the batteries of Island No. 10 in the Mississippi river and had an historic engagement with the Confederate ram Arkansas in the Yazoo river in 1862 For these deeds he re- ceived the thanks of the Secretary of Navy and the commendation of Admiral Foote.
 Ensign Monaghan distinguished him. self in an engagement with the natives in Samoa in 1S49 In endeavoring to re- move to the rear Lieutenant Lansdale who had been wounded. he himself was killed.
