Montreal, Nov. z, 1908.
We found Peruna a relief in several
cases.
We can say 1t is good tonic and we
are very thankful
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body--is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is 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:
eve are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three
patients have tried it, one 8s years old,

WON PRIZES FOR
TIE AND APRON
MANY Pretty Ties and Aprons were
Worn Last Evening at the
RoII-a-way Skating Party.

The Roll-a-way skating rink was
the scene of merry necktie and
pinafore party last evening. many per
sons being present to witness the
spectacle of the young ladies with
pretty aprons and young men with ties
of every color and variety. At
O'Clock the grand march was started
and those competing for the handsome
skate prizes given by the manage
ment formed in line and the march
begun. Ladies and gentlemen by re-
quest skated separately after the
grand march SO that the winners
might be determined on by the
judges.
There were many pretty aprons and
MANY pretty cravats and it was an
exceedingly difficult task for the
Judges TO decide on the winners. Miss
Ruth Crowley and Mr.. Ed. Robert
son were finally thus honored and the
choice met the approval of all.
On next Friday evening at the
rink there will be black face party
and every one who joins it will be
HACKED or wear a black mask. Those
whose faces are BACKED will only be
permitted to skate in the grand march
and compete for the skate prizes.

experiencing much fatigue. Now can
walk mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the eff
ficiency of your remedy"
Hospital st. John, of st. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks ago wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend 1t highly for
colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia.
II have used it myself as n tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
teaspoonful every half hour"
Mrs. Eta Booker, Dundurn, Sask.
N. w. t., Canada, writes:

ing treatment as he advised. l can saw
am now cured of this most trying
affection, for which I am truly thank.
full. / think Peruna the best medicine
for catarrh. l never felt better in my
life than do at present."
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
| OF course, it is only reasonable to
suppose that a great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after it had been az
| lowed to become chronic.

Carthage Was Easy Last Evening at

The Keokuk High school basket ball,
team rolled up fifty-seven points
against the Carthage High school
quintet last evening at the Y. M. G.
A. gymnasium, in game in which
Keokuk showed superiority in every
department of the game
The basket throwing of Keokuk was
a shade lower than has been seen dur
ing previous games and it was only
for this fact that the score was not
much higher.
The ball was with Keokuk during
almost the entire game and the few
baskets made by Carthage were long
throws. But the visitors must be Civ
en- credit for putting UP game fight
and in the last period held the local
ball tossers in a fairly even manner
The team work of Carthage was very
good, but when the ball was taken
down the field close enough for a shot
at the basket the Keokuk guards
would sweep upon the players, and
block any chance. The visitors were
also very weak in goal shooting.
Many baskets were made by keo-
kuk without visitor to9hing the
ball. King outjumped his man in cen
ter and started almost every play
toward Keokuk's goal.
For Keokuk c. King did the best
work and seemed to be everywhere

rATARRH Of the respiratory organs
" is a common ailmenti in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be reliable
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds Of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these Institutions is that of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna for the past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that 1t has given us greal
satisfaction.

\. Interesting Lecture Was the One
Given Last Evening by Rev.
Potter at Trinity
M. E. Church.
SYNOPSIS OF ADDRESS
-. pastor of the Church Gave Very
Fine Address Regarding a
Tour Of the Holy Land
Of Egypt.

~ the Trinity NJ. E. church last
evening, Rev. I. Wesley Potter gave
Nc lecture Through Palestine on
Horseback' and was heard by large
sized audience which not only filled
the church. but required the opening
nj the Sunday School room In order to
accommodate the crowd. Despite the
many other attractions of the evening,
tho audience was large one and all
greatly enjoyed the lecture which was
a most interesting one and highly in
structive.
i've years ago this spring, Rev. Pot
ter visited the Holy and as one OF the
seventeen delegates from Iowa to the
worlds fourth Sunday School conven-
ton which was held at Jerusalem.
There were SIT delegates on board
ship and during the tour, three con-
tinents were visited and the party
travelled in IA countries.
The lecture of last evening was
given under the auspices of the
Ladies Aid society and was a great
success in every way. Rev Potter
talked for two hours and the end OF
the lecture came entirely too soon tc
suit the audience which was greatly
instructed and delighted with the ad
dress by the eloquent minister.
Following is synopsis of the al
dress:

A Synopsis Of Lecture.

Impressions of the Holy Land, or
Of any land, depend more upon the
personality and preparation you bring,
than upon the land itself.
For illustration: Three men stood
at Niagara Falls, one said, What a
grand sight, surely this is nature at
her best" And another said, isn't
1t a shame to have so much power go
ing to waste?' While the third re-
marked, What fine place this would
be for washing sheep
So impressions of travel and sight
seeing depend very largely upon the
dominating element of your vision; be
that ommercialism, stock-raising, or
the uplifted ideals of the beautiful
and sublime.
Palestine is the miracle of geo.
graphy as Christ is the miracle of
history. Its position, size and rela-
ton to the ancient world, are all
unique and make a most interesting
study
The Holy Land is narrow strip of
mountainous country, only a few
miles wide, few miles long, having
total area less than one-fourth the
size of Iowa. And yet for place, dig
nifty, and dominent influence upon all
races in all ages, this country stands
alone
Old Mt. Moriah was the water shed
OF ancient civilization.
The religion of the Jews vas the

Jul accomplishment of all the tasks
OF life. But the Jew was at last driver
