There is a treat in store for the
lovers and patrons of musical com
edy when Mr.. Ernest II. Estey
presents himself and his company
of fun makers i'll Wanted Hus-
band, at the Columbia Theatre on
Monday Feb. q. Mr.. Estey needs
no introduct on to theatregoers OF
Bloomsbury as he is well known to
all, having appeared in this city
with several large musical COM
panies during past seasons. He has
spared no expense on his present
company and production and its
absolutely complete in every detail.
The chorus of pretty girls ele-

mention in regard to their ability
both as singers and dan;ers. The
musical numbers are of the latest
edition and their portrayal by the
girls is such as is seen in all metro
politan companies throughout the
larger cities.

Who Influenced Him.

A lawyer once asked man who

the lawyers, the witnesses or the
Judges ?"
He expected to get some useful
and interesting information from so

Dundee Advertiser. This was the
mans reply
II tell yer, sir, 'ow 1 makes up
my mind. am a plain man, and
a reasonin man, and l amt influ-
enced by anything the lawyers say,
nor by what the witnesses say
no, nor by what the Judge says.

A Musical Comedy.

When one has acquired the habit
of witnessing musical comedies
like Wanted Husband" it is
hard to lose it and one seems to
witness it again and again without
tiring in the least of its charm. 1t
is relief to listen to the piece in
its proper surroundings. The COM
pany is especially strong on the
musical side as are all organizations
which Mr.. Estey sends out
throughout the country for musical
comedies, and this one ranks
among the very best. The solo
numbers are all we'll cared for but
the cboruses show the full strength
of the organization to the best
advantage.
Although the engagement is for
Feb. 20, only the advance sale of
seats will be open Friday so as TO
give the patrons of the Columbia
Theatre a chance to make their

A later letter received from the ssmo
institution reads as follows;
"Tbree weeks ago I wrote to feG

Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stagS-

More Money to Fight Plague.
Secretary Wilson Asks Congress Tor Additional
Appropriation Of $3.50, 900 10 Push
The Crusade.

Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment of agriculture, has communi-
ted to congress the fact that unless
another appropriation OF $3.50, 900
is made to cover the expenses of
stamping out the foot and mouth
disease the work of the bureau of
animal industry will be seriously
hampered before the end of the fs-
cal year.
Early in the present session the
secretary asked congress- to give
him $500, 900 for this work. Only
SI5o,ooo was appropriated. He
says that SIS3,776 already has been
expended and that there are further
liabilities estimated at S63,275,
making total of $247,o6I up to
date. Mr.. Wilson says further
while the general bureau work
has not yet suffered it is apparent
that it must be seriously crippled
before the year is ont unless the
appropriation is reimbursed. The
number of employees now engaged
in the final work of distinction is
1919, and it will not be possible to
withdraw all of them until warm
weather-say for three months
yet"
The recent epidemic Of foot and
mouth disease responsible for these
large expenditures was in the States
of Pennsylvania, New York, Michi.
gan and Maryland. The disease
YVES brought under control some
time ago, but Mr.. Wilson has de-
clared that men must be kept in
the field to observe symptoms,
with view of preventing another
outbreak.

Price Of Fruits May Rise.

To prevent the contemplated bill
to increase the tariff duties on nuts
and fruits being forced on the peo-
pie the Shamokin Business Mems
Association has transmitted to Con-
gressman John G. McHenry a
strong protest against this unjust
increase. For example : Pineap-
pies would jump from IA to TO
cents per crate grapes to so cents !;
lemons to $I.I5 per box currants,
raisins and other fruits in propor-
tion. In short if it becomes law
the people will be the sufferers.
The same applies to Bloomsbury
and it would be we'll to send SINH
lar protests from here.

We found Peruna o relief In several
cases.
We can say IL Is a good tonic and we
are very thankful.
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system 1t becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body--is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such remedy. II
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 ofvalue in treating old and
obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital
st. John, who write as follows:

CATARRH Of the respiratory organs
~ is common ailment 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
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, 1t
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but In the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventive and relief in hun
dreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been 30 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:
