chosen President OF the Town
Council by majority of 20.

and Final Explosion.

Marcel Rodel, tie sole survivor
of the steamer General Chanzy,
which was wrecked last week OH a

a thrilling narrative, prior to his
departure for France, of the ter
rible experiences of the steamer
and those on board.
"When the Chanzy left Marseil-

a northerly gale. The passengers
were not apprehensive. however,

to reassure the passengers, but
their words had no effect on the

were breaking over the steamer
One sea ripped off a railing to

as they disappeared were drowned

Rodel took refuge in a grotto at
the base of a high cliff, where he
passed day and a night. With
the wreckage he built barricades
to keep off the sea, and appeased
his hunger with raw potatoes,
which had been cast in his cavern.
On the morning of the eleventh he
scaled the cliff and wearily dragged
himself TO the nearest habitation.

Peruna Secrets
You Should Know

Golden Seal, the root Of the above
plant, is very useful medicine. Many
people gather it in our rich woodlands
during the summer. Few people know
how valuable it is in dyspepsia, catarrh.
and as n general tonic.
Many thousand pounds of this root are
used each year in the famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna. This fact explains why
everybody uses Peruna for catarrh.
