 The society's colporteurs have stead fly pushed Bible circulation from Sofia, the capital. as a center; also from Philippopolis, next to the capital the most important city; also from Sam ckov. the center of American educa- tional enterprise for these sturdy peo- pie. Ordinarily. the colporteur staff has consisted of five or six men, one with headquarters at Sofia, two in the territory surrounding Samokov, and two or three In the large territory centering at Philippopolis. We have no recent information of what these men have been able to accomplish since tlle outbreak of the war. There f>.i, however. been no fighting on Bulgarian soil. and presumably they have per- sisted in their activities as far as pos sible. But the country's interest has centered in the war ani 1t has con tributed to it's prosecution the mass of it's fighting population; general busi- ness operations have beon largely sus- pended; and the colporteurs' most de- terInincd efforts could scarcely be ex- pected to reap great results except, perhaps, in the way of eratuitous dls- tribution among the soldiers.

 As to our work in Asia Minor: For warding the needed Scriptures has be- come exceedingly difficult; in fact, about impossible. The work of the col porteurs has necessarily been much cur tailed by the universal unrest and anxiety, as well as by the liability Of the men to be called to military service. We shall scarcely expect any optim- istic reports from our Asia Minor force.
 As to the future. it Is impossible at this moment to prognosticate what shape plans and methods must take after the war Is over and the new geography has been outlined. For changes there must be in the adjust

By DR. MARCELLUs BOWEN Agent Society At ConstantinopIe

The interests of the American Bible oocioty, like thoEe of tho general missionary boards, are very seriously involved in tho fierce Balkan struggle now in progress. In Bulgaria, as well as in the Turkish provinces of Saloni-si and Adrianople. the work of the so- ciety has for several years been stead fly advancing. Especially in Bulgaria tho demand for the Scriptures has in- creased inarvelously during the past i've years, and to keep up with it has boen no easy task for the society Our latest intelligence shows an increase rather than a decrease In this demand eince the declaration of war.

Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done great work In
relieving catarrh. chronic and acute.
Many hundreds Of cases Of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since its revision.
There is a difference, however, In
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative Is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-
