A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine
 That Should Be Tn Every Home

good tonic laxative the great majority of cases of sickness would be pre- vented.
 Peruna is a remedy that should be kept In the house. Its virtue as a preventive to disease is the thing l wish chiefly to emphasize.
 A slight condition of constipation may lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels. biliousness, re-absorption of poisonous material and finally sickness Or apathy of the stomach in which the food Is not relished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or to the acquisition of some acute dis ease. For either one of these condi- tions a few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna would set matters right. This is why the remedy should always be kept handy by
 When once the value of Peruna as a household remedy Is understood no home would be without 1t. Cathartics, pills and powders would be discarded. Irritating tonics would be no longer taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no place. With a few doses of Peruna a vigorous appetite is produced and If there be any sluggishness of the bowels their function is gradually restored. Most laxatives are weakening in their effect A tonic laxative guards against this weakening effect. Until right living has become so thoroughly established that all medicines are su perfuous, Peruna will be needed. It Is exactly the remedy that meets numer- ous necessities of the household. Sold at all drug stores.

Nearly everybody Is obliged more or less to take laxative. There are of course a few exceptions. A great many people also need occasionally to take a tonic. Probably few households exist that do not make use of tonics and lax atives.
 The remedy Peruna is a laxative tonic. It not only operates as gentle laxative, but also as tonic.
 The benefit derived from such a rem edy Is a great deal more in the pre- vention of disease than in the cure. After person has really become sick. either with an acute or chronic ail- ment, the rule should be to employ a physician, or some one who can give the case his personal attention. But long before this happens the person will complain of this or that symptom, which is not severe enough to interfere with his regular activities. If at this place before the disease has really gained foothold in the system, per son was to take dose or two of a

Sent the Loop circIlng About the
Broad Tail,

watching it's impotent struggle to free
itself from a depression in the sand
In its eagerness to follow a school OF
little fish, which a whale scoops into
its great mouth for food, it had swan
too far inshore and bad got over a
tiny bar. Now its great tail sWished
impotently and it buried itself deeper
in its little hole in the sand every
moment.
Get a line and Til rope the crit
ter" offered Ehrhart, who had slept
over night in the life-saving station.
Calmly he spliced and tied a coarse
piece Of rope that a man brought from
the boathouse. At the first cast, stand
ing above his knees in the water, the
erstwhile cowboy sent the loop cir
cling about the broad tail of the whale
and cheer went up as many hands
drew the knot tight. The whales 81
gantic throws and hauls were in vain.
It was tied to Spite and LETT for the
tide to strand when it went out.
Exposure to the air caused the
whale soon to gasp its life away. It
was about twenty feet long and
weighed about two tons.

The Traps Were Effective.

The traps, while simple, were very
effective, and each summer season the
boys have been able to capture from
30 to 40 cubs. The district worked
measured ten miles by eleven. They
found a ready market for the bears
in city park commissioners, summer
resorts, as pets for sportsmen's chill
dren and for circuses.
Fat, well-kept black bear cubs are
worth from $50 to $40 q pair at the
Hepburn ranch, and at. this price
easily disposed of. At the bear cub
ranch the little rogues had to be kept
inside a pen covered twice with the
heaviest wire fencing. They were fed
on alfalfa and fish.

New York.-Lassoing a whale from

young man visiting the Arverne life
savers, when the great sea mammal
was sighted. Neatly over the threshing
tail of the monster Ehrhart, who said
he once punched cattle in the west,
dropped his moose and the life-savers
tied their catch to a Spite driven in
the sand.
Later in the day thousands visited
the whale, as the fine weather drew
throngs to the shore, and congratu-

sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
ttched.

cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cutfcura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
