Electric Light Is SO Fine
| Cannot Tell You How
Well We Like It,"

Electric light is 50 fine that I cannot tell how
well we like it." That is the opinion which one
woman expressed. Similar expressions are coming
TO us almost every day from those who use cleo
trio light.
Why was this woman so enthusiastic? She
told US, she will tell you if you ask her. II is so
clean. this electric light II is sanitary. it is safe
and above all it takes nothing from and adds moth
ing to the atmosphere. And the comfort--welI it
was the comfort which appealed to this lady of the
house. and it viii appeal 10 any one. She wants
something from the porch. light is snapped, it
lights the porch, she finds the article and the light
is snapped off Just as easily. Wants to 60 to the
ceIIar-s light snapped on makes descent safe and
easy. Trip to the cellar complete light is snap
ped off Imagine anything easier. And the eIec-
trio iron which she uses-it has already saved hun
dreds Of steps and il was only recently that the
house was equipped with electricity.
You know that your friends who have electric
ity in their homes have comfort, but you probably
supposed that il was costing considerable money.
Take the instance described. This is an eight
room house. There is light in every room that
be turned on and off at will. Is the cost high?
Certainly not. The cost for all the light used for
the current for the iron has averaged less than five
cents per day. viii you dens yourself such com
fort for that amount? If you want it come in and
talk the proposition over with us and find what
it will cost for comfort of this kind in your home

recently announced his favor for the
passage of the Miller. Curtis bill, the
proposed national law which makes 1t
impossible for the brewers and distill.
ers of one state to ship beer or whiskey
ioto the dry" TERRITORY of another
state. It is recognized as an injustice
that when state or county has declar
ed in opposition to the existence of 50
looms and breweries shipments of Ii
quor from outside distilleries and out
side breweries should be permitted Il,
disregard the state and local option
law and the wishes of the people spd
make shipments of whiskey and bee,
into such territory. 1t is this injustic.
that Sen. VIM. Alden Smith belieyes
should be prevented. Referring to the
fact that there is widespread and jus'
demand that the shipment of liquor in
to prohibition territory shall be pre-
vented by law, Senator Smith said in o
letter to the Epworth League of thu

HE WHIPS A LION
Elephant Wins Battle in Behalf
of Camel.
Now Prince Has Broken Jaw
and May Die.

South Norwalk, Conn, Sept. 3.-In
terrific battle with an elephant in the
main tent OF a circus today, a full
grown African lion named Prince came
off second best. In fact so badly is the
big cat injured that he may not recover.
The lion and Queen, Honess, es-
capped while being fed. There was a
stampede among the spectators and
several were bruised in the panic, but
the lions paid no attention to the
human beings but attacked two Shet-
land ponies, clawing them so badly that
they were shot. Then Prince made for
Napoleon. camel and close friend OF
the largest elephant in the show.
The elephant. tethered near oy,
knocked the lion away from the camel
with one blow of his trunk. Prince
sprang for the elephants chest, sink
ing his claws in the leather hide until
the blood flowed in streams. The great
trunk coiled around the cat again and
dashed it to the ground. Prince re-
gained his feet and leaned for the
forehead of the elephant but was knock
ed senseless by one blow from the
trunk of the maddened animal. At
PENDANTS rushed il. and succeeded in
ca ging both lions before Prince recov-
cred. The Hor's jaw is broken and 1t
is feared he has suffered internal in

DR.. Hartman Answers Questions
About The Revised Pe-ru-na

All this L knew before I changed
the formula of Pe-ru-na, which dio
six years ago, but did not realize the
difficulty of overcoming the people
notions on this subject
I made a change in the formula OF
Pe-ru-na. Quite radical change. "A
change that altered the color and the
taste and somewhat the medicinal ef-
feet of Pe-ru-na. / did this oelleV-
ing it was the best thing to 90 unoer
the circumstances.
Immediately the change appeared,
the people began to complain of Pc
ru-na. They generally thought the
druggist was to blame. that their bot
tie OF Pe-ru-na had been tempered
with. This made bad feelings between
the users of Pe-ru-na and the drug
gists. The druggists in some cases
became irritated and angered and
made complaint to the wholesalers
and manufacturers. Thus the trade
was temporarily in an uproar.
After a year of explanation the
trade quieted down and the new Pc
ru-na took it's place in the drug stores
as a popular household remedy. And
yet it has not attained the popularity
that the other Pe-runa had. Chang
ing the formula of Pe-ru-na was
equivalent to introducing a new medi-
cine into the drug trade, an extreme
ly difficult thing to do nowadays
Pe-ru-na as it is made today is a
very excellent remedy for catarrh and
general catarrhal ailments. 1t is for
sale in all drug stoes and has
slight laxative effect, very much need
ed in these days. 1t seemed to me
that it was in many ways a better
remedy than before. Yet in spite of
all explanations there is a consider
able demand for the old Pe-ru-na as
1t used to be made.
I have authorized the formation of
4 company to manufacture it, under
the trade name of Ka-tar-no. The
ka-tar-no Co. is located in Columbus,
Ohio, and stands ready to supply the
trade with the old-time formula of
Pe-ru-na under the name of Ka-tar-
no.

ar-no Co, Columbus, Ohio.
