TAKE PERUNA FOR
COUGHS AND COLDS

TO do great injury. After the expectora-
tion has been properly removed the cough
will stop itself. That is the only proper
way to stop cough.
Occasionally cough depends upon an.
irritable condition of the larynx or bron.
chial tubes, in which there is little or m,
expectoration.
The problem of stopping such cough
is slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken, but some.
times it is necessary that local treatment
be added.
But in any case Peruna is needed Yo,
do not have to stop to swrite re. Get
Per1lna at once and commence taking II
You can get rid of that cough sooner 7

Should you wish to consult me at anv
time while you are taking Peruna YOU ar.
at perfect liberty to write me. Your let

you will receive prompt answer.
I want to stop that cough of yours
I want to stop it before it really begins

isA5ELLA's DESCENDANTS.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY

The discovery is attributed to Presi
dent David Starr Jordan of Stanford
university that almost any American
OF distinction can trace his descent to
common ancestor. one Isabella de
Vermandois. duchess of Warren, who
lived in the twelfth century. So far as
that is concerned, none Of US has any
difiiculty in proving by unimpeachable
mathematics and irrefutable logic that
he is warmed by the transmitted blood
OF nobility, royalty and genius. A
child of today has two parents. four
grandparents and so one. Counting
FOR convenience three generations to
the hundred years, his theoretical an
cestors in Isabella's century are num-
bered by millions; few centuries fur
ther back by billions. The actual mum.
Der Is far smaller, since lines OF descent
cr!ss-cross from common ancestors;
but it Is fair logical inference that
among SO many millions and centuries
every one may count on possessing a
reasonable number of royal or dis
tinguished forbears. But what does
that prove? How much influence on
the life Of an American Of today could
be claimed for one-seFen. .millionth
part of Isabella blood, or for any
probable number of multiples Of that
share? Here is the crucial test Of the
heredity fallacy, the scientific basis oi
democracy. says the New York World
E,igenics Is fact: but better far a
descent from reasonable proportion
OF good stock In the three or four mos,
recent generations than the ability tc
claim one-two-hundredth part OF sin

Especial to the newark star.I

JERSEY CITY, NJ j., May 27--In
the opinion Of the Rev. George
Daniel Hadley, rector of st. Johns
Protestant Episcopal Church, the
grizzly bear, turkey trot, bunny hug,
kitchen sink or any of the tango
variety of dances is not so bad as
some people would believe, IL the
dancers are careful.
This is what Mr.. Hadleye says:
Much of the present day wailing
about dancing is silly. Most Of the
modern steps are pretty and good.
The trouble is that only the finest
dancers can keep in unison without
getting too close together. SO all the
poorer dancers have to get "a music
ball hold to keep in step"
