REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi! River Steamers Original
ed Cognomen That Has Now
Become Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them So he named them in honor of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest
state. Other boat owners took up the
idea, and thus the word cabin was
gradually alternated by state" room.
For years the best cabin was still
known as the Texas. Then that So
briquet died with the ebhing glory of
the old river steamers. But the word
"stateroom" became incorporated into
our language, and in time even broke
into the dictionary, as does many an
other catch phrase. Not one person
in thousand who occupies state
room knows the term once meant "a
room named for a state"

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

sease has really gained foothold in tho
system, person was to take a dose or two
of good tonic laxative the great major
ity 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 | wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
biliousness, re-absorption of poisonous ma
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy OF
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.s
When once the value of Peruna as
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With
few doses of Peruna a vigorous appetite Is
produced and if there be any sluggishness

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 superfluous, Peruna will
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house

Nearly everybody is obliged more OF
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
laxatives.

tonic. 1t not only operates as gentle
laxative, but also as tonic.

No. &c Knights of Columbus at St.

of driving down in their machines.
The base bali game was the most
enthusiastic event on the program.
Unity Council was defeated. Dyer win
ming by score of to 8. Due credit
must be given the Dyer boys for their
wonderful playing and especially
pitcher Champagne of Chicago Heights
for Dyer and good work was also done
by Jordan the catcher for Dyer. The
Young. Frank Hill and Pat McShane.
Ed Young and Frank Hill also did good
work in the pitchers box and the game
was very exciting from the beginning.
Dyer was very strongly represented
and must be given credit for having a
very live bunch of rooters for their
base ball team. It was said after the
game that DR.. Chevigny of Dyer had
been feeding all the Dyer rooters with
a special lung syrup so that they would
be able to drown out the X. or c.
