our teasing her, but is very stubborn. She says that if she were to be sick m the same way again she would cer- tainly get Peruna and take it. alcohol or no alcohol So you see if people will persist in such foolishness there ought to be a law to prevent them"
 I ventured to interpose question. You say the doctors could not cure her, and yet you say Peruna did cure her What difference does it make to you whether it was alcohol or some other drug that effected the cure?"
 Well. don't know that it makes any difference, but it is deceiving the people to give them alcohol even though It does cure them" he said.
 replied Why, I cannot ex- actly derstand that. Alcohol is drug. the same as qui- nine or morphin If alcohol cures certain diseases where is the deception understand that the Pernna people print on the label of each bottle the per cent of alcohol contained in Peru na Each patient may read it, if he pleases, I cannot see where there is any deception
 Well. I would not take Peruna' he persisted Now, 1 was sick, I had a stomach disease violent pain, that would come on about an hour or two after each meal It grew worse and worse. I was also constipated. I con suited several doctors in our city about my health. I went to see a prominent specialist in New York City. paid out a great deal of money. but no help. One time l was having a bad spell on the train. The gentleman who occupied the next seat was a retired physician with whom I had been acquainted. He said to me, My friend. if you want to get well I would advise you to take a glass of lager beer before each meal. think that will cure you Having fol- lowed the directions of several good physicians without any assistance. thought I would try the beer. In a very short time found it was helping me. and I got entirely we'll My bowels became regular and I had no more pain. No more distress after meals Now. if my mother had used some remedy like that it would be all right But to persist in using some secret remedy like Peruna, I think 1t is out rageous"

 'Why. I presume it was the stimulant 1t contained. Yes, no doubt 1t was the stimulant"
 You know. of course that the stim- ulant in beer is alcohol. the same as In wine or whiskey or any other alco- holic drink?"
 Yes. I have heard say that beer con tains about five per cent. of alcohol.

Alcohol In Pe-ru-na-
 An Unjust Criticism

"Yes, l suppose SO"
 Five per cent. would be one-twen- tieth As each pint contains sixteen ounces you were then taking little less than an ounce of alcohol before each meal"
 Yes"
 But you objected to your mothers taking alcohol in the Peruna. and yet she was taking far less alcohol than you were. As l understand it, the dose of Peruna is one tablespoonful. Supposing it to be twenty per cent. alcohol. there would be in each dose one fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol which would be about half a teaspoOnful, while you were taking at least four teaspoonfuls | of alcohol in your bottle of beer. And yet you objected to your mothers talk ing Peruna on the ground that the Pe- runa contains alcohol In my opinion it was the alcohol that cured both of you. Your mother evidently was cured Of a very serious ailment. Peruna con- tains alcohol Ii was undoubtedly the alcohol that cured her. or at least helped to. The other ingredients of Peruna might have assisted, no doubt did Tn your case it was the alcohol in the beer that cured you of the stom- ach difficulty. Peruna has cured thousands of such cases"
 ''Well. I declare.' he replied "I never thought of it in that way before. There has been so much said about al- eohol being poisonous that I suppose my mind has been prejudiced against it. But if as you say there is also alcohol in beer, the same kind of alco- hol as is used in Peruna, 1 cannot see where the difference is myself"
 Well" I replied, you have been doing exactly what the average man and woman is doing. You have al- lowed your mind to become prejudiced against Peruna on account of it's con- taining alcohol. Without stopping to look into the matter at all you have assumed that there is something terri l bly, disreputable about remedies con- l taining alcohol. The fact is, however, | that most all fluid medicines, whether prescribed by doctor or put up as a patent medicine, contain certain amount of alcohol. It was alcohol that cured your mother It was alcohol that cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in some form or other is making more cures than all other drugs combined. l This is not saying, however, that Pe- runa contains only alcohol, for it does contain excellent remedies besides al- cohol. But do contend that the alco- hol In Peruna is not only not harmful to | those who take it. but if taken in the doses prescribed on the bottle it will do great deal of good and there is not the slightest danger of forming a drug habit" PERUNA IS FOR SALE AT ALI DRITG STORES

FREDDY WELSH, PICTURESQUE
MEMAER, FIGHT FRATERNITY

while the getting was good, He figured
in several no-decision bouts In Phila~
delphia and elsewhere. and while he
showed ability he did not start any
fires in the ring
During the early part of 1907 he
campaigned In Wales and England. He
won all his fights in that campaign ex-
cept one he had with Jem Driscoil.
which he lost on points
Weish's success abroad attracted pro-
motors In this country, and they made
catering offers for him to return.
He accepted. and shortly after that
his light began to spread.
1t was not until Welsh met Packey
Mcfarland, however. that he became
national celebrity,
The three close arguments between
this pair naturally has left ground for
a dispute that undoubtedly will be
fought out at some later date
Incidentally. he took on Abe Attell
in a ten-round catchweight affair,
and in this contest Welsh showed speed
and science of a high order.
Welsh's only setback was a twenty
round decision gained over him by
Matt Wells. at London early this year.
Welsh has claimed that he was en-
titled 10 draw with Wells, and he
cites the fact that Wells was more
nearly a weller than he was a light
weight when they clashed. The Eng
lish title went TO the winner.

There is room In this city for an

be placed here. The Federal league Is
going right along with new clubs in

art Nowadays when the hit-and-run
is successful the batter usually comes
through with clean-cut safe line

when the play Is pulled off as 1t should

advisory committee on art education
in England and a prominent British
yachtsman. being the owner OF the
successful fifteen metre racing yacht,
the Istria, arrived here yesterday on
board the Luisitania OF tho Cunard

Sir Charles said that should Sir
Thomas Upton fail to lift the Amer
ieas cup with the Shamrock Nv, de-
signed by Charles Nicholson. and now
under construction at the yards OF
Camper & Nicholson, Gosport, Eng
land, he expected to be one of syndi~
cate to challenge for the coveted
trophy.
When here last spring Sir Charles
was reported as favoring a schooner
rugged yacht, under the old conditions,
but now that a seventy five-foot sloop
had been decided upon. he would not
express an opinion regarding the type
OF yacht he would challenge with IL
the opportunity presented itself as he
considers IL time enough to decide
when the CHALLENGER Is defeated,
When asked what he thought OF
Great Britain's chance OF lifting the
cup next year, he said: II nave every
confidence in the ability and origin

playwright in the United States today

possibilities OF everyday life than Mr..

OF Maggie Pepper the best of his
talent.
In this play Mr.. Klein has written
drama really in keeping with Ameri-
can life, as the average person sees Ii
and he handles his theme with deft

HIT AND RUN PLAY IS
BECOMING LOST ART

first the play has succeeded in NOV
ing up the base runner.
There is a chance for the ball roll
ing safe, but the double play is alb
solutely eliminated.
But 1t is seldom that one sees the
hit-and-run play worked In this way.
Nowadays tho batter gives the runner
the sign to start. and then he takes a
wallop at the bali Sometimes three
base hit results, on which the runner
could have scored, even IL he had not
started to advance. but more often a
high fly goes up, and when the play
is successful 1t Is because the batter
gets the bali ITO safe territory.
Conceding that baseball has advanc-
ed in many respects, there Is no doubt
that the teams OF few years back
were more adept at the hit-and-ran
game than they are today.
