A BUSINESS MAN or MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis is a city where they
do things. Stimulated by vigorous
climate, surrounded by a fertile
country, peopled by the best blood
OF the over crowded east, it is a city
OF hustle, of great achievements
conceived and wrought out.
Mr.. Taylor. Of Minneapolis. Mimi.
is one Of this sort of men. A news
paper man. A political worker. An
Englishman by birth. He has been
in this country nineteen years. He
has resided IN the northwest, Win
nipeg. Fargo, and for the last ten
years in Minneapolis. Z
Mr.. Taylor is friend Of Peruna
and does not conceal his friendship.
He is thoroughly enthused with the
belief that Peruna is great remedy.
He has right to feel so. For several
years he suffered with dyspepsia.
This caused him to have very bad
health.
Newspaper advertisements would
never have Influenced him to take
Peruna. 1t was friends that per-
suaded him to try the remedy. In
less than a week he needed no more
persuasion. He saw that Peruna
was doing him sood. He Is able to
say in a letter to the Peruna Com

Error Is not a fault Of our knowl-
edge, but q mistake Of our judgment
It is almost as difficult to make man
unlearn his errors as his knowledge.
MaIinformation Is more hopeless than
noninformaton, for error Is always
more hopeless than ignorance.
Ignorance Is q blank sheet on which
we may write, but error is a scribbled
one from which we must first erase.
Ignorance Is contented to stand still
with her back to the truth, but error
Is more presumptuous and proceeds In
the wrong direction. Ignorance has no
light, but error has farther TO go be-
fore she can arrive at truth than has
ignorance,
So that these mail order traders may
not plead ignorance In extenuaton OF
their offense we give below q cate
goricai List Of things which the mall
order houses do not do. We trust they
viii prove eye openers 10 the unwise.

FROM THE TOMB.

That peace on earth can only be re- stored when the people rise up in their pawI of strength and demand peace. Is the declaration of the late Pope Plus K It came at the time when his heart was heavy with the burden of war.
 Frequently here ia the United States as the termination of the pres ent war is speoulated on, we hear the prediction: "The war will continue until some terrible conflict is fought in which hundreds of thousands of men are slain, and from which rivers of blood will flow. Then some de iscriptive genius will describe that battle, the world will be mortified, and peace will follow"
 How near such prophecy for the future is the following from the late Pope:
 Today peace or war in society and the state does not depend so much on the rulers as on the multitudes. De, prived of the light of truth revealed by God, unused to the discipline of Christ, waat wonder if the multitude, the prey of blind passions, rush to the common ruin lastigated by clever agitators who seek nothing but their own advantage.r
 In brief that is the situation. The people are stirred by patriotism. Al leged wrongs are manifested before their eyes. Their battle hymns are dinned into their ears They are mar, shalled into fighting line almost be. fore they know why. They will be kept stirred with a spirit of war until that condition is offset in the horror of some great conflict

 THE PHILIPPINES
IS PUSHED FORWARD ANOTHER STEP BY HOUSE COMMITTEE
 ON lNSULAR AFFAIRS.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Another stel toward giving the Philippines inde pendence was taken in congress today when the house committee on insular affairs fayorably reported the Jones bill, which would declare definitely for the first time the purposes of the American people as to the future political status of the islands.
 Representative Jones of Virginia chairman of the committee. announced his purpose to press the measure for consideration at this session.
 A new feature of the bill is de- signed to meet the commercial paraly- sis of the archipelago resulting from the European war. At present al tariff and internal revenue tax law from the Philippines are enacted by congress. The proposed law would expressly confer on the Philippines legislature the right to enact all tariff laws, except those affecting trade re- lations between the United States and the Philippines.
 The bill declares the purpose oi tho people of the United States 10 srant the Philippines complete inde pendence as soon as they establish a stable government" Representative Jones said today. ITO better fit them to govern themselves. the bill gives them a larger measure of participd ton in the governmental affairs of the isiand."

Has Been Lifted by Railways and
 Rush of Shipments.
 New Orleans La, Aug. 20.-Early lifting of the embargo declared " the Illinois Central railway against shipment of grain to this port due to coagestod conditions here, Is be- lieved here to be presagod by an or der issued by the road today directing the movement of all ears of grain now on it's tracks at points north of Memphis, Tenn. It was stated that the order would mean the shipment here immediately of 1.000,000 bushels of wheat which had been loaded at the time the embargo was issued
 Export oi wheat to Europe tempo rarily curtailed by the outbreak of the war, has been partially resumed. Today two British and one Spanish steamer cleared from here for French ports with careoes of wheat totalling 800.000 bushels. Other vessels are now loading wheat. The Belgian con- sul general here announced today that he had been officially advised that his government would guarantee drafts for wheat drawn on Antwerp firms in addition to assuming the war risk for shipment

BLACK POPE" DEAD.
Father Francis Xavier Wernz Sue
 cumbs to Diabetes.

Rome, Aug. 20.-11:30 am. via Paris, 9:l5 p.m-Father Francis Xavier Wernz. known as The Black Pope, died early this morning from diabetes. His fatal illness was su- perinduced by his anxiety over the war. He had constantly prayed that victory should rest on the Austro- German arms but he was equally anxious as to the fate of the Jesuits in France, Germany and Austria.
 Father Wernz was general of the Society of Jesus, and it is consid- cred doubtful whether a conclaye for the election Of his successor can be held during the war, as the provin. cials of the different countries must come to Rome for that purpose. This would be exceedingly difficult as they do not enjoy the same privileges as the cardinals.
