MT. Andor Kiss, No. 1IS H Clinton Place. Kansas City,
 Mo-, writes: 'I cannot thank you enough for being cured. For seven long years I doctored steadily for my catarrh and cough. which cost me hundreds of dol- lars. But my catarrh grew worse all the time. Even though I was under the treatment of some of the most famous doctors, I still had . terrible cough and thought sometimes that I would choke. could get no air. I then bought a bottle of Peruna, and that evening and all night my wife gave 1t to me according to the directions. and I felt bet ter the following day already. Three days later felt much im- proved, and today. after the use of the fourth bottle, feel en- tirely cured. can conscien- :iously recommend this grand

degree necessary to maintain national stability. Yuan may be right in this
 estimate. The Chinese may indeed be absolutely unfitted to undertake the task of maintaining a popular govern
 ment. but at the same time 1t is hinted that the willy Yuan has other and far more personal reasons for desiring to
 bring about the proposed change. It Is
 not without the bonds of possibility
 that this also may be true. The prtn-
 cipal point of the matter Is that all
 indications point to the outbreak of
 revolution in the event that the re-
 esta blishment of the monarchical form
 of government is attempted and this
 means nothing less than Japan will intervene under the pretext that her extensive interests demand such ac.- tion. Japan would unquestionably like nothing better than an opportunity of this nature, especially at the present time when the hands of the European powers are practically tied by the diff faculties attending the progress of the European war. Given a free hand in
 China and backed by her splendid military equipment, Japan would ob- tain a hold on the nation that could hardly be shaken by the strength of at the conclusion of the present war period and probably for many years afterward. All this would spell nothing less than gradual usurpation of the controlling power by Japan and the gradual merging of the two nations
 nto one under the skillful control of the superior race What such an event 1 uality means to the rest of the world 1
 Is plainly apparent when the aggres- siye and expansive inclinationc of the ! Japanese are taken into consideration. 1 Unless the various powers are able to | ,heck the tendencies of Japan in this 1 it is clearly apparent that the ] future may witness rising otu of the | iecrepit Chinese republic a nation whose monumental strength will eclipse
 hat of the greatest powers of the i world and one that will become a ser ous menace to all nations of alien race
 nd blood.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 4. 1915.

Poor deluded Serbia is bringing to ! the terrific struggle she is making against the overwhelming hosts of enemies surrounding her on every side With an army sacrcely larger than a section of any one of the mighty mili- tary forces now engaging in the giant European combat, the little nation is putting up a struggle for national preservation far more heoric than that of Belgium who fought with the belief that mightier powers were coming to lend their weight to her puny forces. Serbia has kept up the tremendous struggle almost alone and with little hope of aid since the beginning of the war period and through exertions, al- most without a parallel in history, has managed to defend her territorial in- ent Teuton invasion. Now, beset by combination of powers against which she cannot hope to prevail; compelled
 
 to fight both in front and rear and with little hope of help arriving in time to prevent her final dissolution as a national. entity she is still carrying on scribable valor which knows that de- feat is sure.
 While it is probably true that she has deliberately invited her own de- struction, at the same time one cannot help but admire the superlative hero ism displayed in her terrific struggle against overwhelming odds through out the war. Fitting her pigmy army against the hosts of Austria she has for months not only held them at bay but has actually forced them back into their own territory so that at the com- mencement of the present German drive she was fighting her giant neighbor on his own soil. Size and resources considered, this Is most remarkable showing and has won for Serbia the plaudits of the world. Fighting with tremendous energy she has managed to more than hold her own until the present time but now, bereft of hone and with only the most meager possi bility of being saved from final ex- tinction by the allies, she Is rising to the occasion with a courage 80 re- markable that it almost passes belief Long ago she won for herself the laure crown of valor but in her death strug. gle she is rising to a height of hero Ism almost unknown since the day when war was a trade.

While nothing less was to be ex-

Finlayson poses as the oldest man in Alaska, and Is so old that he has forgotten that they know he is 103 years of age, but

 more. Finlayson has been a resident

MORAL TRAINING THE BEST
Attempt to Cure Waywardness by
Surgery Alleged to Be
a Failure.

Few sensible persons will be SUR
prised to learn that a recent surgical
operation performed in the hope of
making decent man out of a GRIM
inal has resulted in failure, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. It is always
possible that the weakness or the dull,
ness of boy or girl may be due to-
some durable physical or mental all
ment, but to presume that mere way
wardness can be reformed by use of
the surgeons knife is to presume too
much on the credulity of human ma
ture.
The truth of the matter is that
these stray lambs need moral training
in their youth and their failure to get
it is handicap that is only too apt to
remain with them through life Moth
ing is more discouraging than the yell
low streak that appears in some per-
sons, and nothing seems more difficult
to eradicate. Their cases should have
the attention of the experts, but we
feel sure that they stand in need of
the punishment that fits the crime
rather than sentimental experiments
on the part of philanthropists who
mean well, but who only encourage
crime by their foolish liberation of
wrongdoing.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Affections and Complaints About
Which So Many Worry Really Don't
Amount to So Much.

We are full of Affections and conf
plants. Our salary is too low, our
rent too high Somebody Of less merit
gets a better job. Our children are
disobedient and extravagant. The
street cars are slow and crowded. The
wheat crop has failed. Cholera gets
the hogs.
Every now and then, however, we
get the real measure of these tribula4
lions. This neighbor is not worrying
much about salary or rent, because the
doctors have told him he must SOON
die. That neighbor finds no fault I'M
his child, because 1t lies dead. The,
poor ventilation of our house seems
quite tolerable in contrast with that
other house where snow beats through
the cracks and there is neither fuel
nor food.
Before such comparisons we are
dumb and contented for day or al
week. So in our national life; how
manifold and poignant are the causes
of complaint-until we look across at
those places in Europe where death,
wounds and beggary are the common
lot!
Then-well, we shall complain asl
often and as bitterly as ever; but we,
shall whistle Hail Columbia" under
our breath while doing it.-Saturdayl
