the intervening short space of time his face has
become the most familiar on movie screens the
world over. 1t is safe to say that no greatNman,
whether general, statesman, explorer, or writer,
ever gained so wide an acquaintance among the
people of this planet in so brief time. There may
be other movie actors who will duplicate this
achievement even surpass it, but the corpulent,
comical Bunny was the pioneer

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATHARRH
Easy to Make and Costs Little

If you have catarrh don't be misled
or gulled into believing you can obtain
a cure for your trouble by breathing q
simple medicated air.
Catarrh is constitutional disease and
inhalers. sprays and nose douches mere
ly temporize with the disease and sell
dom, if ever, bring any lasting benefit.
To effect cure use remedy that will
drive the disease out of your system.
Don't employ remedy that will drive
the disease down into your lungs and
bronchial tubes. Such methods often
lead to consumption. and frequently pro-
duce catarrhal deafness and head noises.
If you have catarrh in any form 90 to
your druggist and get one ounce of Par
mint Double Strength, take this home
and add to it Il pint of hot water and
4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until
dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four
times a day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the most miserable headache, dullness,
sneezing, sore throat, running of the
nose, catarrhal discharges, head noises
and other loathsome symptoms that al
ways accompany this disgusting disease.
Loss of smell, defective hearing and
mueus dropping in the back of the
throat are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrh and which may
be overcome by the use of this simple
treatment. Every person who has ca
tarrh should give this prescription a
trial. There is nothing better-Adv.

A PLEA FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

People who have fresh in their minds the narrow
escape from flames of As little children a few
weeks ago when the Nursery Home, at Third street
and Reels Lane, burned down; and who more
recently read of three fires in one week in the
Children's Industrial Home, Nineteenth and Swa
tara streets, which traced directly to the use
of matches in the building, will be in entire sym
pathy with the efforts of the board of managers of
the latter institution to raise $500 to install electric
lights in the place of gas throughout the Home.
There have been other fires in the Industrial
Home attributed to the necessary presence of
matches there and the fact that it has been found
practically impossible, under the present plan, to
prevent children from getting hold of the matches
at one time or another. By good luck and constant
watchfulness on the part of the Home employees
there has been no panic or serious damage to the
building but the members of the board of managers
say there will be constant source of danger to the
13O little inmates-rangng in ages from two years
up-unt matches eliminated. This they say,
cannot be until electric lights are installed
The plea for extra contributions to accomplish
this made necessary from the fact that it is only
with difficulty that the Home is able to make both
ends meet in paying the current expenses from the
regular moneys now available, due to the high cost
of food and of other necessities.
When it is thought that repetition of one of
the frequent fires of the past might result in the
loss of lives of helpless little children or the de-
struction of the building it should not be necessary
to say anything more to induce the public to re-
spond literally with subscriptions for the fund that
is to eliminate matches.
Contributions will be received at the offices of
the daily newspapers may be sent to the treas
urer of the Homes board of managers, Miss Agnes
Felix, 10 North Market Square.

vare,s Small Son Has Grit

Senator Ware, of Philadelphia, has
plucky little son of eight years who
distinguished himself at the recent big
horse show in that city. The lad was
riding a fractions pony, trifle larger
than Newfoundland dog, black as a
coal and full of life, which had been
entered for the prize in its class. Just
as the ponies were lined up the one
ridden by George, I'd, began its tam
trums, and despite the efforts of the
rider to hold on and conquer the pony
it threw him. At once the little fellow
jumped to his feet, dashed after the
pony captured it and remounting the
ugly little beast succeeded in subduing
it and riding it to victory and the first
prize. 1t was an exhibition of Ware
pluck which was exceedingly crafty
ing to the Senator.

DYSPEPSIA overcome
Tone Up the Stomach With Hoods
sarsaparilla

When you have dyspepsia your life
is miserable. You have bad taste
in your mouth, tenderness at the pit
of your stomach, a feeling of puffy
fullness, headache, heartburn, and some
times nausea.
Dyspepsia is difficult digestion
that is what the word means-and the
only way to get rid of it is to give
vigor and tone to the stomach and the
whole-.digestive system. Hoods Sar-
saparilla, sold by all druggists, is the
one medicine which acts on the stomach
through the blood and also directly. Its
beneficial effects are felt at once. I'M
provement begins Immediately.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies the
blood, makes the rich red blood that
is needed for perfect digestion. and
builds up the whole system. No other
medicine can take its place.-Adv.

THE PASSING OF JOHN BUNNY

The man whose face is more familiar than any
other to the movie patrons of the world and that
is large percentage of the world S population, =
is dead.
Not the war lord in helmet and military cloak
and upright mustache, nor the executive of the
greatest republic, nor the vigorous defendant in
the big libel suit of the day, nor the dscoverer of
pole, yet the writer of the most popular cur
rent 6ction,-but funny John Bunny.
Mr.. Bunny may be considered the first famous
man in his particular field, and the forerunner of
many famous in that field. He gained
renown not by dealing with politics, science or
literature, but by making grimaces and assuming
ridiculously comca attitudes in front of the movie
cameras.
No face has ever been more truly mans for
tune than John Bunny's. 1t was not handsome
face, or rather it is not handsome face for even
though the actual features are calm in DEATH the
reproductions of them cannot be forgotten.
When Bunny in his early days as a clerk was
told by his employer that he was "good for nothing
but making faces he could not have realized at
the time how very valuable an ability that really
was, an ability which was to earn for him larger
annual salary than that of the President of the
United States.
1t was not until five years ago that John Bunny
