Cannot Praise this
Remedy too Highly
THE WAY ONE LADY FEELS AFTEa
SUFFERING TWO YEAES

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. f. d. No. 1,
Box 144, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it is: al suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two of
the best doctors, who gave me UP.
l then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfully say | am well. When I
began to use PE-RU-NA, weighed
one hundred pounds. My weight
now is one hundred and fifty. I
cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was Godsend to me.
I got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
l advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA."
AS an emergency remedy in the
home, there is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for coughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu-
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any,
where in either tablet or liquid
form.

Don't Store Cotton on the Ground

Regional Director, B. l.. Win
chell, the loss sustained from stor-
ing cotton on the ground, among
other things. says:
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through improper storage of
cotton. This has been known in a
general way for long time by every
body interested in cotton, but prob
ably very few of us have even sus-
pected what a tremendous factor
storage is in the trade or the as
founding lot of money thrown away
by the individual owner who lets a
bale of cotton stay on the ground.
While the grower and handler of
cotton are most vitality interested
and will benefit chiefly by needing
the warning given by these facts.
he railroads also are concerned
directly. because of the liability OF
claims arising from damaged cot
ton. and indirectly because the in
terests Of great class of producers
and shippers and the interests of the
railroad are common"
The several tests that were made
with bales of cotton indifferently
stored or cared for disclosed a vary
ing loss per bale of from 4 to 65
pounds.

FINE "GRIDIRoN" AT coBLENz
American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
Every Kind Of Sport.

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz, Germany. for the footbrll sea-
son. Grounds and stadiums which were
only partly finished year ago have
been made permanent playing fields,
and many Of them compare favorably
with the best college gridirons In the
United States.
The most deliberately finished ground
is In Coblenz, known as Carnival Is
land" 1t was on this ground that the
Third army championships were de-
cided last season, but the ground at
that time was not In as good con-
dition as It is today. Neither were
there proper facilities, such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
ular baseball fields, two football fields,
a golf course Of nine holes, polo
ground, a Quarter-mile cinder track,
with 220 yard straightaway, and out
door basketball courts. On another
part is ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are large number Of prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers. rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but
at Andernach, Montabaur, and Neu-
wied the old grounds left by the A. E.
F. have been taken over by the Y. NJ.
O. A. and enlarged and remade In
every particular.

PROBABLY THOUGHT A LOT

There Was Nothing the Actor

had genius for advertising his theat-
rical enterprises, used to tell story
about an English actor-manager's at
tempt to follow his example.
my conferee," Mr. Hammerstein
would say, twas having new thea
ter built In London. Casting about
for some good way to advertise 1t, he
decided that an admirable scheme
would be to have the workmen while
excavating for the foundation come
across Roman antiquities. So he stole
down to the operation at dead of night
and deposited number Of costly, gen.
uine Roman antiquities just below the
surface Of the spot being excavated.
'"rhe next morning he arrived in
haste to hear the news Of the great
find and report 1t to the journals See
ing that the men had already dug well
below his hidden treasure, he said:
"'Good morning, foreman. Any
thing interesting this morningr
"'No, sir, not a thing, SIR the fore
man answered.
The actor-manager looked at the
bulging pockets of the workmen and
said nothing. What could he say?"

FEW SEE SECOND cENTUEf
Not Many Claiming to BE Over Or
Hundred Years Of Age Can
Prove IL

Sea serpents being out Of date. and
wild men" somewhat exhausted Of
interest, there comes the recent story
of q Kentucky man who celebrated the
181st anniversary of his birth by taking
his frst motor car ride.
When report of this sort is In
vestigated It usually LIS found to lack
proof.
Some years ago, at a meeting Of the
Actuarial Society Of America, It's
president, John Il. Gore, said: .sThe
well-known cases Of individuals COM
monty believed to have lived a century
and a quarter and even much longer
have not In any instance been veri-
fed"
There IL usually temptation to sexag-
gerate the age Of extremely old per-
sons; often they do 1t themselves. Not
very long ago man In England, inter-
ested in the study of human longevity,
offered 5000 to any man or woman
living at the time who could prove
that he or she was 100 years old or
more. There were hundreds of claim
ants, but In no case was irrefragable
proof submitted.
In point Of longevity, women are far
ahead of men. generally speaking.
They are more resistant to diseases
and they live longer. And yet women
are called the weaker SEX" So they
are. muscularly. but 1t is manifest that
they are the stronger sex constitutions
ally. They possess what biologists
term greater "viability"-a superior
ability to survive.

REMINISCENT OF OTHER DAYS
century-oId Building In Providence.
Rhode Island, is Survival Of
NapoieonIe Era

A recent incident in Providence.
Rhode Island, calls attention to an
old landmark reminiscent of Napo
leon and his construction Of the Mad
eleine in Paris. Napoleon's building
set little fashion in America, and
several structures more or less like II
were built In different cities. The Ar
cade building. In Providence. is the
only one OF them left. Erected about
1870, 1t became an Ionic temple, that
was also a center of retail trade. and
its pillars remain today the largest
monoliths in the country. except those
which have been raised for the grow
ing Cathedral of st. John the Divine,
In New York. The record tells how
they were cut by hand. In the town Of
Johnston. and dragged to Providence
on sleds, nearly hundred years ago.
1t tells also that the dedication of the
building was grand public affair. and
that the temple was long held to bf
one OF the architectural wonders OF
the United States. 1t is not of such
commercial Importance as It used te
be. but one may be glad that the city
has not lost such q reminder Of thS
Napoleonic era.

ScaW Fell Pike.

Scaw Fell Pike, Cumberland's
mountain summit, Is to he the prop-
erty Of Englishmen IN perpetuity. The
highest hill of England is the very
noble gift made by Lord Leconfield
to the men Of Cumbria who fought in
the war, and as a token Of gratitude
to those who gave their lives for the
cause Of the worlds liberty. Truly
a gift in the spirit of Ruskin and one
which causes the Manchester Guard
ian to utter deepest appreciation-a
gift, it says, through which "even we
common people may get momentary
entry into the ecstasies of the poets
and see the earth and everything in
1t mystically appareled with the glory
and the freshness Of dream" Scaw
Fell Pike has the venerable distinction
Of being among the most ancient
mountains Of Europe, outdistancIng
the Alps in point Of years.

MORGAN NOT ALWAYS HARD
Great Flnancier Proved He Had Kindly
Heart az We'll az Keen
Business Mind.

There Is no better test Of mans
bigness than his way of handling sub
ordInates who make mistakes.
J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, had a
clerk who. living beyond his means,
sought to make up the balance through
speculation and, having failed. helped
himself to the firms money.
The culprit was called into Mr.. Nor
gan's private Office.
He expected arrest. Instead he was
told to 60 home and tell his wife all
about it. "And tomorrow morning"
said Mr.. Morgan, 'see me again"
The clerk obeyed, and Mr.. Morgan,
to the young fellows amazement
handed him in bills the full amount Of
his peculation - Sc, 400 with: Put
that back where you took the other
from. It Is loan from me, and ex-
pect you to return 1t as soon as you
can. None of the other clerks know
anything about 1t. Let me see If you
can't be man."
After many months the youngster
restored to Mr.. Morgan the last dollar
Of the debt.
After counting the pile Of bills on
his desk. to which he had added those
Just given him, Mr.. Morgan observed: !:
swell, my boy, It was a bit harder
saving 1t than losing 1t. I'll warrant.
Now take 1t home and give It to your
wife. It's safe bet that she saved
most Of it."-Boston Post

GREAT is FROSTY MORNING
Health Giving Air Seems TO Bring New
Life and Hope to Souls Of
Men and Women.

After. gloomy days. the frosty morn
ing comes as a benediction. It seems
to put new life and new hope and new
aspirations into the souls Of men and
women, remarks the Columbus Dis
patch.
Not long ago there was a nasty
week. Clouds and moisture-and de-
preston The sun was all but forgot
ten, for If 1t showed itself at all, it
was with sickly fieeting glow. The
muscles became fiabby from the warm
temperature; dispositions took on the
nature Of the weather. There was no
elasticity in the step, no mirth in the
voice, a slow, dull, listless tiredness
took hold Of people. And then came
the frosty morning. One did not have
to have eyes to know that the sun
was shining, nor ears to hear the mu-
sic of attuned Nature.
A hundred years were saved right
here In the city in the Quickened pace
of the people. A thousand horsepower
was added TO the strength Of the la
borers. The good resolutions that were
made would fill a library-and the
inspirations that came to those who
breathed deeply of the frost-ladened
air will keep the world a-going for
another season. Great are the bless
ings of God scintillating from every
crystal; divine music borne upon the
wings Of the health-giving air.

WHERE EAST AND WEST MEET


Young Chinese girls In San Fran
cisco's Chinatown offer the most strik-
ing examples Of the meeting Of the
East and West Physically and men,
tally they show the two opposite infiu-
ences under which they live. says the
Christian Science Monitor. Their con-
versation is curious mixture of
English and Chinese. In their homes
they speak Chinese. but by the time
they reach fifteen or sixteen they know
English better than their mother
tongue.
Among the families who can af-
ford to do so. the girls are sent to
some teacher Of Chinese to be taught
to read and write their mother
tongue. outside of school hours. For
the fathers and the mothers have
wfstful hope Of returning some day
to China. and 1t would never do If
the children were instructed only In
a foreign tongue.
The life of q Chinese girl is not
altogether simple. In the poorer and
more ignorant families the parents are
often filed with superstition and preju-
dice against the education of women.
In spite Of the many obstacles. how
ever. they usually manage to get In
touch with some Of the advantages Of
fered In their quarters. being aided by
social settlement workers of China

Island Of Afognak, on South Coast +,
Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for
the Purpose.

One Of the most picturesquely ir
teresting parts Of our national do
main is large island Off the soutl
coast Of Alaska. 1t is called Afognak
and is about 65 miles long by 40 In
width. with very irregular shore line
and deeply indented by bays.
1t is the property of the government,
and in 1892 was set aside by President
Harrison as game and fish reserve
The important purpose that IT serves
Is that Of preserve for salmon, all
the finest varieties of which run up its
stream in great numbers at the breed
ing season to spawn.
Afognak Is mountainous island.
OF volcanic origin. its loftiest peak
rising to an elevation Of 1900 feet.
In the interior are a number Of large
lakes, which are the breeding
grounds Of the salmon. One Of
these. Letnik lake, is seven miles long.
and on its shore is located a big gov
arnment fish hatchery.
In the days of long ago. before the
United States bought Alaska, the sal
mon fishery Of Afognak was operated
BY the Russian-American company.
which established on the island a col
ony Of it's superannuated and pensioned
employees. These were Aleuts, whose
descendants today compose the native
population, somewhat more than 400,

YPREs A BIG SOUVENIR SHOP
Virtually the cIty's Sole Industry Now
Is the Getting Of Money
From Tourists.

The future of Ypres is still uncer-
tain. No one knows at present to
what extent the town will be rebuilt as
1t was. All that Is certain is that the
former population of some 1900 souls
are now for the most part at Paris

most of them are anxious to return

There are more than a thousand
people living In Ypres today, but these
are mainly Adventures from Brussels
and elsewhere, who have been attract
ed by the chance Of making money out
Of visitors. says the London Times. A
new Ypres is rising among the ruins
of the old, but 1t is a wooden Ypres,
Of a character altogether repulsive to
all who realize that quarter of mil
lion lives were given to defend the
salient which takes its name from the
town.
The new Ypres Is a place of cafes
and restaurants, of mobs Of picture
postcard hawkers. of pleasure wagons
and omnibuses, of souvenir hunters
and noise. There Is a sO-called Brit
ish tavern" In the grand palace itself,
and the road to the Menin gate is lined
with places of refreshment. In the
town and its vicinity there are 1876
cafes and restaurants. and everywhere
among the tumbled heaps Of brick and
plaster. stone and girders men are ea-
gerly hammering and building to In

adjacent buildings will be left as they
