HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
THIS IS WORTE READING

The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 1888 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
| would catch cold and become so
hoarse I could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time had
used three-fourths Of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

eral stations at widely separated TO-
cations. One message in particular
was peculiarly designed to add to the
enemy's suspicion of the approaching
trouble-an imperative demand for POO
copies more additional of the Contains
sheet, 'plan dirccteur map" This
could only be Interpreted by the Ger
mans, the Americans agreed, as prepa-
ration for coming drive on the Briey
iron center.
In addition to the wireless the "X
army also had in operation, on the
front between Bezonaux and Fresnes
a telephone squad-a careless squad
which set up telephone stations here
and there and sent messages and
talked shop and gossiped all night
about the arrival of some old friends
from America with such and such an
outfit.
The "X" army telephone squad took
no chances that the Germans might
not hear the conversations the Amer
leans desired them to record. They
deliberately grounded their wires, so
the enemy could 'listen in and
crawled out into No Mans Land in
the darkness and hooked one Of the
American wires on a German barbed
wire in front of an abandoned trench
system. In the front line of modern
warfare the telephone is most dan
gerOus instrument, for both sides de-
vised apparatus which within certain
limits could pick up conversations
over enemy lines with which it was
not even connected. So the Ameri-
cans felt certain that all their conver-
sations were heard by the Germans.
Get Results at Once.
Two DAYS after the ''X army began
it's operations the results began to be
noticeable, the nervousness on the
part of the Germans being exhibited in
many ways, the enemy first sending
over a large number of airplanes to
make recOnnOissances. The Germans
also began series of trench raids to
obtain prisoners for the purpose Of
identifying units of the forces OppO-
site them. German prisoners captured
by the French told of wild alarms in
the night on the part of the German
forces, hurried reinforcement of the
main line of resistance, and various
other movements which indicated that
the enemy was eXerting extreme
watchfuIness on account of the activ-
ity of the "army" operated by hand
full of Americans.
When the armistice became effec-
tive on November II the little Ameri-
can "X army" still held its ground
in the field near Verdun, and opposite
it's supposed position five crack Ger
man divisions stood their guard, not
even suspecting that they had been
tricked by a few ingenious young
Yankees who were delighted at the re-
suits obtained by their mischievous
schemes, which had worked so success
fully in deceiving the wise German
veterans of five years war.

This was followed by a series of

WOMEN ARE HELP IN
FINLAND POLITICS

Having thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon, it is small
wonder that the wOman's movement
soon found many active supporters.
In 1868 the diet had accorded the mu-
nlcipal vote to woman taxpayers living
in the country and in 1872 to women
living in the towns, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected
members of certain local self-govern-
ing bodies. In 1900 the woman social
democrats included the suffrage in
their program, but the special activity
for the suffrage began only in the year
1904 although in 1897 a petition had
been officially presented to the diet at
the request of the Finnish WOman's
association.
"The reason why so little was done
in direct furtherance of the cause of
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 is that just at that time
Finland was passing through a severe
political crisis.

ing to manage the details of the strike
were women.
'"The first action taken by the com
mittee was to close ALL the liquor
shops, saloons and barrOOms and to
organize a volunteer police force tC
keep order. After the second day
the markets were reopened and the
strikers were not allowed to cut of
the water supply. In short, the strike
was managed in a most orderly and
systematic way and no Outrages OF
any sort were committed.
During the course of the strike nu
merOus deputatiOnS were sent with pc
titiOns to the governor general, anC
in each deputatiOh there were women
members. Thus, even in moments OF
grave political danger and at times
when the utmost moderation and fore
sight were needed, the Firms were not
afraid to trust their women.
1.-THE very great interest that the
women took in the elections may be
gathered from the fact that in He:sing,
fors, the capital, at the time Of the
second elections Gin 1909, there were
19,640 woman voters and 1876 mer
voters registered. 1t is true that the

Geographic society.
This new member of the family of
free nations is described in a com
municatiOn to the society by Baroness
Alletta KOrff as follows:
'FrOm an educational point Of view
the women in Finland have been very
fortunate, as there are many excellent
schools for girls and number Of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations.
Girls Admitted in 1873.
"Girls were admitted to the univer-
sity in 1873 and, until the war inter
vened, they not only attended lectures
but took part in all branches of uni
versity life; they participated in all
the celebrations and festivities, and
were members of the various. clubs
and student organizations, in which
they were on a footing of perfect
equality with the men and frequently
were elected to various official posi-
tions. After they were graduated from
one of the several high schools or from
the university there were many
branches of work open to them.
"They became teachers, even in the
state school for boys; cashiers or
bOokkeepers in banks, clerks in state
archives and in many branches Of the
civic administration. -
"There are really not enough edu-
Gated men to meet the requirements of
the country, and consequently the CO.
operation Of the women is a matter
of vital importance. 1t not infrequent-
ly happened, in normal times, that
even married women in comparatively
gOO1 circumstances, sought employ
ment outside their homes.

ChiIdren'S Parties.

Along with Thanksgiving and the
holidays come childrRn's parties. The
youngsters are entitled to good times
during their vacations and it takes
only small effort and outlay to make
a party for the little folks a brilliant
success. Instead of the florist one may
patroniZe the paper department in
the shops for decorations, and for
favors there are the little toys, birds,
animals. dolls, etc, that delight the
guests and cost next to nothing.
PastebOard and tissue paper will do
marvellous things for the children's
party.
Mother Goose stories furnish fund
of suggestions that delight the small
people who are familiar with them.
"Goldilocks and the Three Bears"
may give party. for instance, with
three children dressed up to repre-
sent the bears. Little homemade
Teddy bears for favOrs, and candy
bears on the cake will make the party
memorable. "Red Riding Hood and
Wolf" could give party and IN
basket of red apples, each apple hol-
lowed out a little, tiny toys or trinkets
will surprise the guests. Mr.. Squir-
rel. at his party, will have English wal
nuts. each containing something unex-
nected and cake hat is covered and
filled with nuts. Center pieces for the
table will suggest themselves to the
grOwn-ups.
Home made candies are best for
little people. Butter scotch, fudge,
peanut brittle and glace nuts and fruits
make up a heavenly and harmless COL
lection of these. Following are re-
tincs fCr waking them:

there is no partisanship in this
matter or politics in any way,
for a federal court here is of
benefit to everyone, but the fact
remains that Capt. King Swope,
who is the opponent of Judge
Hardin, while nominally having
hiS home at Danville, has been
practicing law in Lexington for
several years and really residing
there. Friends of Judge Hardin
point out that it might be well
to consider this question as to
whether Capt. Swope's entire
sympathies would be enlisted in
keeping the federal court at
Richmond or establishing one at
Lexington, the home of his
adoption.
