Notwithstanding the proposed in

a means of providing revenue for the
strengthening of Japan's naval forces,
naval authorities are quoted as having
pointed out that the war has shifted

competition from Europe to the Paci-

THE war ONE LADY FEELS AFTER
SUFFERING TWO YEARS

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. f. ID. No. 1,
Box LA, Dillon, S. c., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
of PE-EU-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: 81 suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
stomach and bowels. Tried two of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
I then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfully say I am well. When /

one hundred pounds. My weight
now is one hundred and fifty. /
Cannot praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
/ got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
I 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, rlleu-
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.

almost unanimously the plan for a

Gatherings have been held now in con-

of which must be given chance to
express themselves. There are a few
which failed to file petitions for hear

now that the season is to be closed
this fall to mink and muskrats, and
that deer hunters will be limited to a
single buck for the season. Some

Ohio Governor Named for PreSi-

Fourth Ballot.
PALMERQUITS CONTEST
Attorney General Releases All Dele

Choice-Cox and McAdoo
Battle To Finish.

San rancisco-James M. Cox,
governor of Ohio, was nominated
for president of the United States
in the Democratic National con-
vention at 1:4o o'clock a. m. The
nomination came at the conclusion
Of a 44ballot struggle, In which he
had steadily beaten down the
forces of William G. McAdoo, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury,
and President Wilson's son-in-laW.
When the baIIoting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to point
where Cox had 702 votes and was
rapidly approaching the necessary
two-thirds of 729, Sam 3. Amiden
of Kansas, manager of the Nc
Adoo forces and vice chairman OF
the Democratic National commit
tee, took the platform and moved
that the nomination of Governor
Cox be made unanimous. I'M
mediately there was roar from
the tired and worn delegates
which lasted for a full four min
utes before Chairman Robinson
could put the question on Ami
don's motion to suspend the rules
= and nominate Cox by reclamation.
At 1:43 o'clock a. n. the mo-
ton was formally voted over with
a rolling chorus of ayes and the
crashing of the brass bands.
State standards which had
surged back and forth in the
desperate battles of the deadlock
raced to the front of the hall and
to a place before the platform.
The convention adjourned for
twelve hours.

cured in the neighborhood Of $14 and

While the Mexican. in the party,
stood guard without, the other three
entered the depot office, looted the

leeed. As soon as the men were

started out on run down the road
