CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.
JUJISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
St-., Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
“As I have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe ease of catarrh of the head
and throat which I suffered from for a
number of years, I am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
“Catarrh, such as I suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
uras offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that I was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
I tried many so-called remedies, noth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when I’eruna was suggested to me.
“However, I did buy a bottle, and be
fore tliat was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged 1 kept on until I was com*
pfctely cured in a month's time, and I
find that my general health is also ex
cellent.”
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.

Almanac for 1908.
Both Worked Well.
A correspondent sent this “pome”
to the New York Sun: Jack Spratt be
neath his hat concealed a shining
pate; his wife she wore a budding
beard, most foeful to relate. Apothe
cary shops they sought in utterest
despair. “Sure Hair Restorer” Jack
then bought; his wife bought “Anti
Hair.” One night some sprite in dire
delight the bottles did misplace, and
Mrs. Jack applied, alack, Jack's lotion
to her face. While Jack, alack, took
from the rack a bottle on which read:
“Depilatory, Use with Care," and
doused it on his head. Jack Spratt
beneath his hat now sports a lion’s
mane, his wife is happy, for her face

Fish as Brain Food.
A haughty, disdainful sort of physi
cal wreck waltzed up to Capt. Ehlers
the other day and exclaimed;
“Sir! I was advised three years ago
by my physician, the celebrated Dr.
-, that you sold brain food in the
images of fishes. I have diligently
pursued that diet, and do not find that
my mentality has improved a parti
cle! What have you to say about it?”
The jolly, dear old fat captain,
shaking the panes out of his glass cub
byhole, replied: “My friend, fish is
certainly good for the brains if taken

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.
“Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi
tion that he was corfipelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and I hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
“I told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
“It was a struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then it was easy to leave off
eoff«-.e.
“His fearful headaches grew less
freouent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coifee and tak
ing irp Postum. Then I began to
drink it, too.
“Although I was never as bad off
z \ my husband. I was always very
i rvuus and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
1 began to use Postum. Now I weigh
115 ibs. and can do as much work as
arycn-f my size, I think.
“Aiauy do not use Postum because

make it right. I have successfully

Purposes of Gathering of Tobacco
Planters at Hopkinsville Not Re
vealed—Judge Breathitt Threat
ened.
Lousville, Ky.—The raid on Russell
ville, Kv., early Friday morning by
“night riders,” which resulted in the
destruction of nearly $100,000 worth of
property and the wounding of three
persons, the refusal Saturday of the
tobacco growers to accept the propo
sition of the American Tobacco Com
pany for the purchase of tobacco, and
the announced intention of the grow
ers to proceed against the American
Tobacco Company in the courts, fol
lowing Governor Willson’s statement
that the lawless element will be se
verely dealt with, have brought to an
acute stage a condition which has ex
isted in Kentucky and Tennessee for
two years.
Reports coming from the Hopkins
ville region have reached here that
there will be a great gathering of farm
ers in Hopkinsville tomorrow, in the
interest of their organization.
Thousands of members of several
growers’ associations are expected. No
information is given out as to the pur
pose of the assembly.
Judge James Breathitt of Hopkins
ville, Kentucky’s new attorney general,
has received several anonymous let
ters, threatening personal violence, be
cause of the activity he has manifest
ed in endeavoring to discover the iden
tity of members of the “night rider”
band.
Powers’ Gets a Mistrial.
Georgetown, Ky.—The jury in the
fourth trial of Caleb Powers, charged
with complicity in the asassination of
Gov. William Goebel at Frankfort, Jan.

or innocence of the defendant, was
discharged at noon Saturday by Judge
S. Morris, the prisoner remanded to
jail without bail and his fifth trial set
for July 6 next, at a special term of
court in this city. Ten of the jury
held that Powers had not been proved
guilty and two were firm in the belief

Powers’ guilt were Democrats in poli
tics.
Pillsbury’s Appointment Popular.
Washington.—Captain John E. Pills
bury, on duty as a member of the Gen
eral Board of the Navy and Joint Army
and Navy Board, has been selected
by President Roosevelt to succeed

chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Vic
tor H. Metcalf, secretary of the navy,

appointment, which will become defi
nite when ratified by the Senate.
Double Tragedy Enacted.
Oakland, Cal.—James Fenton, a po
liceman, was shot and killed Saturday
in West Oakland by F. A. Boyle, who
said he was a United States sailor sta
tioned at Mare Island. Thomas Shields,
of West Oakland, grappled with Boyle,

er after Boyle had attempted to shoot
him. Bovle died later at the receiv

Japanese Soldiers Recalled to Japan.
Vancouver, B. C.—Many Japanese
reserve army men have been ordered
to Tokio, according to a report curent
here. The Japanese refuse to discuss
the question, but it cannot be denied
that several hundred men have arrived
from the south side of the internation
al boundary line and are making ready
to leave for Japan.
Rent Riots in New York City.
New York.—Incipient rent riots
broke out on the East Side Saturday
as a result of the tension between the
landlords and the striking tenants, and
before the disorders were quelled by
police reserves, many combatants were
injured and five were arrested.
Vesuvius Again Active.
Naples.—Mount Vesuvius, after a
month or more of comparative quiet,
has again resumed great activity, a
huge column of flames and smoke is
arising from large fissures at the sum
mit of the crater.
800 Quarts of Explosive.
Muncie, Ind.—The greatest excite
ment spread throughout this city Sat
urday evening when, following the
proclamation of martial law by Gov.
Hanly in order that strike disturbances
might be quelled, a rumor reached
military officers in command to the ef
fect that a magazine gun of the Du
pont Powder Company on the Lake
Erie and Western railroad, between
this city and Portland, had been robbed
of 800 quarts of glycerine, and that
there were indications that the ex
plosive had been brought to this city.
$100,000 Fire at St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo.—Two large buildings
constructed by the William J. Lemp
Brewing Company, as ice houses, but
utilized as warehouses, burned early
Sunday, entailing a loss estimated at
$100,000. Both buildings were filled
with new bottles and packing material.
Stabs Wife to the Heart.
Easton, Pa.—Frank Smith, son o*
City Controller Chester Smith, Sat
urday murdered his wife with a butch
er knife and then attempted to com
mit suicide.
ENDED THE BIBLE READING.
Beginner Resented Wife’s Enjoyment
of His Mistake.
A Kansas City man, who had fol
lowed stock quotations, football scores
and race form sheets more closely
than he had religious and literary mat
ters, recently was persuaded by his
wife to read aloud each evening from
the Old Testament to improve the
knowledge of both on Biblical matters.
The man became interested in the
story of the scriptures and read aloud
several evenings with great gusto and
pleasure. One night as he was swing
ing along he read: "And they horse
whipped the beasts.”
“Hold on!” exclaimed his wife.
“What was that?”
“They horsewhipped the beasts,” he
repeated, and continued reading. His
wife got up from her sewing, crossed
the room, looked over his shoulder and
read:
“ ‘They worshiped the beasts.’
“There,” she said, “I knew the word^
horsewhipped was not in the Bible.
He! He!”
The man closed the Bible with a
snap, clasped the snap, and that con
cluded the readings for all time.

DOCTOR SAID “USE CUTICURA”
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child—
Disease Had Reached a Fearful
State—His Order Resulted
in Complete Cure.
“When I was small I was troubled
with eczema for about three months.
It was all over my face and covered
nearly all of my head. It reached
such a state that it was just a large
scab all over, and the pain and itching
were terrible. I doctored with an able
physician for some time and was then
advised by him to use the Cuticura
Remedies which I did and I was en
tirely cured. I have not been bothered
with it since. I used Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment but do not
know exactly how much was used to
complete the cure. I can safely say
that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss
Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich.,

And the Judge Stopped Smiling.
One day a celebrated advocate was
arguing before a very rude old Scotch
judge, who pointed with one forefinger
to one of his ears, and with the other
to the opposite one. “You see this,
Mr. X?” “I do, my lord,” said the ad
vocate. “Well, is just goes in here
and comes out there,” and his lordship
smiled with the hilarity of a judge
who thinks he has actually said a good
thing. “I don't doubt it, my lord,” re
plied the advocate; “what is there to
prevent It?”
It Will Stay There.
“In my family medicine chest no
remedy is permitted to remain unless
it proves beyond a doubt the best to
be obtained for its particular purpose.
For treating all manner of skin trou
bles, such as Eczema, Tetter, Ring
worm, etc.. Hunt's Cure has held its
place for many years. I have failed
to find a surer remedy. It cures itch
ing instantly.”

Why Sloan’s Liniment and Veterinary
Remedies Are the Best to Use.
Let me tell you why Slojn's Lini
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day. In the first place, Dr.
Earl S. Sloan Is the son of a veterin
ary surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as a vet
erinary for 20 years and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of
experiments made to save life or re
lievo suffering while he was practic
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to Dr. Earl
S. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass., will receive “Sloan’s Treatise

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dla
eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness la caused by an Inflamed condition of tho
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, heartDg will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Hughes of New Jersey asked Senator
Taylor about his musical accomplish

“Haven’t played a fiddle for a dozen
years,” said the Tennesseean. “That
