ITon David Mcekison is well known not only in his own State but throughout
America Ho begun his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor
of the town in which ho lives during which time he became widely known as the
founder of the Mcekison Bank of Napoleon Ohio Ho was elected to the Fifty fifth
Congress by a very large majority and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of tho State
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman
Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp was his only uncon
quered foe For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal
enctnv At last Peruun came to the rescue and he dictated the following letter to
Dr Hartman as the result
have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited
thereby from my catarrh or the head I feel encouraged to believe that if
use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of
thirty years standing David Mcekison ex member of Congress
season of catching cold is upon
THE The cough and tho sneeze and
nasal twang are to be beard on every
hand The origin of chronic catarrh the
most common and dreadful of lliseascs is
a cold
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
erally begins A person catches cold
which bangs on longer than usual The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat Then follows seusitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly more or less
dischaige from the nose hawking spit
ting frequent clearing of the throat nos
trils stopped up full feeling in tho head
and sore inflamed throat
Tho best iinio to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used never fails o cure a common
cold thus pi eventing chronic catarrh
While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna yet as a rule when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure
Peruna has cured cases innumerable
of catarrh of twenty years standing
It is the best if not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh in existence
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almc Jt certain to end in chronic
catarrh

It is a good idea to put a little shot
in the bottom of tall vases Then they
are not so liable to be knocked over
by careless hands
When cleaning the bars of a new
or rough stove ir they are first rubbed
over with a cloth dipped in vinegar
and water the blacklead will be found
to adhere and a brilliant polish will
be the result
The bars of a grate often have a
burned appearance which prevents
their taking a good polish This diffi
culty is soon overcome Before apply
ing the black lead rub the bars with
a piece of lemon and they will be quite
easy to polish well afterward
Bacon rinds can be utilized many
ways so do not throw them in the gar

Parisian Touches
The fashion of wearing lace in con
junction with the heaviest fur is of
Parisian origin The leading furriers
there are mixing guipure in widt
bands alternating with fur and one
of the newest models is a skirt com
posed of flounces of sable alternating
with bands of Irish guipure This is
a beautiful creation for carriage wear
but too heavy for any other occasion
There is a delicious blouse of lace
tho full sleeves held in with bands of
fur just above the elbow and again
by a deep cuff of the same A lace

Novelties in Dress
The shower proof or rain veil is a
novelty worth considering It Is said
to be not only pretty and becoming
but to afford a practical protection
for the hat over which it is thrown
Everything is rain proofed nowa
days even gloves Chemical treat
ment has been found to render kid im
pervious to rain without impairing its
softness and pliability
High boots are coming in and cer
tainly afford good protection from the
elements The popular height is ten
inches and the shoes come in both
black and tan calfskin

tight fitting with long basques large
velvet revers and cuffs For evening
wear a beautiful model is made in
black velvet lined with chinchilla and
adorned with a collar of rare old lace
In a different style are some little
taffeta coats for theaters These do
duty charmingly when accompanied
by a plumed picture hat of lace and
tulle or a flowered toque of smaller
proportions
Feeling Hungry j
The sensation of hunger has not 1
been easy to explain The new theory
of a German physician is that it is
due to emptiness of the blood vessels
of the stomach and It is pointed out
that hunger is appeased with the rush
of blood to the stomach following tho
taking of food and beginning of diges
tion In many anaemic persons who
have no appetite when the stomach Is
empty the blood vessels of the stom
ach are really congested instead of
being empty Lack of blood in the
stomach in health acts on a special
nerve which is a branch of the same
nerve trunk as the nerves of tho
mouth and tongue A stimulus ap
plied to the tongue as by a spice thus
increases appetite while disease af
fecting the nerves of the tongue may
the stomach is empty

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY
Frauds in Watch Cases -
According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial a ilfty one iwund stone was
recently found in that city secreted in a
bale of hay of eighty pounds
This is not as biid as finding a lump of
lead of nearly one half the weijrht of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the
ter of the case
Gold watch cases are sold bv weight
and no one can see where this ll ad is se
creted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found se
creted behind them
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public It is
not pleasant for anyone to iind that ho has
lugged a lump of lead in his wati h case
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
U S Assay The Urited States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver ecept coin and the fakir by
using this stamp wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to doAviththe stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases
Another of the watch fikir is to
advertise a watch described as a solid gold
tilled watch with a twenty or twenty five
year guarantee Tnese watches are gen
errlly sent C O D and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he lipds that tho
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is not in existence
The Dueber Hampden Watch Company
of Canton Ohio who are constantly ex
posing these frauds will furnish tho
names of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business

ecognition of goodness
