In IliilKarla Joining the central powers.
This brought an nutburat of French pub-II-!

they expected him to do, In checking

largely the same as that of tha Urltlalt
foreign olfhe. The Kngllsh also bava a
warm admiration for Drlcass aa on of
the chief figures In forming the entente
rordialo between Kngland and France.
Uut hla strength, and th recognition of

been greater abroad, notably In England,

came to be felt In the ministry that Del

had a good deal to do In bringing; about
the recent change,

They show that the system is being weakened by a congestion of the breathing
apparatus. This congestion in the mucous membranes of the throat and
lungs decreases the, supply of oxygen to the blood, gives off poisons that are
absorbed by the blood, and taxes the other organs with increased work.
Then your body needs help. It needs to be toned up to do the extra work.
The tonic used should also have a direct effect on those congested membranes.
PERUNA is That Tonic-
Ita effect upon the membranes Is to relieve the congee-
tioo. banish the catarrhal symptoms, invigorate the digestion
and circulation, and thus enable the system to rid itself of '
all the Inflamed condition known as cold.
Decause a cold Is nothing less than acute catarrh and
because, in addition to Its tonic effects, Peruna Is a reliable
remedy for catarrh, its use in colds and coughs is more effec
tive than any other remedy yet offered This fact is amply
proved by the thousands who have found relief, by the forty
four years of success, and by the many thousands of homes
that regard Peruna as the best family remedy.
You will understand why when you use it yourself.

(Correspondence of the Associated Tress.)
FARIS. Nov. . Many conflicting re
porta have been publ shed of the cir
cumstances under which the art treasure
of Paris wore rlacd In safety whl.e
the Germans were approaching the capi
tal. Albert I'ailinler. under secretary for
fin arts, now gives the exact detail in
an Interview published here:
"As esrly as Ausust." Mr. Dslimk-r
sas, I had concldcro-i wltn my col
leagues the measures to be taken to save
our art treaxurra from the eventuality of
the German Invasion. We did not want
to alarm the public by taking auch steps
before they became absolutely Impera-
time. It was only whn Von Kluck ap
proached I'aria with remarkauie rapidity
that we decided to act. and we were
Obliged to act quickly. They gave m
forty-olght hours to pack up the rarest
objects of our collection and send them
out of Parle by railroad, to be sheltered
In an Important city of the aouth of
Fiance. The task wa arduous and deli
cate. The most Insignificant incident
might compromise the operation hope
leeMy and the rapidity with which we
necessarily acted Inevitably developed
some nervousness, la a very hort time
we eBtablisbed a list of 710 canvases
thot we consUered It necessary to put
Into a place of safety. Only SO plcturea
were moved from the museums In WW
during the slen of Pari; comparatively
our task was far greater. Some experts
declared that It was Impoeslble In view
ef the mobilization of the greater part
of the personnel of the museum, but
we were determined to make the maxi
mum effort. All the furniture-moving
houses In Pari wtr caJled upon by
telephone to send every available moving
van Immediately and the removal of the
r,i, iiir and statuary began at once. Tho
Venus de Mllo, which welgha three tone,
gave us the greatest trouble, after which
the most delicate operations were the
packing and removal of the precious ob
jects and furniture of the -Gallery of
Apollo' at the Louvre.
Crown Dlamoada la Satchel.
"As for the crown diamonds, their re
moval was a delicate task that Henri
Marcel, director of the national museum,
and myself, decided that w could not
delegate to anyone. Proourlng aa ordi
nary leather satchel, we placed the dia
monds In It and left for the railroad
station at nightfall. The situation wa
disquieting, for a number of reasons.
The station wss crowded, the streets full
of people hurrying out of Pari before
the approaching army.
"We dined at the buffet of the railroad
tatlon very poorly, because the respon
sibility of the safety of thoae Jewels
spoiled our appetites. It seemed to both
of us that the eyes of every person in
th restaurant were fixed upon that
leather bag, and It occurred to u what
a simple matter It would be for an ill
designing, audacious person to mak a
considerable haul that evening in the
confusion of the exodua. W succeeded
In getting place In th train, crowded
to overflowing with panicky passenger.
When we arrived at our Journey end
w were not near the end of our troubles
with those famous Jewel It was al
most impossible to find a safe in which
to put them. We had been preceded, it
seemed, by every owner of a pearl neck
lace in Paris, and all the boxea of the
only safety deposit place In th city were
already filled. We finally found an
empty drawer in the aaf of a branch of
a Parisian bank, and it 1 there the
Jewel of th crown have been In aaf
keeping ever sine, always under the
watchful eye of men of th Fin Arts,
men detailed by th bank, and all of
them uprvid by private detective.
"The watch over the painting and oo
Jcta of art la an even more Important
affair. They filled eorea of moving van

there were formerly shoe shops, lock

placed on all window, fir fighting ap.

and night, the entire block around this

"In addition to the art treasures of

Man Who Forced

as the man who made quinine cheap.
During an exploration of Feru and the
unknown forests of the eastern Andes,
his attention was attracted to the cul
tivation of the cinchona or quinine tree
On his return to England he waa ap
pointed a member of th board of con

pressed the Importance of Introducing
the cinchona tree to India, both to re

Peru to procure tree, quinine was worth
12.60 an ounce In London and 15 an ounce
In Calcutta. Rut his proposals were
treated with cold scorn by the wise men
of England, even Including Huxley. None
the less, he took his cinchona trees to
India and established their cultivation,
