Have also taken Lacupia and can easily say it is one of the best blood puri fiers I have ever used." Mr, J. F. Arendt For Catarrh and Catarrhal Conditions The evidence of one man like Mr. Arendt Is more convincing proof to you of the merits of Pe-ru-na than any written words of ours. For fifty years Pe-ru-na has been the standby of the American iamily for diseases due to catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the organs of the body. Thousands, like Mr. Arendt, have proved the effectiveness of Pc-ru'na for coughs, colds, nasal catarrh, stomach, bowel and llver.disordcrs or any disease characterized by a catarrhal condition. If your suffering is the result of a catarrhal disorder try Pe-ru-na. It Is a true, tried medicine. Sold Everywhere Tablets or Liquid Nlnoty-Sovon per cant, cf the poopls hava catarrh In some torn.

If so, bo sure to take with you Uncle Siuii'h 1020 bulletin, Just off the government press, it tellH you all about "Coltor'H Hell" which Is to nay, the Yellowstone, oldest und most famous of our 10 national parks. Why "Colter's Hell"? Well, It's an Interesting story and not every one knows It The story of John Colter and "Col ter's Hell" properly begins nwny back In 1803, kvheti Thomas Jefferson, our third president, bought the Louisiana territory from Nupoleon Houiipartu. The western boundary of tbo United States Iwuh then the Mississippi, as Used by the trcuty (with Grunt Britain after thu Uovolutton. JofTer on senr James Monroe to Krancu to co-operato -with Mlitlster Robert It. Livingston In thu pur jeltasu of thu MUslsslppl's mouth for $2,000,000. JNupoIcon laughed at, them. Ho had Just made Lspuln cedu him thu Louisiana Territory, Intend jlng to cstnbllsh there nu cmplro to ruplacu that (lost to thu Hrltlsh In Canada. Then Napoleon saw lio must light the ISrlllsli. He could not light nml (colonlzu, too. So, to spltu the Urltlsh, hu told the rtwo Americans they could have all the country jbutween the Mississippi nml the Itockles (TexuB not Included) for $15,000,000. And hu made Mon too and Livingston agiee. Jefferson was scared jBtlft at thu act of his agunts. There was a nation wide rumpus over thu purchnsu, but congress rutl 'lied It nnd the puoplu finally approved It. Jefferson had not the slightest Idea what tbo lUnltcd States had bought nnd In thu spring of 180-1 Uio started thu Lewis and Clark expedition from St. JLottls to And out. This famous expedition went to 'tbo mouth of the Columbia river nnd returned to 8t. Louis In 1800, aftur having been given up for lost. It passed a fuw miles to tbo north of Uio 'Yellowstone, without oven suspuctlng Its exlBtuuce. John Colter was ono of thu prlvutu soldiers of tbo expedition. Before It reached St. Louis hu got Ids discharge and returned with two trappers to tho headwaters of thu Missouri for beaver. In tbo loprlng of 1807 at tho mouth of tho 1'latto lie mot Manuel Lisa and again turned back. Lisa built Fort Lisa at thu coulluencu of tho Ycllowstono and itho Dig Horn. Colter, going alone to summon tho 'Crows to tho fort for trade, passed to tho south of tho Ycllowstono through Jackson's IIolo to Pierre's Ifolc at thu west of tho Yellowstone. Returning ithuncu to Kort Lisa, hu passed diagonally through Uio YellowBtonu, thu ilrst white man to seu Its won tlurn. i Colter, after luhenturos and travels that glvo him a front rank among explorers of thu west, ru 'turned to St. Louis In 1810. Ho recounted his ad ventures and hu told of the marvels of the Yellow fitone. St. Louis believed boniu of Ids tales of ad venture, but would have none of the geysers, boil ing springs nnd paint-pots of the Yellowstone. They derisively dubbvd It "Colter's Hull," laughed over It for a time and then forgot It. Gen. Wil liam Clark, his commander, was the only one to believe him. On the olllclal map of the Lewis and Clark expedition Is a dotted Hue from Fmt Llba to the Yellowstone ami return, with tho legend, "Colter's route In 1807." Tho Yellowstone was discovered thu second tlmu nbout 1S27 this tlmo by Jim Hrldger, ono of Gen. William II. Ashley's lleutuuauta hi thu Itocky Mountain Fur company. Hrldger was tho dlscov terur of Greut Salt Lake, a map-mulcer without an jequul, a mountaineer, plainsman and guide with ino superior. Hut hu had u hobby big yarns. It ,Is hu who Hindu up those classic "whoppers" of the west the obsidian cliff, boiling spring, echo and alum creek stories. So, when hu told about thu wonders of the YellowHtoue, a scolllng frontier said, with laughter: "Oh, Just another of Jim Urldgur's yarns." Wurren Angus Ferris described tUo Upper Gey er basin of tho Yellowatonu In 18-12 find was not belluved. Prospectors In tho Montana gold excite ment of 1802 iigulu described tho Yellowstone ; they were set down a llurs. Newspapers and inaga Elues would not publish tho stories; lecturers were toned. In 1800 the seml-olllclal Montana Wash-Lurn-Lungford expedition did Bucceud In getting n hearing. In 1870 tho federal government m'M nn olllclal expedition which officially put the YulUw stone nn the map. Cornelius Hedges, Septmor 18, 1870, by a camptlro In thu Yollow'stone, propodod .that " the wondorlnnd hu made u national pnrk n play- g ground set nsldu for the people's use forever. Tho Idea took. Congress established tho Ycllowstono Nntlonnl park, March 1, 1872. Tho establishment of thu Yellowstone as n na tional park after 05 years of "discoveries" was the Hi st tlmo such a thing hud been done In all history. It wifl thu Ilrst national park In all tho world. Thu United Status set the exnmplu which practically all thu civilized world bus followed. Undo Sam's 11)20 Ycllowstono Bulletin Is n fascinating booklet of 103 pages of text, maps and Illustrations. It contains everything thnt tho tourist needs to know, from how to get there to n tlmo table of tho geysers and from the different kinds of trout to tho automobllo regulations. Tho following items are tnken from tho Introductory pages : i Tho Yellowstone Nntlonnl park wus created by tho act of March 1, 1872. It l approximately 02 miles long and 51 'miles wide, giving an area of 8,848 square miles, or 2,1-12,720 acres. It la under tho control nnd supervision of tho national park lervlco of tho Interior department. Tho Yellowstone Is probably the bost known of our national parks. Its geysers aro celebrated tho world over because, for size, power, and variety of action, ns'woll ns number, the region has no competitor. Thu Yellowstono National pnrk Is located In northwestern Wyoming, oncronchlng slightly upon Montana and Idaho. It Is our largest national park. Tho central portion Is essentially a broad, elovatcd, volcanic plateau, between 7,000 nnd 8,600 feet nbovo sea level and with an uvorugo elevation of about 8,000 fout. Surrounding It on thu south, east, north, and northwest, are mountain rnngeo with culminating peaks and ridges rising from 2,000 to -1,000 feet nbovo tho general level of tho Inclosed tableland. Tho entire region Is volcanic. Not only tho sur rounding mountains but thu great Interior plain Is made of mntcrlal once ejected, as ash and lavn, from depths far below thu surface. Geological speculation points to a crater which doubtless onco opened Just west of Mount Washburn. There are live active geyser basins, the Norrls, tho Lower, tho Upper, thu Heart lake, and Sho shone basins, all lying In tho west and south cen tral parts or the park. Thu geysers exhibit u largo variety of character and action. Some, like Old Faithful, spout at nulto regular intervals1, longer or shorter. Others aro Irregular. Some burst up ward with Immenso power. Others shoot streums at angles or bubblu and foam In action. Geysers are, roughly bpeaklug, water volca noes. They occur only at places whoro tho Inter nal bent of tho earth approaches closu to tho sur face. Their action, for so many years unex plained, and even now regarded with wonder by b'o many. Is simple. Water from tho surface trick ling through cracks In tho rocks, or water from subterranean springs collecting In thu bottom of tho geyser's ernts. 'town among tho strata of lu tenso heat, becomes Itself Intensely heated and gives off steam, which expands and forces upward thu coolor wnter that lies above It. At last tho water In the bottom reaches so great an expansion under continued heat that tho less heated water nbovo can no longer weigh it down, to It bursts upward with yrent violence, rising many feet In thu airland continuing to play until practically all tho water In thu cmtur has been expelled. Nearly the entire Yellowstone region Is reiunrk able for Its hot water phenomena. Thu more prominent geysers aro conllued to throe basins Ijlp;,' near each other lu thu middle wast sldu of the par!., but other hot wnter manifestations oc cur at more wlduly separated points. Marvelous ly colored hot springs mud volcanoes, and othor strange phenomena aro frequent. At Mammoth, at Norrls. and at brought to the .surface quantities of white min eral deposits which build terraces of beautifully lncrusted basins high up Into the air, often en gulfing trees of considerable size. Over the edges of theso carved basins pours the hot water. Mi croscopic plants called algae grow on tho edges and sides of these basins, painting them hues of red nnd pink nnd bluish gray, which glow bril liantly. At mnny other points lesser hot springs occur, Introducing strange, almost uncanny, ele ments Into wopded und otherwise quite normal landscapes'. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone afford n spectacle worthy of a national park were there no geysers. Standing upon Inspiration Point, which pushes out almost to the center of the can yon, one seems to look almost vertically down upon tho foaming Yellowstone river. To the south a waterfall twice the height of Niagara rushes gecmlngly out of the pine-clad hills and pours downwnrd to be ioft ngaln In green. From that point two or three miles to where you stand and beneath you widens out the most glorious kaleido scope of color you will ever see In nature. Tho steop slopes, dropping on either side 1,000 feet nnd moro from the plne-toppcd levels above, uro Incon ceivably curved and fretted by the frost and the erosion of tho ages. The fossil forests of tho Yellowstone National park cover an extensive area In the northern por tion tt the park, being especially abundant along tho west stdo of Lunay river for nbout 20 miles nbovo Its Junction wih the Yellowstone. Ono traversing Uio vnlloy of tho Lamar river may see at many plnces numerous upright fossil trunks In tho faces of nearly vertical wnlls. These trunks nro not all at a particular level but occur at Irreg ular heights; In fnct a section cut down through these 2,000 feet of beds would dlscloso a succes sion of fossil forests. That Is to say, after Uio first forest grow nnd was entombed, thero was a tlmo without volcanic outburst a period long enough to permit n second forest to grow nbovo tho flrst. This in turn was covered by volcanic material and presened, to be followed again by a period of quiet, nnd these moro or less regulnr al ternations of volcanlsm nnd forest growth contin ued throughout tho time tho beds were in process of formation. The Yellowstono National park Is Uio largest nnd most successful wild animal refuge In tho world. It Is nlso, for this renson, the best and most accessible Held for nnturo study. Its 3,300 square miles of mountains nnd valleys 'remain nearly as nnturo made them, for the 200 miles of ronds and tho four hotels and mnny camps are ns nothing in this Immense wilderness. No tree has been cut except when absolutely necessary for road or trull or camp. No herds lnvado Its val leys. Visitors for the most part keep to tho beat en rond, and Uie wild nnlmnls have learned In tho years that thoy mean them no harm. To be sure thoy are not always seen by tho people In the automobile stages which whirl from point to point dally during the season; but the quiet watcher on thu trails may see deer nnd bear and elk nnd nn telopo to his heart's content, nnd ho may even seo mountain sheep, moose, nnd bison by Journeying on foot or by horseback Into their distant retreats. It Is an excellent bird preserve also; 200 spe cies live natural, undisturbed lives. Fugles aro found among tho crags. Trout fishing In Yellowstono waters Is unex celled. All threo of the great watersheds abound In trout, which often attain largo size. Yellow stonu lake is tho homo of large trout, which aro taken freely from boats, nnd the Yellowstono riv er and Its tributaries yield excellent catches to the skillful nuuler. The criticism often made by persons who have visited granlto countries that tho Yellowstono re gion lacks tho bupreme grandeur of soma others of our national parks will cease to havo weight whun Uio magnificent Teton mountains Just south of the bouthern boundary aro added to the park. Theso mountains begin at tho foot of tho Pitch stone plateau n nllo or two below tho southern gatowio and oxtei d south nnd west. They bor der Jackson lake on Its west sldo, rising rapidly lu n series of remarkably toothed and Jugged peaks until they reach a sublime climax, 30 miles south of tho park, In the Grand Teton, which rises ca-thetlral-llko to an altitude of 13,747 foot. Thew amazing mountains are, from their na ture, a component part of tho Yellowstono Nn tlonnl pnrk, whose gamut of majestic scenery they complete and uo doubt would have been Included wUhln Its original boundaries had their supremo magnlllcenco beon then appreciated. Al-eady Yel lowstone visitors havo claimed It, and automobile stages run to Moran nnd back on regular schedule. In time, no doubt, part of It will be added formally to thu park territory.

"What's this I hear you want some alterations in my mnnuscrlpt?" he demanded. "I've made some libel ous statements, have I? Where?" "You have," said the publisher calmly. "Here, on page 550, you say your heroine, who lives m Pittsburgh, 'clutched the air convulsively.' " "Well, what's wrong with that?" demanded the Irate writer. "And then," went on the man who objected, "on page 40 you say the heroine went nnd washed her hands. It's a libel on Pittsburgh air, sir." Our Overflowing Riches.
