CATARRH OF LUNGS. A Prominent Chicago Lady Cured by Pe-ru-na. Miss Maggie Welch, secretary of the Betsey Boss Educational and Benevo lent Society, writes from 328 North State street,Chicago, 111., t he following glow ing words concerning Peruna: “Last fall I caught the most severe cold I ever had in my life. I coughed night and day, and my lungs and throat became so sore that 1 was in great dis* 7 Miss Maggie Welch, tress. All cough remedies nauseated me, and nothing afforded me relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, ‘I guess Peruna is the only medicine that will cure you. ’ •‘I told him that I would certainly try it and immediately sent for a bottle. I found that relief came the first day, and as 1 kept taking it faithfully the cough gradually diminished, and the soreness left me. It is fine.”—Maggie Welch.

Recent census figures, according to an article in the Philadelphia Medical Journal, seem to establish beyond question of a doubt the fact that the birth rate in the country is lower than that of any European country except ing France; that the birth-rate of the American-born population is much be low that of France, and that the fe cundity of the American woman is lower than that of any other country. France is alarmed at her condition; we are indteffrent, for we are con stantly recruiting our population from Russia, from Sweden, from Germany, from Ireland or from Canada. Senator Hoar’s Worcester Honje. Senator Hoar’s house in Worcester was purchased by him some forty years ago when property was cheap, and is, therefore, a very large plot of ground, almost, in the center of the city. It used to belong to John Han cock of revolutionary fame. The house is a roomy but unpretentious building, and is chiefly remarkable for its enormous library. Thousands of volumes are piled ceiling high in this great room, and Mr. Hoar spends hours and hours among his books. Industrious and Fertile Novelist.

Kokomo, Ind., Dec. 1st.—Twenty years Is a long time to take out of one person’s life but that was the fate of Anna M. Willis of this place. For twenty years she suffered all the torments of Kidney Trouble, and any one in that state Is not living, but simply existing. Now Anna M. Willis Is fully recov ered. She appreciates the pleasure of living again and never forgets to tell you that It Is all because a friend advised her to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. In speaking of her wonderful cure she says: “For twenty years I suf fered from Kidney Trouble. The dis ease was terrible in itself and it was all the more terrible because I could get no relief and my case seemed hopeless. “But one day I got six boxes o' Dodd’s Kidney Pills and by the time I had taken five boxes my pains had left me and I was a free woman."

CATTLE—There were only a few bunch es of cornfed steers on sale and packers took hold more freely than they have of late, and the market could safely be quoted steady to strong. There was noth ing In the yards that showed much qual ity, so that a test of the market on that class of cornfeds was not made. The cow trade was also active and strong. Canners continued to sell to good advan tage, and sales were made all the way from strong to a dime higher. Grass cows of good quality were also In good demand at strong to a dime higher prices. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold freely at fully steady prices. The extremely low prices at which stockers and feeders were offered on Wednesday enabled speculators to clean up the big bulk of the stock. As a result there was quite a demand for fresh supplies, and as receipts were lim ited the market ruled active and a little stronger for anything at all desirable. Common cattle did not show any im provement. There were Very few western beef steers on sale, but the market could safely be quoted fully steady. Range cows were In active demand and the mar* ket was strong to a dime higher! Range stockers and feeders also sold freely at stronger prices where the quality was satisfactory. HOGS—There was rather a light run of hogs and the market improved a little. Trading started out on a basis of about lVfcc advance and sales were made all tbe way from strong to a nickel higher. The bulk of the sales went from $6.00 to $6.05. Trading was fairly active and as offer ings were moderate It was not long be fore the bulk was disposed of. The late arrivals sold fully as well as the earlier sales, but there was not quotable change from start to finish. The improvement carries the average above the $6.00 mark once more. « SHEEP—Quotations for grassers: Good to choice yearlings, $3.50®3.75; fair to good, $3.25®3.50: good to choice wethers, $3.25® 3.50; fair to good wethers, $3.00®3.25; choice ewes. $3.00®3.25; fair to good ewes, $2.25® $2.75; good to choice lambs, $4.50®4.75; fair to good lambs, $4.00®4.50; feeder wethers, $2.75®3.15; feeder yearlings, $2.90®3.25; feeder lambs. $3.00@4.00; cull lambs, $1.50 ®2.00; feeder ewes, $2.50®3.00.

Liberal Leaders Talk of Sugar Con vention at Cobden Club. LONDON—The annual banquet of the Cobden club, which was held Fri day evening, resolved itself into a great demonstration of the liberal leaders. Lord Spencer, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and others spoke against the government’s protectionist tendencies in general and the sugar convention in particular. T*nis sound ing anew of the liberal war cry, “free trade,” has provoked much newspa per comment. Sir Henry Campbell' Bannerman declared that the liberal party would oppose by every means in their power the bills relating to the sugar convention. A conservative paper points out that out of 325 members of the Cobden club 242 are foreigners domiciled abroad whilst of the remainder many are for eigners residing here, and therefore the club is in no way representative of British opinion. RED MEN CALL ON ROOSEVELT. Carlisle Foot Ball Players Visit the White House. WASHINGTON—President Roose velt on Friday received the members of the Carlisle Indian school foot ball team, who defeated the Georgetown university team Thanksgiving day. The Indians were introduced individu ally and the president has a pleasant word for each, asking him about his tribe or some famous Indian chief. To one the president referred to the Car lisle-Harvard game. The Indian, who was a Sioux, said that they had been defeated 24 to 0. ‘ That was better than Harvard did with Yale,” observed the president, smiling. NEW YORK—At the residence of Lyman J. Gage it was said Friday night that he was suffering from noth ing more serious than a cold. Eager to Test Monroe Doctrine. PARIS—The French foreign office has not considered the question of the French participation in the British German naval demonstration against Venezuela, as the French claims are making reasonable progress towards adjustment. The officials here take a favorable view of th'e British-Ger man plan as being likely to serve the interests of all the powers, and de fine the meaning of the Monroe doc trine. i SUBSTITUTION. Please listen to a short talk upon a most vitally important subject—ono which is greatly disturbing the busi ness world to-day. You have doubtless heard of the word "substitution.” You have prob ably read that “substitution is fraud.” Tack that saying firmly in your mind and keep it there. It is worth some thing. It is true—almost invariably. You cail at a store and ask for an article of a certain brand or manufac ture, one which has been thoroughly advertised for years, and which has earned an excellent reputation. The dealer says “here’s something just as good for less money.” That dealer thereby usually tells a direct false hood. He knows that the article which he offers you at a lower price is inferior, hut the point is that it yields him a greater profit; hence his desire to substitute. You may ask if an article Is superior just because it is advertised. Yes, it is, and here’s why. The many well known houses which spend millions of dollars every year in the good pub lications of the country are managed by men of brains and wide business experience, and these men know only too well that unless an article has merit there is absolutely no business sense in spending good money to ad vertise it. It does not pay to adver tise any article of general use for a short time only. Every advertiser must wait some time before his adver tising has created the desired impres sion and while he is waiting his goods must have time to prove whether or not they are good. If they are good, they stick; if not, they do not, and If they were not good and did not stick, would this experienced business man continue to spend good money adver tising the goods—throw good money after bad as it were? Never! He has too much business sense. The average article which you see advertised month after month in good publications is itself good. Buy an advertised article. It is the true safe way. When you are buying ask for what you want and get what you ask for. Remember! “Substitution is Fraud.” —Pearson’s Magazine. Henry Rebuked by His Porter. Prince Henry of Prussia, who re cently bought an estate at Burg Rheinstein, had an amusing experience in reaching his new home at an un conventional hour. The new lodge keeper had never seen his master, and when Prince Henry asked the keeper to unlock the gate he was greeted by the sleepy doorkeeper with the abrupt question: “Who in the name of good ness are you? Wonder some people don't choose better hours to pay vis its.” It was only after explaining that he was the brother of the emperor that he was allowed to enter his own castle. Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Drops, as a blood purifier, strength and health restorer, and a specific for all stomach, liver, and kidney trou bles, leads all other similar medi cines in its wonderful sales and mar vellous confidence of the people, especially our vast German population. It is not a new and untried product, but was made and sold more than sixty years ago. Keeping Up Appearances. An American gentleman who was spending the winter in Naples had taken a flat in a palazzo the first floor of which was occupied by a noble fam ily in somewhat reduced circumstan ces. He noticed, to his surprise, that every day he met a servant going up or down the stairs carrying a pair of carriage doors. At last the mys tery was explained. The noble family shared a carriage with some otherfam iiy, but each had its own doors with the family coat of arms, to make theii friends believe that they all had car riages!

A fountain of the sixteenth century which formerly stood in princely grounds on the shore of Lake Como has been brought by William Rocke feller as a gift to the New York city zoological park in the Bronx, and it will probably be set up before Christ mas. It is of granite, the basin 25 feet in diameter, with excellent sculptures of mermaids and little tritons on sea shores, and for the center dragons on a rough rock base support an urn in which rests a column surmounted by a swan. This will have cost Mr. Rockefeller $25,000 when put in place. HALF RATES TO CANADIAN POINTS.

Mrs. Flayes, of * Boston, % Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else ♦ failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes’ First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help: “ 1 Irak Mrs. Pinkham : — I have been under Boston doctors’ treat ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both hack and front. My ab domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. JVIy ap petite is not good. I cannot walk or lie on my feet for any length of time. “ f he symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac curately deaenbo my case, so I write to you for advice.”—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine — which she knew would help her — her letter contained a mass of additional instruc tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. . “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. “The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. “ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth live dol lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.” — (Signed) Mrs. L. T. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (lloxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should bo accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of tho testimonial let ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. . Mrs; Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don’t for get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else. fennn forfeit if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of •HuUllll tostinionials, which will prove tneir absolute genuineness Lydia K, Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mini, -DREWS— JUNIPER BITTERS Relieves All Distress of the Stomach aud Periodi cal Disorders.
