Y., writes:—“I had catarrh for ten years, tried a lot of medicines, spent a lot of money, but it did me no good. Instead of getting better I grew worse. My eyes were bloodshot, my nose smelled bad, and I would get so dizzy I would be forced to catch hold of something to keep from falling. I used about ten bottles of Pe-ru-na and am cured of catarrh, the dizzy feeling has left me and I am not bothered any more. I keep Pe-ru-na in the house and when I feel a cold coming on I take a little.

Premier Herrlott telephoned Prem ier MacDonald, asking him to come immediately to Paris to discuss the critical Internal situation In France arising out of Poincare's intrigues through which he hopes to torpedo the projected London conference on the Dawes plan.

"I un equivocally repudiate the accusation that I wish to get rid of the repara tions commission or make any alter ations In the Versailles treaty. Any agreement arrived at will be In addi tion to, not a substitution, for any 1 thing agreed upon by reason of this treaty.” This statement Is taken to mean that MacDi nald la against allowing the reparations commission to have anything to do with the Dawes re port, although it will continue to ex ercise its powers under the Versailles pact.

The preacher’s high calling puts a grave .tesponslblllty on his every word, and he will not jeopardize his reputation by commending a thing without first assuring himself it Is all right. Tanlac has been endorsed by num bers of prominent minister*'. They have put Tanlac to the test of per* sonal service and their words carry conviction because they say what they know to be the truth. One of the latest to speak out In behalf of Tanlac Is Rev. B. E Bell, a retired Baptist minister, 207 Elm St., San Antonio, Texas, who says: "Before taking Tanlac I had suf fered from stomach and nerve trou bles for over 30 years and there were times when my condition was such that It required almost superhuman effort for me to prepare my sermons and go through with my Sunday serv Ices. Indeed, my work seemed Uk# some great obstacle across my path way—a burden too big to carry In my weak physical condition. “But In six weeks’ time Tania# transformed my entire outlook, giving me what seemed like a new set of nerves and a brand-new digestive system. My appetite became raven ous, my nerves steady, my liver action regular and I could sleep sound for the first time In years. Whenever I have the slightest symptoms of trou ble now I always resort to Tanlac, am taking some at present, and It never falls to smooth things out for me. I certainly have the best of re** sons for feeling grateful to Tanlac.” Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug gists. Accept no substitute. Over 40 million bottles sold.

Small Boy*a Excuse Availed Him Not There Is one small boy In Kansas City, says the Star, who remembers the Shrine convention with a. tinge of sadness. When Uncle Jack, who helped tell us how the corn grows in I-o-way, wrote that he would visit Bil ly’s family during the convention, Bil ly’s mother made a three-tier choco late cake that was a work of art. After that long march unde was to bp dined and refreshed properly. There had been so mueli talk of the appearance of the wonderful cake that Billy knew that, no matter how much he might be tempted, he mustn’t spoil that. But what would be the harm In lifting off that top layer, cutting a grand big piece out of the center of the other two layers and then putting the top on In place again? The scheme worked beautifully un til his mother’s knife went through the top of the plute and struck the empty plate beneath with a sickening, hollow sound. Later Uncle Jack heard sounds that took him back to his boyhood days, and between sobs, “Well, 1 didn't spoil the looks of the old cake, anyway.’’ _/_ Exhibition Stamp Great Britain has once again broken away from tradition by issuing a spe cial Imperial exhibition postage stamp. Most other countries make frequent changes in design, und some of the smaller republics In South America have derived n comparatively large revenue by Issuing ne\tf stamps on the slightest pretext and selling them to stamp collectors ull over the world. Greece cannot be suspected of this flnanclul Jugglery, and she Is quite Justified In printing a series of stamps In commemoration of the Byron cen tenary.
