ADMIRAL Pe-ru-na Drug Co., Gentlemen: " ru-na and I believe ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, un daunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of I'cruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Pi-runa has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is.

The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to" c.aj remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands o people to give public testimonial? for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result, Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatevel phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'f'g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh.

Patton, president of Princeton Theological seminary, has a reputation not only for the excel lency of his sermons, but for the short notice at which, on occasion, he can prepare them. Some time ago he was conducting a "question box" at summer school, when be was asked by one of his auditors, "Will you tell me. Dr. Patton, your method of pre paring your sermons? Do you begin early in the week?" "Yes." said Dr. Patton, "quite early." "But," per sisted the questioner, "how early?" "About 6 o'clock Sunday mornings." Silk Made of Wood. Artificial silk Is now being made In Europe from wood fiber, tinder an English patent. The American, consul at Stettin writes of It: "The sample shown me was very soft and of a cream color. Each thread is made up of eighteen single strands. A single strand is hardly perceptible to the naked eye. As to the relative strength of a real silk thread and this imitation, the real silk is two-thirds stronger. It is said to take coloring or dyeing readily, .and when woven into pieces has the appearance of real silk. It is impossible to get samples here, or information as to the process of manufacturing, exoepting that no particular kind of wood is required and that the pulp undergoes a chemical process and is pressed through very fine tubes by hydraulic pressure, form ing the single strands which go to make up the thread." Still Another Case. Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th. Many remarkable cures are being reported from all over the country but there It one right here in Franksville which is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is gen erally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing con ditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long bur den of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weak ness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was. cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Markison says: "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine I have ever known, and have done me a great deal of good." "Appendicitis" is Barred. The illness of King Edward VII brought to light the fact that the word "appendicitis," which is in gen eral use in this country, Is not so common in England. It is, as a mat ter of fact, of American origin, and it is possible that this is the reason wny-- it is ignored in the huge "New English Dictionary." Dr. Murray, however, has recently accounted for his decision on the ground that words ending in "Itls" are not English, but Graeco-Latin, and do not come within the scope of an English dictionary, unless, as is the case of "bronchitis," tbey are in popular use. In this coun try, lt least, one is used as much as the other. British medical experts seem to dislike the word equally, and Sir Frederick Treves, in a recent work, goes out of his way to condemn "appendicitis" and to find equivalents.

It has not taken Japan long to get into the ways of civilization. Less than five years ago "the consular courts, such as the civilized nations maintain for the protection of theif citizens in eeml-civilized countries, were abolished in Japan. This sum' mer an international exposition is it progress In Osaka, with exhibits from various occidental nations, and a sur prisingly large display of Japanese products manufactured in the modern way. There has been no greater mar vel ir the industrial and political his tory of the world than the conversion of the mikado's empire from the stan dards of Asiatic stagnation to western life. There are people who believe that when China awakes the world will see a still greater marvel. Famous Moated House. The. moac which so often surround ed halls and castles in the old days is now generally dry and filled up. but some remarkable specimens still remain. Perhaps the finest example of a moated house is Helmingham nan. tne seat oi Liorti lonemacne, m Suffolk, about eight miles from Ips wich. The drawbridge still remains, and it has been raised every night for more than 300 years, the ancient pre caution being observed even though the need for it has long passed by. The moat which surrounds Leeds cas tle, near Maidstone, is so wide that it may almost be called a lake. The ancient episcopal palace at Wells is surrounded by walls which inclose nearly seven acres of ground, and by a moat which is supplied with water from SL Andrews' well. A venerable bridge spans the moat, giving access throvgh a tower gateway in the other co-t ORIGIN. Of a Famous Human Food, The Story of great discoveries or in ventions is always of Interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises be knew how to conduct was .led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In 'other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physi cal and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker), was 'universally needed. He new that meat .with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance In brain and nerve centers is made- from Albumen and Phosphate of. Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The re sult of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdinesa and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on .'the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces tho daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it Is served instantly with cream. , The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W.' Post is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape Nuts.

JAPAN REJECTS PROPOSAL. Russia Desires to Cut Up Korea, Tak ing Half. LONDON. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Kobe, Japan, tele graphs that Baron Von Rosen, on October 4t presented a note to the Japanese government, contending that Japan had no right to interfere in the question of the evacuation of Man churia, which solely concerned Russia and China. The note further pro poses the partition of Korea and sug gested that Japan should take the southern half and Russia the north ern provinces. The note was discussed by a coun cil of ministers October 5, and Mar quis Yamagata, commander-in-chief of the army,' had consultations with the ministers of war and marine. The Japenese government, adds the corre spondent, then sent a reply to Baron Von Rosen, rejecting the Russian pro posal. A crisis is possible at any moment.

France and Great Britain Agree on a General Arbitration Plan. PARIS. It was learned in authori tative quarters that the terms of the general treaty of arbitration between France and Great Britain have been concluded between Foreign Mininter Delcasse and the authorities in Lou don. All the substantial terms of tho treaty have now been settled. There only remain minor questions of detail and the signing of the treaty. Thcso formalities are so far advanced that the treaty is considered to be an ac complished fact. The advanced stato of the negotiations has not yet be-ia communicated to the public. The treaty follows the general Unas of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which to a considerable extent served as a model. It is pointed out that the Hay Pauncefote treaty, although rejectel' by the United States senate, now serves tho useful purpose of giving a basis for this important Anglo-French treaty. The officials also view the no gotiationa as evidence of the sympa thetic attitude of the Unit'l States, France and Great Britain on the prac tical adoption of the theory of arbi tration.
