ADMIRAL SCHLEY
ENDORSES PE-RU-NA.
Pe=ru~na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen:—‘7 can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe°
ru-na and I believe with good effect.9'— W. S. SCHLEY, Washington, D. C.
gP A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the
gp Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart
P 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 Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the
slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap
peared on later conversation that Peruna 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 i9.
The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its
way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many
people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving
way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of
people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that «o
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
Pcruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever
phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many
notable and unique endorsements.
Address The Pcruna Drug M’f’g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free
literature on catarrh.

He Begins Early.
Dr. Francis L. Patton, president of
Princeton Theological seminary, has
a reputation not only for the excel
lency of his sermons, hut for the short
notice at which, on occasion, he can
prepare them. Some time ago lie
was conducting a "question box” at
summer school, when he 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.
Pa'.lon, “quite early.” "But,” per
sisted the questioner, "how early?”
"About C o’clock Sunday mornings.”
Costly Dispatch from the Porte.

crisis began. The cable dispatch was
directed to him at Washington, was
transmitted to New York and thence
to Sayville, L. 1.. the minister’s sum
mer liome. Chekib Bey having gone
to Washington, it was delivered to his
secretary, who had to pay $25 for its
transmission from Washington alone,
the message having been prepaid
from Constantinople to Washington.
Still Another Case.
Franksville, Wls., Oct. 12th.—Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
Is one right here in Franksville which
Is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Ixr.ils 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 ivtdiclno I have
ever known, and have ucn* mo a
great deal of good.’’

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 “ltis” are not English, but
Graeco-Latin, and do not come within
the scope of an English dictionary,
unless, as is the case of “bronchitis,”
they are in popular use. In this coun
try, at 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.

Stimulating Growth of Trees.
A new method of forcing the growth
of trees has lately been put to the
test of experiment in the Crimea, sup
plying trees with the food necessary
for their growth through the trunk,
thus dispensing with tlie slow pro
cesses of nature, which can only work
by means of tlie roots. Saits of iron,
either in liquid or solid form, have
been introduced by cutting a hole in
the stem. An account of these pro
ceedings has been recently read be
fore the Imperial Botanical society of
St. Petersburg. The system has been
applied to 800 fruit trees, and photo
graphs showed that it had quite ful
filled the expectations.
Famous Moated House._
The morn which so often surround
od halls and castles In the old dry*
is now generally dry and fllkd up
but some remarkable specimens still
remain. Perhaps the finest example
of a moated house is Helmingham
hall, the seat of Lord Tollemache, in
Suffolk, about eight miles from Ips
wich. The drawbridge still remains,
and it has befti raised every night foi
more than 300 years, the ancient pre
caution being observed even thougl
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 St. Andrews' well. A venerable
bridge spans the moat, giving access
through a tower gateway in the other
court.
ORIGIN.
Of a Famous Human Food.
The siory 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
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In othei
words before he could carry out hie
plans he had to find a food that w-ouid
carry him along and renew his pbysl
cal and ^nental strength.
lie knew that a food that was a
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
a mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish th*
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 sturdiness
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 if
in no sense a stimulant b.t is tlmply
food which renews and replaces th?
daily waste of brain and nerved.
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. V Post, is to be seen
on each genuik. package of Crape
Nuts.
Look in each package for a <jopy of
the famous little book, ‘The Load to
Weiiviilu.”
THOSE
HELPFUL BROADWAYS
They were on their way home at
2 a. m. As they turned into their own
quiet tross town street after leaving
the cars Mrs. Broad waj sighed
wearily.
“Dear me,” she said, "how glad 1
am to get near home once more, but
how very lonely It seems around here.
I don’t believe there is a soul abroad
except ourselves.”
Broadway looked sharply up and
down the street. “Yes, there is,” ho
said. "There is a woman ringing the
doorbell at the house across the
street. She seems to be having trou
ble to got in.”
The apparently forlorn condition of
the past-midnight prowler touched a
sympathetic chord in Mrs. Broadway's
bosom. She had been locked out her
self on several occasions, and knew
how it went.
“The poor thing,” she sighed. “Lot’s
go over and ask her If we can be of
any assistance to her."
The wdman on the doorstep gave
the bell another push as she saw
them approach, then turned and faced
them.
“I'm In a terrible fix.” she said,
helplessly. “I have no key and thin
bell seems to bo broken, and I can’t
make anybody hear, and 1 don’t know
how In the world I am ever going to
get In.”
Mr. Broadway reached over the
atone balustrade to the front window.
“I think,” he said, “there may ho a
way. I think I may be able to boost
you In through the front window. I
am sure I can if that window is not
latched.”
He pressed upward on the rash and
the window rose slowly and with a
slightly creaking sound. "It Is all
right," he said, and pushed still hard
er. "Now,” he said, when the apera
turo had ussunied proportions com
mensurate with the anatomical struc
ture of the woman, "If you can bridge
the chasm you will be all right."
"Oh. 1 can do that easy enough,”
said the woman. “I can crawl In, 1
am sure."
“Very well," said Broadway, "here
goes." i
It required considerable reaching
and scrambling on the part of the
woman and much lifting and balanc
ing on the part of Mr. Broadway, but
the passage through the window was
finally effected and the woman landed
on a soft rug inside.
‘ I'm safe," she whispered. ‘ Thanks,
ever so much." Then she closed the
window.
The Broadways hurriedly descended
the steps. "What number is thth?"
she asked when she reached the
street. "Did you notice?"
“One hundred and eighteen,” he said
Mrs. Broadway was the first, to see
the sequel to their samaritanism In
the evening paper.
“No. 118—118,” she said, wonder
ingly. "Why, that is where we helped
the woman in through the window last
night, wasn’t it, Jasper?”
“Yes," said Broadway. “What about
it?"
“She—she lied," panted Mr3. Broad
way. “She made that up about living
In the house. Nobody lives there—
that Is. nobody was home last night.
Everybody is away in the country.
Even the servant in charge happened
to he away last night and that wom
an knew it. She—she was a thief.
She must have had accomplices. A
little woman like her could never have
got away with all the stuff the papers
say she took. It all comes of your
lifting her in through the window.
The idea of a man of your age lifting
a strange woman, anyway! I didn't
approve of it at the time, hut I didn't
like to say anything; you are always
so apt to accuse me of being jealous
every time I open my head about such
things. But she certainly was
smooth."
Broadway read the account of the
robbery gravely. "We'll be in luck."
he said, “if the authorities do not
light on us as her accomplices."
Work Way Tli
The quality of ambition that led
Abraham Lincoln to clone a day o'
hard manual labor with poring over
a book by the light of a pine knot is
not known to the present generation.
Scores of young men and women are
to-day repeating Lincoln’s heroism in
forms adapted to the demands of mod
ern life. Brain and sinew are being
turned to account to yield, beyond liv
ing expenses, a surplus sufficient to
afford educational advantages.
Abundant examples of this spirit
are furnished by tho Middle West.
Visions of round dollars finding their
way Into his pockets us a result of
mowing lawns or currying horses have
lured many a young feliow from the
farm and from the miscellaneous occu
pations In a small town to the pursuit
of knowledge.
Ample illustration of such a move
ment may be had from the statistics
of earnings of students in the Aca
demy of Northwestern University at
Evanston, Illinois, during the last
year. The Academy registers 485 of
the 1,800 students on the Evanston
campus, and of the 485, 65 per cent
have earned money, much or little,
from September to June, amounting
in the aggregate to more than $12,000.
This Sum la exclusive of the summer
occupations, common to students,
through which money enough Is often
accumulated to pay a large share of
the next year’s expenses. The $12,000
represents In some cases small
amounts from irregular employments
such as clerical work, which enables
the student to spend on concert tickets
and general pleasure a dollar here and
a dollar there that the home allowance
will not cover. By many a young man,
however, his share of the $12,000 has
been expended on the necessities of
life. Raking out furnaces and build
ing up the fires before daylight, on
winter mornings has meant lodgings
for more than one young fellow with a
thirst for knowledge, while meals in a
rough College.
students’ eluh have been paid for wltli
shoveling snow or washing dishes.
Prospective lawyers and doctors
and preachers are at present learning
preparation for future careers by de
veloping business in butter and eggs
shipped In from the 'home farm, or
by working up a trade in coffee and
spices (a popular business enterprise),
or by assisting in laundry manage
ment. others run boarding clubs, or
clerk in stores, deliver dally papers,
collect bills or read gas meters. Somo
young men reach college equipped
with a trade and can serve as bar
bers, cobblers, or carpenters. Not a
few take stenographic notes and run
typewriters, or report for Chicago
newspapers the impossible happenings
of student, liie. Many pulpits within
a radius of sixty miles of Chicago are
regularly filled by preachers who at
tend recitations on the campus from
Monday to Friday and go to their
charges for fcaturday and Sunday.
Uncle Sam’s life saving crew, housed
on the edge of the campus, gives em
ployment to a group of able-bodied stu
dents. and pays them a good salary for
faithful service. In fact there is
scarcely any field of employment nec
essary to modern life which lias not
been Invaded by ambitious students,
provided it is of the sort that will
leave a margin of time for study.
The path of the student who works
ills way is not strewn with roses, and
the career of such n young man cails
for genuine heroism. The time given
lo earning money must, of course, b»
subtracted from the total sum of work
ing hours, and only the remainder iw
available for study. Consequently the
number of years given to the course
must be lengthened or else the wage
earning student finds himself at a dis®
advantage beside the student who hr®®
no responsibility outside his boowa*
However, this disadvantage is ir.dike

The Cedars of Lebanon.:
“There are only about four hundred
of the Cedars of Lebanon left,” says
Lewis Gaston Leary in Scribner's.
“High up on the rocky slopes, Hadrian
sculptured his impel ial anathema
against all who shouid cut these
sacred trees. The Maronite peasants
almost w'orship them, and call them
the ‘Cedars of the Lord’; and a recent
governor of the Lebanon has sur
rounded them by a great wall so that
the young shoots may not be injured
by roving animals. Yet century by
century, their number grows less.
“But if the cedars arc few in num
ber, these few are of royal blood. They
are not the largest of trees, though
some of the trunks measure over forty
feet around. Their beauty lies in the
wide spreading limbs, which often
cover a circle two or three hundred
feet in circumference. Some are tall
and symmetrical, with beautiful hori
zontal branches; others are gnarled
and knotted w ith inviting seats in »ho
great forks, and charming beds on the
thlfk fc::..ge of the swinging boughs.
