HAY FEVER
"Having used Perunafor catarrh and
hay fever, I can recommend it to all who
are suffering with the above diseases. J
am happy to be able to say it has helped
me wonderfully. "
May me E. Smith.

HAY FJJVER is endemic catarrh. It
is caused by some irritating sub
stance ia the atmosphere during the
late KUimnrr months. It is generally
thought that tlie pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Chanp-e of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A largo number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna a trial.
It has proven of priceless value to
many people.
Swords Into a Plow.
During the centennial celebration in
Philadelphia in 1876 the members of
the Universal Peace union assembled
to celebrate the tenth anniversary of
the foundation of the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a plow as a symbol of
peace. The weapons were afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement, which, however, Instead of
being a plow, took the shape of the
ordinary field cultivator.
This cultivator may now be seen in
the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over
It is an Inscription giving the history
of the implement.
Arrangements were made to take a
sunlight photograph at the bottom of
the shaft of a mine 2,000 feet deep
at Sombrorete, in Mexico, on June 21,
the only day in the year when the
sun shines there. Even then its rays
touch the bottom of the mine for only
three minutes.
STOMACH PAINS
Or. Williams' Pink Pill Brought Re
lief, and Cure for Splitting
Headaches as Well.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy
which has lecu before the American peo
ple for a generation, is still accomplish
ing wonderful results as is evidenced by
the following interview with Mrs. Ra
chael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans.
"It was very strange," she says, I
never could tell what caused it and
neither could anybody else. For a long
time I had bad spoils with my stomach.
The pain would commence about my
heart and wus so deadly agonizing that I
would have to scream aloud. Sometimes
it would last several hours and I would
have to take laudanum to stop it. Be
sides this I had a headache almost con
stantly, day and night, that nearly crazed
me, so you see I suffered a great deal.
And when I think of the agony I en
dured it still makes me shudder. .
' 'Doctors,' did you say? Their medi
cine made me sicker. I couldn't take it
and I kept growing worse uutil a friend
advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and I did. I began to feel better
and was soon wholly converted to this
wonderful medicine. It did me more
good than I had ever hoped for. I kept
on with the pills and now I recommend
them to all who suffer."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured
severe cases of indigestion, bloodlessiiess,.
influenza, headaches, backaches, lam-'
bago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness
and spinal weakness. The genuine Dr.
Williams Pink Pills are guaranteed to

Give Strike Figures.
In a circular letter issued some time
ago by President John Mitchell and
Secretary W. B. Wilson, of the United
Mine Workers of America, notifying
the members of the discontinuance of
the strike assessment, some interest
ing figures are given. The circular in
part says:
On the first day of April this year
over 400,000 miners laid down their
tools in order to secure a restoration
of the reduction in wages forced upon
us in 1904 in other words, the restora
tion of the scale of 1903. The greater
part of this number were on strike for
over two months, and some of them
have not yet secured a settlement.
"At the time the strike commenced
we had in the international treasury
approximately $400,000, or just about
one dollar per capita for those on
strike. In the various district, sub
district and local union treasuries, so
far as we were able to secure reports,
there was $2,300,000. Under these cir
cumstances it became necessary for
the international organization to in
sist that the various local, subdistrict
and district unions should exhaust all
of their own funds before calling upon
the international for assistance, in or
der that the money in the general
treasury might be reserved for the
support and protection of those mem
bers of our organization who were un
able to secure settlements as soon as
the others.
"When the funds in the internation
al treasury were nearly exhausted,
and a large number of our members
still on strike, the board, acting under
instructions received from the inter
national convention, levied an assess
ment of 50 cents per week per mem
ber upon those who had secured settle
ments, beginning with the 15th of June
upon those who had been at work prior
to that time, and with the first week
of the second pay. received by those
who resumed work after that time.
"Nearly all those who came out on
strike have secured settlements on the
basis of the 1903 scale, but we still
have about 12,000 men in various parts
of the country for whom settlements
have not been secured. It will not,
however, be necessary to continue the
assessment of 50 cents per week per
member, and you are hereby notified
that it will be discontinued after July
31, 1806."

Physicians Recommend Castoria
ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-1
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with:
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the;'
result of three facts: tint The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:;
Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quietsthe nerves, but assimi
lates the food: rw It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OH.'...
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day ,
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to
the information. Hall's Journal of Health.

When Woman Isn't Young.
The report is that a local religious
institution which is for "young wom
en" has drawn the' deadline of youth
at 35. Every woman over that age
will be marked 23 and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. It is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem not they.' This is simply
another example of woman's inhu
manity to woman. . .
We have been told for many ages
that a woman is as old as she looks
and a man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most wom
en look like 60 and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems a good one.' It is a plain, un
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.
Differences.
"You haven't the old buildings nor
the development of the drama that we
have," aid the European.
"No," answered the American. "I
suppose it's due to the fact that our
building inspectors and police look at
things differently."

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your .
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." '
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands,
first In its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent." .
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher's." '
Dr.Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." ;
Dr. J. It. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse- ,
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy." '. ' k
Dr. R. ML Y'ard, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case cf Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria." .
