overcome their prejudice against so called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients I Advise Women to Use Says Dr Gsc Dr M C Geo is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna In a letter written from 513 Jones street San Francisco Calv he says There is a general objection on the part of the practicing j hysician to advocate patent medicines but when any one medi cine cures hundreds of people it demon strates its own value and dees net need the endorsement cf the profession Peruna has performed s6lmzay wonderful cures In Fin hrancisco that I am convinced that It is a valuable remedy

old Pennsylvania woodman but none deeper than that of wild animals that die natural deaths Tlio four footed dwellers of the woods certainly do not live forever -Age and disease must carry them off regularly as human beings are carried eft but what becomes of their bodies I never heard of any ones coming across a wjld dead bear or deer or wildcat or fox that had died from natural causes I found the carcass of a big five pronged buck in the woods once but a rattlesnake also dead had its fangs buried in one of the deers nostrils There had evi dently been a fight to the death be tween the reptile and the beast Another time I followed the trail cf a bear from a clearing where it had stolen a half grown lamb I came upon the headless body of the lamb a mile or so out en the trail and a half mile further on near the edge of a Wamp I was surprised to find the body of the bear Its jaws were open and its glassy eyes were pushed far cut of its head 1 held a post morten examination of the dead bear and found the lambs head lodged in its throat How or why the bear ever permitted it to get there I am unable to explain I have many times found other dead animals in the woods but never one that did not show unquestionable evidence of having died from violence of some kind Every woodsman will -tell you the same What becomes of the dead wild animals that die nat ural deaths Information

Miles is quoted by a fellow officer as telling the following story en himselt It was during our pur suit of Chief Joseph said the gen eral One exceedingly stormy night we encountered on our march in the Bearpaw mountains a few woodchop pers cabins The woodsmen were not inclined to be very hospitable but we finally induced them to snare with us the protection their huts afforded They consented

opium bills The first bill provides for the pro posed opium monopoly the second is a substitute making the importation of opium unlawful except by pharma cists and permitting its sale on a physicians certificate A commission was appointed to vis it Oriental countries and Investigate the regulations in force there Governor Taft has championed the theory of regulation and has demon strated that the passage of the first bill meant the prohibition of the drug to the 8000000 Filipinos and Moros aud an effective regulation for the 100000 Chinese in the archipelago more stringent than the English reg ulations He declared that it was generallv known that the opium hab it as practiced by nearly all China men was less pernicious than whisky drinking and mercilessly exposed the corrupt combinations of Chinese deal ers who are circulating falsely signed protests and raising money for the de feat of the bill IN A STATE Or COMA The Popes Condition Now of the Gravest Character ROME The pope lies this Sun day night in a state of coma and there are grave doubts in the minds of his doctors whether he will ever completely emerge His immediate dissolution seems only averted by the reliability of the action of his heart His pulse though weak continues steady Shortly before midnight Dr Laponni said to the correspondent of the Associated Press The pope at the present moment is in a state of coma which may be called a condition preceding the last agony the duration of which it is im possible to forecast although every thing leads to the belief that in this condition he cannot last long To be more exact he is still in a state of torpor and stupor from which how ever he rouses occasionally when ho hears sharp sounds HE CANT SPEAK AT BOTH Bryan Will Choose Between Conven tion and Chautauqua URBANA O The Urbana Chau tauqua has made arrangements for William J Bryan to deliver an ad dress on August 5 The democratic county central committee decided to hold the county convention on the same day in order that Mr Bryan might address the convention The Chautauqua managers have just met and decided that the editor of the Commoner shall not address the democratic convention They think his

holiness in this hour of supreme anxiety and asking to be in formed of the condition of the vener able patient has been received The Vatican authorities are deeply appreciative of this expression of

WASHINGTON D C The postof flce department has made public the following There seems to be a wide misun derstanding as to the present attitude of the department regarding rural free delivery The statement has been published quite generally particularly In tho west that rural routes that do not handlo 3000 pieces of mail per month and supply 100 families are to be discontinued It is not the pur pose of tho department to disturb routes alreaay established unless they are manifestly unnecessary There are now on file in the department pe titions for more routes that will sup ply more than 100 families than can be established with tho present appro priation This being the case the de partment does not feel it wise equita ble or just to establish a route supply ing less than 100 families the great est good to the greatest number being the fundamental principle upon which rural free delivery is being establish ed As long as all the routes asked for cannot be established because of the lack of sufficient money the routes that will supply the greater number of families should certainly have pref erence ROOT AND MOODY ORDER Army and Navy Now Work To nether WASHINGTON D C Secretaries

Romans paid special attention to the pnysical culture of their youth to public water supplies and baths and Athens and Rome were provided with sewers early in their history During the middle ages sanitation received a decided check Ignorance and brutal prejudice pre vailed and this was the mc3t unsani tary period in history Most Euro pean towns were built compactly and surrounced by walls The streets were narrow aud winding and light and air were excluded The accu mulation or filth was frightful Stables and houses were close neigh bors The dead wero buried within the churchyards or in the churches Wells were fed with polluted water AH conditions were favorable for the spread of infectious diseases and in the fourteenth century alone the oriental or bubonic plague the black death of recent historians carried off a fourth of the population of Eu rope The birth rate was much less than the death rate normally The cities had to be continually repopu lated from the country because the people died so rapidly The Chemical National Bank Early last century a charter was granted a company to set up a chemi cal works in New York and in con sideration of the boon these works would be a clause was added grant ing banking privileges The astute men at the head of the concern saw possibilities of development on bank ing lines not apparent in the manu facture of chemicals and decided to make the business a banking one To retain the privilege however it was necessary to manufacture chemicals and so then as to day an admirable pretense was made of doing this In the fine establishment of the great Chemical National bank on Broadway a little shop is apportioned to a manu facturing chemist who potters about mixing ingredients He is not much troubled with business but now and again a New York citizen will startle a visitor by taking him into this fine bank and asking for a dimes worth of castor oil which is supplied This was the only bank which did not sus pend specie payments
