Successfully Swim Through the Michigan Whirlpool Rafids Renovates Regulates Restores a System Depleted by Catarrh John W Glenister of Providence R I champion long- distance swimmer of America has performed notable feats in this country and England He has used Peruna as a tonic and gives his opinion of it in the following- letter New York The Peruna Medicine Company Columbus Ohio Gentlemen This spring for the first time I have taken two bottles of Peruna and as it has done me a great deal of good I feel as if I ought to say a good word for its worth During the springtime for the last few years I have taken several kinds of spring tonics and have never received any benefit what ever This year through the ad vice of a friend I have tried Peruna and It has given satisfaction I advise all athletes who are about to go In training to try n bot tle for it certainly gets the system In good shape Yours truly JOHN W GLENISTER ATHLETES realize the importance of keeping in good bodily trim The digestion must be good the cir culation perfect sleep regular and enough of it If the slightest catarrhal condition of lungs or stomach is allowed to remain neither digestion nor sleep will be strength sustaining Those who lead very active lives like athletes with good muscular de velopment find the spring months espec ally trying Athletes everywhere praise Peruna because they of all men appreciate the value of a tonic that dispels phys ical depression The vocation of some men may allow them to endure the depressing feelings incident to spring weather tut the athle e must never a low himself to get under the weather He must keep in the pink of condi tion all the time In order to do this he must avail him self of a spring tonic upon which he can rely Therefore athletes are especially friendly toward Peruna Peruna never fails them There are Many Imitations of akers Cocoa and akers Chocolate tBIsS PsMx i Hi MLM Doiti be misled by them j Our trade mark is on every 1 1

IF NOT VALUABLE Bills by the Handfuls Handed Out to Visitor in Chicago for a 20 Gold Pifere Prices to Stagger the Unin itiated The Very Rev Dean Harris tells of the peculiar money scale of Nica ragua When the civil war in the United States was drawing to an end confederate bills were worth from five to ten cents a dollar he writes It meant to the public that all hope for Southern currency ever being re deemed was practically dead When I visited the large markets in this city the amount of money and the figures on the bank bills surprised me Bills of big denominations were passing from buyer to seller from hand to hand and no change asked or given I began to inquire the prices ruling the stalls Quainto vale how much I said pointing to the measure of potatoes Six dollars the woman in the stall answered For all O no senor for a litro a quart The price staggered me Rice was 5 a pound onions four flour 6 a quart and everything else in proportion We pay our butchers a pretty stiff price for meat in Toronto but compared with prices here it is ridiculously cheap A sirloin steak at the Leon market costs 19 per pound and a turkey 160 But everyone carries piles of bills here their pockets are bulging with them While in the market I frequently saw the vendors of fruit pull from their pockets rolls of bills as large and round as a stein and begin to sount off wads of twenties and fifths till I marveled at their wealth Among the farmers it is said that money is so plentiful that it is kept in large boxes Silver is rarely seen and small coins are unknown The small farmers and peons of the surrounding country when they come iere to buy carry their money in small bags or baskets My bill at the restaurant for dinner was 200 and a Panama hat cost me 600 For a car riage for one hour I was asked and paid 30 and so for anything else in proportion I have not yet paid my hotel ac count but I expect to be asked and to pay 3000 All this would have been heart breaking if I had not called at the bank on my arrival here For a 20 gold pii ce I asked for change in the currency of the country The tel ler looked at my gold coin weighed it in his hand put it to one side and began carelessly counting bills with the rapidity for which these j oung men all over the world are famous I waited patiently watching rolls pile up and hoping when he was through hed attend to me You cant hurry cashiers so I sat down until he got through Now I thought hell count me out change Presently he opened the hinged wicket called me over and said politely in Spanish Your change senor How much sir I asked him Two thousand dollars sir I borrowed from him a newspaper rolled up my money and went to my hotel Toronto Mail and Empire Cupid Recruiting Sergeant Cupid is one of the best recruiting officers that Uncle Sam has confided one of the sergeants attached to re cruiting herJquarters to a reporter the other dr Back of norrlv every enlistment there is a wr jnn n the case Lovers quarrels chae a lot of fine lads into the sprvice Your romantic youth gravates to the recruiting office after a serious break with his sweetheart as naturally as a duck takes to water It seems to him the most fitting way in which to sacrifice himself when loves young dream is appar ently dispelled Way down in his heart he nurses the idea of making his erstwhile inamorata sad and its the army or navy with the possibility of death in battle for him Again other first class material is recruited by the desire of young fel lows to sport a uniform before their girls In such cases Cupid does his recruiting through vanity But in both ways he manages to fill up big gaps in the ranks of Uncle Sams fighters Boston Post A Fine Variety I was eating my supper the other evening in a little Kentucky hotel said A B Conway at the Willard ho tel last night when a neatly dressed country girl who was waiting on the table came up and asked if I would have dessert I inquired what kind of dessert she had and she
