Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh
of the Stomach Peruna Relieves Ca
tarrh of the Stomach and Is Therefore a
"Remedy For Dyspepsia.
lion. M. C. Butler , Ex-U. S. Sen
ator from South Carolina for two
terms , in a letter from Washington ,
D. C. , writes to the Peruna Medicine
Co. , as follows :
" / can recommend Peruna for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I
have been using your medicine
for a short period and I feel very
much relieved. It is indeed a
wonderful medicine , besides a
good tonic. "
X X V X VSw NVXN *
/CATARRH of the stomach is the cor-
V-xrect name for most cases of dyspen-
sia. In order to cure catarrh of the
stomach the catarrh must be eradicated.
Only an internal catarrh remedy ,
such as Peruna , is available.
Peruna exactly meets the indications.
Criminal Sneezing1.
Great public interest is being mani
fested in the case of a man who has
been prosecuted for sneezing in a pub
lic street. The hero of the incident is
one Joliann Furtuiann , a resident of
MuhlZiauscu , a small town in Prussian
Saxony. Furtmann , who is highly re
spected by his fellow citizens , sneezed
somewhat loudly in the main street of
Muhlhausen. A policemeau arrested
him on a charge of creating a disturb
ance. The local police authorities
prosecuted Furtmann on a charge of
gross misdemeanor and rendering him
self a public nuisance. After a lengthy
trial Furtmann was acquitted. The
police authorities appealed against the
decision , and a new trial is necessary.
Furtmann announces tnat he will call
medical evidence to prove that a poly
pus in the nose prevented him sneezing
less loudly than was the case when the
arrest occurred.

A FOOD CONVERT.
Good Food the True Itotid to Health ,
The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve dyspepsia , keeps up the pat
ent medicine business and helps keet
up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion dyspepsia is caused
by what is put into the stomach ic
the way of improper food , the kind
that oo taxes the strength of the di
gestive organs they are actually crip
pled.
pled.When
When this state is reached , to resorl
to stimulants is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addition
al effort he makes under the lash in
creases his loss of power to move the
load.
load.Try
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy , greasy , indigestible food
and take on Grape-Nuts light , easily
digested , full of strength for nerves
and brain , in every grain of it. There's
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.
"I am an enthusiastic user of Grape-
Nuts and consider it an ideal food , "
writes a Maine man :
"I had nervous dyspepsia and was
oil run down and niy food 'seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an adv. I tried Grape-Xuts food , and ,
after a few weeks' steady use of it ,
felt greatly improved.
"Am much stronger , not nervous
now , and can do more work without
feeling so tired , and am better every
way.
"I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls at
a meal. I am sure there are thou
sands of persons with stomach trouble
who would be benefited by using
Grape-Nuts. " Name given by Postum

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
AFBICA FOB THE AFBICANS.
T will not do to exaggerate the weight and
Importance of the so-called Ethiopian move
ment , the keynote of which is expressed by
the cry of "Africa for the Africans , " and
yet underlying it is one of the gravest prob
lems awaiting the solution of the civilized
world. That problem has to do with the
future relations of the white and black races in Africa.
Shall the latter be permanently relegated to a position
of servitude * and subjection , as the inevitable fate of an
Inferior race associated with one more highly developed ,
or shall the attempt.be made to treat both on terms of
j equality before the law ? Shall the majority of the inhabItants -
| Itants of the country , bearing a proportion of not less
than twelve to one of the whites in Natal , for instance ,
be deprived of political rights by the white men who
have come into the land to till its fields and develop its
I mineral resources ? In a word , shall this great continent ,
j with its teeming millions of black natives , be turned into
, a "white man's country , " regardless of the interests and
j wishes of the blacks ?
I That the question is vastly more than an Academic
] one is shown by the unrest among the Zulu and Kaffir
. populations of South Africa , and by the repeated upris-
j ings of the Mohammedan negroes of the Niger region. So
long as the country is governed from above , as in Nigeria
and In the undeveloped portions of South Africa , the
problem has not risen to vex the white rulers ; but where
the attempt to introduce democratic self-government is
made as in the Cape Colonies it is acute. The men
upon whom rests the real burden of the problem , the
colonists , have small use for the humanitarians and the
theorists. They frankly declare that the cherished doc
trine of equal rights for all men is not for them , and
that the occupation of the country was for motives with
which ethics have nothing to do. Philadelphia Ledger.
A "BLACK LIST" OF FOODS.
NE of the most Interesting tilings to the
student-of political history and progress is
the way iu which federal statutes often
stimulate State legislation and encourage
the enforcement of State laws. The Lacey
act for the protection of game by the na
tional government has done more than any
other one thing to secure the passage and enforcement
of State game laws ; and already the pure food and the
meat inspection acts passed at the recent session of Con
gress have borne fruit in several States.
In Massachusetts and in New Hampshire particularly
the State Boards of Health have made public the results
of chemical analysis of many articles of food in daily use.
These articles were bought in the open market , of local
grocers , just as any householder buys them for his own
use. When they are found to be adulterated or other than
as represented on the labels , the State Boards of Health
have published the fact , naming the packer , giving a de
scription of the label , and telling just what and how much
adulteration was found.
The State Boards have long been carrying on this work ,
but what Is new is the fact that the newspapers have
taken much more Interest In it , and now print the re
ports In full. The Boards of Health in many other States
A TYRANT IS DEAD.
Gen. Trepoff "Was the Most Hated
Man. in Russia.
Escaping time after time the knives
and bullets of those who would have
assassinated him , the man most hated
by the Russian people , recently died a
natural death at the palace of the Czar
at Peterhof , near St. Petersburg. He
was Gen. Dimitrl Feodorovich Trepoff ,
the most detested and the most cruel
tyrant who stood between the people
and their hopes for reform. He was
one of the most remarkable men In
make similar examinations and prepare similar reports *
Even If the reports may not be printed in the newspapers ,
they can usually be had on application , and the Depart
ment of Agriculture works In the same field.
The restraining and reformatory effect of these reports
will be of great importance. Even a manuf acturer who
would like to cheat , if .he could do so in safety , wilfhesi-
tate to deceive when he knows that the reports of the
State Board tell the truth about his products , and that
the reports are accessible to all. Henceforth the house
holder can buy in "greater confidence than ever before.
Youth's Companion.
TO CUBE-THE HABBY THAWS.
ARRY THAW'S mother ruined her son when
sh clianged the will of the boy's father.
Tle atter left the spendthrift $2,500 a year.
Mrs. Thaw changed it to $80,000 a year. It
was a case of too much mothering. She put
a handicap on the son's life , cheated him
out of his chance.
Young Thaw never had the satisfaction nor the experi
ence of earning an honest dollar. He never knew the
keen joy of work. The exultation of the youth who
turns from a wood box filled or a lawn mowed a job
well completed never came to him. He was denied the
opportunity of labor with his hands or the working out
of an ideal vrith his head. The curse of idleness was
upon him. For Idleness Is a curse. The dictum that man
must earn his bread by the sweat of his brow Is a bless
ing. Work is the universal law of nature. It Is tfes
normal , sane business of man.
What could , be expected of a young man who had
more money than he knew how to spend and who made
diversion his only purpose ? There's a limit to having a
good time. When you get so far natural pleasures pall
and if the human has no occupation the craving for new
emotions begins to pull on the appetite. Self restraint
is overborne. Life is warped. Tastes are vitiated. Ex
istence is artificial nnd false.
There is one cure for a thousand Ills useful labor.
No man can live 3 sane existence without some healthy
occupation. We are built that way. St Louis Star-
Chronicle.
CHICAGO'S FEEIGHT TUNNEL.
0 other American city is In the happy po
sition of Chicago In having a large system
of freight tunnels , by which business houses
can load goods from their cellars right Into
cars. The tunnel company connects its trunk
tunnels with the larger houses in the down
town district , so that drays , teams and
strikes of draymen are at an end. There are forty-five
miles of tunnnel equipped with rails and overhead trolley
in the district bounded by Chicago avenue , the lake , Hoi
sted and Sixteenth streets , constructed in the last five
years at a cost of $30,000,000. The railroads are to re
ceive freight from the tunnel company at a minimum of
expense. The system of underground freight tunnels is
not a municipal enterprise , but was begun , it is alleged ,
by a subterfuge and carried on against the wish of the
city fathers. Baltimore American.

Russia. His father was a foundling
and never knew who his parents were ,
but he rose to be n power in the em
pire and the son followed in his foot
steps , rising even higher. No man
stood so firmly for despotism as did
Dimitri Trepff , and his life was con
stantly in danger. He was shot at over
and Old again. Three attempts to take
his life were made In one week. While
none of the assassins was ever success
ful In reaching him , they were really
the cause of his death , for the con
stant worry and terror of his position
broke down his health , and led to his
end.
end.Trepoff
Trepoff was a typical Russian very
tall , very strong , with cold blue eyes
and a hard expression. He had no
mercy In his soul and thought noth
ing of ordering the Cossacks to aow
down the people on the slightest prov
ocation. He was vulgar and Illbred
and possessed none of the gentlemanly
qualities which attach to the Russian
of good breeding. Withal , he was fear
less and stood between the Czar and
those who would have reduced the pow
er of the imperial ruler. He was the
protector and savior of autocracy. He
even prevented the Czar carrying out
his reform ideas. Tie was the oae bar
rier between the tempestuous sea of
mobs and popular passions that rageTl
around the throne on one hand and the
equally cruel autocracy on the other
hand. He plotted for M. Witte's re
moval and upset every plan for change
In the form of government. As com
mandant of the imperial palace he con
stantly had the ear of the Czar and his
influence was boundless. His removal
by death is a great blow to the autoc
racy and clears from their path th
strongest man in the way of the liber
als.
Hundreds of those whom he had
caused to be publicly flogged or sent
into exile will rejoice that the tyranf
Is dead.
Xobility Run to Seed.
The death In an almshouse at Klngs-
ton-on-Thames of a man who claimed
descent from King Edward I. and col
laterally from Archbishop Cranmer is
only another of the many instances of
the slow extinction of noble families ,
instances well known to those who
study genealogy from the eugenic stand
point. The garrulous Burke mentions
how one co-heir of our Plantagenet
kings became a shoemaker , carrying on
his trade in a snburb of London , how
another was a butcher at Halesowen ,
and a third a tollbar keeper near Dud
ley. And up and down the country
may be found many men who are the
sole representatives of great and pow
erful families that once held undlspufc-
ed sway over lordly acres. Hardy , as
every bookman knows , made splendid
use of this fact in "Tess of the D'Ur *
bervilles. " Pall Mall Gazette.
Poorly Trained.
A brakeman retired to a farm and
started to lead a simple life. Having
a piece of new land to break , he hitched
up a team of mules , wrapped the Hues
around his wrist in farmer fashion and
started to work. He had gone but a
hort distance when he saw a stump
ahead and immediately began giving
the railroad "stop" signal with both
hands. The plow struck the stump and
the brakeman went head first over the
plow. Picking himself up he ran an-
rily to the mules and roared : "Yon

Women. Wiio Wear Well.
It Is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make In
the appearance ami disposition of many
women. The freshness , the charm , the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow , a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this chr.nge. ipnoranco and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood , not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
