" 1 have been troubled with catarrh for nearly twenty-five years and hav tried ninny rures for it , but ubtniiu-J very little help. ' 'Then my brother advised me to try Peruna , and I did. "My health was very poor at the time I began taking Peruna. My throat was very sore and I had a bad cough. "Peruna has cured me. The chronic catarrh is gone and my health is very much improved. "I recommend Peruna to all my friends who are troubled as I was. " PERUNA TABLETS : Some people prefer tablets , rather than medicine iu ; ( fluid form. Sudi people CMII obtain Peru- nn tablets , which -epresent the medici nal ingredients of Penma. Each tablet equals one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-Iin the Ideal Laxative.

Rockefeller's o\vn story of his fortunes and Hie history of the birth of the jroit : .Standard Oil Com pany , was listened to with brea'thless Interest by a large crowd that jammed the courtroom at the hearing before II ef e r ce Franklin Ferris in New York T h u r s d a y. With seeming < -u\- dor he told how and why the combi nation was created , and cheerfully ad mitted that it se cured rebates from the railroads which enabled it to drive competitors out of business. It was the final ra- Ju' BOCKLFIILLU : . ply of the oil com- puny to the attacks that have boon matin for years , the revelations of Miss Ida Tarbell , the fulminations of cam paign orators , the charges in newspa pers , and the remarkable letters of John D. Archbold that injured Senator Foraker and smirched half a dozeu statesmen. In answer to questions bj John G. Mil burn , his counsel , Mr. Rockefeller told how his combination reached out Its tentacles for more end more re fineries of rivals , and fattened on them for ten ye rs or more , till it became strong enough to change into what be came the Standard Oil Company of Ohio. Between 1ST2 and 1SS2 the Rockefeller combine bought ntid bought rivals. When it was strong enough it organized them all into one concern. The oil king said that the company was constantly reaching out for more refineries and more markets. It bought refineries to get them out of competition and to get their busi ness. That is the way II. I-I. Rogers ai.d John D. Archbold went into the company. They were bought up. Roth were strong , brilliant and bold. The Rockefeller combine had to get thorn out of the way ; it absorbed their rival concerns and them at the same time. Mr. Rockefeller snapped up the Ameri can Lubricating Company , and once in that field he looked around for more lubricaliiig companies. Before his ri vals appreciated what had been done , his combine controlled most of these concerns that had done business be tween 1S70 and 1SSO. When the Pennsylvania railroad , through its Empire Pipe Line , began gathering oil and shipping it to the seaboard at reduced rates , the Stand ard stepped in. A bitter war followed , the end of which came only when the Empire concern was turned over to Rockefeller and the dangerous compe tition wiped out. The railroad for its surrender was permitted to form a car combination , the certificates of which were bought by Rockefeller and his as sociates. "Whatever they had we took , " Mr. Rockefeller said , in ex- rJ.aining the absorption of the Empire concern. The most conservative reports from Great Britain tell of an unprecedented condition of unemployment in that coun try , a situation so desperate that the government can no longer ignore it. Al ready great numbers of the idle work men have shown signs of extreme dis content. Some groups were reported to be on the march toward London and at Glasgow bloodshed was prevented only by the prompt action of the city authori ties in appropriating $ oOO,000 for public works , to give relief. Dublin also is spending $ oO,000 for the relief of her poor. Liverpool , Sheffield , Birmingham and other industrial centers are likewise confronted with an acute situation. In the face of these facts Premier Asquith has announced his intention of formulat ing a general plan for giving relief. The highest court of Australia has ren dered a decision invalidating one of the important laws passed in the interest of organized labor , the party which holds the balance of power in that country. The unions had forced the passage of a law imposing an internal tax upon the output of the manufacturers of agricultural in struments. This was designed to about counterbalance the effect of the protec tive tariff , but gave to all concerns which paid the union scale of wages an entire remission of the tax. As the labor un ions controlled the Parliament , they could remit or impose the tax upon whatever business they saw fit , so that no business which suits the unions could be put out of the running. The court -decided , by a vote of 3 to 2 , that the new law was unconstitutional on the theory that the purpose of the law is to regulate wages instead of to levy a tax or to raise reve nue. nue.By By a vote of 4. > S to 47 , the French Chamber of Deputies has condemned tJie campaign which the nnti-Dreyftisards arc conducting against the decision in the case of Major Dreyfus , handed down by the court of cassation in ! ! ) ( ) < ; .

Not Affected by Depression OutHi , ; Inthistry That Makes It.s ness OJrotv and Kxpaiu ! Year of iJusincss JIMJI'I When a manufacturing establish ment reaches out in a year of deprc-s- slon and increases and expands its business , while others in the same line diminish their outputs or stand still , it is because there must be some unusually jjoud reason for it. In this Instance a splendid reputation and a more than ordinary meritorious prod uct were responsible for the showing made. The Mayer Boot & Shoe Company , Milwaukee , the largest shoe establish ment in the northwest , has just closed its iiscal year , and reports an increase in sales over the corresponding pe riod of last year. This exceptional showing speaks volumes for the genu ine merit of Mayer shoes , and is di rectly attributed to their high stand ard , and because of the fact that May er shoes have become universally and poularly known as "shoes of quality. " Most of our readers , no doubt , have become familiar with the shoe adver tisements of this enterprising- firm , that have been appearing in the col umns of this publication for a number of years past. To those who have not yet become familiar with the extraor dinary wearing qualities of Mayer shoes , we Avould recommend a closer acquaintance by a purchase of a pair at the first occasion. The leading brands are "Honorbilt" fine shoes for men. "Leading Lady" tine shoes for women. "Yerma" Cush ion shoes for both men and women ( these are exceptionally fine shoes for people troubled with tender feet ) ; the popular "Martha Washington" Com fort shoes , which have the largest sale of any shoes of their kind in the world , and the "Special Merit" School shoes ( a strong and sturdy line of seamless school shoes that wear like iron ) . Tn addition to these brands , the Mayer Hoot & Shoe Company make a complete line of every-day and Sunday shoes for all purposes. In fact , there is a Mayer shoe for every purpose and for every member of the family. The Purist at Liiirsrc. "Yes , it took me all of live minutes to really pet my bullet marked the way I wanted it.
