MRS. WILLIAM O. MOORE.
Mrs. William C. Moore, Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: "It gives me
great pleasure to recommend Peruna to those suffering with catarrh.
"I bad catarrh of nose so badly my hearing had almost left me. I
was miserable, both to myself and those around. I had tried many
physicians and medicines, but without success. I felt that my health
M gone.
"But after using two or three battles of Peruna I began to im
prove, and after taking ten bottles my hearing was restored, my catarrh
cured, and I am now enjoying the best of health.
. "I Teel that this remedy ought to be In every household, for it Is

firs. Moorf la a housewife of excel
lent standing in tha community whom
she resides. Every one acquainted
wlh her knows. her to be a woman
th.t can be relied upon for ,vraclty.
Just consider what she has said.
First, she was suffering with ca
tarrh so badly that her hearing was
almost destroyed. She was a misery
to -herself and her friends. She had
tried many physicians and medicine,
but nope of them gave her any relief.
Bhe was completely discouraged, and
considered that her health was gone.
Now, this was her situation.
Then she says, "After using two or
three bottles of Peruna began to im
prove." 8he kept on taking Peruna
until her hearing was perfectly re
stored and her catarrh cured, and she
is how enjoying the best of health.
No wonder she feels like saying that
Peruna ought to be in every house
hold. No wonder she says it Is a
blessing to suffering humanity.
Such a case as this ought to be her
alded all over the United States. There
are thousands of other people that are
suffering as she was. There is every
reason to believe that Peruna would
frequently accomplish the same result
In this class of chronic cases.
At least this much is sure, that Pe
runa is well worth a trial in any case
of catarhh, whether it be of the head.

Qua Schilling, the man who was found
unconscious from gas poisoning Tuesday
morning, but was supposed to be recover
ing; was found dead In bed Saturday
morning. He had been stopping at Mrs.
Paulino Black's rooming house, second
""floor at 1615 Howard street, since Mon
' day. It is thought the effects of the gas
on his general condition, and the fact that
his. heart was probably In bad condition
from the . effects of the former use of
liquor, caused death.
Coroner Heafey took charge of the body,
which waa discovered about 6:30 o'clock
by Mrs. Black and her son. Harry. An In
quest will be held, probably Monday morn
ing. An. effort is being made to notify
relatives of the dead mon.
Schilling used to work for a man named
Wheeler at Millard, Neb., and drove milk
wagons from - that town to the Waterloo
cVsaroery in , Omaha. He gave ' up his
position some time ago and took the Keeley
cure. HS had Just ' been discharged from
that ' Institution before he went to the
Black lodging house.
Suicide was -never mentioned by Schill
ing as a. -means of ending his life, ac
cording to Mrs. Black, who has known hint
stlfhtly for about two years. It Is thought
1 that natural causes and the recent gas
poisoning that he sustained, caused death
- Of German extraction, about 46 or 50
years old, unmarried and with his right
leg cut off below the knee and a part
of his . left foot arm gone. Schilling waa
familiar f iaure to persons living near
tlte creamery. Ha Is said to have a
father, - mother and several brothers and
sisters living In Chicago, and Mrs. Black
says she thinks they are wealthy. A
number -of pictures of members of bis
; family, who appear well dressed and per
sons of means, were the only effects
found m his room, other than a few bot
tles of medicine prescribed by Police Bur-
' geon Barbour, who has been attending

The foul gases of the stomach and the
torpid action of the liver are easy victims
for eharcoal to overcome.
This great natural cleaner, and absorb
ent will most certainly bo rellehetf by
system afflicted with gaseous or sluggish
tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as
great absorbent of gas. A panful or
charcoal will positively, purify a room
filled with foul odors and decay. Its
absorbing ratio Is one hundred times
greater than its own volume.
The ancients gave charcoal for many
human Ills successfully. The North
American Indians used It for snake bite,
poison from eating wild herbs and cured
what they called "stomach bad medicine"
with it
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt the.
peculiar curatlva property of the willow
Is represented In a chemical quality in its
charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges r purs

tremendous power and compression Into
a very palatable losenge. Two or three
loxenges eaten after meals will prevent
the process of. figeatlon from producing
noxious gases. They will vivify a lasy

They clesnse the stomach and intes

fermentation and decay and aid digestion
by allaying gaa. They will aid you and
your stomach. The beneficial effects are
made evident after each meal wheu you
use charcoal as Stuart prepares it. To

NTW. TOHK, Feb. $-pr. Irving Fisher,
professor of .political economy at Yalei and
president of the committee of lbo on na
tional health, today proposed the expendi
ture of money, by. life insurance companies
in. a campaign of education to improve by-
genie conditions . throughout the. United
States. He gave as his justification ror, the
suggestion the fact that the. practical ap
plication of all . the reforms . now known
to modern hygiene would Increase the spn
of .human life In America more than fif
teen years or over . one-third. This .de
creased mortality, he said, would so lessen
the cost of Insurance that the returns to
policyholders would be many .times more
than the original expenditure. Then. . too,
there would be a vast economic gain to. the
country in general by reason of the pro
longation of the Uvea of trained, efficient
men. ..
Dr. Fisher made the statements to
meeting of the Association, of Life Assur
ance Presidents, which was attended by
company executives, medical directors and
actuaries as well as physicians and others
prominent In tuberculosis crusades. .-
'The Insurance men whom I have eon-
suited, as to whether it would pay life In
sura nee companies to engage in the slvlng
of lives have been unanimous In there be
lief that the step would be . a profitable
one," said Dr. Fisher. "A fell of the death
rate always promptly follows Sanitation.
Colonel Oeorgas . cut the death- rate in
Havana in two, bringing It down to .be
tween twenty and twenty-four. The New
York death rate responded at once to Col
onel Warrkig's clean streets and that of
Rochester to Dr. Oder's milk crusade.
And now It Is announced that the death
rate of New . York is 14.5, the lowest on
record."

opened for the government. He explained
that the case was against the local com
pany, which represented me American
Sugar Refining company of New Jersey.
He described the manner of. weighing
sugar on the company's scales by the

"The weigher." he said, "would sit at
one side of the scale and beside htm wit
the company's checker. We will show
that the company had a band of men who
acted as checkers and . that ' these , men
were the ones who carried out the fraud
we chsrge."

1807 the differences in the result of the
weighing by the city weigher, a man em
ployed by the South American merchants,
as against that of tbe '.United " States
weigher and the company's checker,
amounted to soms 12.000,000 pounds of sugar
in favor of the company.

That Is to say, It is the separation and
divorce of her parents which. It one goes
far enough back, brought the children Into
court' Saturday. Bly has lived In Omaha
for a yerfr. Previously he dwelt In Kansas
City, where 'his former wife, now a Mrs.
Breckenstlne, abides.
He' and the Children board wtlh a' South
Omaha woman and it was from this home
that Hazel Bly ran away with the Duvall
and Wilson girls. Mrs. Brerkanstlne seeks to
recover the children and has taken steps in
the courts of Ksnsas City to do so. They
will be held at the -Detention home pend
ing a decision in the matter. In the opin
ion of probation officers It msy be well not
to deliver them to either -parent.
Pacy.Brosky, a boy about as big ss a
minute, but with a fondness . for firearms
as large as himself, was another problem
hard to solve. His father and brother, (ho
latter both intelligent, men and both fond
of the child, were In court. The boy has
been there before and was brought in again
because he was detected stealing coil In
South Omaha. When caught a revolver

"I am tired of house work and I won't
do any more of It," declared Mabel Gruhm,

case as any other reason, although life as
a domestic does hot appeal to her In - any
way. It waa Intimated in the court room
that It was scornful remarks by other girls
Which had caused her to throw up a posi

The glr's mother, a widow, who works
hard for a scanty living, was present in
the courtroom and pleaded with' her to
agree to go back to work as a domestic or
waitress.
"Tou don't want to disgrace me In my I
old age, Mabel?" said the mother. '
1 "No, I don't," was the answer, "but I
Won't do any more house work."
The girl Is so unusually pretty,' so bright
bf mind and was to stubborn in the court
room that she attracted far more than the
usual amount of attention.
A 'financial transaction which breaks all
known records - was revealed in another
case. Three little girls bought a ring for a
dime In a 10-cent store and later succeeded
In selling It to a pawnbroker for 15 cents.
Without boasting sn extensive knowledge
of pawnbrokers and their ways one may
say this 1$ most utterly extraordinary.
Vlolette Duvall. Minnie Williams and
Hasel Bly, three little girls 1$ years of age,
were In court, having been arrested the
other day In Council Bluffs, where they
had fled. It was Vlolette who accom
plished the trick of selling the ring to the
pawnbroker for a higher sum than the
first pries. ' She and the Wilson girt were
