THE SUNDAY OKBGONLIN, TORTLAKD, W.A.Y 11, INTERIOR GLIMPSES OF A GREAT INSTITUTION AMONG the finest business offices of the commercial -world are the administra tion buildings of The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co., of Columbus. O. The ever-accelerating ..rivalry of modem business equipments has transformed the dingy, un wholesome places of business of a generation ago to veritable palaces where esthetic adorn ments and splendid architecture find their highest expression. No lavish of costly materials is withheld, no perfection detail or elegance of finish is spared. Vying with the royal mansions of medieval splendor, the up-to-date palace of commerce, where the tremendous currents of trade are regulated and controlled with swiftness and accuracy, combines every convenience, comfort and artistic decoration that art and wealth can produce. One of the latest achievements of this sort are the offices above referred to, where the immense business of supplying the world with Peruna is transacted. Administration Department of the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio. MMHmMlO" J-X't-- ly used among a religious sect In "Peruna" and "catarrh" are two (mil v IT is in this elegant office that the greater part of the work is performed or carrying oa Dr. Hartmaa's prodigious correspondence. Five hundred Tetters coming, daily fr,om all parta of the civilized world, asking for advice, counsel and Instruction on various subjects in which a physician is usually consulted, are answered every day under the direct management of Dr. Hartman. This correspondence makes- available to. millions of people the vast experience and resources of one of the most renowned physicians of the present age. Information on every detail of health and disease Is sought and supplied daily, bringing to the most distant home professional guidance and expert knowledge, absolutely free of charge. A single consultation with a physician with the renown of Dr. Hartman would cost even the poorest of the people at least $100. but through the perfect organization and immense equipment of the- Pe runa Drug Manufacturing Company, Dr. Hartman is enabled to give to all inquirers freely the. ablest opinion and the most valuable assistance with out charge. An untold multitude of catarrh victims of both sexes are by the assistance, of this continuous con sultation permanently cured. The doctor gives especial attention to that class of ailments which afflict womankind. Many thousands of women are cured every year, a large per cent of whom would otherwise have found their way to the operating table or to ' the hospital. In writing to Dr. Hartman for medical advice, each patient should state clearly her symptoms and duration of sickness, also describe with soma detail the treatment she has previously received. 5 The main business office has a floor space of 16. 000 square feet, furnishing ample room for the one hundred trained clerks employed in this depart ment. This room, glimpses of which are given in the above sketches, is the acme of Twentieth-Century achievements. Abundantlj- lighted, day and night; perfectly ventilated; symmetrically heated and provided with every detail of the most exquisite sanitation. Heavily beamed and paneled ceilings of stucco and cement, with old ivory finish, bespangled with myriads of electric lights, sustained by a score of massive onyx pillars on marble pedestals.

All these have been brought together in har monious relation by two years' labor of skilled architects and artists. Pc-ro-Ba's Popularity. Peruna cures catarrh. This Is an amply suf ticicnt reason why It should become popular. Catarrh is almost universal. Catarrh is diffi cult to cure. The doctors do not always recog nize catarrh. It therefore follows that when a remedy Is devised that can be used by any one in the home at u moderate cost, such a remedy should Inevitably become popular. THE remedy, Peruna, is In reality a very old remedy. The basis lor the formula by whlcn reru- na is made first appeared In "Doctor Beech's Family Medicine," which was published more- than 40 years ago. The formula was then known as the Neutralizing Mixture. Dr. Beech's Family Medicine was quite extensive ly used among a religious sect In Southern Pennsylvania, known as tho Mcnnonites. It became an early ambition of Dr. Hartman to put this formula before the world In such a way that others besides the Mennonltes might derive its benefits. After considerable mod ification of the formula and perfec tion of its pharmaceutical qualities, he finally succeeded in establishing the remedy under the trade name of "Pe-ru-na." At first, tho Doctor prescribed it only for his regular patients, but very soon the demand became so grcat for Peruna that he was obliged to establish a manufactory devoted exclusively to its production. The story of the growth of Peruna reads like a romance. "When once the people began to find out its true mer its, its popularity became phenomenal. Never before In the history of medicine has a remedy become so universally recognized and so widely used. There Is no -other medicine in the world that commands such vast finan cial resources and there Is no other rem edy that can. marshal such a host of testimonials from all classes of people. "Peruna" and "catarrh" are two words In the English language that have become so associated by constant usage that few English-speaking peo ple In the world can separate the two words in their minds. Pcruna is not a cure-all. but a remedy for catarrh In every phase and stage. This explains Its immense popularity. Congressman Rccommcadii Pe-ra-na. Hon. F. Y. Fitzpatrick. Congressman from Kentucky, writes: I can cheer fully recommend your remedy to any one suffering with catarrh or who needs a good tonic." Promlaent Army General Uses Pe-ra-na Gen. Wm. Cooper. Talley. of "Wash ington. D. C. In writing of Peruna. says: "Your Peruna has been used by me and my friends as a relief for ca tarrhal troubles with tho most benefi cial results." , w MOWS WIDE SWATH Tornado Lays Bare Country Near Texas Town.

WHOLE FAMILIES ARE DEAD Iiist or Victims Runs Up to 100, and All Arc Hastily Buried. Eleven Fcsscndcns In One Trench. SNYDER. Okla.. May 13. All the recov ered bodies of victims of Wednesday night's tornado have been buried, shipped away or shipment provided for: the homeless persons have found shelter and the wounded are being carefully attended. Eleven members of the Fesscndcn family were killed. Their bodies will be seat to Gridlcy, Kan., for burial. Trained nurses from Oklahoma City, Lawton and Hobart arc leaving nothing undone to relieve the suffering of the wounded. However, the hospital facili ties are far from being good. There are a dozen of the seriously wounded in one building oa beds, side by side In two rows, with an aisle between. The dally rains are making matters much worse. A perfect flood "visited the town yester day and another one this morning. All the roofs were damaged by the tornado, and the water entered the hospital In a torent. The patients were protected as well as possible by the use of tarpaulin?. But for all that, the temporary hospital could scarcely be kept dry. The homeless people are still quartered in the fragments of houses not rendered wholly uninhabitable by the -storm. They are badly crowded and are denied the comforts of life that more shelter would afford. The town is well policed, a patrol of 40 men being kept on duty all the time. A dozen of the engineer corps of the Okla homa National Guard from Lawton are on duty and are rendering valuable serv ices. In consequence of the strict watch kept over the town, no act of lawlessness of any kind has been reported. It is nec essary that the guards be maintained owing to the fact that all the windows and. many of the fronts of the buildings were demolished. The towns of the territory have re sponded nobly to the call of the pros trate city. Relief has come from every quarter of the territory and from cities outside. Olustee. a small town on the 'Frisco, 20 miles- west of Snyder, was struck this morning by a tornado and almost wholly destroyed. No deaths are reported, but several persons were painfully bruised. Houses were demolished and many of the Inhabitants of the little village are homo less and -are left without shelter. The last of the dead left were buried this afternoon, and the members of the Fessenden family were Interred In a trench. Mrs. Jack Hunter, who was among the injured, died this afternoon. At least four others. Miss Mlze. Mr. Paul son. Miss Grace Busser and Miss Maggie Murphy cannot survice. and the -addition of those four will bring the death list to 100. It is probable that others will die. Nineteen Injured remain In the town tonight. A larger building is being re paired by carpenters for use-as a hospital and it is probable that the patients will be removed to the new quarters and cared for here instead of being subjected to the ordeal of .reaaoval to some other point. Mayor Stevenson today issued a procla mation directing aK persona to. be ofc the streets by o'clock-at night and. .'asking ill -dtlaeas te clear their preatees ef debris as soon as possible in order to prevent sickness.

An incident of the day. which served to illustrate tho many heartrending scenes witnessed occurred when the six bodies of tne" HIbbard family were being lowered into the graves. Little Jonn, cged 10 years, the only survivor, stood by the graves and wept bitterly, while tears flowed down the cheeks of a hunJred men. . Heavy rains continue, considerably retarding the work of relief. Various reports have been received hereiof se vere storms in this section last 'night and today, but no definite information has been received- Rumors, however, serve to excite the people, many of whom are already on the verge of col lapse. To add to the distress hardly a dry room can be found in the town and there Is fear that sickness may follow the continued exposure. Relief Trains Sent Out. LAWTON, O. T.. May 13. The physi cians of this city today contracted with the county for the use of Its hospital to care for the wounded who are being brought In. Arrangements are being made to bring wounded here.

Rebate Prosecution Forms Basis of Talk or Cabinet Split; but - IbodV Refuses to Tell Its Status. WASHINGTON. May 13. (Special.) Secretary Morton again denied today that he had any intention of resigning his po sition in the Cabinet. His denial came as an answer toTa printed report to the effect that he would leave the Cabinet this Fall. He said, however, that it was thoroughly understood between the Presi dent and himself that he should leave the Cabinet next Fall. Mr. Morton's friends intimate that his plan? for the future are "indefinite." an expression that fits exactly to the prob able demands of the situation here as it affects the Secretary of the Navy and the Cabinet situation, which has risen to such importance over the railroad rate question as to be called here a "Cabinet crisis." While Mr. Morton's speech before the International Railroad Congress Is the basis for most of the rumors of disagree ment between himself and the President, the real acute situation lies in the' Santa Fe investigation now being conducted by Judson S. Harmon, attorney of the De partment of Justice. The friends of -Mr. Morton insist that the breach between, the President and Mr. Mortori"bver the rate question is not nearly so wide as is reported and that Mr. Morton la really In favor of railroad rate legislation. , -On the other hand, the action of Attorney-General Moody concerning the Santa Fe rebate case is significant. He declined today to give the status of that case be fore the Department- of Justice, but a long conference with the President yes terday Is believed to have been devoted In part to this question. aiUST IiISTEN" TO OUR VOICE Russia Recognizes Importance of Mission to Washington.

No political party and no newspaper has Invited a continuance of the existing status of trade with America. Most of the moderate organs of public opinion Insist that the policy of former Chancellor von Caprivi of laying upon American goods the same duties as on the goods of treaty countries, which se cured reductions only by making corre sponding reductions on their Imports from Germany, could under no circumstances be continued. Along with such discussions there is complaint at the fact that the United States buys about only half as much from Germany as Germany buys from the United States. This is attributed to the high duties of the American tariff, and it is asked that the United States reduce its duty to some thing nearer the German level. Eight-Hour iLaw Applies to Canal. WASHINGTON. May 13. In an opin ion rendered by Attorney-General Moody regarding the application of the eight-hour law to the employes of the Isthmian Commission on the Isthmus of Panama, the Attorney-General holds that the law applies to those employes.
