MR. CEO. H. THOMPSON.
At Work On the farm and
Ferllns Well All the Time.
Geo. H. Thompson, Crft,
Hiss., writog;
"I have been cured of ca
tarrh by your medicines,
Peruns and Manalln. I had
been affected with catarrh of
the stomach about all my
life, and was taken bad every
Bpringfcnd Bummer.
; "I used several kinds of
patent medicines, but they
did me no good. I then took
s treatment under an M. D ,
-which did me but little rood.
By this time I had come to
where I could est nothing but
little soup. I had severe
pains, had lost in weight and could
Hot do anything. I began taking
your medicines, Peruna and Manalln. I
then weighed 126 pounds, but after tak
ing several bottles of Peruna and
one bottle of Manalln, I weighed 166
pounds.
"I am now at work on the farm and
feel well all of the time. I eat all I
Want to and my friends say that I look
better than ever before. I will ever
praise Pernna for its healing power."
Pe-ru-na Is a Systemic Remedy.
If Peruna proves efficient for catarrh
In one place, it will be equally potent
In any other place, because it is a sys
temic remedy.
The people generally are very much
misinformed aa to the natureof catarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed to be con
fined to the head, nose and throat.
Lately we sometimes hear of catarrh of
the stomach and catarrh of the bowels.
Seldom, if ever, do we bear of catarrh
of any other organs.
It is not because these organs are not
tubject to catarrh, nor that catarrh of
these organs is not a very common dis
ease, but simply because it Is not gener
ally known that affections of these
organs may be due to catarrh.

PLAYING THE GAME.
One of the most picturesque types
of western men Is that of the old
time rattle king, the men who used
the open range, counted their herds
by the square miles of territory which
tbtry occupied and who played the
game of the stock Induttry to the
highest limit.
Bu'.-h a man was In Pendleton this
week, on his way to his Montana
home, where thousands of head of
cattle were perishing from the cold
while he was in Pendleton.
When he received a message here
saying that one herd of 1500 head
hal perished, he was engaged In ft
gnme of billiards. He read the mes

Climatic Ailments Overcame By
Pe-ru-na.
Mr. W. J. Temple, B. P. D. 8, Dela
ware, Ohio, writes:
"I am a farmer and so necessarily
must be exposed to all kinds of weather.
About three yeara ago last winter, I
was taken sick with bowel and stomach
trouble.
"One doctor called It ulceration of
the bowels, another called it colitis.
Another doctor helped me tempo
rarily. "Then a druggist ' recommended
Peruna and 1 followed his advice. I
took altogether five bottles and I con
sider myself a well man.
"Before nsing Peruna, it was utterly
impossible for me to do a day's work,
but now I can do farm work without
the least trouble or fatigue. I consider
Peruna the best medicine and tonlo on
the market.
"I had not eaten a meal for five years
without distress until I took Peruna,
I have recommended it to several
frienda with good results."

of tr:e same."
He ha l just received an order from
the l.'nited PMte government to re- ,
nove f'-nces from several thousand
res of government land, which was
Included in his immense pastures.
Without thse pastures he must retire

1'he order meant that he was doom
ed to go out of business. Rut he
iidn't complain. He had entered the

fate won, he made no outcry. He
imply took his medicine. He had
pluysd the game as best he knew

anted triumph and defeat and phllo-
ophlcally accepted the result
He 'rs simply playing the game.
Theie will nt-ver be another like
this type. The broad fweep and open
plains of the west made thlB type of
men from a peculiar brand of clay
and no other country on earth offers
this opportunity.
Big and broad and tolerant; fear-
les, philosophical, daring and yet
guided by keen Insight and Inspired
with the spirit of adventure, this pio
neer type will never find a counter
part in the history of the world.
Conditions can never combine again
to make this type of man. The face
of the world Iv changing. Industries
are molding other forms of character.
The plainsman, once gone, will
never return.
HITCHCOCK NOT TO BLAME.
In order to "get even" on ex-Sec

seem to be the cheapest form of po

btartcd by Secretary Hitchcock have

DR. HARTMAN,
Dr. S. B. Hartman, the inventor and
original manufacturer of Peruna, is one
of the best farmer in the Middle West.
His farm comprises several thousand
acres of the best land in the Stat of
Ohio, located near the City of Columbus.
As an importer of French Percheron
and German Coach horses, the Doctor
has not an equal In this -country.
The fowl-raising department U a
marvel of ingenuity and perfection;
but, perhaps the dairy department is
where the Doctor shows his greatest
sense of order and sanitary science.
His milk cows, of the purest Jersey
stock, have all been subjected to the
tuberculin tests, and he gives to the
City of Columbus a pure milk, certified
by the Board of Health.
The milk stables, the milk men and
the whole process of milking are ab
solutely faultless and clean.
The Doctor himself, past 70 years of age,

CHAXCES lOU ROYS.
The tletartments of the United
states government all need young
men today as never before. The rec
lamation department has openings
for hundreds of live. Intelligent sober
youv.g men. The forestry department
is In need of new life bood which
It nn only receive from the- virile
young men of the eountry.
Young men who can speak one of
the leading modern languages Ger
man, Spanish or French, In addition
to good English, are In Sharp de
mind as secretaries and assistants In
the consular service. This service Is
being Improved and placed above Its
former narrow political plane. The
government has recognised that It
must have educated, live, aggressive
men In the consular service, if this
na'lnn Is to hold its own with other
arrgrerpive commercial nations.
All of these opportunities are
beckoning to the young American. It
is a day of rapid promotion and tho

and moral stuff In him need not re

THE VICTIM NEXT DOOR.
There Is ft startling suggestion In
the repeated reports of health author
ities upon the spread of consumption
In the United States.
Every succeeding report brings new
evidence of its increasing ravages and
wher It is considered that 10 things
are being jdone to encourage Its spread
to where one Is done to check It, the
erfousncss of the situation Is realiz
ed.
Every day new revelations are
made. Every day you discover, to
your consternation, that some neigh
bor, some friend, some acquaintance,
some associate Is suffering from some
' form of the "great white plague."
Indiscreet marriages, improper
' sanitation, careless personal habits,
filthy alleys, gutters, back streets
and premises all breed Its Insidious
germs, all furnish rapid Incubation

A direct personal effort on part of

When navies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things.
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagle's wings.
When memory of battles
At last Is strange and old.
When nations have one banner
And creeds have found one fold,
When tho hand that sprinkles mid
night With Its powdered drift of suns
Has hurtied this tiny tumult
Of sects and swords and guns.
Then Hate's last note of discord
In all God's worlds shall cease,
In the conquest which Is service,
In the vlctoty which Is peace!
