SPANISH MISSIONS IN TEXAS.
Remarkable Ambition of Presumably
Untrained Builders.
There are In Texas the remains of
five missions, located in and around
the old town of San Antonio de Bexar,
one of the claimants to primogeniture
among the cities of our land, says Olaf
Z. Cervin In the Architectural Record. J
The names of these are: Del Alamo
(1700 or. 1703) 1744; De la Concepcion
(171(5), 1731; San Jose de Aguayo (1720),
1725; San Juan de Capistrano (1731
); San Francisco de laEspado
(1716), 1731. The dates within the
brackets are of the founding.
Little, Indeed, but the churches re
main. These being of stone and well
i built have pretty successfully with
I stood time, wars and relic hunters.
They are remarkable for elaborate
I carving and sculpture, few of the oth
ers being comparable with them in this
respect. At San Juan there vrere once
j five full figures and also small cherubs,
(but vandalism has destroyed, or re
moved most of them. -
The ornamental carving, confined in
new Spain as In old to the doorways
and windows, is In Spanish rococo of
the most unrestrained type, but not
without elegance and charm. A bap
tistery window from San Jose is fair

the entrance. - Three of the six " still I

two missions bad no bell towers, but
the front .walls were carried up . and
the bells hung in two stories of arches.
This had been done long before in the

arches Is still older, recurring often

I Have Every Reason to Praise Pe-ru-tia,"
WRITES MRS. KANE, OF CHICAGO
. 172 JeborJl. Chicago. Iu. "Ill fc" 3& V
Mrs. K. Kane, 172 Sebor Street, Chi
cago, 111., writes: -
"Peruna has been used so long in
our family that I do not know how I
could get along without it- I have
given it to all of my children at differ
ent times when they suffered with
croup, colds and the many ailments
that children are subject to, and am
pleased to say that it has kept them
in splendid health. I have also nsed
it for a catarrhal difficulty of long
standing and it cured me In a short
time, so I have every reason to praise
Peruna." Mrs. K. Kane.
Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal'
Diseases.
One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect, the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious . problem, and often impossi
ble. .Sooner or later it is the inevitable
fate of very one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of prop
er clothing will protect from the fre
quency and perhaps the severity of
colds, but with the greatest of piecau
tions they will come. This is a settled
fact of human experience. Everybody
must expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, .or damp clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the ' United
States are protected from colds and ca
tarrh by Peruna. Once in the family

Mrs. A. Hobson, 225 Washington

"Peruna has been such a blessing
to my only child, as well as myself,
that I feel induced to give my testi
monial. He has always suffered from
catarrn oi tne head and throat, and l
had to use extra precautions so as not
to have him exposed to damp or cold"
weather. - Last year he was taken
with la grippe, and as it was a severe
case, caused me much anxiety. No
medicine helped him till he took Pe
runa. I noticed an improvement at
once and in three, weeks he was a dif
ferent Child; the grippe had been com
pletely cured and' I noticed that the
catarrh was made better. He kept
taking it two weeks longer, when he
was entirely well. -1 now use it off
and on for colds, cramps, Indigestion
or general indisposition, and find it
superior to any doctors or medicine 1
ever tried. It keeps me, as well as
my child, in perfect health, and I
gladly recommend it to mothers."
