John W. Gleniater, of Providence, R.
I., champion long distance swimmer of
America, has performed notable feats
in this country and England. He has
used Peruna as a tonic and gives his
opinion of it in the following letter:
New York.
The Pervma Medicine Company,
Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen "This spring for the :
: first time I have taken two bottles of :
: Peruna, and, as it has done me a :
; great deal of good, I feel as if I
: ought to say a good, word for its
: worth.
"During the springtime for the last :
: few years, I have taken several kinds of '
; spring tonics, and have never received
: any benefit whatever. 1 lus year,
i through the advice of a friend, I have
: tried Peruna and it has given satisfac- :
; bon.
"I advise aB athletes who are about
: to eo in training to try a bottle, for it :
: certainly gets the system in good
1 shape. Yours truly,
I JOHN W. GLENISTER.
Odd Animal Tjaws.
When a dog was unlawfully killed in
countries differing so widely as Ger
many and Arabia the owner of the an
imal used to be indemnified in the fol
lowing manner: The dog was hung up
by the tail, with the point of its muz
zle touching the ground, and the man
who had committed the offense was
obliged to pour over It corn or flour
until the carcass was completely hid
. den by the heap. This heap then be
came the property of the man who
owned the dog.
Ia Syria there was. a specially curi
ous variation, for If it were a street
dog that was killed the flour was
made into bread and given to its fel
lows. No doubt this arose from the
value atttached in those old parts to
street dogs as scavengers. By the old
Welsh laws of Howel the damages for
killing an animal belonging to another
were assessed in the same odd manner-.
Notes on the May Century.
General attention is being called

widespread religious awakening. Now
it ia Australia or Wales or New Zea
land that is affected ; then amazing re
ports come from Korea; next, perhaps,
are extraordinary returns from Los An

conditions will be discussed , by Henry
E. Elliot in the May Century under
the title of "Tlje World-wide Spiritual

OLD 8 ORES SilS
Nothing is more offensive than an old sore lArAfiUiLrvwU
that refuses to heal. Patiently, day after day, it is treated and nursed, every
salve, powder, etc., that is heard of is tried, but does no good, until the very
sight of it grows offensive to the sufferer and he becomes disgusted and mor

that produces cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore. The cause is in
the blood and as long as it

uu vjai .i.n .e e
ATHLETES realize the importance of
keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be good, the cir
culation perfect, sleep regular and
enough of it.
If the -slightest catarrhal condition
of lungs or stomach is allowed to re
main, 'neither digestion nor sleep will
be strength-sustaining.
Those who lead very active lives, like
athletes, with good muscular development,
find the spring months especially tryii g.
Athletes every where praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of a tonic that dispels phys
ical depression.
The vocation of some men may allow
them to endure the depressing feelings ir
ddent to spring weather, but the athle e
must never allow himself to get "under t
weather.
He must keep in the "pink of ceadl
tion" all the time.
In order to do this he must avail
himself of a spring tonic upon which
he can rely.
Therefore Athletes are especially friend
ly toward Peruna.
Peruna never fails them.
Man to Be Disease Proot
It has already been suggested that
the appendix should be removed from
every infant as jl routine measure.
But this is dearly insufficient, says
the British Medical . Journal. The
surgery of the future must include
far more than this. The tonsils and ;
turbinate bones of the nose must be
cut out, because they may harbor
germs. What Arbuthnot Lane calls
the "human cesspool" (that is, the large
intestine), must be removed along
with a considerable part of the upper
portion of the alimentary canal, be
cause it won't be needed when we be
gin to live on M. Berthelot's tabloids
and pills. ' The , too readily decaying
teeth will be pulled out in early life
and the germ-propf store variety In
serted. The failing human eye will
be anticipated by spectacles in early
youth. Deficient moral sense and de
generacy will be treated by ventilation
of the brain and removal of the offend
ing areas.
Thus protected against the perils of
civilization, the man of the coming
centuries will be. able in his journey
throught life to defy the countless ene
mies ..that seek to rob him of health

Effects of Prosperity.
In the six years of tbe country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuSs advanced
5 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products 50.1 percent., and
clothing 24.1. All these were products
of the farmer and stockman, who
profited more than any other "lass of
the community by these advances. The
nv'ner benefitted 42.1 per cent, by tbat
advance in the average price of metals.
Ttie only decrease in the average prices
of commodities in that period was in
railway freight rates, which decreased
from .798 per ton-mile in 1897, to .763
in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The
report of the Interstate Commerce com
mission shows that the average increase
in the pay of railroad employes in that
period was a trifle above 8.5 per cent.
