RESTORED BY PERUNA
Catarrh Twenty-live Years--Kad
a Bad Cough.
Miss Pophia Kittleson, Evanston,
Illinois, U. S. A., writes:
"I have been tronbled with catarrh
for nearly twenty-five year?, and have ' tralia
tried many cures for it, but obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and I did.
"My health mas very poor at the
time I began taking Peruna. My throat
was very nor and I had a bad oouah.
"Peruna has cured me. The chronic
catarrh Is tone and my health is very
much improved.
"I recommend Prruna to all my
friends who are troubled as I was."
PERUNA TABLETS: Some people pre
fer tablets, rather than medicine in a
fluid form. Such people can obtain
Peruna tablet, which represent the
medicinal ingredients of Peruna.
Each tablet equals one aveiage dose
of Peruna.

J. It. Hose, a yeoman at the navy re- '

"The average man doesn't realize how
strong Is the custom of thrusting his
hands in his trousers pockets until he .
dons a pair without pockets. I've worn
the navy uniform four years now, and
I frequently find myself trying to put
Iny hands in iny pockets." Kansas City

living objects not of mere microscopic

desideratum In this respect. It Is
shaped like a telescope, a foot Ion;

mav be macmifled 12 diameters. At a
distance of 5 Inches the magnification
Is 00 diameters.

Motor boating on the Mississippi
has taken a remarkable advance In
popularity In the last season. Motor
boat clubs have been organized at all
of the smaller towns along the river,
as well as at the cities, and there Is

Mississippi River motor-boat associa

were a dozen launches in LaCrosse
waters there are now more than 150,

Wettern Dealgnera Expect Their
Nen Craft to Beat All Recorda.
A era ft with the speed of an express
train has long been the dream of sev
eral motor-boat enthusiasts along the
upper Mississippi River and several de
signers have been working- together
with the result that they have produced
n boat with which they expect to shat
ter all the present records, says the
New York World.
Frank Titus of Fountain City, Wis.,
formerly owned the fustest boat on the
river in the famous I!ut, the Bmall
craft which attained a speed of nearly
twenty miles an hour with a nine-horse
power engine and for three seasons held
the speed record on the upper river.
The Hat has been sold to a physician
at Cnssvllle, Wis., and her engines will
be used In another craft.
Until the advent of the Chief of Rec
ord, formerly owned by A. Gardner ol
Winona, the Hat outclassed all boats
on tho river, large and small, and could
lenvo the fastest steamboats In the
stern waves.
Gardner's boat, 25 feet long, with
a nlne-horse-power engine and 4-foot
beam, was, until the middle of ,the
season, the fastest boat In that terri
tory. At Wabasha on July 4, In the
I motor-boat races, the Chief of Record
'outran the Bat and other boats en
tered and finished nearly a half-mile
In the lead In a six-mile course. The
Chief of Record attained a speed of
twenty miles an hour and for the
! horse-power Installed was considered
j the fastest boat between St. Louis and
. St. Paul.
Late In July the Skip, owned by
Eugene P. Gleason, of LaCrosse, was
launched at Red Wlnf and clearly out
classed other water racers. The Skip
Is 32 feet long, with a 4-foot beam and
Is equipped with a twelve-horse-power
motor In three cylinders. The Skip
has attained as high as twenty-two
1 and a half miles an hour, but through
failure to provide a sufficient cooling
apparatus for the engine is unable to
maintain this pace Indefinitely.
1 The Skip now holds the sieed rec
ord on that part of the river with the
1 exception of a boat of the same de
, sign, which Is 85 feet long and Is
! equipped with a slxteeh-horse-power
j three cylinder motor. The new boat,
, however, has not entered Into compe
' tltlon with the speed records, although
'she is said to run nearly a mile an
hour faster than the Skip.
I A remarkable feature of motor boat
ing on the Mississippi la the speed at
tained by boats with little horse pow
er. While tho crafts on the Atlantic
coast and the lakes require from fifty
to seventy-flve horse power before a
speed of twenty miles an hour can be
attained, none of the fastest boats on
New Industry Developed by tbe De
mand for tbe "Hot Thing;."
"Do you know," said the tamale fiend
to a Kansas City Times man, "that a
good part of the profit In the tamale
trade goes to the farmers of Johnson
County, Kansas?"
"Oh,, shucks I" returned the other. .
"Yes, that's just It The farmers out
there supply the Kansas City market
with the corn husks the tamales are
wrapped In, and it would surprise you
to learn the extent of tbe business. Any
old corn husk won't do for the business,
either. If you'll look at these you'll
see the texture Is very close, the sur
face smooth and that the lengths are
uniform. Only the inner husk Is used,
the flue white covering that grows next
to the ear. The proper length is about
nine Inches, to allow for the ends be
ing folded over the tamale when it is
steamed, as you see them now."
"Why, who'd go to all that bother
for a dinky little business like this?"
asked the listener Incredulously.
"Bother? Dinky? Say, do you know
these corn husks are shipped In here in
500-pound bales? That's quite a re
spectable sized industry, I take it At
any rate, the Kansas farmers have
found It profitable enough to go to the
expense of buying presses to bale the
product and a large agricultural supply
house in Kansas City finds It worth
while to carry It In stock and cater to
the trade of the tamale men."
"What Is the particular advantage
of using corn husks for this purpose?"
asked the listener. "Isn't there any
thing else that Would do?"
"Nothing that would answer as many
purposes. The corn husk holds the
tamale while It, is cooked and at the
same time Imparts a flavor to it' It
also holds the heat as nothing else
would."
"Well, It beats me!" said the other
man, as they went on. "I never gave
It much thought, but always supposed
the tamale men bought up all the old
mattresses to get their corn husks."

From the Washington State College, Pullman.
The experiment station has received
a letter from J. A. B., of Everett, ask
ing how to exterminate the Canadian
thistle. Professor W. S. Thornber,
horticulturist, replied as follows :
"The Canadian thistle Is a hard
plant to fight, but by Judicious cut
ting and cultivation you can eradi
cate It. The plant must be kept from
forming a growth above the surface
of the ground for at least one year
In order that your efforts for its ex
termination may be successful. The
plant spreads by underground stems,
or roots, which are thrown up at dis
tances of from three to six feet from
the parent plant, so merely destroy
in? the mother plant will not kill
the weed. A good cutting during
the month of June, followed by other
cuttings in the latter part of July
and on through August will check
the thistle materially, and may de
stroy it entirely. It is generally
quite difficult to eradicate the plant
In pastures and fence corners, since
a small residue will be left unde
stroyed, which will grow durng the
following year. There is no spray
that will kill it. Sometimes it is
helpful to cut the thistle off about
three inches below the surface of
the ground, which causes the root
to rot by drying out. In cultivated
fields it is advisable to rake out the
underground stems, and allow them
to dry thoroughly before plowing
again.

Another inquiry from Seattle re
lates to the culture of chestnuts. The
correspondent was advised as fol
lows: "The American chestnut (the reg
ular, tall-growing variety) should be
pruned the same as any other shade
tree, leaving, however, a permanent,
or constant leader, through the cen
ter of the tree. This is the practice
of the Experiment Station, and one
that is used upon all forms of the
tall, or upright, growing trees. It is
also used upon the sweet cherries,
but not upon the sour ones.
"The tendency of this chestnut is
to produce a thin, open top, and it is
advisable to cut back the outer limbs,
and occasionally the leader, to thick
en the foliage. The Dwarf, or Jap
anese, chestnuts should be pruned
to small, compact trees, branching
them from a foot to three feet from
the ground. They will practically
take care of themselves after the
first year or two of pruning. This
pruning may be done at any time
while the tree Is dormant, or after
the sap has ceased to flow, which

Black-Eyed Marrow Fat as the best
general variety. Ordinarily we sow
the peas at the rate of one to one
and one-half bushels per acre, disk
ins or drilling them at least four
inches deep. Sow the oats about a
week after the peas are sown, as
the latter grow so much stronger
and consequently, the oats will be
smothered out unless they are given
the advantage. We do not consider
that oats and peas are as good for
horses as for cows. The mixture

MALARIA
Malaria is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of being1
rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the svstem in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow faces and washed out. chalky complexions among the first
3 mptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general svstemic disease, and as
the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have moreseriou3
uid complicated symptoms ; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
cf the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
lever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and "no account " feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave his heajth permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary.

but nothing did me any good until I began
to use S. S. S. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was as well and
strong as I ever was. I have never had a
