perfectly free from a cough. I am glad
touy that Peruna cured me entirely.
“I take Peruna occasionally, when I
do not feel well, and I also give it to my
children.
‘•Peruna is the best medicine for coughs
udcolds. I have told many people how
Buch Peruna has helped ine.”
Mrs. Hettie Green, R. R. No. 6, Iuka,
Hl., writes as follows of the efficacy of
Peruna:
L<-lA«t November I had catarrh and
felt so miserable I thought that I would
go into consumption.
“I tried so many doctors and medicines
but nothing did me any good, only
Peruna.
“After I began the use of Peruna I be
gan to improve in every way. My head
did not hurt so much, my stomach is all
right, my bowels are regular, my appe
tite good, my complexion clear, my
eyea are bright and am gaining in flesh
and strength.
“I think Peruna has no equal as a ca
tarrh remedy."
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de
cresses the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh*
ing sleep.
Runs High
As hostess of the Inter-collegiate
Oratorical Association of Oregon to
day, Monmouth gave herself com
pletely to the college spirit, which
was everywhere manifested by the
enthusiasm of the friends of the com
peting Institutions for the honors of
the annual contest.
The business
houses and numerous residences were
gaily decorated with the colors and
pennants representing all the con
testing schools, and
across Main
street was a banner with the State
Normal's welcome to the association.
In fact, the town had a holiday
pearance.

took on a darker and more ominous
shade today, when the dowager em
press, Ann, stepped into the contro
versy and forbade the surrend-r by
the foreign office of the Japanese
steamer Tatsu Mam, held by the Chi
nese.
The empress Is being strongly sup
ported by the strongest members of
her personal court, who are urging
that China fight rather than submit
to the indignities of Japan's ultima
tum.
Against the empress is pitted Yu
an Hsl Kai and the officials of the
foreign minister’s office, who favor
peace at any price at this time, owing
to the internal disorders in China
and the activity of the liberal rebels.
Tile foreign office is understood to
have arked the British minister to
get his government to arbitrate.
