TIT Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex., writes: "During the summer and fall of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh reached that stage where it was actual misery and developed alarming symp toms, euoh as a very deep-seated cough, night sweats, and pains in the head and chest. I experimented with several so called remedies before I finally decided to take a thorough course of Peruna. "Twoof my friends had gone so far as to inform me that the thing for me to do was to resign my position and seek a bigher,more congenial climate. Every one thought I had consumption and-1 was not expected to livo very long. "Having procured some Peruna, I de cided to give it a thorough test and ap plied myself assiduously to the task of taking it, as per instructions, in the meantime. "The effects were soon apparent, all alarming symptoms disappeared and my general health became fully as good as it had ever been in my life. . "I have resorted to the nse of Peruna on two or three occasions since that time to cure myself of bad cold-." Illiteracy in the United States.

The diarist llearne, In writing of the Plague of London, says: "Even children were obliged to smoak. And I remember that I heard formerly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman beadle, say that when he was a school boy at Eton that, year when the plague raged all the boys of that school were obliged to smoak in the school every morning, and that he was never whipped so much In his life us he was oue morning for not smoak lug."

That's the way the average woman banks, except that she can ring in a dozen changes in as many minutes. "And the ladles, God bless 'em," said the president of one of the big trust companies, "all Jove to bank and they are all at it. The gener ality of them would rather have a bank account and have it overdrawn 7 cents than sport a solid silver purse full of ,hinln ,.nl(1 oln .U hnnk. are words snining goia coin. .iy DanK, are worus that they linger over lovingly and their , . . . . 4. elation knows no bounds when a type- written letter from the cashier requests w , ,, t . , , , Mrs. X. to call at the bank In regard to her account, which is overdrawn $3.33, "Only recently a prominent Chicago woman, upon receiving one of these no tices from our bank, rushed in breath lossly and confided to the cashier that she did notltnow any money was com ing to her, for she thought she had drawn it all out, and she asked sweetly how she could get It Should she make a check for it or woulQ the teller give It to her if she presented the slip the bank had sent her. "But it is not always the women who of a week will go over them and make them balance to a cent But a business man with a savings account very fre quently gets himself sadly tangled up. The savings bank book always seems to him to be a Chinese puzzle, and many are the breaks he will make. He will sometimes write out an tirder for his account on the bank book itself, and send some one to collect it." The women have a very satisfactory way to themselves, If not to the bank officials, of adding sufficient funds to their account to meet an overdraft. Only a few days ago a lady who had been notified that her account was bad ly overdrawn presented herself to' the cashier and asked Just what she must do to rectify the mistake. He courte ously explained that she must deposit enough money In the bank or a check large .enough to cover the amount due. Ier face brightened and she sighed as If a great load were taken off her mind, sat calmly down and wrote a check for tho amount due and she drew it upon the same account and the same bank. She does not understand to this diiV why the bank would not accept it. Just ; v give a woman a check book and there Is no telling 'to what lengths, she can nd will go. Many amusing tales of women's bank ing methods are told. An official of n Chicago banking company said a lady walked Into his bank reecntly and re quested" a loan of $500. She was asked for her security whether she owned property or land in the city. She re plied ln the negative, whereupon the official said that he was sorry, but they did not do business on such terms.- The lady was more than indignant and in sisted that he go out and look at the sign on his building and then he would very plainly see the word "trust." Sh.' guessed what that meant because her grocer trusted her and she never had to give him any security. "New money," not the sound article, is the cry of the female financier, and woe to the bank that is not prepared to hand out fresh, crisp bills and newly minted coin in return for a mixed up. badly written. Ink bedaubed check Women object strenuously to maklns out thalr own deposit slips and canno' or will rot understand that the ban' requests them to do it for their owi: protection. A preat many women re quire the teller to make out their checks. Not long ago. a bank bad an amusing experience with a new depos itor. " She confessed to the teller that she" did not know how to make a check and he made It out. for her, explatniii as he went along. Then lie handed 1 to her, saying: "Sign, madam, low line, please." She took the cheek an- delivered the goods all right, for whc.i V she returned It for payment the check was signed "Lower line" in a dainty hand. At one of the big national banks somt months ago a perfumed, crested note of a depositor of the bank read : Tlease stop payment on check No. 197, as I have accidentally burned the same." A depositor at the same bank was notified that her account was overdrawn, but still her checks continued to pour in. When they did not cease for four or flv days an official called her up on the tel ephone and told her that payment i heal, the discharge ceases, headaches are relieved and every symptom disap would be stonDed on her checks unless ! pears.

AUTOS CHURN BUTIEB. nefo Farmer UtllUea Hoot-Wasron While They Are Crossing Bridge "The road that runs from Denver out past Petersburg and on down to Little ton, Castle- lock, Larkspur, Palmer Lake, Colorado Springs and all points south" passes the home of John C. Muler and Is thickly traversed by auto mobiles." In fact, one of those joy bug gies comes sky-hootln' along about ev ery second, or perhaps oftener, keeping peaceable residents of that community either sidling along as close to the edge of the road as the barb wire will per mit, or climbing trees. It occurred to Muler that with all those autos streaming by he might util ize them to his own advantage, and auto-churned butter is the result. There's a small bridge, about 20 feet long, over a little ditch ln front of his house. He just took up the floor of thr hrMM flnrl rplnM If. ln cnrrlrnvw fashion, with round pieces of timber set -' - ---o " - . -.. -. - ..... very closely together, but which revolve When an auto or any other vehicle strikes them. Then, under that bridge and attached to the logs, he framed up a system of cogs which work whenever the bridge floor ' does. He carried a piece of belting to the house and at tached it to the handle of a revolving churn. Now, every time anything passes over that bridge the floor turns, and' the turning of the floor turns his churn, over and over, with marvelous rapidity. The autos and other vehicles come so closely together that Muler soon hns a moss of very fine butter churned up, S. MAY SAVE MANY LIVES. Sticker on Bottle Warning; It Con N ' tain Poison. As long as people, through careless ness or otherwise, will continue to ad minister poison ln mistake for medi cine, in many cases causing death to the patient, radical measures must be adopted to prevent such accidents. A California man, in working on the prob lem, devised a scheme which should undoubtedly prove effective. Accord ingly he patented the Idea. The poison is sold only in bot tles of peculiar form, the surface consisting of numer ous projecting points. If a person In haste picks up the poison bottle in mistake for another potion he will be lulckly apprised of the fact by the stickers on the bottle. These stickers will naturally inform him at once that he has the wrong bottle, causing blm to drop It hastily and continue his search. - The Occasion (or It. ; "He says he never prayed ln all his lfe." - . ; "What a monotonous existence!

POWEB FROM PASSING ATJTOSJ. i oil o i& J o jit I'o c o The entire inner portion of our .bodies is covered with a soft, delicata lining called mucous membrane; this is kept in healthy condition by the nourishment and vital vigor it receives from the blood. So long as the circulation remains pure this membrane will be healthy, but when the blood becomes infected with catarrhal impurities and poisons this inner lining of the body becomes irritated and diseased, and the unpleasant and serious symptoms of Catarrh commence. There is a tight, stuffy feeling in the nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deafness, difficult breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though such measures afford temporary relief in some instances.
