Is Peruna Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a list of the ingredients ofPe
Tnna be submitted to any medical ex
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test of many
years' experience in the treatment cf
such diseases. THERE CAR BE UO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
JETEBL Peruna is composed of the most
efHcacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred
ient of Peruna has areputation of its
own in the cure ofsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
DIHED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not leastjbrings to the home the
vast and varied experience of Dr. Hart
man, in the use of catarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may bo of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the na
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
J3ELNG ANY BELIEF.
Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary for
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the foil
inspection of the critics,

HE keen gray eyes of the elder
man searched the blue ones on
the opposite side of the gate.
In them was a certain honesty
strongly tinctured with a look of re
lief.
"I can't tell you how much obliged
I am. Mr. Keame," the young man
said. "I couldn't help but feel that
uow ibis trouble has come you wouldn't
want me around."
? "I've lived right here on this farm
for fifty-six years." replied Reame.
"and there's uo one above ground who
can say that 1 ever asked man, woman
or child to take part in any of ray
quarrels."
The young man nodded. "There isn't
many meu who can say that."
"It isn't that I've anything against
your father in this affair." continued
She turned and left incm.
Reame. "But for nearly sixty years
I've watched the birds build their
nests in those trees. I climbed those
hickories for nuts when I wasn't big
ger than a pint of cider, and if s been
to those maples that I've looked for
the first signs of sap. Maybe they're
not mine. I don't know. I've always
supposed they were, and they shan't
be cut down without a fight to save
them."
Out from the house down to the gate
where the men were talking came a
girl, dressed all in pink, a soft, fluffy
pink which reminded one of a cloud
at suurise, while her hair lay piled
above her head in a great mass of
golden light She gave the young man
a simple nod of greeting while passing
a hand through her father's arm. Her
presence seemed to bring a constraint
upon the recipient of the nod, for he
spoke with a diffidence not noticeable
before.
"We supposed when we bought our
place that the trees belonged to us,
and when you said they were your
property father had the land surveyed.
The decision was that the trees were
on our land or. of course, father would
never have touched them. They are
grown so large that the field is practi
cally useless because of their shade.
Nothing will ripen there."
"I've had surveys made myself."
came Beame's ready response. "It has
been done three times to ray certain
knowledge and each time in my favor.
Besides. I offered to buy the field of
your father, aot because I cared for
the land, but to preserve the trees."
"He doesn't want to sell"?the eyes
of the young man were on the girl In
pink?"and I presume the only way
out is to let the courts decide. Father
says just what you do?that the
quarrel need not in any way interfere
with us young folks. I'm sorry that
it can't be settled in some other way.
but it won't make any difference with
the friendship of our families."
I "Do you think those trees are on
your father's land, Ben Holcolm?" de
manded (tie girl suddenly.
"I should not have cut one of them
down if I did not, Vinnie." he replied
in surprise.
"It's just like killing an old friend."
Her face was eold. but tears were in
the voiee which held so much of pro
test. "I used to build my playhouse
under that one. and I've spent many
an hour in the crotch where the tree
branched. It was tbere I used to study
my lessons, and uow you've cut it
down."
"We did not know how you felt
about them. We suppos<d that they
I were ours, and if they are father in
tends to have the ax at them all. Now
that your father has arrested mine for
trespass and destroying property the
only thing left is to fight :t out. But.
Vinnie. it won't make any difference
with us. will it?"
She turned resolutely from him. "Tt

wvrld. Those trees are ours. They
shall not be cut down. Until you are
willing to Ray that they are ours and
not yours I will never speak to you
i again?that Is. in the way you have
asked me to."
j "See here, little girl." Interposed her
father, turning her face upward with
his hand; "I have told you that this Is
my quarrel. I don't want you young
folks to mix in. Mr. Holcolm and I
can settle it without help."
"That doesn't mnke any difference,"
[ Bhe persisted. "I'll never marry Ben
or meet him except as a stranger until
be says that those trees are on our
land. He's got to say so before the
lawsuit comes off. or I never will."
She did not wait for an answer, but
with head high In air and a poor at
tempt at a dignity which bad no exist
ence she turned and left them. They
watched until the shrubbery hid her
from sight and then Reame turned to
Ben, with a smile.
"I didn't think she'd take It quite so
much to heart." be said, "but she's
pretty hard hit Those trees have
been her playmates for a good many
years now."
"If we had only known." said Ben.
"perhaps It might have been avoided,
but father Is set In his way and thinks
he has a right to do as he pleases with
his own. It's making It pretty bard
for me. though. I didn't think Vlnnie
would turn me down as she has."
"And she'll persist You're between
two fires now." Reame paused, glanc
ed around and continued:
"The air is hotter than boiling oil.
and unless I'm mistaken we'll get a
regular northwester before dark.
There's some tools down at the ex
press office I. must get up before it
reaches here, so I'll go along to your
, place with you, Ben."
They walked slowly on In the after
noon sunshine. The nlr was hot and
the sun beat down with a fervor
which was almost overpowering. Away
to the west a cloud was hanging, low,
black and ominous. Not a breath of
wind was stirring, and the leaves of
the maples hung wilted from their
stems. The birds barely skimmed the
earth In their flight, and the crows
were keeping up an incessant cawing,
while a peacock on the rail fence
which separated the Holcolm garden
from the barnyard was filling the air
with its discordant cry.
"We are to have a storm, and that
before Reame gets home again," mut
tered Ben after his companion had
left him. "No matter. It can't be any
worse than the one we stirred up
when we chopped that maple down.
Who'd have thought it would have
brought on all this trouble? Who do
those trees belong to. anyway? Reame
is honest as sunshine and wouldn't
put up such a fight if he didn't think
he was standing on sure ground."
He stopped at the fence and looked
at the sky. The cloud in the west
was no nearer, the air was stifling,
while a muffled grumbling kept sound
ing away off where the cloud bung.
"I'll get the cattle under cover." he
said to himself. "When that cloud
gets to moving there'll be something
doing, or I'm no judge."
A half hour later the cows were
housed, the chores well under way.

the barn not a spear was left, the car
riage bouse was piled, a chaotic heap,
against the barn, other outbuildings
had disappeared, half the trees in the
orchard were uprooted, the smoke
house of the Holcolms was reposing
very nicely against the Reame kitchen
door, and for yards around nothing
could be seen but devastation.
While be stood there a thought came
which made his cheek grow white.
When bringing up the cows he had
noticed away over In the Reame pas
ture a pink robed figure. Had Vlnnie
reached home before the storm struck?
Where was she now? Regardless of
the rain, which still fell as though the
heavenly faucet had been turned on
full force, he started on a run up the
road. Into the Reame house he dashed.
No one was there but Mrs Reame. and

she was walking the floor, white with

had not been seen since leaving him
and her father at the gate. On to

She must have taken refuge some
where. What if? He could not get be

Soon It ceased raining, and on he
kept, stumbling over uprooted trees,
fallen branches, jumping over pools of
water, calling her name over and over
again; back through the woods, this
time In another direction.
"Vinnie! Vinnie!" Suddenly In an
swer to his call he heard a response,
faint and far off. He called again and
looked around. The field was level.
Nothing was In sight But the call

"What are you up that tree for?" he

"What a terrible storm It was!" she
answered. "1 was walking in our

and I was caught up and carried

He folded his arms, looking up at

"It looks as though you were quite
comfortable there," he said. "Of
course you're pretty wet, but it's
warm, and wetting won't hurt this
weather. Let's talk things over.
What'll you give me for release?"
"Don't bother, Ben. Help me down.

It's getting dark, and mother will be

"It isn't as dark as it was a little

from the village he can come after you
unless you're willing to make terms.
Whaf 11 you give me to help you?"
She was near crying, but was too
plucky to show It It wasn't like him
to treat her in this way. Wasn't it
enough that he had chopped down her
trees, and now?
"What do you want?" she demand
ed. "It's mean of you to treat me so.
If it's money you want"?
"I want you to take back what you
said at the gate. Will yjju marry me
if I help you now?"
Her eyes Sashed. "Nc, I will not.
I'll keep my word If I stay here for
ever, and I'll never marry you until
you own that those hickory and maple
trees are on my father's land."
For answer he came under the tree
with arms outstretched. "Drop," he
said. "I'll catch you so you can't get
hurt. Just take bold with your hand
and then drop down."
"I've done that many a time," she
replied, and in a moment more she
was on the ground.
"Vinnie," he said, taking her arm
and tucking it through bis, "I've been

Then they went home together, drip

as they nearcd the Reame farmhouse
Ben stepped and pointed where the
rows of hickory and maple trees had
been standing. From those his linger
moved to a great heap of twisted
branches and uprooted tree trunks ly

"Don't you think. Vinnie." he asked,
"that even my father will be willing,
under the circumstances, to confess

PRINTERS IN CONVENTION.
Fifty-Fifth Session of the Inter
national Typographical Union.
At St. Joseph, Mo., the fifty-fifth
convention of tbe International Typ
ographical Union convened Mondn;.
in the Coliseum, St. Joseph's big
convention hall. Addresses of wel
come were made by Mayor Clayton,
President Burham, of the local typ
ographical union, and others, and a
response by President Lynch of the
International Typographical Union,
after which the convention began
consideration of a large volume of
business, ultimately adjourning un
til Tuesday morning to hear the re
port of the credentials committee on
contest seats.
The reports of President Lynch
and Secretary-Treasurer Hays show
great progress made by the union,
during the last year.
The International Typographical
Union Is fifty-seven years old, and
with the present gathering has held
fifty-five conventions during its life
time. In 1896 and 1908 biennial
conventions were held. The Inter
national Typographical Union claims
to be the oldest national or inter
national organization of skilled la
bor in the world. Its sessions at
St. Joseph this week are attended
by three hundred delegates and eight
hundred visitors.
Matters of Importance that are to
come before the convention are pro
positions for the establishment of an
Insurance feature, and certain
changes proposed In the pension
policy that was made effective by the
union one year ago. The relations
between the union and the American
Newspaper Publishers' Association
will also be up for consideration.
The International Typographical
Union has many features that are
unique with labor organizations, and
which stamp this union as one of
the most progressive in the labor
field. The pension policy, for in
stance, is distinctive with the Inter
national Typographical Union. Un
der the pension law, members who
have reached the age of 60 years
and are unable to secure sustaining
employment at the trade are paid
$4 per week. The payment of pen
sions ha9 heretofore been consider
ed the function of the government,
but in this instance the union evi
dently believes that Its veterans
should be taken care of independent
of State or nation. The payment of
pensions began with the first of last
August, and up to May 31, when the
union's fiscal year closed $67,580
had been paid pensioners, while the
administration of the fund had cost
only $2,000.
The union also conducts a Home
at Colorado Springs, and contributed
during its fiscal year to this institu
tion $80,518.31. The actual expense
of conducting the Union Printers'
Home was $72,598.94, and there was
a balance in the Home fund of $32,
337.63. The receipts and expendi
tures of the Home from its Incep
tion to May 31, 1909, were $867,
801.29 and $835,463.66. The Home
property at Colorado Springs is val
ued at $1,000,000.
The union pays a burial benefit of
$75.00. . ?
During the fiscal year there were
509 deaths and the benefits paid
amounted to $38,175.00.
For advertising its union label the
union paid out $7,671.48.
The -expenditures of the Interna
tional Typographical Union during
its fiscal year were $161,544.45.
From the year 1891 to 1909 the
union received $6,188,045.75, aud
expended $5,950,898.90, this includ
ing the Union Printers' Home.
The union has a membership of
47,174.
The union also conducts a techni
cal school at Chicago for the benefit
of its members and apprentices who
desire.to perfect themselves in their
trade.
The sessions of the convention will
continue a week.
