When you find yourself in the wrong and the right is pointed out
to you to be honest with yourself, what should you do? SW1TGH1
If you are using lard for frying and shortening, and we prove to
you that Cottolene is purer, more healthful, more economical, what
should you do ? SWITCH 1

Now, lard, as you know, is made from hog fat. It may or may
not be pure, Cottolene is always pure, because it contains nothing but
refined vegetable oil and choice beef suet. It is always uniform, and
we guarantee the quality. Besides, it is never sold in bulk like lard,
but comes in sealed tin pails, and is not open to contamination. So
much for purity and healthfulness.
As to economy—Cottolene is richer than lard. It requires, therefore,
but two-thirds the quantity to secure better results. This means economy.
Why not do justice to your stomach and give it a digestible product
rather than an indigestible one? Your grocer will start you right with
a pail of Cottolene.

Money For the Canal.
Already Wall street has begun to
discuss v.'ith a great deal of Interest
the manner In which the “Panama
payment” will be made and bow it will
affect Hie money market. This is quite
natural, as Wall street is regarded as
the money center of the country.
As the canal situation now stands
the United States government is bound
to pay upon the ratification of the
treaty $40,000,000 to the French share
holders in the Panama enterprise and
$10,000,000 more to the isthmian state
selling the canal. On the face of things
this would appear to mean the “laying
down” on a given date of $30,000,000 at
Paris and Colon. If shipment of such
a sum were to be made in actual cash
the question would arise whether it
would be obtained from the treasury j
vaults or from the money market. It j
might be drawn from either, for, in ad- ;
dition to the $144,000,000 actual cash in j
the treasurer’s own hands, the govern- ;
ment has $130,000,000 on deposit In .
banks and subject to demand.
If only idle cash in the treasury
vaults is used for this purpose, there
would apparently be no disturbance in
the money market, while, on the other
hand, if the banks were required to
send $30,000,000 the money market
woual naturally be much upset for a
time. Uncle Sam has, however, suffi
cient funds accumulated to meet this
obligation without embarrassment

“Peruna has my hearty endorsement.
There is no medicine I know of which
;an compare with it. I contracted a
levere cold several years ago, which
from neglect developed into urinary
trouble, and threatened Bright’s disease.
As one of my friends was cured of
Bright’s disease through tho use of Pe
runa I thought I would try It also, and
used it faithfully for three and ono-half
months, when my health was perfect
once more. I have never had any trouble
since, and therefore think it Is but just
to give It unlimited praise.”—O. Fred
Lindstrom.
Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous
lining of the kidneys, also called
“Bright’s disease,” maybe either acute
or chronic. The acute form produces
symptoms of such prominence that the
serious nature of the disease is at ones
suspected, but the chronic variety may
come on so gradually and insidiously
that its presence is not suspected until
after it has fastened itself thoroughly
upon its victim.
At the appearance of the first symp*
tom Peruna should be taken. This rem
edy strikes at once at the very root of
the disease. *
