Cooks
No matter how faithful and hon
est r/our cook may be, she is behind
the times if she uses lard or cooking butter for frying and shortening.
The great medical and cooking authorities of the country say so; they
endorse Cottolene as the most palatable, healthful and economical cook
ing fat on the market The following names of Cottolene endorsers
are household words:
Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer, Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, Marion Harland,
Mrs. Eliza R. Parker, Lida Ames Willis, Mrs. Janet M. Hill, Dr. Mary E.
Green, Miss Margaret Wister, Mrs. Elizabeth 0. Hiller, Mrs. Helen Arm
strong, Christine Terhune Herrick, Mrs. F. A. Benson, R. Ogden Doremis,
M. D., LL. D., J. Hobart Egbert, A. M., M. D., Ph. D., and hundreds of
others, prominent in household economy and the medical profession.
USE LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking
butter, one-third less is required.

IF 11 ILLS
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE~N0 WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.
There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least onc-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. It is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion
It pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
Dr. Hartman by grateful men am. wo
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.
Mrs. M. K. Bousch, Richmond, Va.,
writes: “I had catarrh all through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. I was advisad to try Peruna and
I have taken five bottles of it and am
well and better now than I h ,ve been
for years. I can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part of the oody to
take Peruna. My little gi’ i who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before ? began to
take Peruna I was sick all th • time, but
now I am entirely cured, am all praise
is due Peruna.”—Mrs. M. K.. tousch.
Catarrh of the Nose.
Mr. Herman Ehlke,952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
“ I am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
a severe one.”—Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh of the Throat.
B. II. Runyan, Salesville, O., writes:
“ I suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. I was induced to try
Peruna. I have used five bottles and am
perfectly well.”—B. II. Runyan.
Catarrh of The Ear.
Mr. Archie Godin, 188 Beech street,
Fitchburg,Mass., writes:
Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middleear. I feel better than I have
lor several years.”—Archie Godin.

Catarrh of The I.uii(-s.
Mrs. Emilie Kirckhoff, Ada, Minn.,
writes:
“Through a violent cold contracted
last winter, I became afflicted with ca
tarrh of the nose, which in a short time
affected my lungs. I took Peruna which
cured me thoroughly. I now feel better
than 1 have for forty years.”—Mrs.
Emilie Kirckhoff.
Catarrh of the Bladder.
Mr. John Smith, 311 S. Third street.
Atchison, Kan., writes:
“ I was troubled with catarrh of the
urethra and bladder for two years. At
the time I wrote to you I was under the
care of my home doctor, and had been
for four months.
“ I followed your directions but two
months, and can say Peruna cored me
of that trouble.”—John Smith.
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr. D. R. Ramsey writes in a recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark., the fol
lowing:
“ My son, Leon Ramsey, four years of
age, suffered with catarrh of the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever.”—D. R. Ramsey.
Catarrh of The Kidneys.
P' ter J. \ ncr,Hawley.Pa.,writes:
‘‘I think that I am perfectly cared of
catarrh of the kidneys by Peruna, as
I have no trouble of any kind.”—
P. J. Unger.
Catarrh of Tho Stomach.
A. AV. Graves, of Hammond, Ind.,
writing to Dr. Hartman, says:
“l am well of catarrh of the stomach
after suffering two years. I have taken
live bottles of Peruna and one of Mana-
lin and I feel like a new man now.'’—
A. W, Graves.
Pelvic Catarrh.
Miss Katie Lochman, Lafayette, Ind.,
writes:
“ I had pelvic catarrh, pain in tho al>
domen, back, had stomach trouble and
headache caused by catarrh. I followed
your directions: took Peruna and Mana-
lin according to directions, and how
happy I feel that I am relieved of
such a distressing ailment.”—Miss Katie
Lochman.
Catarrh of The Rowels,
Mr. Henry Entzion, South Bend, Ind.,
writes:
“ Tho doctor said I had catarrh of tho
bowels and I took his medicine, but
with no relief. I was getting worse all
the time.
“ Before I had taken a half bottle of
Peruna I felt like a new man.”—Henry
Entzion.
I f you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
] full statement of your case and he will
■ be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
I vice gratis.

A Family Keuulon ami Sketch of His Life
and Character.
I
In the is-me of, The Ledger of the 1st
Inst., we gftve an account of the death
and burial of Mr. Thos. McGill, of •
King’s Creek. Below we republirh
an account from The Ledger of July
the 4rh, 1902, of a reunion of bis
family which was held on the 24th of
June, 1902, which contains 4 short
-ketch of the life of t h ia worthy old
gentleman;
‘•On the 24Gi of June there was »
reunion of the family of Mr. Thomas
McGill at Ills home near King’s
Creek in this county. At this reunion
all his living children, five (5) in
number, eignteen (18) grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren were
present to comfort and do honor to
their venerable and worthy sire, and
with them were several friends andRsv
J. L Oatr,, Mr. McGill’s pastor, who
made a suitable address for the occa
sion. Among the grandchildren was
Rev. J. Meek White, of Lancaster
county,
* To add to the pleasures of the oc
casion these dutiful descendants of
this worthy old gentleman iiad pre
pared an abundance of tbe good
things of their bountiful homes,
spread them out in picnic style and
enjoyed them on the spacious old
piazzas where they had played their
children games in the days of their
youth. A'i present entered the fes
tivities of the occasion with zeal, and
none more so than the venerable old
father in whose honor his children
had met.
“Mr. McGill’s long and upright life
is worthy a notice in this connection.
“Mr. McGill is a son of Gapt. Wil
liam and Mrs. Martha McGill, nee
Henry. He was born on Crowder’s
creek in York county on June tbe
24tb, 1813, and, as will be seen, is
eigbty-nine (89) years old. He moved
with his father’s family in 18S2 to bis
present home on King’s creek a short
distance south of King’s Creek post
office, where be has spent his long
life.
“On the 24th day of January, 1837,
be married Louisa N. Galloway, of
Clark’s Fork She was tbe second
daughter of Alexander and Mary Gal
loway. The ceremony was perform
ed by bis wife’s grandfather, William
McElwee, Esq. Ten children were
born to them, five of them are dead,
one of whom ditd in 1804 while gal-
lanty serving bis country in tbe Con
federate army.
"Mr. McGill joined Bethany A. R
P. church in 1838. In 1843 Rev. R
C. Grice organized Smyrna A. R. P.
church. Mr. McGill then moved bis
membership to Smyrna and was or
dained an elder. He has been a con
sistent member ever since and during
these many years has served his
church in many capacities and has
lived up to his high standard of a
Christian gentleman, dignified man
hood and good citizenship. He has
been useful to his church, his neigh
borhood and his State, having once
served her ten years as magistrate.
"All join in wishing Mr. McGill
many more years on earth where he
is still a pleasure and comfort to his
dutiful descendants ”
DURAND AS A HUNTER.
Brltiah AmbnaNatlor’a Exploit In nn
Indian JnuKle.
It is said in Loudon that Sir Morti
mer Durand, the negotiator of the
“Durand agreement” with the astute
Abdur Rahman, khan of Kabul, for
eix years British minister at tbe court
of the shah, for more than three years
ambassador at Madrid and now the
new British ambassador to Washing
ton, is prouder of his success as a
sportsman than as a diplomat, says
the New York American.
It is intimated that he took with
him to Washington many of his Indian
shooting trophies. Chief among these
are an enormous skin and bead of a
Bengal tiger, the story of whose death
he often tells. As the Jungle was too
thick for elephants to be used. Sir Mor
timer was armed with both an Empress
rifle and an eight bore. The latter
weapon he had never used, and when
the tiger came on he expected to have
dropped him dead by the steady aim he
took with it.
But the brute rushed on for thirty
yards at full gallop, and Sir Mortimer
thought he had missed him. From his
coign of vantage in the fork of a tree
he fired with the Empress rifle into the
brute’s bask, and this time be fell.
When the tiger was skinned, it was
found that the eight bore bullet had
raked It from the chest to the end of
its body. It was evidently well en
dowed with the feline capacity for sur
viving.
Wine usually improves with age or
