Unfortunately one of the moat com
fnon of all diseases. How It reddena

gfcales, over and over again!
- Halt rheum comes from humors In
the blood. This ia why local appli

Ask your druggist for Hood's Sar
aaparllla. It goes to the source of the

IHTERSCHOUSTIC
SHERIFF WILLIAMS HAS
RETURNED ID IDE CITY
MEETYESTERDAY
Ashevlile High School Took
First Place With 41 Points
The Events.
Went to Washington Last
Week In Cole Kidnap
ing Case.
Sheriff C. F. Williams returned yes
terday from Olympla, Wash., where
he werjt to take the requisition papers
ftp- the return here of Mrs. lJettie
Jiutchison ami Hiss Carrie Tlnsley,
who were charged with Kidnaping
little six years old Kdna Cole, daugh
ter of E. C. Cole of West Ashevlile. At
the hearing held before Governor Er
nest Lister of Washington last Satur
day night at 8 o'clock, the governor
refused to honor the requisition papers
issued by Governor Locke Craig and
allowed the women to go free.
Sheriff Williams states that the
hearing before Governor Lister was
Very briet and only a few questions
were asked the women or himself.
The grounds on which the governor
of Washington refused to honor the
papers were that the father of the
child had not contributed to its sup
port since it was given into the custody
of the two women, whv are aunts of
tfie child; that the women have work
ed to support the child and he thought
they ought to he allowed to keep il.
Thomas Malvern Vance, son of the
late Zeb 13. Vance, who Is an attorney
at Olympia, appeared at the hearing
for Mr. Cole of this city and among
the attorneys who appeared for the
women was Maurice A. Ivanphornc of
Taconia, formerly of Newport, Tenn.
Mr. Vance has been in Washington for
about 2." years and is the senior mem
ber of the law firm of Vance & Parr.
So tar as can be learned the refusal
of Governor Lister to honor tho re
quisition papers ends the case, al
though, as stated last week, other
moves Might be made in the case bv
Mr. i u'.s by having a writ of habeas
corpus taken out for the child. This
would be done of course in Washing
ton and then It was stated that an
other effort would be made later on
get the governor of Washington to
hear the i..atter of requisition papers
agai n.

SMOTHERING SPELLS r
Sour Stomach, Heart Burn
In October,
1010. we received
a letter from
Mrs. Hall, from
which we make
the following ex
tracts:
"About twelve
years ago my
health began to
fall. I couldn't
eat anything
without suffering
for it I had I
heart burn, sour
heart, smother-.
ing spells, pains in my Bides and
back. In fact, I suffered all over,
and a cough almost like consump
tion. Doctors failed to relieve me;
In fact, they didn't seem to know
what ailed me. I continued to grow
worse until was able to sit up only
a part of the time. I had almost lost
all hopea of ever being any better.
"But one day some one threw soma
books in at my door. I read them
and found them to be Peruna books.
"They described my feeling so truly
I sent at once and got a bottle and
began taking it. You pronounced
my ailment systemic catarrh, and
gave me some advice.
"When I had taken two and one
half bottles I began to eat without
suffering. I continued to improve.
"When I had taken eight I was like
a new person. That was nine years
ago.
"I think Peruna the greatest fam
ily remedy there is, for so many ail
ments are due to catarrhal trouble. I
would advise any one afflicted with
catarrh to take Peruna and I am sure
it will leave."
In the Revised "Ills of Life" we
have many similar testimonials which
should interest sick people every
where. Sent free by the Peruna Co.,
Columbus, Ohio.
People who object to liquid medi
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
