If you suffer from such conditions don't let them become
chronic, don't run the risk of systemic catarrh.
Clear it Up With PERUNA
When your system is cleared of all its poisons, the membranes soothed
and healed, the cold gone and your digestion restored, you will enjoy life, feel
equal tc 11 its tasks, and be at peace with the world. Let Peruna do for you
what it did for this sufferer:
Mrs. L. A. Patterson, 238 Utah Avenue, Memphis, Tenn. says :
"I have been a friend of Peruna for many years. I have used it off and on for catarrhal
complaints and found it a very excellent remedy. I have a small family of children. Times
are hard with us. but I can scarcely afford to do without Peruna, especially during the
season of the year when coughs and colds are prevalent. We always recCommend Peruna
to our neighbors, for th benefit it has been to us. "
You needn't sufiei longer with such a remedy at hand.

The Telephone
Operator
Says:
In making a telephone call always
call by number and not byname. Qp
erators deal only in numbers, and a call
by name results in delayed service.
Always consult the telephone direc
tory before making a call. When you
call from memory you are likely to
transpose numbers and call the wrong
party.
If, after you have looked in the direc
tory, you cannot find the
party wanted call "Infor
mation." Follow these suggestions
and notice what good serv
ice you get.

The hardiest man In the house of
bishops ol I he Episcopal convention,
recently held ut St. Louis, was the
lili-'lit Kcv I'eter T. Howe, bishop of
AlasU. h.vs the St. Louis Tost Dis
patch. He Is tiftyuine yours old and
for twenty-one years has braved the
elements of arctic winters In covering
the (51)0,000 Miiunre miles of his diocese,
the whole of Alaska, once every three
yearn on siiowshocs anil by canoe, mlu
Istcrlng to whites, Indians and Eski
mos. He Is known front Sitka to the
shores of the Arctic ocean as the niln
Isterlng brother of the lonely pros
pector. To be bishop of Alaska. Itishnp Uowe
says, one must have cast Iron digestive
organs. The bishop of Alaska frequent
ly finds It necessary to sit down in a
blizzard to a morsel of raw whale for
luncheon or if hard pressed raw dog in
order to sustain life. He must make
forced marches over icy wastes with
the mercury f0 to SO degrees below zero
A Man of Iron N'jrve.
Bishop Uowe related that a year age
last winter he stumbled upon members
of Stefansson's arctic expedition near
Point Barrow, Alaska, groping their
way back to civilization. The men had
been separated from the main expedi
tion and were in a pitiable plight.
Bishop Howe is stocky and powerful
ly built arid has scant iron gray hair
and steel blue eyes.
Bishop Howe was a clergyman at
Sault Ste. Marie. Mich., when he was
consecrated bishop- of Alaska in 1805.
lie reached Aluka two years before
the rush of prospectors to the Klon
dike and was one of the tirst Ameri
cans to go over C'hilkoot pass, where
a snowslidp killed seventy-eight men.
He was -one of the rescuing party that
helped dig the bodies out of the snow.
In all his years in Alaska he never
liad the -gold fever."
"The results of that memorable
craze made- other work for me,'" he
said, "and I never had time to get the
"ever. I was at iSkagway at the time.
There was an epidemic of meningitis,
and many who did not die of that. dis
ease succumbed to shooting affrays.
During a period of two months I con
ducted almost daily the funeral of
some murdered prospector or gambler."
At that time a gambler called
"Soapy4' Smith headed a gang that in
fested the Klondike and mulcted prospectors.-'.-
The activities of the band
grew to be such a menace that Bishop
Rowe and others organized a vigilance
committee, which was vent after the
Tang. Smith was .kille 1 and others
were driven out of t'-e country.
Goes Thousands of Mile;; cn C.-ewshoes
Bishop Howe s:tid Ins winter trips
take hiin I'.C'iHt miles into the interior.
On snowshoes. in rtunptuiy . v. itb an
Indian guide, he follows a dog sic V
across the country where there are no
trails, guided only by a compass
through the river valleys and over
snow clad mountains" to the remote
camps of Indians and lonely prospec
tors. ;
ITis narrowest escape occurred win
ter'.-before, last, when he Was caught
in a blizzard on the banks of the Yu
kon river, with the temperature at GO
Jegrecs below zero.
"We succeeded in making the shelter
if a mountain side." the bishop said,
"else I would not be here to tell of It,
I unleashed the dogs and they bur
rowed into the snov; An Eskimo dog
knows Instinctively What to do 'wider
uch circumstances, and we did like
wise. For three days we lay buried in
the snow while the blast raged.
"After the fury of the storm had
abated 'we -scrambled out an uncov
ered the dogs. They had slept through
It all. A short distance off we found a
'white man bundled In furs, but frozen
to death. There, on the snowbound
wastes, I rend his funeral service and
burled him in a grave of snow, the
rainbow's end of many another gold
seeker." rushing on. they ended that j
trip at Point .Barrow, where they met
tefailsson's men.
Many Go Insane.
One One spring day on another trip
Bishop Howe came upon what appear
ed to be a wild man 'standing on the
i'auks of a creek.
"We were a hundred miles from any
traii," he said, "and I wondered what
he could be about. Drawing near, I
found him to be only another prospec
tor. He apologized for having no more
than flour and a bit of tea to offer,
upon which he had existed through the
previous winter, but declared that fool
was not the Orst essential with gold i a
light.
"At least twenty-five such fellows
.vander out of the interior every year
mder the delusion that they are rich.
I have heard them come in, poor men
,al wrecks, shouting that they were
richer than Guggenheim.'
Bishop Rowe said three of his women
mission workers lost their minds in the
Interior camps during the last year.
Re attributes such mental lapses to
loneliness.
A well known London clergyman said
the other day that he had discovered
among his parishioners an unshakable
belief In a rumor that Lord Kitchener
was still alive and that the rVport of
his tragic end was a govern men t ruse
to hoodwink the enemey.
The story seems to have originated
In the minds of some Indian troops.

General Gordon Too.
It would seem that seldom does a
great man die prematurely without the
story that he Is still alive securing a
firm hold upon the poilar mind, says
Answers.
All over Great Britain are to be
found teople who refuse to accept the
statement that another gallant hero.

Another line fighter, Sir Henry Have-lock-Allan,

men decline to believe that he died in

suits his j t'.rpuse, they assert with em
phasis, au.l it is a wise policy to agree,
with inward reservations, if any.
Charles Stewart Parnell, "the un

Parnell Still Active?
The writer remembers chatting with
a London bus conductor, who seriously!
informed him that the "Mad Mullah
who was contesting ' British rule in
Egypt ut about that time, was 'none
other than Parnell.

"Fighting Mac."
General Hector Maedonuld. who died
in peculiarly unhappy circumstances in
Paris soon after the South African
war, still lives, in every sense of the
word, to his countless friends and ad
mircrs In Scotland and about the bor
der.
Not only is he reported to be pur
suing his old profession, but the ex

''Fighting Mac's" genius, and there
are men north of the Tweed who are
prepared to swear that they havo seen

Sometimes the notorious malefactor
makes a similar appeal to the popular

Tonnage Steadily Increasing.
Under the bold title "Build the Lim
it" his project is outiinej in Sea Power
of recent date. His article says In
part: "The history of modern battle
ship construction shows that its dis
placement has steadily increased. Our
tirst battleship, represented by the Ore
gon, displaced l(.;;oo tons; the next,
the Kentucky class, lL.'OO; the Maine
class, 12,500; the. Georgia class. 11,!mhi:
the Connecticut class, lG.HiO, etc., iu
creasing at an average rate of about
l.ooo tons u year.
"We have, since the dreadnaught.
and like ali other nations, steadily in
creased the displacement and in the
last few 'years .have actually had the
courage to go beyond Great Britain in
displacement, so that 'we : have ' 'the
Pennsylv"4ia class, actually larger In
1.000 Puis than the latest, ship ol th
British, and it is reported in the new
papers that the general board has even
recommended shins as lare as 3d.oo;i
tons.
"Why not take a lesson from' histor.
and frankly decide what we want, what
chara. -(eristics a battleship, should
have, wlmt spee.l. endurance, battery
armor, etc., it should have, and 'then
build It regardless of displacement'?
Canal Limits Size.
'The limit for us In the size of bat
tleships is the Panama canal locks. It
is also the limit for any power that
might go to war against us. for none
would sacrifice the advantage of being
able to send its fleet through the canal.
The limit, therefore, of .displacement
for our battleships iu within l.ooO feei

mensions of the Panama canal lucks.

vantage of the large ship as compared
with the smaller is practical position
as a gun platform, especially ut htyh
speed and iu u rough sea. At eighteen
knots in a moderate sea the 10,000 ton
ship can hardly fire her turret guns,
and she rolls and pitches to such an
extent that her chances of hitting are
small. The 27,000 ton ship Is under
the same conditions and even at high
er speed comparatively steady, and
her guns can be fired more effectively.
But. the 00,000 ton ship will hardly
know she Is at sea, and while her 27,

An Interesting scheme for a subma
rine plle line to convey oil Is proposed
by an Irish Inventor. The flexiblejde
he has designed for the purpose is con
structed of mild steel ribbon on the
helical tube principle, the helicals being
packed with usU-stos twine. The steel
ribbon is coated with a protective me
tallic alloy and is of such a Ihicknes.

ble of withstanding an internal pres

pressure of lo, ,(!() pounds er square.
Inch. Finally a eotto'i cusing Is woven
over the outside of the pipe and cou'.ed
with preservative compound.
To give longitudinal strength a
standard stee! cable or hawser is put
inside the pipe. The inventor consid
ers that a pipe line between K.ightnd
and America could be laid in three or
four months. The course would be di
vided into twenty sections, ami us many
laying, ships would be employed, so
that each would have about l.'iO miles
to lay. The ships would be provided
with sntlicient steel ribbon on reels,
with cotton, cable and other require
ments, to complete' their allotted dis
tance, and each '.would carry a tube
forming and sleeve weaving apparatus.
The former consists of a cross frame
carrying reels of ribbon and aslesto9
and the forming and bending rollers,
the whole being rotated round a steel
mandrel. As the frame rotates the
rollers press (he steel ribbon to the re
quired shape, luclosiug the asbestos and
interlocking the edges of the ribbon,
and, finally, the cotton casing is woven
on, the preservative compound being
applied at the same time. The opera
tions take place round the steel cable,
by means ot which the pipe would be
fed into the water. The -apparatus is
designed to produce at least sixteen
feet of pipe a minute. When beginning
work each ship would attach its piie
cable tn :n anchored buoy.
