Pe-ru-na Prolonged Her Life. ; Mrs. 0. D. Robinson7« I have taken Penina and it did me more good than all my two years' ? treatment by special physicians. I can really say that I feel like another person. No more swollen feet and limbs. No more bloating of the abdomen- ( No more shortness of breath. No more stiff and sore joints. You have no idea what your treatment has done for me. It certainly has prolonged my life and made a new woman of me. “0, such a blessing I have received through your kindness, doctor, and the assistance of the medicine which you have so kindly prescribed. I am able to ] work since I began your treatment, but before I was not able to help myself, much less work for anyone else. All praise is due to Dr. Hartman and his ' treatment.”

After the affray was over, Burkey was taken in charge by friends and placed in an old bam nearby, where he slept off the effects of his jag. Later he appeared in the mayor's court and filed an affidavit against Christian, charg; ing assault and battery. ■ The Schafer Hardware company has just received a full car load of granite ware, including ivs cars of the best Soods in this line of ware.

Internal Catarrh RA^ 8 n? e °, rge C - Worß teU. 11 River Road, (larksburg, W. Va„ writes: 1 trust that no one will think from his that I want my name in public tor any cause only to let sufferers know where they may find relief from many ailments. “I can truly say I have been much benefited by the use of Peruna. I feel better than I have for two years. It is the best medicine that I know for internal catarrh. “I have taken medicine from the doctors and found no relief; but when I began taking Peruna I could see that before I had finished taking the first bottle it was doing me good.” Pe-ru-na Tablets. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants have incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have just been crooned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets. Each tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Peruna.

E. church this ? morning to worship together. It will j be a union Thanksgiving service and . inasmuch as we all have many things 1 to be thankful for, the spacious house I of worship should be taxed to its capacity. To be thankful is a quality , so essential to a free and God fearing i people. It is one of the traits pef'culiar to the American people which . I probably stands out as prominently as II any other distinction we possess. . What a glorious meeting it would be if every Decatur family -is represented at tomorrow’s meeting. Thanks- . giving, unlike other holidays, is intended to be a purely’religious holiday and has been set apart for that purpose. The attendant physical festivities of course, are blessed too, such as the Irme coming of loved ones and seasons of good cheer, the carving of the turkey and the disposition of same, but let us a 8 American citizens, as a (Christian people, bow cur heads in j 1 thanksgiving to the Almighty, before ! the shades of night fall upon us tomor- ' row, the most sacred of all holidays. Rev. Richard Spetnagle will have many good things to say at the ser-, vices and excellent music will be . served. . Tomorrow evening the Presbyterian church will be the scene of the initial session of the Christian Endeavlcr i societies of the district in annual convention. We therefore expect out of town delegations to arrive during the afternoon. The visitors will be |well taken care of during the two days stay in our midst.

While under your treatment I gained three pounds a month. “I took several more bottles of Peruna and now lam well. lam able to do all my housework—cooking, washing,ironing, baking and mending. ‘‘Everybody compliments me on looking so much better than I used to, and now I have a girl baby six months old, as fat as she can be. “She is what I call a Peruna baby,for I know if it had not been for Peruna she would not be here.’ 1 • For Suffering Women.

It will look all right when you try it on and take it away—but after you’ve worn it a while you will find out it fades, loses shape and wears badly. It will then be too late — you’ll find you’ve made a mistake.

STATEMENT OF TAYLOR ESTATE Ossian Man Who Left His Home Has Some Property. George W. Blauser has filed in circuit court a detailed statement of the condition of the estate of Cornelius Taylor, the Ossian man who disappeared more than a year ago and was looted only recently in Ohio. Mr. Blauser shows tha the has made a sale of personal preperty at much above the appraised value of $375. When sold he secured for the same $523.96, and added to this he received from a payment of fire insurance $13,50, and seme other small amounts, which bring the total that came into his hands from sale of personal property up to $614.82. Out of this amount ho has paid cut in the cancellation of debts, to meet family expenses, etc, the sum of $583.46, leaving a net balance of $31.36. Added to this he says that the widow’s share of corn unsold will amount probably to S7O. He shows that notes to the amount of $243 are overdue and unpaid, and that there is a mortgage of S7OO held by Warren McKee against the farm cf fifty acres which is worth probably $3,000. He asked and was granted permission to borrow S2OO for the purpose of cancelling all cf the small notes and adding the S2OO to the McKee mortgage, which is agreeable to McKee. This will bring the total of McKee’s mortgage up to SBOO, but cancels all other indebtedness. The Taylor estate would be worth probably $2,000 if all indebtedness were cancelled. —Bluffton News. o SI,OOO FROM SELF DENIAL

A SURPRISED MINISTER. “For many years I have been a sufferer from bronchial catarrn. and had despaired of anything like a cure. Judge cf my pleasant surprise when I first used Hyomei which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritable godsend.”—Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio. Thousands of catarrh sufferers have given up in despair. They have tried stiompch dosing, (muff, sprays land douches without success, and now believe catarrh to be incurable. But Holthouse Drug Co., the druggists, held out hope to all distressed. They sell a remedy called Hyomei whioh is guaranteed for catarrh, colds, bronchitis, asthma and croup. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) Is medicated air, full of the Wealthy virtues of the mountain pines. You breathe in the delightful antiseptic air, and as it passes over the inflamed and germ ridden membrane, it allays the inflammation, kills the germs and drives out the disease. A complete Hyomei outfit, including | a hard rubber inhaler, costs but SI.OO, and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if afterward needed, costs but 50 cents. See Holthcuse Drug Co. about it today.
