CAUGHT BY THE GRIP.

Released by Pe-ru-na—Congressman Howard’s Recovery—Congressman Geo. H. White’s Case

La Grippe is epidemic catarrh. —It ■pares no class or nationality. The cultured and the Ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper. The masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all are Hable. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read “grip.” Without intending to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As If some hideous giant with awful Grip had clutched us in Its fatal clasp. Men, women, children, whole towns and cities are caught In the baneful grip of a terrible monster. Pe-rn-n* For Grip. Mrs. Dr. C. D. Powell, President of Epworth League, also President of Loyal Temperance Legion, writes from Chehalis, Wash.: ' “I have used several remedies In cases of severe colds and la grippe, but none I consider of more value than Penina.” —Mrs. Dr. C. D. Powell. After-Effects of La Grippe. Miss Emma Jourls, President Golden Rod Sewing Circle, writes from 40 Burling street, Chicago, 111., as follows: "This spring 1 suffered severely from the after-effects of la .grippe. As the doctors did not seem to help me 1 bought a bottle of Peruna.”—Miss Emma Jourls. Congressman Howard’s Letter. Fort Payne, Ala. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—"l have taken Peruna now for two weeks and find 1 am very much relieved. ‘ 1 feel that my cure will be permanent. 1 have-also taken it for la grippe and I take pleasure in recommending Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers.”— M. W. Howard, Member of Congress. La Grippe Leaves the System In a Deplorable Condition. D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barbers’ Union, writes from 15 Western avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.:

“Following a severe attack of la grippe I seemed to be affected badly all over. “One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try It, and I procured a bottle the same day. Now my head Is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me.”—L. D. Wallace. Grippe Causes Deafness. Mrs. M. A, Sharick, chaplain G. A. R. Woman’s Relief Corps, writes from Fremont, Wash.: “When la grippe was the prevailing illness in this Western country I was laid up the whole winter, 1 partially lost my hearing, and had a very bad case of catarrh of the head and throat. I read of Peruna, tried it and had my hearing restored and catarrh cured. I cannot speak too well of Peruna.”— Mrs. M. A. Sharick. La Grippe Cured in Its First Stage. Lieutenant Clarice Hunt, of the Salt Lake City Barracks of the Salvation Army, writes from Ogden, Utah: Two months ago I was suffering with so severe a cold that I could hardly speak. “Our captain advised me to try Peruna, and procured a bottle for me, and truly it worked wonders. Within two weeks I was entirely well.” —Clarice Hunt. Congressman White’s Letter. Tarboro, N. C. Gentlemen—“l am more than satisfied with Peruna and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy.”—Geo. H. White, Member of Congress. Remained in Feeble Health After Cured of La Grippe. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer Independent Order of Good Templars, of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. Peruna cured me.” —Mrs. T. W. Collins. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, 0., for a free book on catarrh.

Two Foods That Km Pigs.

The Indiana State Board of Agriculture, In a report, says: Wheat and Barley Beard. It not frequently happens that after hogs have been turned upon wheat and barley stubble that some will die. The symptoms which the pigs will present are quite variable. In some cases it will be an intensely sore mouth, in others it will be those of general bowel disturbance, and in a third it will be those of loud and difficult breathing. The writer has post-mortemed many such cases and found accumulations of beards in the mouth, stomach, or windpipe. A roll of beards may form and get down by the side or at the root of the tongue and penetrate the mucous membrance. The animal can not get rid of them; the parts become Intensely swollen and inflamed, interfering with eating, and starvaton will occur. Plugs of the beards may lodge at any point between the larynx and bronchi, producing loud, distressing breathing and coughing. The foreign body can not be removed and death takes place from suffocation. In the stomach the beards may puncture the walls. The Injury may be so slight as to cause only a mild inflammation and Interference with the appetite for a short time, until the beards become softened and pass on, or the inflammation may be so severe as to cause death. The trouble is one that is not amenable to treatment except in those cases in which the beard is in the mouth. Effects of Cockle Burrs. Numerous articles have appeared in the swine breeders’ journals and agricultural papers indicating that young cockleburrs were poisonous to hogs and calves. While the cockle-burr is young and only three.to four inches high it is very fleshy and tender, and relished by stock. The claims of poisoning of stock attracted sufficient attention that the Indiana Experiment station made a chemical examination and a feeding test to determine the poisonous properties, but in both the results were negative. The young plants, stripped of the burrs, were fed to calves, pigs, rabbits and guinea pigs. They were allowed all they would eat. In no case was any untoward effect noticed. We have been called upon to post-mor-ten some animals claimed to have died from such poisoning, and in all cases death was due to burrs. A few burrs would be swallowed with the young plants, and their horny prickles would irritate the stomach wall and cause inflammation, which Anally terminated in death. In three cases the burrs lodged in the throat and could not be expelled.

Looking After the Features. The agricultural department of the national government is looking after the question of pastures more closely than ever before. Some of the work it has been doing during the past few years is bound to be far reaching in its effects, not only on the ranges of the far west but also on the pasture lands of the more eastern sections oi the country. There is no subject, that, it seems to the writer, has been more neglected or that will pay better pay for thought, investigation and experiment. The pastures of the American farm are badly handled and almost always neglected. The formation of most of our pastures has been a hit-or-miss affair, governed largely by accident. Some of the best arable land on the farm is generally found in pasture land and that has never been disturbed since the forest was cleared away in the old days. We are fust now waking up to the fact that in the pastures are great possibilities. We have been satisfied to have a good many acres support a single cow; we are coming now to consider how the yield of pasture grass may be increased to enable a cow to be supported on as few acres as possible. As an index of the progress being made we recall a question that Was last week put to H. B. Gurler at the dairymen’s meeting at Aurora, Illinois: “How many cows do you support per acre?” The answer was that he had not yet reached the point where he could talk of it as being “so many cows per acre,” but that it was yet “so many acres to the cow,” but he was progressing in the direction of the inquiry. The care of pastures may well concern the department of agriculture. There is no doubt that the poor care given our pastures results in immense losses to American farmers yearly. There are hundreds of millions of acres of pasture land that are yielding results only from the upper few Inches of soil, with a foot of soil below whose richness is untapped. This is due to the fact that so little care is given the pastures that they are always kept short and the roots of the grasses are prevented from striking downward. The attention being given the varieties of grasses to be grown should inaugurate a new era. The one or two grasses that are now so popular must be supplanted by a great number of grasses maturing at different periods throughout the summer. There are some additional features that must be considered, such as method in grazing, rest and fertilization. If one of the children on the farm takes an interest in poultry raising let him or her have a chance to prove what an interested child can do. Do not withhold the earnings of the flock that may be set aside for the use of the child. “Oh, mamma!” exclaimed little Arthur, all out of breath, “I’ve just been playing with the Goodwin children, and they have the measles at their house. Now, can 1 eat all the cake I want to? ’Cause, you know, I’m going to be sick anyway.” Alm to have the butter entirely free of buttermilk.

A WEEK IN INDIANA

RECORD OF HAPPENINGS FOR SEVEN DAYS. A Sect M Whitestown Burns Ito Fine Clothes—lce Harvesting In Northwester* Part of the State—Cudahy Brother* Sell Their Telephone Line. Sect Burn* Ito Fine Clothe*, Whitestown is disturbed by the actions of a religious sect known as Holy Salvationists. The members assert that they represent the only true religion, and that they are the direct agents of God, who has commanded that they preach the gospel to every home. With Bible in hand they are constantly engaged in their religious work. They spread the gospel, as they term it, from house to house, in the field and along public highways, and no one is exempt from their ministrations. One minister declares that he has a revelation from God commanding that all useless articles of finery or attractive clothing, jewelry and furniture should be burned, and many of the band have accepted the command and have burned many articles of clothing and furniture. Cudahy Sells ’Phone Lin*. Cudahy Brothers of Chicago have sold their telephone line along their pipe line right of way from Phoenix, Wells county, to Kankakee, 111. The purchaser is the Union Telephone company of Bluffton, Ind. The sale adds to the latter company eighty miles of line and will add extensively to the independent system in this section of the state. The line is regarded as one of the best built among the possessions of any of the big oil concerns. It will give independent connection with Lagro, Wabash, North Judson, Poneto and a number of other points which are now out of reach. The consideration is given as SB,OOO. Poor Man Heir to Millions. Aaron Silvers, a carpenter in moderate circumstances living near Richmond, and his brother, John Silvers of Hamilton, Ohio, expect soon to inherit two estates —one of $140,000,000, on their father’s side. Aaron says he is a direct descendant of Aaron Silvers, who came from Germany about the beginning of the last century, and left millions of dollars’ worth of real estate in New York City, Boston and Philadelphia, and valuable coal lands in Pennsylvania. ”The immense estates will be adjudicated within the present year. Ex-President Harrison has charge of one part of the case. Narrow Escape for Limited. The continental limited, the fastest train on the Wabash system, had a miraculous escape from being wrecked at Liberty Mills, near Wabash. Running a mile a minute, it approached the station, and all at once the locomotive darted into the elevator siding, the lurch of the train shaking up passengers and trainmen violently. The siding fortunately did not contain a car, and the switches, being of the split pattern, the train ran out onto the main line before Engineer Cummings could apply the air. City War Over Gm Rates. The citizens of Wabash, for the first time since natural gas was piped into the city, thirteen years ago, are burning gas by the meter. The consume, s, however, do not know whether they are burning 12 cent gas or 19 cent gas, or gas at a compromise rate, but there is a distinct curtailment in the quan- ' tity of the fuel consumed. The council is determined to have 12 cent gas and it may be a year before patrons learn what rate they are paying. Ice Harvesting Is Begun. The Chicago packers have Begun the annual ice harvest on the lakes surrounding La Porte. Several hundred men are employed in housing the crop. The Chicago corporations which annually harvest ice here in sufficient quantities to fill a number of immense warehouses say the cold spell will prevent the threatened ice famine. In adjacent counties the Chicago packers have large forces of men at work harvesting a mammoth crop. Pythian Offices May Move. There is a movement on foot to take to Indianapolis the national headquarters of the board of control of the endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias, now located in Chicago. The president of this rank is C. F. Neal of Lebanon, and he has announced to his close friends that he will do he can to have the national headquarters removed to Indianapolis. Diamonds Found in Indian*. Diamonds and gold are being found in Morgan and Brown counties. A small gem was brought to a diamond merchant. He said it was genuine, worth about SBO. John Collet, a former state geologist, has one in his col - lection. State Geologist Blatchiey says the diamonds came with the prehistoric glacial drift. Plans a College for Girls. The will of Henry C. Long of Indianapolis, who died in Arizona a few days ago, has been opened. It provides that after the death of the widow and two children, his estate shall go toward the founding of a college for girls in Indianapolis. By the will the board of home missions of the Presbyterian church gets $15,000. The sum of SIO,OOO is left to the city of Indianapolis, to be used in securing a statue of Abraham Lincoln. There are numerous °smaller bequests.

telephoning through space Belief That Twelve Mlles 1* Not Tm Fm For the System. Tn a recent test of wireless telephony across the Mississippi River, at St Paul, evidence was given of the utility of the method which may result hi the the plan when the mechanism has been perfected. The distance across the river at that point Is 1000 feet and. In spite of a strong wind and extremely cold weather, conversation was carried on with little difficulty. The name wireless telephony Is something of a misnomer, as wires have to be used. One hundred and fifty feet were stretched parallel to the river on each side and the transmitters and receivers were attached to each set the voice vibrations being carried across the river from one and registered on the other. For a time the experiment worked wefc. but before long the moisture in the breath got Into the diaphragms, freezing them to such an extent that they had to be thawed out, and then did not do as good work. The cold weather, however, was of advantage la one respect, as thick Ice extended out into the river for some distance from each side, and there was no doubt that It aided in transferring the current across the stream. When the wires and apparatus were In place a test was made with a voltmeter, and it was found that there was Induction of half a volt, which made It look as if the experiment could not be carried on. In spite of this, however, the sound of the voice was easily and clearly transmitted. The first trial was with five volts of battery, and the sound of the voice could be heard, although words could not be distinguished. Later, without any change in apparatus or current, the words could be distinguished as easily as in a direct telephone, and afterwards the sounds were muffled and could not be distinguished. Other batteries were then attached, five at a time, finally cutting in with twenty volts on one side of the river and five on the other. The operator at the fl~e-volt end could not only understand what was being said to him, but could hear others talking on the bank of the river near the transmitter. Then the diaphragms began to freeze, and after they were thawed out, as has been stated, did not work. A second experiment was tried two days later, 200 feet of twelve-gauge copper wire being used on each side of the river. As before, the ends of the wire were run into the river to make a. ground, and the only experiment that failed was the attempt to talk without the aid of batteries. The test was made with twenty-two and one-half volts on each side of the river, and it was calculated that forty-five could have been used with safety. From this It was deduced that by increasing the length of the side lines the battery strength could be Increased so as to talk up to twelve miles without fear of heating the transmitter. Measurements by the ammeter showed that the earthcurrent was .1830, that whistling raised the reading to .2074, talking In a moderate voice to .3300, and talking in a loud voice to .5400. The ordinary talking current registered 43-300 amperes, and with 400 feet of wire and a resistance of 150 ohms would equal one third of an ohm to the foot.—New York Post

Sword of a Thousand Pieces.

What do you think of a sword blade that contains a thousand sheets of metai? Yet they are not uncommon, and as you will readily imagine, are of Oriental workmanship. Our painstaking, patient Japanese friends are the makers of them, and a few days ago I had the pleasure of seeing one in a Fourth avenue curiosity shop, and had its method of j .anufacture explained. The blades of these sabres are made from magnetic iron ores. The steel is produced in small very thin sheets, and the workman begins by fixing one of them to the end of ".n iron rod, which serves as a handle. To this are soldered other small sheets, until the mass has a length of about eight inches, a width of about two inches and a thickness of a little more than a quarter of an inch. This bar is brought to a white heat, doubled on itself, and hammered until it is down to its original dimensions. This process is repeated fifteen times. Four similar bars are then soldered together, doubled upon themselves, resoldered and heated, the operation being repeated five times. This process makes the superposed layers so thin that a sabre contains at least a thousand sheets of metal. If you find one of these swords that has a veined appearance you may know it is caused by alternate layers of iron and steel being soldered together.—New York Herald.

Growing Youth.

The laws of child-growth are curious. It is stated that boys do more growing in the eleventh than in any other year; girls in the fourteenth. Girls usually reach their full height at fifteen; boys at eighteen or nineteen. From the eleventh to the sixteenth year the average girl is bigger and stronger than the average boy. From November to April children grow very little. From April to July they gain in height most rapidly. From July to November they gain in weight. In hot countries children of both sexes mature much more quickly The winter cold seems to retard the growth of children just as it does of plants.—The Presbyterian. A kitten has been brought up on an exclusively vegetable diet by a* family of vegetarians. The result is that it will not touch animal food, and pays no attention to rats or mice.
