ll v f I V - A PLAIN TALK On a Plain Subject in Plain Language. The coming winter will cause at least one-half of the women to have catarrh, colds, coughs, pneumonia or consumption. Thousands of women will lose theiriivesand tens of thousands will acquire some chronic nilKEEP ment from which they will PERUNA never recover. IN THE Unless ou take the lecHOUSE essary precautions, the .Hi chances arc that you (who read this) will be one of the unfortunate ones. Little or no risk need be run if Peruna is kept in the house and at the first appearance of any symptom of catarrh taken as directed on the bottle. Peruna is a safeguard, a preventative, a specific, a cure for nil cases of catarrh, acute ami chronic, coughs, colds, consumption, etc. For free medical advice, address Dr. S. B.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of tho l.ustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless tho Inflammation can be lakcn out and tills tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will Do destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition cf the mucous surfaces. We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot lie cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.

“Harold,” said Mrs. WontwOrk, “when I married you I was earning *22 per week and I had it all to myself." “Yes, my love,” said her husband. “Now, I’m earning if.tO per week, but you only let me have half of it.” Mr. Wontwork considered the situation thoughtfully. “Well, I see but one way out of it, Mary.” he replied finally. “You’ll have to look around and try to get a better job.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.

A COLD OIM THE LUNGS THREATENS TO BECOME SERIOUS. Pe-ru-na Brings Speedy Relief. Mrs. 11. E. Adams, ex-President Palmetto C’lub, of New Orleans. La., writes from 110 Garfield court, South Bend, Ind., as follows: ••lam pleased to endorse Peruna, as I took It about a year ago and it soon brought me relief from a cold on my lungs which threatened to be serious. “The lungs were sore jmd inflnined, I coughed a couple of hours every night, and I felt that something must be done before my lungs became affected. “Peruna was suggested by some of my friends who had used it, and acting upon their advice I tried it and found that it was able to bring about a speedy cure. You have my highest endorsement and thanks for the good it did me. Sounding the Praises of Peruna. Mrs. Frances Wilson, 32 Nelson St., Clinton, Mnss., write£: “Had you seen me at the time of my illness and now, you would not wonder that I take delight in sounding the praises of Peruna. “My ailment w;as a severe cold which attacked the bronchial tubes and lungs. “/ followed your special directions and after using six bottles of Peruna, I was on my feet again. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine.”

He Rides a Wheel.

“Look out for the man riding alongside a car on a bicycle,” remarked a Central detail detective the other day. “The street car workers have a new dodge, and the man on the bicycle is part of the game. He’s the ‘outside man,’ as it were. .“A grafter gets on the car and the car is followed by the guy on the wheel. When ‘the goods’—a watch or scarfpin—is taken by the fellow on the car he throws it to his pal on the wheel, who gets away with it. If the guy on the wheel sees trouble ahead on the car he gets away, but not without first getting the stuff from his partner if he can. “It’s a slick game, and puzzled us for a while, but we tumbled to it by recognizing one of the crooks on a wheel.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Lugged the Load.

A bright looking girl of 20 or so. evidently not in this country more than a year or two, rode up from the Polk Street Depot in a Dearborn street horse car with a newly landed Immigrant, who, from facial resemblance, seemed to be her brother. The girl lugged the youth's big valise into the car and bent under It again when they got off at Adams street and disappeared lu the direction of the Union Depot, her companion lolling along nt ease by her side quite empty handed. “She's so glad to meet him," remarked the conductor, “that the girl has forgotten that in this country it Isn’t stylish for the women to lug the heavy burden*.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

The weekly review of trade, published by R. G. Dun & Co., says:

Chicago. |

Results of last year’s business, viewed as a whole, present a better showing than was expected, this being entirely accounted for by the rapid recovery in the consumption of commodities throughout the last quarter. Manufacturing returns are not equal, but most of the leading distributive branches of general merchandise exhibit gains over 1903, clothing and dry goods being conspicuous in this respect. The new year trade opened under encouraging conditions, wholesome confidence in the future forming the basis of the new effort. The outlook generally seems to be gratifying in all lines of 'industry, and this is supplemented by the favorable state of the growing crops. Ijocal dealings this week were of the normal volume.. Frequent recorders indicate that stocks of winter goods already are well broken. into, while country advices show that sales have been well up to expectations, particularly so during the holidays. Agriculturists continue to realize profitably upon their products, and this assures the means for liberal purchases of necessities and for improvements. Good reasons appear for expecting a large trade in spring staples, and salesmen are now actively canvassing with fair success in the interior. Notwithstanding difficulties of transportation due to severe weather, railroad earnings are larger than a year ago, and an unusually heavy movement is noted of farm products and manufactured materials. Mercantile collections show more promptness, defaults in this direction having decreased and the failures include few of importance. Board of trade activity, as reflected by increased clearings for 1904, have been fully sustained by the volume of current operations. Grain shipments, 3,313,200 bushels, are 00 per ceut more than those a year ago, while receipts aggregated 4,855,430 bushels, against 3,050,718 bushels a year ago. Quotations for wheat, corn and oats closed a little under those a week ago, but flour turned slightly higher. Provisions and live stock have been in more ample supply, and the average of prices showed a small decline, although pork and lard advanced. Failures in the Chicago district numbered 27, against 19 last week, and 35 a year ago.

Bradstreet’s weekly trade report takes a hopeful view of the situation

New York.

throughout the country. It says: Seasonable quiet rules distribution at present. Consideration of past favorable results and preparations for what is confidently hoped to he n prosperous year's trade engrosses wholesalers and jobbers. Cold weather, however, makes for a fair retail trade in winter goods, and this, with necessary replenishment of broken stocks, induces a fair reassorting demand at leading centers. Buttressing the expectations of a safe isfactory spring to come are the fair volume of orders already booked in leading lines of dry goods, shoes, clothing and kindred articles and the generally small stocks reported carried in final distributors’ .hands. Western jobbers’ stocks are reported 10 to 30 per cent smaller than a year ago at this date, and this fact, coupled with the knowledge that the coining three and six months’ business will compare with a reduced volume a year ago, leads to the belief that comparisons from now on will favor the present year. Business failures in the United States for the week ended Jan. 5 number 262, against 218 last week, 202 in the like week in 1004, 336 in 1003, 340 In 1002 and 322 in 1001. In Cunada

failures for the week number 18, against 20 last week, and 40 in this week a year ago.

ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA.

"Potatoes the Finest I Ever Saw." Owing to the great amount of interest that is being taken in Western Canada, it is Well to be informed of some of the facts that, are bringing about the great emigration from portions of the United States. The Canadian government have authorized agents,at different points, and the facts related iq the following may be corroborated on application. At'the same time they will be able to quote you rates and give you certificates entitling you to low rates on the different lines of railway. The following letter, copied from the North Bend (Neb.) Eagle, is an unsolicited testimonial, and the experience of Mr. Austen is that of hundreds of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years. “I presume some may be interested to know how we have progressed this year in the Canadian Northwest. We have no complaint to offer. We have had a good year; crops were good and we have had a delightful season. I threshed from my place 8,G50 bushels of grain. My oats made 05 bushels per acre and weighed 42)4 pounds per bushel. My wheat made 31)4 bushels per acre and is No. 1 quality. My barley made about 30 bushels of good quality. My crop is a fair average of the crops in the Edmonton district. “All crops were good here this season. Potatoes the finest I ever saw, and all vegetables adapted to the climate. We have had a very fine fall, but no exception to the rule, as the fall season is, I think, the most pleasant of the year. We have had no snow yet (Nov. 9), and have been plowing and working the land preparing for an early seeding next spring. Last night the mercury* dropped lower than any previous night this fall, and this morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work. No doubt many would imagine that Alberta had put on her winter overcoat before this, and that the people were wrapped in furs, but it is only a question of time when this country will not be looked upon as an iceberg, but a country fit for the best of mankind to live in. '■' ' ’ “ We are now assured of a transcontinental railway, which is to be built to the Pacific during the next five years. The Canadian Northern Road is graded to within seventy-five miles of Edmonton. It comes from Winnipeg, and will reach us next summer, so with one railroad already at hand, the second to reach us in less than a year, and the third to penetrate our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years, we surely have reason to believe that the country is progressing. Very respectfully,

A University Fund.

President Hadley of Yale University recently established a fund of SI,OOO, being the money received by him for giving the Dodge lectures at Yale last year, less certain expenses. This fund is to be held by the treasurer of Yale under the condition that it .may be drawn upon for university uses at the discretion of the president, says the New York Tribune. It is planned by the president to add to this amount any sums be may receive from the university while president for delivering lectures or for other services over and above his regular salary.

The C. S. Dept. of Agriculture

gives to Salzer’s Oats its heartiest endorsement. Salzer’s New National Oats yielded in 1901 from 150 to 300 bu. per acre m 30 different States, and you, Mr. Farmer, can beat this in 1905, if you will.

Speitz or Eminer, above, illustrated, gives 80 bushels grain and four tons hay besides per acre. It's wonderful. Salzer’e seeds are pedigree seeds, bred up through careful selection to big yields. Per Acre. Salzer’s Beardless Barley yielded 121 bu.

L. J. AUSTEN.

woman of Jacksonville, Fla., daughter of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* ** Dear Mrs. Pinkham : There are but few wives and mothers wba have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. “ I have seen cases where women doctored for years without pniiiM nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this mediciflfe. I have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tone* vqp the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true,h4noa I fully endorse it.” —Mrs. R. A. Anderson, 225 Washington St, Jack* sonville, Fla. Mn. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., say>> “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I feel it my duty jatMvxWbfk to write and tell you the good I have recerred from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Conedhigy “I liave been a great sufferer with female '"TT' jSm trouble, trying different doctors and rned ichw " *** fy with no benefit. Two years ago I went under LJ &an operation, and it left me in a very weak jBHBn -22? Y condition.

I find yours ™ the only medicine that reaches f I ha l\ Jv, \Wwwfr such troubles, and would cheerfully reoW ft 11 % ommend Lydia E.

Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound at one* removes such troubles. The experience and testimony of some of the most nofad women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, as thousands do. Her advice is free and helpful. No other medicine for women in the world has received such wide* spread and unqualified endorsement.
