AN HONEST DOCTOR ADVISED PE-RU-NA, MR. SYLVESTER E. SMITH, Room 218, Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo., writes: '-Peruna is the best friend a sick man can havo. "A few months ago I came here in a wretched condition. Exposure and dampness had ruined my once robust health. I had catarrhal affections of the bronchial tubes, and for a time there was a doubt as to my recovery. "My good honest old doctor advised mo to take Peruna, 'which I did and in a short time my health began to improve very rapidly, the bronchial troublo gradually disappeared, and in three months my health was fully restored.

Artificial Honey. Bee keepers in southern Italy are becoming seriously alarmed at the perfection which has been attained in the manufacture of artificial honey. The West India Committee's Circular, rr ir\ + Via m-affor cave fhnf* t.hA process of its manufacture is a very simple one and involves the use of the best quality of refined sugar and its melting and boiling with the addition to it of tartaric acid to the extent of about one-tenth of one per cent, of the weight of the sugar. It must be boiled in au enameled vase, under pressure for forty-five minutes. The liquid will then have assumed a golden color and on cooling will have the consistency of ordinary honey. If a little true honey is mixed with it the mass will assume the flavor to such an p.xtent as to be indistinguishable from the genuine article. v Bee keepers are endeavoring to obtain legislation which shall enact that some substance shall be added to artificial honey so that it may be distinguishable at a glance from the genuine article. On the other hand, it is claimed that the artificial honey may be very useful to bee keepers because by mixing it with inferior, or unsalable honey, a marketable article may be produced. So many peanuts are eaten in this country that the native supply is not sufficient for the demand, and about $3000 worth of the African nuts were imported from Marseilles in 1906 and over $73,000 worth in 1907. The west coast of Africa produces quantities of peanuts. Many important drainage projects are under way in the marsh land of Louisiana which will ultimately make it a great agricultural country. DROPPED COFFEE. Doctor Gains 2C Founds on Postum. A physician of Wash., D. C., says of his coffee experience: "For years I suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes I was almost frantic. I was sallow, constipated, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for tnese ins and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. ? "Finally wife bought a package of Postum and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. (I make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same experience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full 15 minute's after boiliag commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it?it invigorated and seemed to nourish me. "That was about a year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, my brain clear and my haud steady. ] have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man. "I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing,but I had dropped It before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates ana aiuumsns. mis is no Imaginary tale. It can be substantiated by my wife and her sicter, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70.

Hi; shortage was first estimated at $64 0, 000, but this figure was afterward re duced to $541,882. This includec the funds of the Baptist Conventioi of Connecticut, amounting to $50, 000. Walker, while a fugitive, sent i confession to the president of hi: bank, in which he said that the los: was occasioned by a bond swindli into which he had been inveigled b; a former employe of a Wall Stree firm of brokers. The swindlers, In alleged, got $110,000 in cash at om time, and $24,000 at another time It was also reported that he had beei victimized by a gang of wire-tapper: in New York City, who took severa thousands from him. When captured on the other sid< of the Mexican boundary line Walke put up a stiff legal fight to preven his extradition, and his case went t< the highest courts of Mexico, the fina | decision being that he should bi turned over co the United States am j Connecticuc authorities.

IT SOMETIMES TAKES A LARGE t WW^S/rJ ?/ ? )w> f i ** ?Carto< Millions of Germs i Or. Wiley Experiments on Chinaware Tal Hotels?Cause o! Appendicitis?Ch Many Inflammatory Diseases?I Washington, D. C.?To those who leave their offices each noon to snatch a hasty lunch, the Government has a word of advice to offer. It is this: Whenever a restaurateur offers you a cracked mug and a chipped, seamy plate on which food is served, flee it as you would the pestilence. In the recesses of those cracks lurk thou sanas 01 uacieria, auu iukj uran uv distinction between the millionaire employer and his $10 a week stenographer. The Bureau of Chemistry, at the head of which is Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, has just concluded experiments on cracked china utensils taken from the lunch rooms of Washington. The conditions they find to exist in the restaurants here are duplicated iu every big city. In New York and Chicago, where trade at "quick lunch" establishments is much greater, a far larger population of germs is believed to have taken up its abode in the cracks and crevices of the table service. The examination of the chinaware by the Government came about as a result of a crusade being waged against unhealthful kitchens and J serving rooms in the District of Colj umbia. With the approval of Secretary Wilson and Dr. Wiley the Government chemists were turned loose on the trail. They discovered millions of germs in the cracks. Dr. George W. Stiles, bacteriological chemist of the department, had charge of the tests. Several dozen cracked mugs, plates and saucers taken at random from the counters of lunch rooms and from the cafes of hotels were examined. The result was that Dr. Stiles discovered twentythree distinct species of organisms lurking in the cracks and seams. In the final test it was found that these organisms ranged in number from ! 4SG to 14,5SO,000 to every square inch. Nearly all of the bacteria belonged I to the family of bacillus coli. The bacillus coli is blamed as the | cause of many inflammatory diseases, among which is appendicitis. Many of the other bacilli found in I the cracked chinaware are due to unclean conditions. These may not be noticeable, and the kitchens of the lunch rooms may be clean and spotless, but the impossibility of cleansing the utensils thoroughly when they are cracked leaves the bacilli to increase and multiply.

The bacilli are no respector of persons. Dr. Stiles, in discussing the result of his tests, says: "This is a question which must necessarily appeal to every responsible individual who seriously considers the matter of eating clean and wholesome food. When we consider the great number and variety of organisms studied in relation to these cracked mugs the question of household sanitation becomes more imnerative than ever, and a study of the sanitary conditions in private and I public life would in many instances furnish startling results. "Many of our hotels, public restaurants and cafes are particular to see that splendid serving rooms are provided and elaborately furnished, which from exterior appearances seem to be all that could be desired for the welfare and comfort of their guests, but let one go behind the scenes in many places and note the changed conditions. The picture may be entirely different from that expected. "The sanitary aspect of refrigerators and iceboj:es during hot weather may develop conditions beyond human toleratioik. Why people do not take better c?\re of these places of storage is difficult to say. However, it is a regrettable fact that many such places often contain highly objectionable material, and if not intended for immediate use it often contaminates and ruins the entire contents of the icebox. "In concluding it seems highly desirable to eliminatetheuse of cracked . dishes for the reception of food materials, and to make an appeal for a more careful observance of the known hygienic measures to protect our food from unnecessary and undesirable contamination." Dr. Pasquale Grillo takes sharp issue with Dr. Wiley. "Of course there are germs in cracked china," ho said, *'as there are in everything else in the ! universe. And it may be that som<? j of these are bad instead of good. The proportion of bad germs to good ones is as 6 to 1,000,000,000. The bad germ may kill you; the good one? may be eaten by the spoonful without ; harmful results. A healthy person j - 1 r? A n 1' Q t n !

OPENS NEWPORT CONFERENCE War Excusable Only in Case Nation "Intends to Hammer Opponent Until That Opponent Quits"? Fleet Must Be "Footless." Newport, R. I.?At the end of a perilous sea trip from Oyster Bay to Newport, during which his own and his family's iives were imperilled when the yacht Mayflower ran down and sank a lumber schooner in the Sound, President Roosevelt appeared before the Naval War College here and made the strongest plea he has ever made for a greater navy. The plea amounted to a Presidential demand for more battleships, more sailors and better fighting equipment without delay. And casting off the mask of diplomacy in which he hitherto has veiled his public utterances on this subject, the President frankly gave the country inferential notice that the restriction of Japanese immigration, which he nJnnnotoo m a v "vprv l>OS3iblv" uu luvtj . ^ 4 m plunge this country into war with Japau unless the navy is made big enough to awe the Orientals into acquiescence. The speech delivered to a body of men, the majority of whom are fighting officers, won instant approbation and the President's trenchant demands were enthusiastically applauded. As a result it is learned the i suggestions for the construction of our fighting craft hereafter will come , more from the officers of the line than i 1 from the bureau?or swivel chair? I I chiefs. j | In a secret conference following the , public speech fourteen Rear-Admirals, only a few of whom are on I the retired list, faced the President. , He insisted, during the hour's discussion, that existing methods must be ' revised if the maximum of con- I structlve efficiency is to be attained , in the building of the nation's war ships.

I want a resistless fighting navy, because it is the most effective guar- 1 antee of peace that this country can have. No fight was ever won yet except by hitting, and the one unforgivable , offense in any man is to hit soft. When this nation does have to | ' to war, such war will only be cusable if the nation intends to ham- | mer its opponent until that opponent j | quits fighting. If war comes at any time in the ( future, that administration under ] which it comes will indeed be guilty of folly if it uses the fleet to protect 1 any port.
