TAKE PERUNA FOR
COUGHS AND COLDS
If you used Pe
runa at the begin
ning of every cold
you would then ap
preciate the value
of this great rem
edy. Do not wait
until the cold has
fastened itself up
on you. Take it at
the first symptom.
This is the way to
ward off the cold
so that it does you
no harm.
Peruna used tn
the beginning of a
SB. HARTMAN. M. D. cold prevents a
Columbus. Ohio cough entirely.
Yes, I mean what I say. It pre
vents a cough. A cough is an effort to
expel catarrhal discharges in the bron
chial tdles. There would be no catarrhal
discharges in the bronchial tubes if Pe
runa was taken at the beginning of a cold,
therefore there would be no cough. Don't
you catch the point?
After the cough begins Peruna will
atop it just as quickly as it ought to
be stopped. To stop a cough before all
of the expectoration has been removed is
to do great injury. After the expectora
tion has been properly removed the cough
will stop itself. That is the only proper
way to stop a cough.
Occasionally a cough depends upon an
irritable condition of the larynx or bron
chial tubes, in which there is little or no
expectoration.
The problem of stopping such a cough
is a slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken, but some
times it is necssary that local treatment
be added..
But in any case Peruna is needed. You
do not have to stop to write me. Get
Peruna at once and commence taking it.
You can get rid of that cough sooner I
believe than in any other way.
Should you wish to consult me at any
time while you are taking Peruna you are
at perfect liberty to write me. Your let
ters will be held strictly confidential and
you will receive prompt answer.
I want to stop that cough of yours.
I want to stop it before it really begins.
I want to stop it before it has a chance
to injure your lungs, an injury that you
may not mecover from during your whole
life. Yes, I do. You do your part. I
will do mine. No. 54.

Suffered Three Years. Used ResinoL

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 27, 1912.-"I had
been troubled for the past three years
with pimples which completely covered
my face and neck. The pimples would
come out, fester up and cause me to pick
at them, feeling very uncomfortable. I
tried most all kinds of facial creams, but
with no effect. I tried a sample of Res

Ceylon Tea.
Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 30 years, yet the
annual exports of black tea amount to
nearly $20,000,000 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after a disease of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin
ued. Many planters, however, re
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the island's old prosperity revived.
Today Ceylon boasts 1,500 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the cli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employes is to
watch machinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Singhal
ese, but natives of southern India. A
laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents a day, while a foreman's
salary averages $200 a month.--Har

Not Altogether a Case of Love.
Here is a story to illustrate the
point that one never can judge by ap

"A young boy with golden curls, a
regular cherub in appearance, was on
the front porch playing with a little
dog and putting him through a lot of
tricks. ' A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance of the
little chap and the celerity with which
the dog obeyed all his commands.
"'Ah, little boy,' he said, 'you must
love your dog. Are you good to him?'
"'Sure!' answered the cherub.
"'And I suppose be loves you, too,
and that's why he mifids you so
well?'
"'Well, if he didn't mind me, I'd
knock his blooming block off,' was the
unexpected retort of the child."

HENRY LANE WILSON.
Ambassador to Mexico.
Mexico City, by Courier to Vera
Cruz.-It was the federal forces that
precipitated hostilities during the ar
mistice Sunday. Operations were re
sumed without warning and the rebels
fired upon the federals who were seek
ing to advance their lines upon the
west side of the arsenal.
The movement was observed by the
outposts and the word was passed to
Captain Delgado, commander in
charge of the rebels' west wing. He
at once gave orders to check the ad
vance.
The firing in this section quickly
provoked a return fire from the fed
eral positions and within ten minutes
the big guns of both forces were in ac
tion as fiercely as at any period of
the battle.
Immense water mains lying in the
streets ready for installation were
said to have been used as a tunnel
by the government soldiers tp ap
proach the enemy's lines.
Foreign Diplomats Surprised.
The American ambassador and
other foreign diploamtic rebresenta
tives had received assurance early in
the day that the armistice would be
extended to 8 o'clock Monday night,
as the removal of the foreigners from
the line of fire had not been com
pleted. An accurate approximation of
the number of dead and wounded in
the eight days' fighting is impossible.
Government army officers admit 350
killed and 400 seriously wounded on
the fedelial side. The.Diaz adherents
acknowledge losses of 80 killed and
100 wounded. Ambulances of the Red
Cross Society have ceased attempting
to remove the dead and are devoting
their entire attention to the wounded.
The dead are being gathered by the
city street cleaning department wag
ons and burned.
Mexico City.-The strongest censor
ship on all dispatches has'been estab
lished at the City of Mexico. Govern
ment officials took charge of the cable
Saturday evening and ruthlessly dis
carded messages of correspondents to
their papers.
Code messages and all messages
containing any expressions whatever
that might be construed into a sug
gestion of the important happenings
in the capital came under the ban and
were promptly confiscated by the cen
sor and his assistants.
Nevertheless, several dispatches of
a somewhat detached nature escaped
the vigilance of the censorship, and
an early bulletin was flashed through
that the armistice signed at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning had been broken, and
that both sides were fighting say
_ely.
Diplomatic Messages Through.
The Mexican government was un
able to shut off the official dispatches
of the diplomatic corps, but as these
are sent in cipher, considerable de
lay is being experienced because of
the time occupied in translation, and
the fear is expressed that many
things may occur in the Mexican capi
tal detrimental to the foreign resi
dents before the exact situation is
learned by the home governments.
Brief dispatches giving a general
idea of the situation prior to the fresh
outbreak of hostilities were received
by the censors and allowed to pass
along to their respective destinations,
but the government apparently is de
termined that not a word of the fight
ing which has torn the city asunder
for eight days shall be communicated
to the outside world, if that can be
prevented.
The government has not only shut
the world off from the City of Mexico,
but, so far as the public is concerned
has shut the City of Mexico off from
the world, including the whole of the
lexican republic. News dispatches
sent Saturday night from the United
States to the City of Mexico were
either refused or held up, the inten
tion evilently being that the residents
in the capital shall not be informed
of the measures which have been un
dertaken by the American and other
governments to protect their interests.
Move in Favor of Diaz.
While Madero has been reiterating
his declaration that conditions in Mex
ico outside of the capital are satisfac
tory, advices from various centers in
dicate that there have been impor
tant movements in favor of Diaz.
Confirmation of the breaking of the
armistice and the resumption of hos
tilities has been received from Laredo,
Mexico, where wire communication
was established with the City of Mex
ico early Sunday afternoon, and again
as late as 9 o'clock Sunday night. On
both occasions the message stated
that a battle was on.
Official advices from Ambassador
Wilson tell of the narrow escape of
the British minister, Francis W.
Strong, from federal bullets while on
his way to a conference at the Ameri.
can embassy Saturday. The automo
bile in which Mr. Strong was riding,
escorted by a federal guard, was
struck in several places. This gives
some slight indication of the difficul
ties and dangers encountered by the
diplomatic representatives in their en
deavors to bring about a peaceful set
tlement.
Further advices from the ambassa
dor says that the majority of the
American residents have found places
of relative safety, although a few of
them have refused to abandon their
homes.
President Madero sent a message
to President Taft Saturday, asking
the American government not to in
tervene in Mexico.
Americans Are Leaving.
Hurried preparations were made in
Mexico City Sunday for the flight of
American women and children from
the stricken city to safety within the
borders of the United States.
As soon as the armistice had been
declared, the American embassy staff
and the committee appointed by Am
bassador Wilson began the work of
assembling the panic-stricken women
and children at the embassy. Many
who hitherto had paid no heed to the
warning of the ambassador to leave
the city now were eager to embrace
any measure which meant their de
liverance from the panic which has
followed in the wake of a week's dis
orders.
It was pointed out that the easiest
way to safety lay via Vera Cruz, only
a short distance by rail. Once ar
rived at the port of the capital city,
the refugees would have full pr0tec
tion pending continuance of their jour
ney by steamer to American soil, prob
ably Galveston. Three American
dreadnaught already lie at anchor in
Vera Cruz harbor. With the guns of
three sea monsters leveled toward the
city, refugees would have little to
fear, but if necessity should arise the
fugitives could be taken aboard ship.
While preparations for flight of the
women and the younger members of
the American colony were going for
ward, the work of removing all for
eigners from the danger zone was en
tered upon in earnest, and hundreds
sought safety in the vicinity of the
American embassy, where every kind
of a shelter was employed as a place
of refuge.
List of American Victims.
The following is a list of casualties
to Americans since the revolt in Mex
ico City began, as compiled from re
ports to the Washington government:
Killed-R. M. Meredith of Troy,
Ohio, agent for the National Cash
Register Company, struck by a bullet

man O. Weiss, a civil engineer of
Washington and New York, said to
have been shot to death. Mrs. H. W.
Holmes, wife of an employe of Dun's,
killed while preparing dinner. Mrs.
Percy Griffith, wife of an employe
of the street railway company, legs
shot off, causing death.
Wounided-Dr. R. H. McCresson of
Lincoln, Neb., finger shot off while
walking to his hotel; Mark Johnson,
colored, of Madison, Wis., shot
