APPETITE WAS POOR
Peruna was advised. Was completely restored.
Suffered Nearly Twelve Years,
Peruna was my Relief.
Mr. .Tamos P. Bracken. No. 442 W.
43rd St., New York City, N. Y., writes:
**For nearly a dozen years catarrh has
bothered me in one form or another.
I was troubled with nasal catarrh th£t
had affected my stomach, which trou
bled me most in the morning. My
appetite was poor, and I did not soem
to relish my food. Indigestion both
ered me at times, also. x
"I Was advised to take Peruna, and
1 took it as prescribed for a month,
when my cure was almost complete.
Today there is not a trace of catarrh
In my system, and I can say without
hesitation that Peruna cured me."
November Brings Dyspepsia
November is very liable to bring
dyspepsia. People eat too much in
November. This is perfectly natural.
Turing the hot weather little food has
been required.
Food has two purposes, tissue build
ing and repairing and heat making.
The heat making properties of food
arc not needed so much during the
hot weather, hence less food Is re
quired. November brings cold weather
again and more food is required for
h< at making purposes. The appetite
craves more food, and the result Is
most people over indulge.
This may bring on a condition of
the stomach known as dyspepsia. The
stomach is suddenly surprised with
extra work in digesting unusual
amounts of food. In some cases it is
not equal to the emergency.
Peruna is an excellent stomachic. J
It stimulates the stomach in its nat- j
ural functions. It acts as <a gentle
laxative also, and in this way enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
rise to the emergency of the extra work
thrown upon them during the month of
November.
A few doses of Peruna ddring the
early days of November would un
doubtedly save a great many people
from the horrors of dyspepsia. it is
an excellent remedy. It should be in
every home, in order to enable the
digestive organs to adjust themselves
to the difference of diet between sum
mer and winter.
Catarrh of Head and Stomach
Mr. Frank Richter, 309 Fast .Second
St., Winona, Minn., writes: "As a
remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in
recommending Peruna for catarrh of
the stomach.
"My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. I tried many
remedies without success. I tried sev
eral doctors but they were unable to
cure me. I read of Peruna in the
.papers and five bottles cured me."
System In Dad Condition 9
Mr. Michael Rooney, 26 Fifth St.,
Watervllet, N. Y., wirtes:
"If I had known of Peruna years ago
I should have been saved much suffer
ing. Under carelessness and exposure
in my younger years my systenl got into
a very bad condition before I was aware
of it.
"My friends advised me to try Peruna,
for which I am very thankful, as it has
cured me in two months."

Try To White

W»|ile W ho Attempt to Hide Unsightly
Pimples llehtud Paint and Powder,
« log Their Pores and Coarsen
Their Skin
Pimples are the souroe of the great
«st chagHn and humiliation to the sen
sitive girl anxious for the admiration
that beauty receives. And It is only
natural that she tries to hide them be
hind paint and powder.
She little realises, however, what al
most Irreparable Injuiy she inflicts on
her skin through the cloglng and en
larging of the pores of the skin. The
Impurities In the blood that cause pim
ples have now no way of escape and
new pimples break-out not only on
the face but on the shoulders, back anu
arms. Instead of improving her looks,
■he has spoiled whatever beauty was
left her. • ' '

“There'* \o Vac Trying I eau't Hide
Pimples With Paint.
If she only knew how easily'plmples
can be cured wtth Stuart’s Calcium Wa
fers, she would never use cosmetics
again. Just as soon as her b'lood has
been cleansed by the purifying agents
ef this sovereign remedy, all the foul
conditions of her skin—pimples, black
heads, brashes and liver spdts—would
quickly disappear. And the ' rosy
cheeks and rich* glowing colors of a
healthy, natural oomplexlon will be a
hundredfold more attractive than any
she could possibly get out of a paint
box or a powder rag.
Smart's Calcium Wafers taken into
the blood convert the lmpuriclcs that
nave gathered in the pores Into a gas
eous Arm that readily escapes through
the pores. At the same timet they
stimulate the pores Intb throwing off
the foul matter that has accumulated
about them. The result Is that the
blood and skin are quickly freed of all
Impurities and restored to a healthy
vigorous condition. Wtth pure blood,
a healthy, beautiful skin will follow as
certainly as day follows night.
If you have a pimply, broken out
■kin, your should clear It up at once
with Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. Don’t
white-wash your face, tt fools no

Mr. Greer stated that he could not
with propriety discuss the report which
had not been filed with the governor,
but that, when the sworn testimony se
cured at the investigation under orders

will show that he made a thorough in

not tell him the whole truth as to their
treatment because they stood in awe of
the lash.
Mr. Greer denies that he was actuated
by political motives in exonerating the

he said, he would have made a different
report, one that would have played to
the Mobile vote.

STEEL FEELS THE
EFFECTSOF TARIFF
The Volume of Business in
Rolled Products Dis
appointing
New' York, October 11.—The volume of
business in rolled products was disap
pointing to the steel mills this week and
the tendency of prices wras downward.
Thus far the effect of the new' tariff has
been to curtail business, as consumers
anticipating low'er prices remained out of
the market. On the other hand foreign
competition in the home markets has been
almost negligible to date and there has
been no occasion for the mills to reduce
| prices here, but in the last six weeks
steel billets have receded $3 per ton.
Steel sheet even more and tin plate 52
per ton or 10 cents per base box.
Wire produets have not changed essen
tially, except in the south, where local
mills have shaded prices $1 per ton. The
new' tariff schedule gives foreign wire
nails, plain wire and galvanized barbed
fence wire an advantage of $3 per ton on
the Atlantic seaboard, but the advantage
disappears as freight rate3 to the Interior
are encountered. Any readjustment of
prices here will require months to estab
lish.
Jn the meantime home manufacturers
are well fortified with specifications on
contracts, and as a whole rolling mills
schedules are well in hand for the rest
of the year. Some special lines, however,
are suffering, and output of sheets and
tin plate is being reduced.
Last W'eek the railroads placed orders
for nearly 50,000 tons of rails, including
30,000 for the Great Northern, 5000 for the
Chicago Great Western, 6000 for the Jersey
Central. Bridge contracts were placed
by the New Haven, Boston and Albany,
Michigan Central, Toledo and Ohio Cen
tral and Pittsburg and Lake Erie. Steel
building orders, outside of railroads,
called for 12,000 tons steel shades.
