Peruna Will Stop That Cough “I Have s found Peruna to be an Excellent Tonic.” Mrs. Perry, of 819 18th Avenue N. E., Minneapolis, Minn., is the wife of Commander Freeman G. Perry and well known In G. A. R. and society circles. She Is the author of “Minne haha Laughing Water." She says: “I have tried Peruna and found it an excellent tonio and cure for catarrh. It Is good for all catarrhal affections of the stomach, and all diseases leading to consumption. Also for bronchial troubles. 1 believe It to be one of the best medicines on the market. Thousands can testify to Its cure with the same pleasure that 1 can.” I Had tha Grip, Mr. C. Happy, Hardin, Ray Co., Mo., writes: “1 can safely recommend Pe runa as a remedy that will cure all catarrhal troubles. It was of great benefit to me as It cured me of ca tarrh of the throat, and I took a very bad cold and had la grippe last Feb ruary. It settled In my throat and lungs. I took three bottles of Peru na, and It cured me. I highly recom mend It to all who are sick, and I am glad to add my endorsement to that of others.” Another Case of Grip. Mrs. Jane Gift, R. F. D. 1, Athens, Ohio, writes: “I think I would have been dead long ago If It had not been for Peruna. Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. The doctor came to see me every day, but I gradually grew worse. I told my husband I thought I would surely die If I did not get relief soon. “I Told my husband I wanted to try r Peruna. He went directly to the drug store and got a bottle of Peruna. I could see the Improvement In a very short time, and was soon able to do my work. I continued using it until X was entirely cured.” Do /op a cough by taking de pressants or opiates. A cough stopped that way will return. Stop a cough by taklng'a tonic, like Peruna. This rids the system of the irritation that caused the cough. Cough is an effort on the part of nature to clear the bronchial tubes. It is a mistake to stop a cough, ex cept by assisting nature in clearing the tubes. Opiates and depressants simply numb the nervous system and the cough stops, leaving the poison ous and irritating materials in the bronchial tubes. This will soon affect the lungs. Let us stop the cough with Peruna. that strengthens and builds up and removes the Irritation. Catarrh of the Bronchial Tubes Chronic Cough Mrs. Wm. Hohmann, 2764 Lincoln Ave., Chicago, III., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of bron chial tubas and had a torriblo cough ever since a child. "I would sit up in bed with pillows propped up behind me, but still the cough would not let me sleep. I thought and everybody else that I had consumption. ‘‘So reading the papers about Pe runa I decided to try, without the least bit of hope that It would do me any good. But after taking throe bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never discouraged. Finally I seemed not to cough so much and the pains In my chest got better and I could rest at night “I am well now and oured of a chronic cough and sore throat. I , cannot tell you how grateful I am, and I cannot thank Poruna enough. It has cured where doctors have failed and I talk Peruna wherever I go, recommend it to everybody." Those who object to liquid medi cines can now procure Poruna Tab lets. “SELL A BALE OF COTTON” MOVE IS ADVANCED I_ Huntsville Merchants Urge Planters to Sell Staple to Pay Accounts.

However, Are with President in Opposition to Put ting Quarter Billion in Southern Banks Washington. December B.—(Special.) Prom Intentions disclosed today by Rep resentative Henry of Texas, the opening of the last session of Congress on Mon day may prove mighty suggestive of the Donnybrook fair, celebrated In song and story as a scene of strife and carnage. War. horrid war, is to be opened Imme diately, says Henry, and many represen tatives from the south will fight for the passage of his measure to compel the treasury to be loaned to producers on warehouse receipts for those staples. Only two formalities will precede the firing of the first gun—a prayer by the chaplain, mayhap for peace, and the read ing of the Journal for October 24, the clos ing day of the last session. Then will arise Mr. Henry to demand the regular order of business and a vote will be taken on the motion which was pending when the hands of the clock were tampered with and the last session adjourned sine die. This motion is to recommit to the banking and currency committee an ad ministration amendment to the federal re serve law, with Instructions to the com mittee to tack thereon Henry’s $260,000, 000 provision. By even debutant and dilettante ob servers It Is predicted that this motion will be defeated: whereat. Henry will bob up with some other motion designed to keep the house in turmoil, for relief legislation for the south," said for relief legislation fo rthe south," said Henry to the correspondent of The Age Herald. "If beaten on one line, we will take up another; but, we are going to keep fighting to the end." On the other hand, at the close of the last session Representative Blackmon In formed the House that he "always had known" there was no chance of getting $260,000,000 or any similar sum for the south by such legislation, and he did not propose to be a "four flusher" by pre tending to any such belief. It is highly probable that more than one member from Alabama will vote against Henry’s motion, and that they will be joined in this course by members from other south ern states. Also whisper has It that the Gardner resolution for an investigation into the de fenses of the country may become in volved in the cotton and tobacco move ment. Henry Is chairman of the commit tee on rules, and continued opposition by the administration to his proposed re lief legislation may move him to retaliate by obtaining from his committee a fa vorable report on the Gardner measure, j which has been pronounced anathema by the White House. Henry may not be the greatest states man in the Junior chamber, but no one ever has accused him of being a "quitter,’■ and his friends declare him to be ready to stand up and sw'ap blows with the White House, and in the vernacular "to take the count," rather than "to throw up the sponge." So, merry sportings will mark the open ing of the session, and they who delight In bullfights and the duello may find In the proceedings an acceptable substitute for those forbidden pastimes.

There was some surprise at this state ment as the Impression was that the large majority of toys were of foreign manufacture. This Impression was shown to bo erroneous and from the statements of the managers of the various stores the American made toys have for some years been crowding out the foreign made toys, for they are not only better made und more durable, but are actually cheaper. There was one class of toys of which the claim was made that the foreign made doll was superior to that of do mestic manufacture, but now comes an article from the forest service of , the United Mates department of agriculture showing that thousands of dolls of 'he very best type are being made In the United States. Special mention Is made of a type of indestructable wooden doll made by a Philadelphia firm from native basswood, a timber particularly adupted for the manufacture of all kinds of wood en toys. The department asserts that the center of doll manufacture Is shift ing from Europe to America. The arti cle follows: "Because of the European war there has been considerable comment to the effect that there will be a dearth of Christmas toys this year, since the toy sources of France and Germany will not be available to American children. French dolls have been the standard during at least two generations, and Nuremburg. Germany, Is famed throughout the world as a toy center. “It must not be supposed, however, that little girls will have to go without dolls this year. Several manufacturers In the United States are turning out dolls by the thousands and they are of the very best type. One large factory In Philadelphia Is making, under special processes, a type of indestructable doll from hasswood. which Is a light and easily worked material and Is not likely to split or break. Those who have made a study of this manufacture In connec tion with the study of the wood using Industries of the state of Pennsylvania predict that dolts of the type made by this und other similar factories cun gain first place for America in this branch of manufacture. Thus, the new trade slogan, "Made In the U. S. A.," which is being taken up more extensively since the European war begun, will havo a dliect bearing in shifting the.renter of '■'ll manufacture from Europe to Amer ica. The following toys are now made In this country from American woods: Toy animals, blocks, bouts, cannon and forts, children’s chairs, circus sets, dolls, doll furniture, games, Christmas tree holders, swing jumpers, children's pianos, pastry sets, babies’ play yards, toy shooting galleries, hobby horses, pop guns, toy wagons, toy autos and wheelbarrows. Basswood Is the principal material for wooden toys and for wooden parts of metal toys. The basswood doll In partic ular Is unique and Ingenious. All parts of It are made of wood and are artisti cally .carved and enameled la color. It is difficult to tell that it is made ot wood when it Is finished. The various! parts of the body are Joined with steel j bands which not only give great flexi-1 bility and freedom of movement, but to gether with the wood make the doll prac tically indestructible. "Next to basswood, sugar maple, beech, birch and white pine are the principal woods used for toys, although elm, oak, chestnut, ash, yellow poplar and others enter into toy manufacture. Pennsyl vania, which stands first among the states in toy manufacture, alone uses the equivalent of nearly 6,500,000 ,.oard IIIIIIINIIinilHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIItlHIINII Don’t have an attack of “skid fever” every time your car runs onto a slippery wet or icy pavement.

PENNSYLVANIA RUBBER CO. ■UHlHMUmHMlimHI IIMmUlllllllllliNH feet of timber for toys, with a total value of $182,000 each year. The total amount of wood used annually In the United Stale* for toy manufacture Is nearly 29 million feet, and the principal toy manufacturing states, after Pennsyl vania, are in order Wisconsin, Maine, I Michigan, New York, Ohio, Vermont, I Massachusetts and New Hampshire. • Basswood is the favorite for such toy* as toy animals, boats, dolls, circus sets and children’s pianos. Blocks and dolls’ furniture, and toy vehicles are generally made of white pine. Stick horses, with a horses'* head and a stick tt* ride upon, a more pretentious variation of the old fashioned broom horse, are likely to he made of white pine, although the stick head may be made of different material. Hocking horses are usually made of white ash. “This It may be seen that the United States has a good start in the toy indus try, and with such a. start and with the European toy production demoralized, there is said to be every reason to ex pect that It will go forward under a new impetus.’’ SELMA | Selma.
