WHAT IS PERU -NA?
s It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or Is It Both?
Borne people call Parana a great
tonic Otheri refer to Parana at a
freat catarrh remedy.
Which of theee people are rightf
b it more proper to call Perana a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply it, that Perana is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectnal catarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy most not
only hare a specific action on the mu
oons membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, bat it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con
dition of some mucous membrane.
There mast be something to strength
en the circulation, "to gjve ton to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps, no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful effi
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Pe
rana which constitutes a specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COB
YD AL1S FORMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Perana is beyond criticism. The
use of Perana, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this judgment is not
over enthusiastic When practical ex
perience confirms a well-grounded the
ory the result is a truth that cannot be

A Trolley Hospital.
Milwaukee has a novelty In trolley
cars. It Is a hospital car which has
recently been put In service. The In
terior of the car Is fitted with
three leather upholstered permanent
stretchers. Hooks are placed In the
sides near the ceiling;, from which a
fourth stretcher may bo suspended.
At each end of the car are stationed
cabinets supplied with complete sur
gical outfits, consisting of all neces
sary Instruments as well as dressings
that might be called for in emergency
cases. The car is electrically heat
ed, and water in a two gallon tank
fed frpm a larger receptacle may be
heated'in the same manner. The car
Is not designed for city work, but In
outlaying districts first aid will be
directed on the ground, instead of
taking the sufferer to the city.
Magnetic Healing.
Dr. Wenzel. who is not a magnetic
healer, explained to mo in a thor
oughly practical way the secret of
the art. "The right hand of nearly
every persons Is positive," he said,
"while the left is negative. If your
child is 111, If It Is In a fever, a heal
thy perspiration will Invariably bring
Instant relief. Rut medicines will
often fall to produce thlB. Now,
place your right hand on the fore
head of the patient and your left
on the bottom of the foot, or feet,
and all the sweat glands will be op

electric circuit that causes this."

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Uso Without Cooking.
A GLIMPSE OF THE LARGEST FEDERAL
PRISON IN THE UNITED STATES.
By Mrs. C. R. IWI.I.I it.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results In a pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and If uot properly
digested, the raw mass goos down
Into the intestinal tract where gaB is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps tho body
well, while poor food, or even food of
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest In this
line is Grape-Nun, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some 12 to 16 hours be
ing consumed In the different pro
cesses of preparation. The food,
therofore, Ib ready for Instant ser
vice and the starch has been changed
to a form of Sugar, so that it Is pre
digested and ready for almost imme
diate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
he suffered for years from indiges
tion and dyspepsia from tho use of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
"I began using Grape-Nuts, and I
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the food, but I
have not known what Indigestion Is
since using It, and have never been
tronger or in better health. I have
Increased In weight from 109 to 124
pounds."
People can be well, practically
without cost, if they will adopt scien
tific food and leave off the Indigesti
ble sort. "There's a Itcason."
Grape-Nuts Food Is crisp and de
licious to tho taste. It should be
nrved exactly as It comes from the
package, without cooking, except In
cases where It is msde up into pud
dings and other desserts. Book of

At the Federal prfson at Leaven
worth, Kan., 965 prisoners are en
gaged In b.illdlng around and over
them the very prison In which they
will be confined. This Institution,
when completed, will be the largest
and best equipped Federal prison In
the country. It was begun In 1898,
and will probably not be finished for
several years. It has a frontage of
800 feet, with a depth of 900 feet In
the rear. The wall which surrounds
the buildings and Incloses sixteen and
one-half acres will bo thirty-one feet
In height. The entire reservation In
cludes 740 acres, 160 under cultiva
tion, and an equal amount. In pastur
age, the rest being Rtlll covered with
timber. The prisoners are white, col
ored, Indian nnd Japanese. Twenty
four are military prisoners, while the
others are offenders against the civil
lair The majority of the Indians
came from Ipdlan Territory, and their
crimes are tho result of too milcnbad
whisky. The Mexicans are being pun
ished for smuggling one of them, a
shoemaker, having sent in several
hundred dollars' worth Of Mexican
opals hidden In the linings of shoes.
The two Japaneso wore caught seal
poaching off St. George's Island last
year. One hundred and three are
serving life sentences. One hundred
and thirty-four are "trusties," en
titled to wear the blue uniform and
white numbers and allowed more
freedom In their movements In the
prison. Gray is the regulation uni
form of the Federal prisoner, and
stripes aro worn only by refractory
men as a punishment for habitual dis
obedience to tho rules. No women
are sent to Leavenworth.
The prison Is like a model town,
and In time the officers expect
make It Bclf-supporting. Uncle Sam
is economical, and as far as possible
the prisoners are made to earn their
food and clothing. In many of the
State prisons the Inmates are allowed
to work overtime, for which they are
paid, the money being held for them
until the time of their release. A
Federal prisoner receives no pay for
his work at any time, those In author
ity thinking that the plan works un
fairly, as some of the prisoners would
be In a position to make more money
than the others, and the Federal Gov
ernment's aim Is to treat all men
alike. When a man Is released he
is given transportation to the town
from which he came, $5 In money,
a new suit of clothes, hat and shoes.
If he Is released in winter an overcoat
is added.
The Indian.-, are usually model pris
oners and are excellent workmen.
They have little to say, and in almost
every instance are obedient. The In
dian has a sensitive nature, and as a
result of It or, rather, the inability
to practice self-restraint under strong
provocation some Carlisle graduates
have landed in this prison. At the
close of their school days they re
turned to their tribes, and were shown
little consideration by the older men.
Education had equipped them for a
new and more useful life and then
failed to provide a proper place for
Its development. The grief and mor
tification resulting from this condi
tion Boon led to drink, and crime was
the result. A number of these In
dians aro engaged In dressing the
stone which is to ornament the front
of the building. They are known by
such names as Wash Beaver, Crazy
Snake, Fanowaskr Tiger, Handy Bear,
Amos Rabbit, Tiger Tom, John Run
about, Brown-Takes-the-Gun, Fred
Charging Eagle, John Hogklller and
Willie Little Head. Many of them re
ceive letters from home, and one man
has a regular correspondence with his
sweetheart, who rejoices In the name
of Lucy Standing Goose.
Tho two Japanese, who speak littlo
English, are engaged In the tailor
Bhop. As far as possible everything
needed in the prison is the handiwork
of the inmates, and the shops in
which these articles aro manufac
tured are Interesting in many re
spects. The men are usually proud
of their work, and frequently ask the
foreman whether he thinks them ca
pable of earning an honest living on
the outside. In several Instances re
leased prisoners have obtained work
on the recommendation of tho war
den, and It Is not uncommon for dis
charged prisoners to ask for letters
as to their ability as workmen.
In one of tho shops I was shown
some remarkably well-made shoes.
This place Is busy, as the keeping of
nearly a thousand men in footwear is
no small item. In tho next aisle a
number of prisoners were making
harnesB for the horses which were
doing tho hauling. The tailor shop,
which is equipped with electric irons
for pressing and electric sewing ma
chines, turns out all the clothing used
by the prisoners, as well as the neat
uniforms worn by the officers. Old
clothing aud carpets are cup up and
woven Into rugs to be used In differ
ent parts of the building. All the
brooms and scrubblug brushes, mops,
etc., needed are the work of a few
prisoners, and In this department a
slender young man wearing a
"trusty" uniform silently handed out
one bruBh after another for my in
spection, and as I had a word of
praise for each article of his work
manship a faint smile lighted up the
pale face, and a timid bow of thanks
was his only response. In the tin
shop ill men were turning out buck
ets, while In the carpenter shop they
were repairing furniture.
Outside the building others wore
grading, mixing cement, ,indi making
bricks for tho new building. Colored
prisoners '.were hauling stone from
the cars, as the building material Is
shipped from Arkansas. Guards
wero on every hand, but there was no
rushing and no harsh words. The
men worked steadily, and many of
them were laughing as they worked.
When I asked If plans for escape
might net be hatched by their Inti
macy with each other, the guard said
that If two men were found especially
friendly they wore separated, or if
two men showed antipathy for each
other they were kept apart.
The laundry was like one attached
to a big hotel, and hero William Jan
uary, whose case recently attracted
so much attention and who was re
leased on July 17, was at work. The
kitchen has a floor space of 7000
square feet, and Is equipped with an
electric bread mixer and electric
ovens. Among the men who help In
this kitchen are thirty-two life prison
ers. Oeorge C. Buchanan Is the stew
ard, and his office between the pantry,
bakery and kitchen proper Is enclosed
In glass. By this arrangement he
may look Into any of the departments
at any time without leaving his desk.
Tho menu, while not elaborate. Is
composed of substantial food, well
cooked, and served in far better style
than the meals In a cheap boarding
honse. The breakfast on the day of
my viRlt consisted of oatmeal, .butter,
bread and coffee. At dinner roast
pork, gravy, potatoes, rolls and water
were served, while a supper of buns
and coffee completed the day's meals.
On that day 800 pounds of pork,
160 pounds of rolled oats, and 100
pounds of sugar were consumed. The
average cost per man for that day's
food was a trifle over twelve cents.
The average day's rations cost eleven
cents per man. Many of the vegeta
bles used are grown in the prison gar
den, and last year eighty tons of cab
bage were raised. Some of this crop
was made Into sauerkraut, and seventy-five
barrels were used at tho pris
oners' table. About 375 bushels of
peaches wero gathered from the
orchard and "put up" In the prison
cannery, and the snmc amount of to
matoes was canned for table use.
Food supplies, such as coffee, tea,
sugar, flour, meats, etc., are pur
chased quarterly. This Is done by
samples, the name of the firm being
unknown at tho time the selection Is
made. A complete cold storage and
Ice plant Is maintained In connection
with the kitchen. Condensing plpen
carry the vapor away, and the usual
smells found In the culinary depart
ments of large Institutions are en
tirely absent. The floors aro scrubbed
daily, and the dirty water swept Into
an outlet which runs into the sewer.
Church and Sunday-school services
are held on each Sunday morning,
and the afternoon Is generally spent
In reading. There Is a library of
8000 volumes, and ten per cent, of
the prisoners nre reading scientific
and technical books, thus showing
that they are preparing themselves
for some useful and lucrative em
ployment after their release. Books
on electricity seem to be the most
popular. A printing office is main
tained, and here all the prison print
ing, Including the reports upon the
workings of the institution, is done.
A man confined at Leavenworth
will not lose his health from lack of
ventilation or sanitary arrangements,
as special cara has been taken In this
line, and the cells are models of san
itation. There Is a complete hospital
and an isolation ward for use in case
of an epidemic.
Some of (he prisoners are good mu
sicians, and an orchestra has been
organized, which frequently plays on
Sunday in the little gallery during
the dinner hour. Baseball and racing
are recreations In which well-behaved
prisoners may indulge occasionally.
The mere fact In being able to take
part In games is an Incentive for some
of the prisoners to obey the rules.
Several of the men are expert In
wood-carving, nnd the large wooden
eagle the emblem of the Depart
ment of Justice, which is on exhibi
tion at the Jamestown Exposition
was carved by a prisoner at Leaven
worth. Another Is an artist, and has
decorated tho sates throughout the
buildings with beautiful marine
views, and also lettered the doors of
the different departments lr. gold.
The story of tho downfall of this
young man if true serves to show
how easily one may go wrong. He
was n struggling artist, and was
called upon to paint a picture in
which a $20 noto was the central
figure. A $2 bill was the nearest ap
proach he could afford as a model, so
he raised the two to a twenty, and
did It so skillfully that ho almost de
ceived himself. After the picture was
finished he carried the raised note
in his pocket, until one day by mls
tako he gave it In payment for some
article at a shop. On receiving the
change, ho failed to correct the mis
lake, fearing arrest. For several
days he hourly expected to be arrest
ed, but the counterfeit was not de
tected. Later he began to raise notes
for his own amusement, and finally
It became a business, until one day
he was discovered. Conviction soon
followed with a sentence to the Leav
en w firth penitentiary.
In 1901 there was a mutiny and
a number of prisoners escaped after
killing one guard and injuring sev
eral others. Nearly all of them wero
recaptured, and to avoid a repetition
of this a fort-like watch-tower has
been built, from which guns may bo
used in any direction without the men
behind them being in danger. The
gates are all carefully guarded, and
every wagon passing through them,
cither empty or loaded. Is thoroughly
examined by the guards to see tint
no person is concealed therein.
The warden Is Major R. w. Mc
Claughry, an officer who served with
distinction during, the Civil War.
Shortly after Its close he became In
terested In prison work, and since
that time has served In the capacity
of warden at several prisons. He was
also Chief of Police of Chicago for
over two years. His wardenshlp at
Leavenworth has already extended
over a period of eight years. He has
traveled extensively through Europe,
studying prison conditions, and In
1895 went to England by special in
vitation to inspect English prisons.
Although a strict disciplinarian.
Major McClaughry has a kind and
sympathetic nature, and is always
ready to, help a prisoner oil the right
road. He insists on punctuality, and
Is himself a bard worker, u was my
pleasure to take luncheon at his de
lightful home on the prison grounds,
and the bright-faced young man who
waited on us at the tabla was a
"trusty" from the prison. Later In
the day another " trusty" hitched up
the team and took the warden's fam
ily for a drive around the country.

Springfield, Mass. Twenty West Springfield boarding-house mis
tresses met at the home of Mrs. Charles Clark. Jr., and voted to form a
Boarding-house Union. A score of boarding-house proprietors who were
unable to be present sent word that they would stand by any action taken
by the meeting.
The union decided to raise the price of board from $u to ?C a week
and to put tho new rate Into effect at once.
One of the chief causes of dissatisfaction was the full dinner pall. It
was asserted that railroad men who carried their dinners provided them
selves with pails as large as wash-boilers and expected the boarding-house
mistresses to All them with "lunch." It was explained that the medium
sized palls held two quarts of coffee, eight or nine sandwiches, half a pound
of cheese and six doughnuts, und that failure to Include two pieces of pie
was considered Justification for prolonged grumbling. One of the women
declared that the late Mark Hanna was to blame for promising the men
"a full dinner pall." A long-faced landlady of Republican tendencies, said
Senator Hanna merely meant enough to eat and not a wheelbarrow load.
One boarding-house in I stress suggested that u special rate should be
made for school teachers.
"A school tearhcr'B appetite Is as good as anyone's else and they are
more bother than two men," was the prompt reply of a maiden lady.
It was voted unanimously not to make an exception in favor of school
teachers.
As practically all the boarding-houses In West Springfield are included
In the movement, the boarders have the alternative of payiug $1 a week
more or of moving out of town.

SUICIDES OF CHILDREN CAUSE WORRY IN GERMANY
Frequency of Self-Destruction Among the
School Boys and Girls Alarms.
Berlin. The frequency of suicides among school boys and girls Is at
tracting much attention In Germany. The Prussian Ministry of Education
has recently ordered that a thorough Investigation of the matter bo under
taken, with a view to find causes and remedies.
Statistics of such suicides show that in the twenty-one years, 1S83
1903, there were 112.". suicides of pupils of tho gymnasiums and common
schools, making an average of nearly fifty-four per annum. By far the
greater number of suicides wero of children under fifteen years old, the
average yearly number for these alone ulmiiBt reaching forty-two. Less
than one-fifth of these were glrU.
The greater frequency of suicides below fifteen years, however, was
due wholly to the fact that the pupils below thnt age so far outnumber
those above. Ab a matter of fact suicides above fifteen years are four times
moro frequent reckoned ua a percentage of the total number of pupils
than below that age.
The official statistics do not give the catiBos of the suicides Except. In
2S4 cases The causes stated for the low,er schools were fear of punish
ment, mental derangement and harsh treatment by parents, relatives or
teachers. In the higher schools the causes were dread of examinations,
wounded self-eKtecm, mentHl derangement, fear of punishment, love attain
and melancholia.
Not less than twenty-eight per cent, of the suicides were of children
whose parents wero epileptics, drunkard); or mentally unsound. In more
than forty-eight per cent, of the cases It was found that the character
peculiarities of the children rendered it difficult for them to accommodate
themselves to the rules and regulations of the schools.
One group of these embraced pupils whose mental capacities did not
fit them for the school work or for the profession for which they had
chosen to prepare themselves.
Another group contained those who wore led astray through moral
defects, through love affairs or through premature addiction to drink.
He Introduced Himself.
The Chief Game Warden of Col
orado was walking out In the moun
tains recently, when he met a hunter
with his gun. The official suggested
that that ought to be a good country
for hunting.
"It certainly Is," said the hunter,
proudly. "I killed one of tho finest
bucks yesterday I ever saw, and he
weighed more than 200 poilnds."
It was the season when deer may
not be shot without subjecting tho
hunter to a heavy line.
"Well, that is a fine one," said the
warden, "and do you know who you
are talking to?"
Being assured that he did not, the
official Bald:
"Why, I am the Chief Game War
den of Colorado."
The hunter was only taken back
n moment, when he said:
"And do you know who you are
telklng to?"
The warden did not know.
"Well, sir," said the hunter, ap
parently much relieved, "you are
talking to the biggest Mar In the
whole-State of Colorado."

London. "Stocks are low," said Lord Rothschild, head of the famous
banking house. In an Interview, "because Governments till over the world
are hitting at capital."
Lord RothBchlld demurred at the suggestion that the condition of the
money market Is due to a boom In trade, which leaves little cash free for
investment. He referred to the Socialistic denunciations of capital and to
various questions, such as old ago pensions, the Scottish land tenure
projects, and the projected licensing bill, as having an unsettling influence
on the British money market, and In reply to a suggestion that the trouble
was not particularly British, but was International, said:
"Of course, President Roosevelt's speeches against the conduct of the
American railways are greatly diaturblng that market. Wo must all admit
that the manipulation of railroad stock In tho United State3 has uot always
been quite 'what it should have been, but this does not detract from tho
serious character of the President's campaign. It Is difficult, nay, almost
Impossible, as things stand, for us to furnish from this country fresh cap

"Speaking generally, would you say that the prices of leading secur

"Ah," replied Lord Rothschild, as he shook his hend, laughing, "it Ib
the true3t wisdom never to prophesy. I am told that investors In New
