Parsons* Have Catarrh of Kidneys, Or Catarrh of Bladdar and Don't Know It. President Newhof and War Correspondent Richards Were Promptly Cared By Pe-ru-na. Mr. C. B. Newhof, 10 Delamare street, Albany, N. Y., President Montefiore Club, writes: '" "Since my advanced age I Had, that I have been frequently troubled with Urinary ailments. The bladder seemed irritated, and my physician said that it Was catarrh caused by a protracted Wold which would be difficult to over­ come on account of my advance# years. $ took Peruna, hardly daring to believe that I would be helped, but I found to tny relief that f soon began to mend. The Irritation gradually subsided and the urinary difficulties passed atvmy. i have enjnyedsxcsllsst health «sw/or the past seven months.

Suffered From Catarrh of Kidneys, Threatened With Nervous Collapse, Cured by Pe-ru-na. Mr. F. B. Richards, 609 E. Street, N. ~W., Washington, D. C., War Corres- r" indent, writes: "Exactly (six years ago was ordered to Cuba as staff eorres- ,jondent of the New "York Sun. I was in tjharge of a Sun Dispatch boat through the Spanish American war. The effect <|f the tropical climate and the nervous •train showed plainly on my return to . the states. Lassitude, depression to the •erge of melancholia, and incessant kidney trouble made me practically an invalid. This undesirable condition continued,despite the best of treatment* Finally a brother newspaper man, who like myself had served in the war, in­ duced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna. I did so. In a short time the lassitude left me, my kidneys resumed a healthy condition, and a complete cure was effected. I cannot too strong­ ly recommed Peruna to those suffering with kidney trouble. To-day I am able to work as hard as at any time in my life, and the examiner for a leading in­ surance company pronounced me an "A" risk." In Poor Health Over Four Yeart. Pe-ru-na Only Remedy of Real Benefit. . Mr. John Nimmo, 215 Lippincott, St., Toronto, Can., a prominent merchant of that city, and also a member of the Masonic order, writes: "I have been in podr health generally for over four years. When I caught a bad cold last winter it settled in the bladder and kidneys, causing serious trouble. I took two greatly advertised kidney remedies without getting the <&*>V PRES. C. 5. NEWHOF, Suffered From Catarrh of Bladdar. desired results. Peruna is the only remedy which was really of any benefit to me. I have not had a trace of kidney trouble nor a cold in my system." Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. . One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir­ ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro­ duce temporary results. It is perman­ ent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be pos­ sible if Peruna contained any drugs of i a narcotic nature.

Commissioner Garfield Fails to Find Proof of Existence of Beef Trust DECLARES PROFITS ARE SMALL Make Less Than 2 Per Cent on Tata I Sales, Although Six Leading Con corns Slaughter 45 Par Cent of Cattle. FROM MISERY TO HEALTH. A Prominent Club Woman, of Kansas , City, Writes to Thank Doan's Kid­ ney Pills for a Quick Cure 32 YEARS SELLING DIRECT We are the largest manufacturers of vehicles and harness in the world sell­ ing to consumers exclusively. We Have No Agents Chicago dispatch: Commissioner Garfield's report on the dressed meat iiidustry, which was transmitted to congress by President Roosevelt Fri­ day, will not interfere with the grand jury investigation into the operations of the packers, to commence in Chi­ cago March 20, according to Assistant United States District Attorney Charles B. Morrison. Mr. Garfield, as commissioner of corporations, reports the result of his inquiries into the business of Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., the National Packing Company, tne SchwarzschUd & Sulzberger Com­ pany and the Cudahy Packing Com­ pany. He says these six concerns in 1903 slaughtered about 45 per cent of the total indicated slaughter in the United States; that for three of the companies in 2903 the average net profit was 99 cents per head; that the year 1902 instead of being one of exorbitant profits was less profitable than usual; that during the months when prices of beef were the highest some at least of the leading packers were actually losing money on every head slaughtered. Profit* Are Modest. The report declares that the Changes in the margin between prices of cattle and beef are in themselves no indication of the changes in profits. Mr. Garfield, after reviewing prices and conditions for 1902, 1903 and 1904, concludes that the six companies above named apparently are not overcapitalized and the percentage of profit on the gross volume of'business is comparatively small. He finds that in 1902, 1903 and 1904 the profits of Swift & Co. did not exceed 2 per cent of the total sales. Private Car Llneo Pay. Private car lines are shown to be sources of profit, a net return of 14 to 17 per cent being indicated, but Mr. Garfield adds that computed on a b&sis of the dressed beef transported this profit would increase but little the price of meat to the consumer. While the six concerns named slaughtered but, 45 per cent of the total cattle killed in 1903, it is shown that they slaughtered nearly 98 pei cent of all the cattle killed in eight ctief western packing centers, that they furnish New York about 75 pei cent of the beef it consumes, Boston more than 85 per cent, Philadelphia about 60 per cent, Pittsburg more than 60 per cent and Baltimore 5C per cent. Commissioner Garfield Reports hit inability to find any general inter ownership of stock* among the six con­ cerns which he specially discusses and avers that there is lively com* petition among them for business. Report in Brief. Commissioner Garfield's report summarized in the following: Existence of a "beef trust" Is do nied. Packers' profits less than 2 per cent of total sales. Six leading packing concerni slaughter but 45 per cent of tota' number of cattle killed in the United States. Private car lines found to be profit able, but net returns of 14 to 22 pei cent up from this source do not greatly increase price of beef to con sumer. Six btg packing concerns slaughtei nearly 98 per cent of beef killed it chief packing centers of west, 75 pei cent in New York, 85 per cent is Philadelphia and about 60 per cenl in other eastern cities.. Keen competition among great packing concerns for business. Miss Nellie Davis, of 1216 Michigan Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., society leader and club woman, writes: "I cannot say too much in praise of D o a n ' s K i d n e y Pills, for they effected a com­ plete cure la&. a very short time when I was suffering from kidney troubles brought on by a cold. I had severe pains in the back and sick headaches, and felt miserable all over. A few boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills made me a well woman, without an ache or pain, and I feel compelled to recommend this reliable remedy." (Signed) Nellie Davis.

Bachelors and Spinsters: The piratical bachelor is a more dangerous as well as a more popular variety. He careers through life for a time as if "buds" were produced for hib exclusive but momentary delecta­ tion. His downfall is merely a mat­ ter of years and he is snatched out of the ranks or is caught, Clipped and turned loose so expeditiously that -his reputation as a conqueror is smashed and he joins the soured brigade. The common or garden variety of bachelor is pie most numerous. There are bacfteiors who were born to remain as such and there are others who, appar­ ently from no fault of their own, are unable to become benedicts. But, as a class, bachelors are not more deserv­ ing of censure than spinsters, though these, of course, are entitled to more consideration.--Washington Post. YELLOW CRUST ON BABY Would Crack Open and Scab Causing Terrible Itching--Cured by - Cuticura. "Our baby had a yellbw crust on his head which 1 could not keep away. When I thought I had succeeded in getting his head clear, it would start again by the crown of his head, crack and scale, and cause terrible itching. I then got Cuticura Soap and Oint­ ment, washing the scalp with the soap and then applying the Ointment. A few treatments made a complete cure. I have advised a number of mothers to use Cuticura, when I have been asked about the same ailment of their babies. Mrs. John Boyce, Pine Bush, N. Y."

Of all the diseases known, with which \Vomen ire afflicted, kidney dis­ ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. " Being fully aware of this. Mrs. Pink­ ham early in her career, gave exhaust­ ive study to the subject, and in pro­ ducing her great remedy for woman's ills--Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound--was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har­ mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. pinkham's Vege­ table Compound is the only one espe­ cially prepared for women, and thou­ sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col­ ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un­ usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid­ neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound, the woman's remedy for wo­ man's ills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Lvdla E. Plakham's Vegetable C--pomwl i a Wi Mrs. Samuel Fraka, oi ProicpMt Plains, N. J., writes: * , ' Dear Tkfrs. Pfnkhttm:-- I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E.

My back ached dreadfullv ail the time, and X suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I could hardly walk across the room. I did no* get any better, so decided to stop doctoring with mv physician and take Lyaia E. Pink­ ham's Vegetable Compound and I am thank­ ful to say it has entirely cured me. I do all mv own work, have no more backa<-he anA all the bad symptoms have disappeared. I cannot praise your medicine enough* and would advise all women suffering with lrfilmy trouble to try it. Mrs. J. W Lang; of 636 Third nue, New York, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-- 1 have been a great sufferer with tddmv trouble. My back ached all the time and 1 was discouraged. I heani that Lydia E.
