David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State, but through­ out America. He began his political /career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party In bis section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states­ man. Catarrh with its insidious ap­ proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: "I have used several bottles of Pe- ru-na and feel greatly benefited there­ by from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be able to folly eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing. Yours truly, "David Meekison." Many people can tolerate slight ca­ tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness, a slight cough, a cold in the head, or a trifling derangement of the digestive organs, do not much disturb the aver­ age person in his business. But this is not true of the public speaker or stage artist. His voice must always be clear. Miss Carrie Thomas » a' My' 1 - lungs perfect, digestion undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Pe-ru-na among the leading actors and actresses of this country. They have come to regard Pe-ru-na as indispensable to their success. Their profession is so exacting that it re- quires perfect health In every particular. They regard Pe-ru-na as their friend and safeguard. Many letters are received from this class of people. Miss Car­ rie Thomas, in speaking of Pe-ru-na, says: "I have used Pe-ru-na with splen­ did results. Would not be without it. No money would hire me to have a settled cold or chronic cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing that could happen to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is my shield and protector against this most undesirable disease." --Carrie Thomas. If you do not derive prompt and sat* lsfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you bis valuable advice gratis.

An alleged recent contention be­ tween Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Dewey tor precedence at official functions In Washington, D. C., recalls the follow­ ing: Once upon a time there was a western senator whose wife thought very lightly on these subjects. Being in Washington for a good time, she resolved to have it without bothering about precedence. She gave a dinner on one occasion, and when it was time to get her guests from the drawing room into the dining room she said: "There's some precedence about all this, but I don't know what it Is. Just shoo out to dinner, every one of you, and sit down anywhere you please."-- Army and Navy Journal. ^ > Stats or Ohio, Citt orToisno, ,• LVCAS COtJHTT, >- Frank J.

It is the first of the organs of respiration, and unless well performed the The nostrils axe not open cavities with smooth walls through which the air passes in and out, as it would through a rubber tube. They are divided into several compartments by bony projec­ tions covered with mucous membrane, and the volume of air In entering is broken up into several streams, so that all of it comes in contact with the lining membrane. This warm and catches the dust and and warms the air so that it will do no harm when coming in contact with the more delicate mem­ brane in the bronchial tubes and lungs. When the nose Is stopped up from any cause one must breathe through the mouth and if this is continued for any length of time the general health will inevitably suffer. The mouth itself loses its moisture and becomes in­ flamed. The sir is neither warmer nor purified, and it irritates the lining .membrane of the air passages all the way down to the lungs, so that a con­ dition of sluggish inflammation is ex­ cited. But the general effects are more serious than the local. One who is a mouth-breather never gets enough air. During the day he suffers less in this respect, for the nerve centers are more active and force the respiratory mus­ cles to act more energetically; but at night this vigilance is relaxed, the amount of inspired air is greatly re­ duced and all the tissues suffer for want of oxygen. For this reason the mouth-breather always feels tired and out of sorts in the morning. The mind suffers as well as the body and mouth- breathing children are almost always backward in their studies. A child who always breathes with open mouth snd whose #voice has a nasal twang, should be examined and treated at the earliest possible moment, for the long­ er the trouble exists the worse it is tor the child mentally, morally, and physically. *4'#? ^ ENOLANP'8 SEALS.-"^*' Hnk Formality Accompulta Saattay Documents In British tapln. The great seal of England, the spe­ cific emblem of sovereignty, is append­ ed only to the most important ria»# of public documents, such as writs for summoning parliament, treaties and official acts of state. A new one it made for each new sovereign (or on occasion of a change of arms or style), the old one being solemnly broken. The lord chancellor is the custodian of the great seal. The privy seal is the seal appended to grants which are aft­ erwards to pass the great seal, and to documents of minor importance which do not require the great seal. The offi­ cer who has the custody of the privy seal was at one time called the keeper, but is now known as the lord privy seal. Under the Norman monarchs of England sealing became a legal for­ mality necessary to the authentication of a deed, and from the thirteenth cen­ tury onwards the seals of all persons of noble or gentle birth represented their armorial ensigns. The seal was generally appended to the document by passing a strip of parchment or cord through a slit in the lower edge, and the ends- being held together, the wax was pressed or molded round thelh short distance from the extremity, and the matrix impressed on it. Occasion­ ally the seal was not pendent, but the wax was spread on the deed. The col­ ored wax with the impression was sometimes imbedded in a mass of white wax, forming a protective (border to it. In England a seal is still an essential to all legal instruments by which real estate is conveyed; but since subscrip­ tion has also become necessary the practice of sealing has degenerated into a mere formality. The custom was gradually introduced of covering the wax with white paper, on which the impression was made, and latterly wa fers have been considered sufficient substitute for seals. Of course this does not apply to the great and privy seals, mentioned above, which are still attached to all state document* FINDERS OP AMERICA? Baddhlst priest Seaoda Trias to M Colaaahas of His Uaril*. The Rev. Shuye Sononda, Buddhist priest of Japan, has returned to San Francisco from Mexico, with what he regards as convincing proof that his people discovered America 1,000 years before Columbus and carried their faith along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Mexico. Sonoda has been assisted by Senor Batres, archaeolo­ gist of the Mexican government, says a special dispatch to the Chicago Rec­ ord. Sonoda followed the chronicles of Hoeirshin, a Buddhist monk, who, in 499 A. D.. returned to his native land with an account of explorations that reached to a land he called Fu Sans, now identified with Mexico because of the maguey plant. Sonoda found in­ numerable evidences of Buddhist influ­ ence over the natives of Mexico. Some of these were the Mexican zodiac, with its twenty-eight hours, Buddha Zaca, Oriental letterings and signs on tem­ ples, stones, images and pottery, and hundreds of names which are slightly corrupted from the Japanese. The temples be found invariably facing south, as in Tibet, the home of Bud­ dhism, and in the mosaics at Uitla he found the common cross of Tibet. He also found strong racial resemblances in features between the Mexican and California mission Indians and the Ja­ panese. So strong were these resem­ blances in features that when a Cali­ fornia mission Indian was dressed in Japanese costume and photographed, Prof. John Fyer of the chair of Orien­ tal languages, University of California, declared the photograph was of a Ja- panes" of the northern islands and bore no resemblance to the California In­ dian.
