Hon, W. G. Hunter, of North Caro-|f lina, well-known in Washington and throughout the Southern States, says of H Peruna that he regards it as the greatest | family medicine ever discovered. He does not hesitate to say that Peruna invigorates and gives fresh strength to mind and body, Buch testimonials as this ought to make Peruna popular, No advertising known to the arts of man, no commercial management could ever raise Peruna to such a high stand- ard of appreciation as the frank and un- qualified statements of such men, Peruna is an ideal household ARellable Remedy | "¢medy.

They “I am willing to state that Peruna, taken in the beginning, will cure the kind fs a bad cold. Peruna drives itout of doors, wards off catarrh, invigorates and gives fresh strength to mind and body. I give Peruna my unqualified endorsement.” Mr. G, W. Taylor, Clendenin, W.

Washington, Feby.—Mexico has beaten Gerat Britianin a race for precedence in the diplomatic corpse here. Enrique Creel, the new Mexi- can Ambassador, has reached Wash- ington ahead of James Bryce, the new British Ambassador. The rank of an Ambassador is based on precedence, and the one serving longest is the dean of the corps. It is an important position, as he acts as the adviser of the other diplomats and heads thecorps at all officlal functiuns. Mr. Bryce has not yet sailed from London, He must now go to the foot of the list of ambassadors.

Missouri ‘Prophet Has Unusual Success in '!Foretelling Na- ture of Each Season. Macon has a weather prophet whose forecasts seem to hit the bull’s-eye. In the latter part of Aug- ust, 1906, he made this statement, and files of the local papers verify {t: “This will be a fine year to sow wheat. But it must be in before the 20th of September; it will be useless to doany planting after that, We are going to have a mild winter, and that means a big whont yleld.”” This weather soothsayer’s name Is August T. Glahn, He fs about 55, and operates a 200 acre farm east of Macon, Such confidence have the farmers of Macon and Shelby coun- tles in Mr. Glahn’s forecasts that they planted many thousands of acres of wheat in excess of the nor- mal acreage. And eo far the weather has borne out Mr. Glahu’s predictions to the letter. The winter in these parts has been one of unusual mildness, with frequent springlike rains, The thermometer has rarely gone lower than twenty-five above aero, and has more often hovered about fifty. Mr. Glaho uses no wizard’s wand, no crystal globes, and no occult ald of any sort to tell a yeur ip advance what Uuele Sam's westher observer | will report. He csrrios with him a Mittle book, well-thumbed with the | passing years, and full of faterestlag }data compiled from sixty-six years back on down to date. Mr, Glalin’s father was the firet jhistorfuu. He took a uotlan that the weather came in eyeles, and his object wos to lara the extent of those cycles. After eleven years of close observation of his weather diary, he came to the concluston that theeensons repeated chemeelvea every decade; that each year in a de- cade hud a brand of weather peculiar to Iteelf Now and then, in @ long while, there wasa break—a cog slipped somewhere in the universe. But such things wore rare. The harmony of the years was as the assurance of the salvation to the juet. What happened in 185 was bound to hap- pen in 1855. There was no getting around it. The dairy wascontinued on until the Twentieth Century, the son taking up the work when the father passed into a land where the storms of life do not trouble. Now, the younger historian, getting well along in years, has, he claims, dem onstrated his father’s theory beyond any sort of doubt, and he fs giving his farmer friends the benefit of it. “The harvest of this year will be dry,” sald Mr. Glahn. ‘The sevens|Y have been almost uniformly dry since 1840, and are fine years for small grain. This year will be good for peaches, and also the year following. Including 1906, this will give us three good peach years in succession. The sevens and eights are always fine for this fruit. “But there is one ominous fight for us this year. There will be a visi- tation of locusts, which will last about six weeks. The locusts come every thirteen years without fall. The record shows that they were here in 1842, 1855, 1868, 1881 and 1894, That pute them due in 1907. Being forewarned, however, the farmer can turn his hogs and chick- ens into his orchards, and they will eat up the peste nearly as fast as they germinate. The locusts have never done near as much damage in this section as the grasshopper and are not to be dreaded as much. Unless in usually large numbers they will not eat emall grain. They devour the slender stalke of wheat, but don’t touch the stronger stalks. They will appear in the latter part ol May and disappear about the 1st of August. The hogs should. be turned into the orchards during April. The locusts make fine feed for hogs and chickens. They like them and thrive wonderfully on the insect. “Corn will do fairly well, but may . not be quite up to the average. Next September will be a little too dry for that grain. Wheat is the thing for the husbandman to stick to in 1907 it he has the right character of soil to develop it. The season is bound to do the rest.” Mothers whogive their children Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup invariably indorse it. Children like it becouse the taste is pleasant. Con- tains honey and tar.
