h Noted Knight Templar Owes His Health to Pemna
J
s
Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known In every city in the United States west of Buffalo, N. Y., as a Jeweler's Auc-tioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a mem-ber of the K. T.'s and also of the Masons. The rut shows Colonel Moody In the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32d degree.
In a recent letter from 6900 Michi-gan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following;
"For over twenty five years I Buttered from catarrh, and for over ten yean I guttered from catarrh of the etomach terribly.
" I have taken all kinds of medi-cines and have been treated ly all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware la different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but tbestlief was only temporary, until a title over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty yean.
» The soreness has loft my atom-ach entlnly and I am tree from Indigestion and dyspepsia and will aay to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put It off and suffer, tut begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be If you persevere."
"My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with n bad cough ajqd bronchial trouble, and doctora all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for hrr. She began taking Peruna with the re-sult that she is better now than sho has been In years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she 13 as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours .very truly, T. P. Moody.
Catarrh In its various forms Is rap-idly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discov-ered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of Its virtues, and arc making public utterances on tho sub-ject -To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that Is at oncc the most prevalent and stubborn of cure Is ca-tarrh.
If one were to make a list of the different names that have beon ap-plied to catarrh In different locatlona and organs, the result would be a«-

tonlshlng. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise caused by the first publication of It to all people, both professional and non-professional, was amusing. And yet we have never enumerated all of tho diseases which are c'assed as catarrh. It must be confessed, how-ever, to see even this partial list drawn up In battle array is rather appalling. If the reader desires to sse this list, together with a short exposition of each one, send for our free catarrh book. Address The Peruna Medlclno Co.. Columbus. Ohio.

POOR U T T L E JOHNNY I AND HIS "TUMMYWI Small boys, and many times large ones,
and occasionally girls, too, big and little, suffer terribly from convulsive pains or "cramps" in the bowels and stomach-pain so violent that it "doubles up" the ones attacked, and makes it impossible for them to stand up.
Some people call it colic, but most honest, plain-spoken people call it "bcIly-ache" and Tery properly, for the seat of the trouble is in the Dowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the bowels to rid themselves of something which doesn't belong there. T h e small boy usually eets it from overrating or from eating forbidden truh, and suffers mostly in the summer time.
I f s spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare for war." Let the boys and girls and the big folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged channels filled with winter bile and putrid undi-gested food, strengthen the 30-fcet of bowel canal, liven up the liver, and "summer belly-aches^ will have no terrors, because they won't is to use CASCARETS, gentle, sweet, trai t grant T h e w a y to make t h e body ache-proof

SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR YEARLY.
NOTES FROM THE EAST.
Pekin, N . Y., May<12, 1901. D e a r LEDGER: —
Leaving Lowell on the 7.57 Grand Trunk train Wednesday evening. May Htb, we passed through the tunnel at Port Huron and reached SuBpension bridge without incident at 7 o'clock next morning. A t day break we were pasfiing through a thr i f ty farming country, but a heavy fog prevented an extensive view. I noticed that a large number of the highways passed either over or under tho railroad track and was reminded that had such been the case in Mich< igan many tragedies that caused sad hearts and broken home circles might have been prevented.
The hotels at Niagara Fal ls seem to quite uniformly charge 60 cents for breakfast; bu t by dint of a little looking we found very respectable service at 25 cents, and the half-dollar saved on the deal will keep the baby in candy several days.
Af te r breakfast, we took the New York Central train for Sanborn where a friend was waiting to con-vey us to the vicinity of the county hamlet, Pekin.
Our fr iends live in a beautiful farming country, twelve miles from the Falls, the roar of which can be distinctly heard here when the wind is favorable. They are situated up-on what is known as the < (Ridge r o a d , " a natural highway which ex-tends from Lewiston to Rochester , some eighty miles. Lake Ontario is about six or seven miles north of here; but at a former period, possibly i ,000 years ago, the water covered this entire section of country, and ihe ridge was a sand bank in the lake. Two miles fur ther back is the "Mountain r idge," which at the period indicated was the bank of the lake; tho distance between the two r i d g e s varying from 2 miles to a few rods.
The country south of the Moun-tain Ridge aliounds in remains of a prehistoric race which occupied this land prior to the Indians, bu t none are found between the Ridge and the lake. Trees 500 years of age have been found growing over the mounds of these ancient inhabitants
and by them were remains of other trees that had lived an equal period and fallen to decay. Thus, the period of the prehistoric residents as well as that prior to the sub-sidence of the lake is safely fixed as at least 1000 years ago. How much more it may have been one can only conjecture.
The locality hereabouts full of historic interest. A cannon ball, which probably belonged to the war of 1812, was picked up on the ad-joining farm. TheTuscaroroIndians who belonged to the famous confed-eracy of Six Nations, which has survived for 400 years, have a reser-vation three or four miles distant. W e drove through it Saturday and it must be confessed that the Indians are not first rate farmers. W e mot two Indian women on the road. One was young and handsome but the other was old and homely enough to make her face ache. They seem quite shy and some of the girls scampered into thcir{for the most part)poor houses aud the men turned their backs on our approach.
To morrow we visit Lockport aud from there I expect to go to Boston to spend a few days with a sick brother, leaving the wife and baby with the good friends here.
Expect to return in t ime to take in the dedication day ceremonies of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, May 20tb, when there will be parades and band music, speeches, •alutes and kite flying galore. Vice President Roosevelt is to be among the speakers. I have curiosity to see big teeth an 1 hobby horse the cartoonist delights in, but do not expect to see " P a p a and Nursic."
My old home paper aud first love, the Almont Herald is at hand. It« editor is being pestered by people who want to discuss the tremenduoiis question " H a s a preacher a right tn hunt aud fish?" Mr. P ro says '•yes" and Mr. Con says " n o . " Mr. Con adds that hunting and fishing is brutal and that preachers ought to s e t a better exnmplc to their follow-ers. Pro intimates that Con should leave the preachers alone and go for the hunters who, he says, " take no interest whatever in the welfare of human race. ' ' I call that the re-mark of a natural born fool or else that of an old man in nis dotage. Think of our good Lowell people who delight in an occasional hunt-ing or fishing trip, many of our best and most substantial citizens and the magnitude of the libel becomes apparent. P r o adds still fur ther that " I f anyone is entitled to hun t and.fish or to have a glass of whiskey or do any other bad thing I say the
ministers are, and no person has a right to call them down for i t . "
In the fint place the minister or any one else has as much r igh t to shoot a squirrel or catch a fish for food as he has to cut off a chicken's head, no more, no less. I t is simply a question of the right to take the life of the lower animals for food or defense. Whi le tho world would go hungry if I had to do its butch-ering, still I believe that "man should not live by bread a lone;" but eat a little meat occassionally. As for the r ight to criticire ministers; Nine million people have been tortured aud killed for witches since the advent of Jesus Christ by people who professed to be religious teach-ers. If what P ro says is t rue, we must swallow it all aud call it good. The fact is that preachers have tho same r ight as ordinary mortals and that no person on (iod's grern earth whether prince, potentate or preach-er is above criticism. However, Con is perfectly right to demand that preachers shouhl set a good ex-ample to their fellows. Tho world has a right to expect it of them and unless their practice resembles their preaching, they bad liotter give up the latter. When Pro says that ministers have a right to do any bad thing and no one has any r ight to question it , I can only add that Almont needs a foolkiller.
If preachers who spend their en-tire lives in telling the rest of us what we must " d o to be saved" are to be permitted to do " a n y bad t h i n g , " without being told of it, may God help this poor old stumb-ling world. Yours as ever,

Nearly Everything Was lu Readiness for t h e Paa-Amerlcan.
The Pan-American Exposition was thrown open to the public on Wednesday, May 1. The Common Council of the city of Buffalo declared that day a civil holiday and the entire city turned in rec-ognition of this signal event which celcbrates the Centennial of the founding of the city and which is Ihe first great exposition to be de-voted exclusively to the interests of
an-America. A new booklet, just issued for
the Exposition, tells a very charm-ing story of its history and creation and describes tho beatuiful city in which the festival has been de-veloped and brought to coinpeltion. This booklet is embellished with many illustrations, including twelve olored plates of exposition build-
ings and views. These will be sent free lo applicants by the Bureau of Publicity so long as theediton lasts. All the principle buildings of the Exposition have been completed for some time. Tho installation of ex-hibits began many weeks ago and there was evciy reason to expect that the Exposition would have a sand-paper finish on tho first of May—a remarkable achievement, indeed, considaring the unfavorable weather and the history of other expositions in this regard. Some of the after-thoughts, such as State buildings, will not be done till about May 20, which is to be Dedication Day.
Everyone who haa visited the grounds of tho Pan-American Ex-position duriug the last few months has beeu astonished beyond ex-pression upon beholding the magni-tude and the exceptional beauty and novelty of the enterprise. It is rery much larger than people gener-ally have supposed, and it is appar-ent that the ^10,000,000 which is the approximate cost of the Exposi-tion as a whole, has been expended most wisely and with the happiest results. The particular novelty that is to bo noted in this Exposi-tion is discovered in the fact that in its exterior aspect it is a radical departure from expositions. The buildings aro arranged upon a har-monious and well developed plan, producing court settings and vistas of every charming character. The use of of molded staff work and decorative sculpture upon the build-ings and at all salient points within the courts, the l iben l employment of hydraulic aud fountain features, the floral and garden effects, the exquiMte colorings of buildings and architectural ornaments, and the illumination of the whole with more than 300,000 electric lamps, combine to make a picture of unsurpassed loveliness. The musical features are also of great importance and in-terest. The exhibit divisions are very complete and embrace the gamut of industrial, scientific and artistic activities of the people of Western Hemisphere. The Midway claimed to be the greatest in the world, has more than a mile of frontage. The restaurant features aro perfect and tho Exposition so far as human ingouuity aud the wise expenditure of money can accompliBh such a work, is complete to the last detail.
Buffalo, too, is and ideal city for exposition having a summer climate that is tempered by the breezes from Lake Erie aud, therefore, tho most comfortable in which one may en-joy his summer outing. The people of the city havo prepared themselves in a most ample way to entertain millions of guests during the Ex-position. The private dwellings throughout the city havo been thrown open to the public and, in view of the ample accommodations very moderate rates will prevail so that every visitor may have such accommodations as ho is willing to pay for. Ho may havo the palatial quarters of tho fine hotels, or the quiet restfulness of a pleasant homo. The average rate for accommodation near the Exposit ion grounds is about 11.00 per night for lodging, with 25c to 50c added for breakfast , being expected that guests will take their othe meals upon the Exposition grounds. A number of responsible companies have organized to find ac-commodations for visitors at any price they may desire to pay. Tho offices of these companies are central-ly located and this system of manage inent promiscs'to bring very satis factory results to all concerned
The Evangelists.
Revival services will begin next Sunday. Evangelists Messrs. Kerr and Johns will be present at the morning services and will have charge of the meeting. These gospel seekers are unusually fine singers and preachers. All are in-vited.
ConBregatlonal Chu rch Notes. A meeting of the Aid society was
held iu State bank parlors Tuesday afternoon.
T h e address of Mr. L. J . Post to tho boys last Sunday afternoon will not soon be forgotten. His subject was "Choosing my Life W o r k . " He spoke in a most inter-esting aud practical manner. A feature of tho meeting which was greatly enjoyed was the recita-tion by Miss Audio Post on "Break-
»ing Home Ties ." Mr. Flanagan had kindly loaned us for the occasion his beautiful engravingof the famous painting and Miss Post's reading touehed every heart. The special mtiKic by Edith and Ethel Stone was much apprceiated. We do not for-get the kindness of Mr. Townsond, the steadfast friend of the boys.
Next Sunday the meeting will be addressed by Mr. W. A. Watts, cashier of the City bank, on " W h a t I would do with my money if I were a boy again." Mr. Watts is sure to say something every boy should hear. There were present last Sun-day a large number of boys outside the Union. Let them como again. Mrs. II. A. Peckham will sing.
At the Boys' Union Outiug con-cert to be held in the opera house on Friday evening. May 24, Prof. D. E. Maseliis, the famous solo harpist, will be present and play. Certainly outside of the great cities there is no player who can get so much music out of this wonderful instru-ment as Mr. Maseliis. See the bills.
Mrs. E. R. Craw was elected dele-gate to the State association of the Congregational church at Charlotte to be held on the 21, 22 and 23 of this month.
Mr. Marshall will meet the Bible class at the home of Mrs. Dr. Mc-Dannell next Monday evening. On Tuesday afternoon and evening the meetings will be held in the Baptist church. These lessons iu the Bible will be of interest to every student of the word and of especial value to every teacher. All are invited.
