tration mail matter properly prepared
and offered by any one that meets
them while on duty, whether a patron
of the rural free delivery service or
not. Storekeepers on rural routes cus-
tomarily receive the mail matter of
their patrons, delivering it to them at
the first opportunity. Registered mail
has not been delivered in this manner
in the past, but it is now provided that
on the written orders which the ad-
dressees are required to leave for the
delivery of their mail to the storekeep-
er. registered mail also will be deliv-
ered. except such as is indorsed by the
senders "deliver to addressee only."

Geta More Than One Hundred Dollars
a Day in London.
A strong man has appeared In Lon-
don who, it is said, is tbe strongest
man the world has ever seen, as far
as all records go. He is drawing $750
a week and Is booked solid in London
for a year.
The strong man Is a Russian, twen-
ty-four years old, and five feet eight
inches in height, with a weight of 210
pounds, by name George Hacken-
schmldt. He can take two fifty-six-
pound dumbbells in either hand and
turn ten forward or backward somer-
saults. alighting each time in the
same place, covered by a handker-
chief. He can take a twenty-eight-
pound dumbbell In either band and
jump his height. In a wrestling match
with a heavyweight policeman in Lon-
don he lifted the officer bv the ankle
and held the squirming piece of hu-
manity at arm's length, bowed and
thus carried the man off the stage.
But what would one not expect to
hear about a man who has a normal
chest of fifty-four inches*
He is a monstrosity of muscle who
lifts a 350-pound dumbbell with com-
parative case and throws it from one
arm to the other. This young man
was educated for the priesthood and
speaks five languages.
Bathing the Baby.
Young mothers naturally feel anxloua
about the baby's bath. It is best to be-
gin at six weeks to put the little one in
water, first folding a soft towel In the
bottom of the basin. Use only Ivory
Soap, as many of the highly colored and
perfumed soaps are very injurious to the
tender skin of an Infant. E. R. Parker.

The Oldest Man in Anerica Attribute*
His Lone Lite and Good Health
to Pe-ru-sa.
Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county.
Texas, has attained the great age of 114
years. He is an ardent friend of 1'eruna
and speaks of it in the following terras.
Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world as
long as I have he ought to have found out
a great many things by experience. 1
think I have done so.
" One of the things 1 have found out to
my entire satisfaction
is the proper remedv
for ailments duo di-
rectly to the eflcctsof
the climate.
"For 114 years I
have withstood the
changeable climate of
the United States. During my long lite 1
have known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I
had always supposed these affections to bo
different diseases. For the last ten or
fiiteen years I have been reading Dr.
liaitman's Imoks and have learned from
them one thing in particular : That these
affections are the same and that tbey are
properly called catarrh.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy. Feruna,
I have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.
It has been my stand-by for many
years and I attribute my good health
and my extreme olJ age to this
remedy.
" It exactly meets all my requirements.
I have come to rely-upon it almost entirely
for the many little things for which I need
medicine. I believe it to be especially
valuable to old people, although I have no
doubt it is just as good for the young."
—Isaac Brock.
A New Man at 79.
Major Frank O'Mahoney, .West Side,
Hannibal, Mo., writes:
"I am professionally a newspaper cor-
respondent, now 79 years old. 1 have
watched the growing power of the Feruna
plant from its incipiency in the little log
cabin, through its gradationsof success up
to iis present establishment in Columbus,
Ohio, and I conclude that merit brings its
full reward.
" Up to a few years ago I felt no need to
test its medicinal potency, but lately when
my system needed it, your Feruna relieved
me of many catarrhal troubles. Some two
years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but fell
away down to lbd pounds, and liesides loss
of flesh 1 was subject to stomach troubles,
indigestion, loss of appetite, insomnia,
night sweats, and a foreboding of getting
my entire system out of order. During
some months 1 gave Feruna a fair trial,
and it rejuvenated my whole system. 1 feel
thankful therefore, for although 79 years
old 1 feel like a young man."—Major Frank
O'Mahoney.
In old age the mucous membrane be-
; come thickened and partly lose their function
This leads to partial loss of IftMftag,
smell and taste, as well as digestive dis-
j turbances.
Feruna corrects all this by its specific
operation on all the mucous membranes of
the body.
One bottle will convince any one. Once
used and Feruna l>ecomesa life-long stand-
by with old and young. "
Mr. Samuel Saundeni of Blythedale,
Mo., writes : "My disease was catarrh of
the urethra and bladder. 1 got a bottle of
Fe-iu na and l^egnn taking it. and in a few
days I was relieved and could sleep and
rest all ni;ht. I think that Pe-ru-na is a
valuable remedv. I had tried other very . t
highly recommended medicines, but iheyy
did me no g.nxL My physician told me / H0
that I could not expect to be cured of my 'j/lm
trouble, as I was getting to be an old man /
(57 years). I leel very thankful for what'
Pe-ru-na has done for me.
In a later letter Mr. Saunders says: ;
" I am still of the same nnnd with regard
to yjur 1 o-. u uu medicine. "
