NEWS OF THE WEEK* 1
Most Important Happenings of the
Past Seven Days.
Real Self-Control.
To most people self-control means
the control of appearances and not the
control of realities. This is a radical
mistake, says a writer in Leslie’s Maga-
zine, and must be corrected if we are to
get a clear idea of self-control, and if
we are to make a fair start in acquiring
it as a permanent habit. If a man is
ugly to me, and I want to knock him
down, and refrain from doing so simply
because it would not appear well, and is
not the habit of the people about me.
my desire to knock him down is still
a part of myself, and I have not con-
trolled myself until I am absolutely free
from that interior desire. So long as l
am in hatred to another I am in bondage
to my hatred; and if, for the sake of ap-
pearances, I do not actor speak from it, 1
am none the less at its mercy, and it will
find an outlet wJierever it can do so
without debasing me in the eyes of other
men more willing than 1 am to be de-
based. My selfish desire to injure the
man I hate is counterbalanced by my
selfish desire to stand well in the eyes of
other men. There can bo no true self-
control so long as either form of selfish-
ness dominates my actions. The control
of appearances is merely outward re
pression, and a very common instance
of this may be observed in the effort to
control a laugh.
Too Much Reading.
The editor of Harper's Magazine, dis-
cussing the value of reading in the Jan-
uary issue, remarks: “Much read-
ing of even the best books with
out sympathetic comprehension leads
to mental and spiritual dissipa-
tion. The injurious effect of it upon
the very young is apparent, for, while
that is the period for generous nutrition,
It is through concentration or an almost
latent absorption, rather than through
' wide ranging of unstable and imma-
ture faculties, that capacity is deep-
ened. But in well-established and sup-
ple youth and in mature manhood much
reading should yield only rich benefits
and deep satisfactions. It is simply a
question of attitude. If the art of read-
ing is maintained, its range need have
no limit save that imposed by good
judgment. Even the diligent perusal of
sane journalism and of books for strict-
ly mental and moral uses, or with refer-
ence to equipment for a practical career,
need not unfit the mind for the high
uses of this fine art. It iB the busy
rather than the idle man who should be
able to make the most of his leisure,
and who should most ardently seek to
grow into the full stature of manhood
through devotion to the humanities.’’
How About Your BoyP
We chaperon our girls and carefully
guard them against unworthy boys, but
we leave the boy to choose for himself
his associates and his achievements.
Girls are naturally winsome, gentle,
companionable. They win their way
In homes and hearts. But the boy, noisy,
awkward, mischievous, is invited into
few homes and feels none too much at
home in his own. About the only door
that swings with sure welcome to the
boy, about the only chair that is shoved
near the fire especially for the boy. about
the only place where he is sure of cor-
dial greeting—is where he ought not to
go, says the Milwaukee Journal. It is
one of the hardest things in the world
to get hold of a boy—to get a sure grip
on him. He is hungry for companion-
ship and he will have it. You can’t
chain him away front it. He wants the
companionship of boys, and nothing
will take its place. If the rime of self-
ishness has so incased your heart that
the joys and hopes of your boy cannot
enter into it, the boy is to be pitied, but
so are you.
Intereatlnc Item* Gathered from All Fartt
of the World Condensed Into Small
Space for the Beneflt of
Oar Readers.
CoiiKreNNioiinl.

ritory town which had congral ulated

court has been stricken from the In-

peachment for the trial of Charles

of the 12 articles of impeachment

The report of’ commissioner of cor
porations Garfield has been submitted
to congress by the president. Mr.

over capitalized and that the profits

able, netting an average of 20 per cent
on the investment.

has been the headquarters of the con-
traband trade with the Russians.

guard action and is desperately trying
to get his army to Tie pass.
Dirty Currency.
Greasy, dirty and unsanitary paper
money constitutes one of the disagree-
able features of the American currency
system which the banks and the govern-
ment have made no very earnest effort
to reform. Perhaps, remarks the Phila-
delphia Ledger, the danger from bacteria
Is not so serious as some investigators
would have us believe, but many of the
notes of small denomination do become
disgustingly dirty, and the contrast be-
tween the general run of the American
notes and those, for instance, of the
Bank of England is sufficiently striking
to prove that something might be done
to improve conditions here. One effect
of the present condition of the paper
currency and of the lack of a postal cur-
rency system is the very large use of
postage stamps for minor business trans-
actions. This has grown to enormous
proportions, to the acute inconvenience
of many large mercantile concerns, and
will contribute to the increasing pres-
sure for a remedy.

Many Persons Have Catarrh of Kidneys,
Or Catarrh of Bladder and Don’t Know It.
President Newhof and War
Correspondent Richards Were
Promptly Cured By Pe-ru-na.
Mr. C. B. Newhof, 10 Delamare street.
Albany, N. Y., President Monteflore
Club, writes:
•• Since my advanced age I find that
I have been frequently troubled with
urinary ailments. The bladder seemed
Irritated, and my physician said that It
was catarrh caused by « protracted
cold which would be difficult to over-
come on account of my advanced years.
1 took Peruna, hardly daring to believe
that I would be helped, but I found to
my relief that I soon began to mend.
The Irritation gradually subsided and
the urinary difficulties passed away. I
have enjoyed excellent health now for
the past seven months. - / enjoy my
meals, sleep soundly, and am as well
as l was twenty years ago. I give all
praise to Peruna.”—C. B. Newhof.

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 Correspondent,
writes: “Exactly six years ago I was
ordered to Cuba as staff correspondent of
the New York Sun. I was in charge of a
Sun Dispatch boat through the Spanish
American War. The effect of the trop-
ical climate and the nervous strain
showed plainly on my return to the
states. Lassitude, depression to the
Verge 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 strongly
recommend 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 Years.
Pe-ru-na Only Remedy of Real Benefit.
Mr. John Nimmo, 215 Lippincott' St..
Toronto, Can., a prominent merchant of

“I have been in poor health generally
for over four years. When I caught a
bad cold last winter it settled in the
bladder and kidneys, causing series
trouble. I fook two greatly advertised

kidney remedies without getting the
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 per-
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe-
runa is perfectly harmless. It can be
used any length of time ;— Yt acquir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is permanent
in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes whe/e Peruna has
been used off and on forttwenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of q nar-
cotic nature. a
