A quirky notice mixes a tale of a girl marrying a printer with plans to devote 85,900 to vine experiments for military use. It references various tonics and a household cure brand, urging readers to care for digestion and bowels while dodging imitations and stressing parental reverence.
The piece urges women to uphold grace and duty while sustaining vigor for family care. It argues modern weariness weakens society and advocates Pe-ru-na as a tonic to restore energy, balance, and moral strength in the home.
An advertisement touts Pe-ru-na as the one medicine women can rely on, claiming it cures catarrh everywhere and all related mucous membrane inflammations. It also advertises fall scholarships for the Fawn Barber College in Des Moines Iowa offering tools with each scholarship.
The article paints the Tientsin Pekin route along the Grand Canal and S shaped Ho Ho river area noting a broad shallow channel now blocked, extensive millet and truck gardens with year round harvests, and villages with mud brick houses and canal bridges. It highlights peasants, decapitated criminal heads as punishment symbols, and a Lang Fang walled city with a temple of tortures.
Earl of Rothes, young and titled owner of the ancient Scottish house, travels with his countess to fashionable eastern watering places. He rose from poverty after marriage when his father in law, a plush manufacturer, funded the restoration of his title and estate.
An Officer Under Age, First Lieutenant Hugh A Drum of the 25th infantry, now in the Philippines, is one of the youngest officers of his rank in the regular army. He is a son of Captain John Drum of the 10th infantry, killed in action at Santiago on July 1, 1898. Drum was born at Fort Brady Michigan on September 19 1879 and spent boyhood at army posts in Texas and New Mexico. The piece notes two other young officers appointed with him under similar circumstances. The Prince of Wales has been presented a sword once worn by General Cronje in the Boer War by a British officer.
