Catarrh and Stomach Trouble. Mrs. T. Freeh, R. R. No. Hickory Point, Tenn M writes: •— “lam happy to tell you that lam cured of catarrh. I have followed your good and kind advice faithfully. I bless the day when I wrote you of my condition, and I will always praise Peruna. I think it is one of the grandest medicines on earth. "Having been afflicted with catarrh and stomach trouble tor seven yearaand ‘r /? after having tried four different doctors they only relieved me for a little while. I gave up all hopeof being cured. I only weighed ISO pounds, and was so weak I could hardly get around the room. “I was induced to try Peruna, and to my great surprise I am now entirely well. My weight is now 188 pounds, my health never was better in my life. “I shall always praise Dr. Hartman >■ and his remedies.” Thousands of families have learned , the use of Peruna and its value in the treatment of catarrhal ailments.

( Tired, Worn-Out Mothers. ( Mrs. Lydia H. Josselyn, 501 Westminster St., Providence, I R. I.,is Treasurer of the Editors League of Rhode Island, charteredinProvidence.Shewrites: "My experience with Peruna

' has been most gratifying. Last winter I contracted a severe cold, and for several * days /coughed until my voice failed me. When other remedies did me no good, I decided to try Peruna, and within four days the cold was broken up, and the . cough abated. "Within another week an increase in my usual strength and vitality told me that Peruna was doing all that it promised,and more. I also consider it very superior for tired, worn-out mothers, and have advised several to try it, and have seen most gratifying results from its use. "I give it highest praise.” Bowel Trouble. Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1882 North St., Little Rock, Ark., writes; "I was troubled for five years with a ■chronic disease. I tried everything I beard of, but nothing did me any good. Some doctors said my trouble was catarrh of the bowels, and some said consumption of the bowels. "One doctor said he could cure me. I took his medicine two months. But it did me no good. e "A friend of mine advised me to try Peruna and I did so. After I had taken two bottles I found it was helping me, so I continued its use, and it has cured me sound and well. "I can reoommend Peruna to any one, and if any one wants to know what Peruna did for me if they will write to me I will answer promptly.” Peruna is a household remedy of great merit, and is useful in many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis and catarrhal diseases generally.

■ ■- 1 ’ ' ■ - — " . ' Wednesday night and every member should be present. o ———— < Washington, February 9.—The leaders of the Republican party are beginning to realize that President Taft will Inherit from President Roosevelt a collection of exceedngly knotty problems. From all accounts Mr. Taft i himself realizes that he will, at the i outset of his administration, have more responsibilities on his shoulders than have come to a new president for a long time. The financial extraV- , agances of the Roosevelt adminisrtation have brought results with which the new administration must deal. Mr. Taft will enter office with the deficit in the United States treasury approaching 1100,000,000 for this year. The deficit is growing, and Mr. Taft’s i secretary of the treasury will have to be a resourceful num. flnacial experts • say, if he be able to get through the first year of the new administration without a bond Issue to raise money 1 with which to caary on the necessary • current expenses of the government r Wrapped up with the treasury situa- > tion Is the revision of the tariff which Mr. Roosevelt adrotly put off until he • should be out of office. How to inept > an insistent .demand of the people for • lower tariff rates and at the same > time provide revenues sufficient to • carry on the business of the governI ment is a problem for the new pres--1 ident and the naw congress. x “ Washington, Feb. 9.—ln a rousing » speech in the house yesterday Representative John W.

Biliousness, indigestion. ' Mrs. Lena R. Moudy, 556 Caywood ' ! i St., Portland, Oregon, Sec’y Royal <' '' Tribe of Joseph, writes: J 1 ' “For the past six years biliousness - ‘ I and pains in my baok and limbs made 1 1.• J1 life miserable to me. My skin was ' I I sallow and dry, and indigestion was J i added to my troubles. I was wake- 1 ■ [ ful at night and would get a weak, j p faint feeling during the day so. that \ <ll was not fitted to attend to my fog- J ' ular duties.

At noon the voting was reported is being light and not much interest only at Berne, but from the tone Os the majority against In Bluffton, pne is led to believe that they a presidential election was on. The Vote but again indicates that the people have but little use any more for subsidies, and although they may be right, yet the very word is distasteful to the average voter and taxpayer. They object to pay in taxes any money and have that money go into the pocket of a private enterprise. The Bluffton, Berne & Celina road was a legitimate enterprise, and was worth to the realty through which it traversed, the little amount asked in the way of a i subsidy. Many think, however, that i the road will be built any’way, and it is likely that this fact fed many i to vote against the road who would i otherwise have voted for it Nothing has been heard from the projectors of the enterprise as to the future of the , company, but knowing the calibre of the Berne people, wc are led to think , that if they have made up their minds to build a road they will » sidy or no subsidy. The vote ft Berne ' showed an almost unanimous senti- > ment but this is partially due to thk ■ many moves made by the Genevaltes i on the interurban checkerboard. There i is deadly conflict between them for t Bis. line, and it now is a toss up as i to Who will win.

Restorer of Lost Strength. > Miss Bessie Farrell, 1011 Third ' ;! Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., is President l of the Young People’s Christian ;! ' Temperance Association. She writes: i ■ i 1 "Peruna is certainly a valuable ; ■ nerve and blood remedy, calculated ' ' 1 to build up the broken-down health 1 > 'of worn-out women. 1 have found ' ' i by personal experience that it acts as ( i[ a wonderful restorer of lost strength, ' 1 ! assisting the stomach to assimilate < J ! and digest the food, and building up; i worn-out tissues. In my work I have' ' J bad occasion to recommend it fre- < > i quently, especially to sick women. ( [ [ “I know of nothing which is better , I to build up the strength of a yqung <; mother, in fact all the ailments pecul-' i i iar to women, so I am pleased to give i; I it my hearty endorsement.” Pe-ru-na a Woman’s Friend. Mrs. Ella Embree, Clark, Mo., writes: “I am feeling better than I have felt for years. I can truthfully say that Peruna is a woman’s friend. I have no more terrible pains and am stronger than I have been. Your medicine has worked like a charm.”

rii b ■■■■■■ ■■■■■■ The directors of the Fort Wayne and Springfield' interurban company, j eleven in number, met Monday .in ( regular semi-annual session and transacted business of vital importance to ' the welfare of the corporation. 1 Promptly at one o’clock they assem- 1 bled in the directors’ .room at the sta- 1 tion and the first matter occupying ! the attention of the body was the al- 1 lowance pf a semi-annual dividend of two per cent, the same being payable < on or before the first day of March. The road, it developed during the session, has much more than made ex- 1 penses during Hie past year, and the directors were more than pleased to ncte the advancement made thus far. The proposition of extending the line to Berne was the all-absorbing topic of the prolonged session and each and 1 every director was enthusiastically in favor of the project, and as a demonstration of their sincerity in the matter, they subscribed nearly SIOO,OOO worth of stock which will materially aid in the proposed extension. A difficulty which the promoters of the line have thus far encountered is the matter of securing a franchise in the city of Decatpr, and when this matter is cleared, the work of making the grade and laying the steel will be dispatched with all possible rapidity. We were told this morning that the line will be extended to Berne this summer without fail. The people of Berne and Monroe want the line Mdly and are dcing all M their power to support the movements Os the traction company to that end. Before departure the directors repaired to the Moser gallery where their pictures were taken. r— — O 1 ' • " ■ Washington, Feb. B.—The house committe on census will meet tomorrow to consider what disposition it will make of the white elephant it has on hand In the shape of the president’s message disapproving the census bill. The indications are that no attempt will be made to pass the bill over the president’s veto for the reason that so many members have a severe attack of cold feet and cannot be depended upon to stand by Crumpacker in an effort to over-ride the veto. Today the members of the census committee indicated that they would leave to Mr, Crumpacker the decision as to whether or hot an attempt shall be (made so pass the bill notwithstanding veto, tn reply to questions tonight, Mr. Crumpacker said: “I cannot predict what may be done tomorrow, but it to extremely probable that the committee will take nor action at all on the president's veto.” , .- . ,c., *r • . - . *T‘. * ' . ..Sv v ..

Bilious Headache. Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 5649 8. Lawrence St., South Tacoma, Wash., member of Ladies of the Maccabees, writes: "Three months ago I had an attack of biliousness which

aiiaua vi uinuuaucaa vtuauu threatened to undermine my health and strength. Luckily for me, I tried Peruna at the suggestion of my friends before it was too late. "I found in a few days time that I did not have the usual sick headache, neither did food nauseate me any longer. In two weeks’ time Peruna had completely rid my system of the poison and bile, and I was in a much better condition. My skin assumed its normal color, I had a splendid appetite, and I was in every way improved in health. I used Peruna for a month longer, and it wrought a wondrous change in my entire system. I consider it a most wonderful medicine. ” Nervous Dyspepsia. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 61 Marchant St., Watsonville, Cal., writes: "I was troubled with cramps in the stomach for six years. I tried many kinds of medicine, also was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gave up all hopes qf getting cured. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken nineteen bottles and am entirely cured. Have gained in strength and flesh and feel like a different person. "I believe Peruna is all that is claimed for it.”

Indianapolis, February 9—The legislative visitation committee, which submitted its report to the legislature yesterday showing the relative needs of the state institutions, offices, boards and commissiones, used sharp-edged knife on many of the estimates. The report consists of 333 typewritten pages. The committee has been at work since Nov. 12, 1908. It consists of Senator Horace Hannan, chairman; Representative Gus Grelger, secretary, and Representative Henry P. Sicks, treasurer. Every state institution was visited by the committee and conditions were investigated as thoroughly as time would permit. The Kleckner and Tomlinson local option bills were recommitted to the committee on public morals yesterday by motion of James Garrard, Democratic floor leader of the house. These are the bills covering the changes in the liquor laws which are to be offered in return for a repeal of the county unit local option law of the special session. The committee will embody the amendments, it to understood, which have been agreed upon by- the leaders in the last few days. There are indications now that there will be a fight in the present session of the’legislature over the question of creating a public utility commission, and that the fight will assume as great, if not greater, proportions than the liquor fight, and be fully fiercely wafeed. Three bills have been introduced already looking to K the creation of such a commission. One is the Garrard bill, introduced in the house by the representative from Knox oounty, and the other two are the Mattingly bill and the Beal bill, both in the senate. There was grave fear yesterday among Democrats of the house who have been taking a leading part in the option fight that even the Tom-linson-Proctor compromise liquor bill cannot be passed. It was stated by one Democratic representative for the compromise bill, that be’knew twelve Democrats who would vote against it. He said also that he knew that only three Republicans would vote for it under any conditions. With this lineup the measure would be defeated, The Behymer bank deposit guarantee bill was reported- for passage by the committee on banks.

The bill will come up on third reading within the next few days. Senator Will Wood, of Lafayette, Republican leader in the senate, is heartily in favor of a system of inspection for public offices and declared yesterday that he would vote for the merchants’ bill for uniform accounts in county and township offices and for the inspection of such offices. o_ —.
