Tin y have little or no time to devote to side issues. It is therefore very rare that such peo ple are willing to write testimonials for anything. Then atrain there is a natural diffi dence in giving public endorsement to any eomn.'^ ial enterprise on the part of people who are much before the public. Rare Endorsements It is thus that it is very rare that pub lic officials, like governors, congress men, consuls. senators, etc., give public endorsement to a proprietary medi cine. It is therefore a great triumph that Peruna has the unqualified endorse ment of so many men in official posi tion. Scores of public officials of national reputation have enthusiastically de clared in favor of Peruna In public print over and over again. A Startling Fact There is no way to account lor such a •tartling fact as this except that Peruna has extraordinary unusual merit. After all, people high and low, are constituted very much alike. The Magnificent State Capitol Building of Wyoming, Natural Enthusiasm. ! Catarrhal Fever. When a person has been really helped in getting rid of some chronic malady, afterother things have failed, it is quife natural for enthu-iasm to lead people to make a statement of the fact. For great services, gratitude is nat ural. This is the only way that it can possi bly be explained why it is that so many persons prominent in public, diplomatic and social life give testimony for Peruna. Actual Benefit. Peruna promptly relieves. This is the explanation. Catarrh is a disease diflicnlt to relieve. A great many of the doctors fail to relieve it. Gratitude Results. A few bottles of Peruna cure a chronic malady of many years standing and it is almost impossible to repress the natural feelings of gratitude which spring up. Catarrh of Head and Throat Mr. Joseph Reiss, N. 14th street, St. Louis, Mo., writes: “1 had catarrh of the head and throat, but through the use of five bottles of Peruna and two bottles of Manalin 1 W’as cured. “1 think that Peruna is the best tonic | that 1 have ever used and I would ad- j vise all catarrhal sufferers to use I Pc-runa.’' Mrs. W. K. Good, Broadway, Va., writes: “When I was fifteen yearsold I had catarrhal lever and for nine years I have had catarrh of the head. “Through neglect it went to my throat and none. After consulting yon I nsed Peruna for four months as directed, and I am entirely well and have my natural health. “I cannot praise Peruna too highly. It will do all that it is recommended to do.” Pe-ru-na Relieves Catarrh. Mr. L. Clifford Figg, Jr., g9‘29 E. Marshall St., Richmond Va.. writes: “As soon as I get a cold I send for a bottle of Peruna,and it soon drives it out of my system. Despaired of Being Cured. “For several years I was not entirely well, and despaired of ever being cured, as 1 had used numerous remedies that my friends advised. I doctored for two years without any improvement. A Last Resort. “As a last resort I tried Peruna, and am pleased to say that in a short time I was completely cured. “I have not been troubled for over a year. 1 am pleased to endorse Peruna 1 as it saved me a world of BuHL-rim*.” L Clarence Jonas Believe, Enough Rich Men Have Same Horror of Graft as He Haa to Assure Success—Would Offer Prises For Conviction of Dis honesty. That graft and corporation dishon- «st\ In the United States could be stamped out If President Roosevelt up on his retirement would head an or guulzatlon to be formed for that pur pose Is the opinion of E. Clarence Jones, a New York banker, who recent ly left for Paris to begin his annual automobile tour of the continent, .-lays a London special cable dispatch to the New York Herald. “Foreigners are criticising American securities and American business meth ods so adversely and with so much Justice In many eases that the necessi ty of reform Is apparent to every hon est American business mart.” says Mr. Jones. “It Is a fact that the small shareholder suffers from graft In al most every great business enterprise In the United States. “ft may be that the robbery amounts to ouly two or three dollars on each share of stock. Rut think of the ag gregate on hundreds of millions of shares whose owners suffer from or ganlzed peculations! “Many years’ experience and thought have convinced me that the only meth ikI of dealing with this widespread di> honesty is by a powerful uupiuHiasa- ble organization which could offer at tractive prizes for Information and con viction. At Its head there should lie a man whose personality Is of Interna tlonal weight, whose name Is synony emus with the square deal,' to wage a successful campaign. "This association would require an Income of $1,000,000 a year, which means that It would have to possess a capital of $20,000,000. I do not say twenty men could be found who would be willing to subscribe $1,000,000 each to this fund, because $1,000,000 is u lot AN UNSTOCKED TRADE. One Business Which Has to Hunt For Good Workmen. There is <>im* cliis-- of workmen who. In New York at least, do not have to look for employment, but are eagerly sought for b\ employers. They are the skilled carriage painters and vnr- nishers. the latter particularly, says the New York Press. The enormous growth of the automobile business ere ated a demand that is nowhere nearly met. There are <*stablishments in the city that constantly are on the watch for good men, and while they are wait Ing for them they run the puinti.ig department of their business at a big loss, other firin' are more fortunate, for they possess the right men or the | right man, but at tin* very best there I is an element of gambling In all fine | vehicle paitiiing. The work requires a special knack, special training and care that never for a moment relaxes. A house paint er. fresco painter or even a piano var- i iii . 'T is apt to be a bungler at the work. A single mistake or a slight uc- ’ cident may necessitate the whole tedious process being gone through i again. When varnishing is done the room is locked against all intruders, (he cracks of the windows and doors j are stuffed with rags and paper, the 1 floors, lower part of the walls and the j window sills are sprinkled with water. ' and the place is vigilantly searched lest a fly or other insect may be there. | If a speck of dust settles while the varnish is being flowed on It will make an ugly lump that stands out glaring- j ly in contrast to the rest of the smooth 1 surface. A fly lighting on the fresli varnish will cause an upheaval rela- ; lively as great as a sun spot.

An Inexpert j man In the paint shop can in a couple of days wipe nut the profits of the rest of the establishment, and, unfor tunately. expert men are harder to get as the relative number of vehicles In- i creases. Even when a Job leaves the place In a good condition the difficulties of the painter are not ended. A carriage may be caught In a shower, and the mols ture may dry on It. That will cause FOR SALE.

But I do believe there are enough wealthy men in the United Ktates who have the same horror of graft that I have for the raising of the necessary : capital to be a possibility, while there are many more who would be willing to leave large bequests to the fund. “If Mr. Roosevelt would consent to take the head of such an organization the necessary uiuuey could doubtless he raised quite easily, for everybody lu the United States, irres; eetive of party, has confidence In his integrity “It ma; be argued with some reason that such an organization would be liable to become a great blackmailing agency, but with a big, honest man at the head this cmild not hni>i>en.
