1 PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I. Dr. Hartman it now offering Penma to the public as a regular pharmaceu tical product It is just as ethical as any compound put up lor the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE PB1NCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna j have a true justification. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and ' sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval. ♦ BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical i profession like it cr not. ■> We are proposing from this tine on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT FEItONA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism. Y/e expect, however, that crit icism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find People Who Object to Medicines Can Now Secure Peruna Tablets. Liquid fault.

PROGRESS MADE EACH YEAR. <1 Twenty-four Hundred Miles of Road Already Laid Out—Gravel Generally Used For Surfacing—How the Work Is Done. Paul D. Sargent, state highway com- missionor of Maine, in a recent ad dress before the good roads and legis lative convention of the Automobile club of Springfield, Mass., spoke as follows about road work in Maine: The construction of state roads In Maine presents a little different prob lem from that in any other of the New England states. This is partly on ac count of our large area which is sparse ly settled and our low valuation. For r**- •• ‘Si m *** vJ. - ..»• i*»w J * 'fji* 1 . * m ■ V .-rA''’V. .* , V' . . •V ’ MODEL ROCK ROAD.

Our population First Strip Constructed In Wisconsin Undsr Direction of U. 8. Engineers. There has recently been completed in Rock county, Wis., the first strip of road built under the supervision of United States engineers since Wiscon sin emerged from a territory into the dignity of statehood, says a Janesville (Wis.) correspondent of the Milwankee Sentinel. Incidentally it is the first model road to be constructed in Wis consin on rural roads with proper ma chinery on rules laid down by the government This strip of road is three-quarters of a mile in length and lies a half mile east of Clinton, in the township of that name. When the county board met last spring the towns of Clinton, Plymouth, Center, Fulton, Bradford, Beloit and Milton all appropriated sums ranging from $400 to $1,000 for the construc tion of good roads. According to the state law, the county board was of ne cessity forced to appropriate from county funds an equal sura for each town equal to their appropriation. Just at this time Samuel C. Lancas ter of the bureau of good roads at Washington spoke before the state legislature, and Mr. Hotchkiss, secre- tary of the state good roads move ment, prevailed upon him to visit Rock county as the only county in ti\._. state which had appropriations for the pur pose. His visit resulted in the good roads bureau at Washington being pre vailed ulion to send a complete set of road building machinery and engineers to construct three-quarters of a mile of model road as an example for the rest of the county to follow. While the cost of the road ran over the $2,000 appropriated, this was due to high pi ices of material and long hauls and can be easily overcome in future roads. Tbc road is built with a twelve foot crown or macadam center. The rock bed Qowdayavlll* Qo—lp. *.—The Qowdeyirllla, Feb. fe—ftie death of icn.

The increasing habit of using sou venir postal cards is inuring to the benefit of the government in one way not generally understood,” said a post- office attache. “Many persons who have the habit of mailing souvenirs or towns are less than $500,000 in valua- ; tion. In many <>f our towns, especially i the smaller <ni‘ . highway taxes alone | run from 1 to ;*, cents, so you see when 1 these towns make appropriations for | good roads they are really struggling , to improve their condition. We have, however, made a start in i the matter of state road building and are making progress every year. In | 1!X)1 a state road law was passed which was general in its application— , that is, it provided that every town In the state might have state aid in com- j plying with certain conditions. The amount which any town could expend under this original law was'only $200 per year, and the maximum state aid j allowed on account of such expendi ture was $100. Succeeding legislatures raised the amount until at present $G , >0 is the maximum amount a town may | expend and be reimbursed by the state for half its expenditure. The first year of the law only twelve i towns took advantage of its provisions. 1 while last year, tiie sixth year of its ’ operation. 322 towns built their state roads and received state aid. This year 350 towns are building sections of state road. Our law provides that when a town makes appropriation and declares its Intention to build state road the county commissioners shall designate in that town the main traveled thoroughfare, which shall thereafter be known as the state road, and that said appropriation shall be expended in Improving some section of this road. Under this pro vision for designating state roads about 2,400 miles of road have already been laid out. Up to the close of last year about $!50.000 had been expended by the towns and the state In this reconstruc tion work, and nearly 300 miles of road had been worked upon. The .V- • • 1SS9.

A surface dressing of screen ings one i h thick was then laid and the whole watered and rolled hard and firm. The crown or surface of the road has a curvature of three-fourths of an inch to the foot, giving good drainage. The question of drainage for the road was carefully looked to. Side ditches and culverts were placed where water was liable to do serious dam age by washing, and attention was paid to the formation of the land through which the road runs. The government outfit used consist ed of a portable stone crusher, a re volving sieve, which separates the rock after being crushed; bins, a steam roller, a sprinkler wagon, scrapers and dumping wagons.
