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

such people no just complaint.
PEF.DHA IS A GREAT MEDICINE.
It has become a household v/ord in
millions of homes. Our faith in the
remedy is stronger than ever. Every
year we expect to establish new plants
in foreign landls until the people of all the world are supplied w?th this valu
able husehold remedy,
WE CLAIM PERUNA TO EE A CATARRH REMEDY. Buy a bottle and
try it. If it helps you, be honest and acknowledge that it has helped you.
If you want us to we will publish your statement exactly as you furnish it

publi.t ; your portrait in connection with it. We will not do this without your
written request, without your entire consent.

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

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

la order to increase a business
you must get more of the trade
of those who spend something
with you and some of the trade
of those who spend nothing
with you. To do this we must
make it to your advantage to
trade here, therefore, to help
you form the habit of coming
to the Gaffney Manufacturing
Company’s store, we are going
to give away one-half of the
sales of this store one day each
month.
The Explanation
Is Simple
For each purchase that you
make—no matter what you
buy—we will give a printed
receipt, showing the amount
of the purchase, the initial of
the salesman who served you
as well as the date rad number
of the sale. Save your re-
reipts and on the fourth of
.*ach month following the date
of ourchase, we will announce
a particular date, and if you
hold h receipt representing a
purcha.ie bearing this date,
present it to any one of onr
assistants, who are authorized
to pay you ifi. merchandise one-

The young man had small, sharp Iron
j rakes nailed U> his boots. As he threw
! himself, “belly bumpers,” on his high
| steel toboggan a girl said:
“Why those iron rakes, and why a
sled of steel V”
“I.” the young man replied, “am a
coaster of repule. I coast at St. Moritz,
in the Swiss Engadine. I am entitled
to use the famous Cresta run.
“That run.” he explained, "is Iced.
You don’t slide on snow there, but on
pure ice. And how fast you go! In
fact, you go eighty to ninety miles an
hour.
“You use a steel sled because a
wooden one wouldn’t be stable enough,
and you wear iron rakes on your boots
because otherwise you could not steer
on that steep, winding course of glare
ice.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Chance For George Eliot.

‘ He has since received a letter ad

to contain a circular from a London

The Queen’s Counsel.
During the first jubilee of the late
Queen Victoria a distinguished Ameri
can was shown round the courts and
heard a Q. C. address the court. “I
won’t say »vho It was,” said Lord Al-
verstone, “but I was at the bar then.”
After about twenty minutes the visitor
1 said, “Is that one of her majesty’s
counsel?” “Yes," was the answer.

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

would pa'-s through a one and a half
inch space and were laid three inches
deep. 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. The type of wag
