She thumbs the breastbone OF the one

The Vegetables must be just right.
For with critics eye

There is no other disease so many
sided in it's i'll effects, so insidious in its
approach, so tenacious in its hold upon
the system, as Ia grippe. Once there, it
stays until it is cured. La grippe is one
of the ills that time win not cure.
The after effects of la grippe do not
locate in any particular organ. II
amounts to general irritability of the
mucous membranes of the whole body
a habbiness and paleness of the mucous
membrane Sometimes there is an over
amount of thin, watery mucous secreted,
and at other times there is a dryness OF
the mucous surfaces.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by la
grippe better than the remedy Peruna
Peruna strengthens as it renovates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals as it
expurgates.
Peruna is not a purgative,o or cathartic.
or sedative, or stimulant, nor vegeta-
bic or mineral poison. 1t reaches the
source of all diseases of the mucous
membranes by its action on the vase
motor system of nerves.
The following are samples of the let
ters received by DR.. Hartman concern

FILES MUST STAY
Secretary of State Historical
Society Is in Trouble.
People Take documents and Fail
to Return Them.
WANTS A NEW LAW.
Would Prevent Their Removal
From State House.
Legislature Will Be Asked to
Alleviate the Trouble.

The State Historical society will ask
the legislature to protect the files and
official documents of the society from
the lawyers and others who make a
practice of borrowing these things and
failing to return them.
With this purpose in view the legis-
lature will be asked to pass a law au-
thorizing copies to be made of records
and documents for the admission as
evidence in courts, but the same law
will provide that it shall be unlawful
for the original documents to be re-
moved from the sOciety's rooms, unless
in the custody of the clerk or some au-
thOrized representative of the society.
An incident of recent occurrence will
illustrate the necessity of some sort of
protection for the society and it's valu-
able records.
A libel suit was being tried in one of
the district courts of the state. The
suit depended upon a three-line para
graph which appeared in a paper, the
only complete file of which was in Dos
session of the society. The attorneys
representing the plaintiff borrowed the
bound volume of the papers and after
using them in court neglected to re-
turn them to the society.
To secure possession of the volume
the secretary of the society at first
wrote letters urging the return of the
papers These were unheeded. Then
the tone of the letters changed to a de-
mand; then an order for the immediate
return of the papers. All of these com
munications remained unanswered.
Then the secretary wrote letter ex-
planning that if delay continued re-
plevfn and the sheriff's aid would be in
voked.
The lawyer who had the books was
not dead. He was doing business in a
town near Topeka, so the secretary of
the society went to the lawyers office,
on the way obtaining the presence of the
sheriff, and after an hours search
among the waste papers piled in the
office found the societys property.
Another incident contained as much
annoyance for the officers of the society.
Some official documents were taken out
for use in law suit and they were not
returned. The secretary was again COM
PEELED to take the time and spend the
money necessary to hunt them up.
At this stage of the proceedings a.
new rule was adopted and it is being en-
forced. The property of the society can
not now be removed without the con-
sent of the secretary, under any cir
cumstances. 1t is probable that it will
be but a few weeks until the law sug-
gested by the secretary is passed after
which the secretary viii go along with
the documents It the expense of the
persons using them, or copies of needed
evidence can be made under the certih-
cate and seal of the society.

Missouri has for many years wanted to
get west. This road now runs to Lenora,
which is about forty miles from the
east Thomas county line, and there may
be something in it just now. from the fact
that times are good and most all the
roads leading to the west are extending

RATION 10 BOOM.
Assurance of Keeping Shops Brings
Out Enterprise.

The citizens committee, consisting Of
DR.. Shuler and E. Fulghum, have re-
turned from Topeka, where they had
an interview with President Ripley of
the Santa Fe railway. The interview,
the Ration Reporter is informed by one
of the committee, was most satisfactory
and Ratonites can now feel assured that
their little city will forge ahead and
soon become one of the largest cities
along the line of the Santa Fe. One
of the first substantial improvements
to be made will be a new depot and
hotel which will be the most attractive
structure of the kind on the system. The
Santa F'e officials recognize Ration as
their own town, and intend that the city
shall reflect the prosperity which the
road has been enjoying.

opposed to the boycott. He does not an
ticipate that the reliable men who have
gone out during the strike will have any
difficulty in procuring employment,
many of them from the Santa Fe com
pany.
From the first the officials of the road
nave asserted that none Of the strikers
VIII be taken back to work. The COM
pany had hundreds Of applications more
than needed to fill the positions and the
day after the strike was declared had
the situation fully in hand.
The operators who went out are priv
ileged to apply for Reinstatement ac-
cording to President Dolphin's order
Whether there will be any relentine in
officials is question. Many of the men,
anticipating the present outcome have
already made arrangements for the fu-
ture.
General Manager Nudge in an inter-
view declared that the strike was long
since over, in effect, as far as the COM
pany was concerned.
1T will not now affect us one Way or
another, through being called off. We
have had plenty of men and run trains

ing its present business methods we will

peet to retain our present schedule and

We viii treat with our men as en-
ployes if any occasion arises"
The strike was in effect for fifteen
days. formal order applying to the
whole system was issued today by Presi-
dent Dolphin. No concessions were
gained by the strikers as a preliminary
to closing the struggle.
Chicago, Dec. 22.-Third Vice Presi-
dent Barr, of the Santa. F'e system, said
upon being informed that the telegraph
ers' strike had been declared off:
las far as we are concerned 1t has
been off a long time. We have all the
men we need at present, and we will
discharge none Of them to make room
for any striker who wishes to come
back. These men broke their contract
with US in a manner entirely unjusti-
fable, and we are done forever with the
telegraphers as an organization. The
strike naturally caused us annoyance at
first, but this lasted only for a few days,
again."

GOOD REASON FOR 1T.
The Success and Popularity of the
New Catarrh Cure.

The remarkable success and populaTi-
~ of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, is largely because it
not only cures catarrh but because ca
tarrh sufferers who use these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems, no secret is made of what
Hydrastin, blood root, guaiacol and red
gum, are pleasant to the taste and be
ing dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lin
tng of the throat. nasal passages and
the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases are little short of remarkable, and
ahe advantage of knowing just what
sou are taking into your system is of
paramount importance when it Is re-
membered that the cocaine or morphine
naplJ mas been frequently contracted as
the result of using secret catarrh rem
ediez, as so many of them are well
known to contain these injurious drugs.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
the approval and cordial support of
physicians because their anteseptic
character renders them perfectly safe
for the general public to use and their
composition makes them a common
sense cure for all forms Of catarrhal
trouble.
With nearly all advertised catarrh
cures it is a matter Of guess work as to
what you are taking into the stomach,
as the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their medi-
GlnSS Will uOs are very careful to keep
st a close secret as to what they really
contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's Ca
farrh Tablets have been so widely recon-
mended, because they are not only
pleasant and convenient to take, but
the patient also knows he is not putting
into his stomach anything of an in
curious character.
These tablets are sold by druggists
everywhere in the United States and
Canada at so cents for complete treat
xnent and probably there is no better
remedy ever devised for the permanent
cure Of catarrh whether located in the
head, throat. bronchial tubes or in the
stomach

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies: fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they are
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital
strength to resist any sudden
attack, while the lean one has
little or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
is SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
