ton for the nerve centers. Properly
digested food furnishes these reservoirs
of life with vitality which leads to
strong, steady nerves, and thus nour-
ishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among wo-
men, especially those who have voca-
lions that are trying to the nervous sys-
tenn. Peruna furnishes the lasting in
vigoratton for the nerves that such
people so much need. Thousands Of tes-
timonials from women In all parts of the
United States are being received every
year. Such unsolicited evidence surely
proves that Peruna is without an equal
as nerve tonic and vital invigorator.
Buy q bottle of Peruna to-day.
If you do not receive all the bene-
fits from Peruna that you ex'
pected, write to DR.. Hartman, Co
Lumbus, Ohio.

In q recent letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe of New
York City, has the following to say OF
Peruna: -.
~ am glad to write my endorse
n1e1t of the great remedy, Peruna,
as nerve tonic. I do SO most
heartily" Julia MarlOwe.
Nervousness Is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality.
These centers become bloodless for want
of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the spring season. Every spring
host Of invalids are produced as the
direct result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion.o Digestion furnishes nutri.

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist,


There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albunen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
Of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. "A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and it's wonderful cures. Address

Especial to the News and observer.

Especial to the News and Observer
Elk Park. ~ c., March 29.-The stock
law passed by the late Legislature for
this county is causing a good deal of adj
verse comment 1t is not needed in this
county, especially in this end of the coun-
ty, and will prove great hardship on
the people who own no land and have no
pasture for their stock The law will, in
all probability, be voted out of the town
ships in this end of the county, as soon
as an election can be held.
Many improvements are being made by
the new management of the East Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina Rail-
road Company. New steel rails are being
laid and car sheds built. The road seems
to be getting in fine shape under the
management of the new superintendent,
Capt. James E. Lawton.

STREET CAR MEMS PROTEST.
Grievances Not Before Washington
Traction Officials.

There were no developments yesterday
as the result Of the action taken on
Wednesday night by Division No. 1Gi of
the AmalGamated Street Railway Asso-
citation of America. when resolutions
were adopted protesting against the i'm
timidation. discharging. and blacklisting
Of the members Of that organization by
the Washington Traction Company. AT
the meeting a committee was appointed
to lay the grievances complained of be
fore the management of the road, but
that was not done yesterday. From what
was learned last night II is not probable
that any step In this direction will be
taken for several days.
One of the officers of the Washington
Traction Company, when asked if the
representatives, of the union had waited
upon him or any other of the officers
stated that they had not done so. Fur
ther than this the officer of the road re-
ferred to refHsed to discuss the situation.
John L. McCracken, a motorman,
president Of the local street railway
mems union. who, 1t is alleged, was dis
charged for some trivial cause stated
last night that it has not been definitely
decided what further action his organiZa-
ton will take in the premises The
union, he Is satisfied, will not proceed
alone in an attempt to bring about
better condition of affairs. Representa-
tives of the street railway mems
union he said have placed the matter in
the hands of the Central Labor Union
and the American Federation of Labor.
with both of which organizations the
street railway men are affiliated. Under
these circumstance Mr.. MCCracken said
it is not likely that any definite line of
action will be formulated before next
week The matter will be presented to
the Central Labor Union at it's weekly
meeting on Monday night next After
that he stated. no doubt a committee
will be appointed by that organization to
confer with the officers of the American
Federation of Labor with a view to
bring about a betterment of the condi-
tions under which the members of his
organization are now compelled to
work.
When asked If he Anticipated that a
strike will be ordered by the street rail-
way mems union, Mr.. McCracken stated
that he did not believe that action would
be taken along that line.
