after taking two bottles of Peruna the

Mr.. M. j. Rossman,a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ca, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church Of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., OF
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
For a long time l was troubled with
catarrh Of the kidneys and tried
many remedies, all of which gave me
no relief. Peruna was recommended TO
me by several friends, and after using
a few bottles I am pleased to say that
the long looked for relief was found
and l am now enjoying better health
than l have for years, and can heartily
recommend Peruna to all similarly at

DIRT EATERS.
The Grenadines in the West indies Have
Many of Them. 3

Many of Them. B
You can't convince the coolie of the
Grenadine Islands, West Indies, that
there is any harm in eating dirt. His
own diseases ought to convince him
but they don't. The rest of their diet
is simple and meagre. For the most
part they are ~vegetarians. They eat
ice, peas, curry and ghee, a specially
prepared butter in great use. Most
protesting vegetarians do not exclude
from their diet milk and eggs, but
these coolies will not touch either, ex-
cept when they are in hospital and
forced to do so. To hard workers in
the a fields under a searching tropi-
cal sun such a frugal diet cannot be
supposed to be productive of health
or robustness. And when to this sort
of food is added the Injuries of dirt
eating, it is no wonder that these cool
les are bloodless and stiff jointed.
These ills are characteristic of the
race.
Coolie patients in the English hos
pitfalls of Carriacou, one of the Grena-
ulut lSlduoo, lAOQuCANAJ u OOA0 -
have gravel hidden in their clothing,
and they cry and beg for it like the
morphine eater for his dope. This
stuff which they eat is a soft, slate
colored or grayish stone. Sometimes
the pulverized dirt is made into cakes.
If there isn't much of this to be had,
the coolies eat rags, paper and coke.

of dirt eating is swollen all over the
body, and the muscles of his legs are
tense. His face is puffy and has a dis
tressing look of WEAKNESS and prema-
ture age. He is short Of breath, and is
unable to speak, so that he has to
make signs to indicate his condition.
His tongue is swollen and flabby and
lies in the floor of his mouth, from
which he cannot raise it, from pure
weakness. 1t is marked strongly with
impressions of the teeth. He has Sc
we're headaches, dimness of sight anc
pains in the abdomen. His skin is
thin, flabby and lacking in firmness
and even in the case of children feels
like the skin of an aged person. The
complexion is pasty.
But to have the diseases incident tt
dirt eating it is not necessary to ca
dirt Intentionally. Laborers in tn
fields, who rarely wash their hands
have been known to take enough dir
into their stomach by handling thei
food with their unwashed hands to &C
quire all the ills which affiict thos
who eat dirt because they like it.

One May Speak Of a X Dam With
out Profanity.

out Profanity.
There is no profanity in saying that
any certain thing lis not worth a
tinker's DAM" although it is sc con-
sidered by many. The expression
originated many years ago, when tink-
ering, or mending leaky tin vessels
was much cruder than it is now. In
former times the use of rosin to
check the flow of solder when placed
on tin was not generally understood
at least by the rowing tinkers. When
one of these gentlemen of the road
found a job, such as mending a wash
boiler or other tin household ~utensil,
he would get from the housewife or
domestic a piece of soft dough. With
this he would build a dam around the
place where he intended to put his
solder. Inside Of the circle thus
formed he poured the melted lead.
When the metal cooled he would brush
fined it to the desired limits. The heat
had hardened the heavy paste and
baked it thoroughly, so it was abso-
lutely of no use for anything else. 1t
became one of the most useless things
in the world, and there wa not enough
of it even to be worth while carrying
to the pigs. Hence the expression
which was originally intended to con
vey a certain idea, appears to have
been retained, while the origin is MOI
generally known.-New York Herald.

SENATE bill No. 10, introduced by
Senator Mitchell of this county, provides
for the protection OF lands and irrigation
canals from the depreda.ions of herded
stock. We have not yet Q a copy OF
the bill but judge from its title that it's
passage will afford relief for many set
tiers who have been to the expense of
constructing ditches only to see them
ruined by stock, the present law provid-
ing no remedy but a suit for damages.
The result of such a suit would neces-
sarily be doubtful. owing to the peculiar
nature OF the case, for the right of stock
to occupy the public ranges is not
questioned and the owner OF the ditch
would be put to much trouble to prove
a willful trespass. A definition of the
rights Of the ditch owner and stockman
in such cases is a public necessity.

CENSUS D1sEoroH MERRIAM, whc
Republican

CENSUS DIRECTOR MERRIAM, who
was never noted as q civil service re-
former, still has a very timely and
suggestive article in the Saturday
Evening Post on his method of choos-
ing clerks for the work of the census,
and incidentally tries to compare his
system favorably with the competi-
tive system of the civil service COM
mission. Mr., Merriam allowed the
congressman to nominate candidates
for the positions, and then appointed
an examining board. before whom
these appointees were required to
prove that they knew rs per cent. OF
what they ought to know about arith-
metic, geography and United States
history. After appointment they
were still liable to suspension if their
work was not satisfactory. The di-
rector's plan is half good and half
bad. The political opinions of a
clerk should have no bearing on the
question of his employment and the
sooner politics are absolutely dis
associated from pecuniary reward of
this kind the better, but Mr.. Merri-
am certainly does make a valid point
against the present system Of the
civil service commission when he OBJ
jects to the "life tenure" Of en-
ployees whose Incompetence is not
SO serious that they could be dis
charged under the present rules. but
whose derilictions amount to much
more than would be borne with by an
ordinary business house. From the
amount of time it takes to get any
thing done at Washington, it is APP
parent that q large number of perma.
n int suspensions would be healthfuI.
