The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus
O.:
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to uea
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to be an excel
lent remedy. I have not had occasion
to use it for other ailments
Yours very truly. WIN. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
SAYS he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments Begin
with cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
" cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. Thisis exactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, 10
grippe, and other climatic affections OF
winter, and there will be no other all
ments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with copy
of DR.. Hartman's free book, entitled
"Winter Catarrh." Address DR.. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio.

Strange Story from Topeka.

A Topeka man who has been draw
ing a pension for ~ years recently
wrote to the pension Office, volun-
tarily surrendering his claim, and
asking that the regular quarterly
payments be stopped. He explained
his action by stating that he has be-
come q convert to Christian science;
that he drew his pension because Of
alleged rheumatism and alleged stom-
ach trouble; but since becoming a
scientist he has been convinced that
there is no such thing as rheumatism
or stomach trouble, and that he ''has
no right to take money from the
government on account of a cause
which does not exist"
IL Old Soldiers' Home an AlmshouseS
All the old veterans in the national
soldiers home at Leavenworth, num-
bering over 5000, with the exception
of the few who may go home for the
purpose, will vote this year in Leav-
enworth county. There is some talk
that the democrats may test the
validity Of the law permitting the
old soldiers to vote in Leavenworth
county under the provision of the
constitution denying franchise to in
mates of "any almshouse or other
asylum maintained at public expense"
