Water Power In California.

The wonderful results which Cali
fornia has accomplished in the trans
mission of electricity to distances
greater than anywhere else in the
world leads to an interest in its pecu-
liar type of water power possibilities
which in part make this great electri-
cal development possible. The secret
Of the efficiency of California powers
lies in the excessive grades of the
mountain streams rather than in an
unusual volume of flow, the near
proximity of the high Sierras to the
populated valleys and their quick de-
scent, giving the streams unusual adj
vantages in this regard.

Hundreds of Dollars
Spent in Vain---Pes
rusna Cured.

70 you for Peruna. Miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by neglected cold. Diseases OF
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans,are all frequently the result OF .
neglected cold
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause OF
them is discovered, there will be NO
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhra medi-
cine and constipation medicine is OF no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh OF the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any OF
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement Of your case, and he will
