have not the slightest suspicion that
they are victims of this universal
disease
This is especially true in cases of
chronic catarrh of the organs in the
lower part of the abdomen or pelvic
organs. These organs are especially
liable to catarrh, which gives rise to
weakening discharges, painful irregu-
larities, backache, bearing-do pains,
cY1aa vii nd fA~@
OF other symptoms peculiar to weak
persons of both sexes, but occurring
much more frequently In women,
when it is called female weakness.
There are a multitude of women,
especially housewives, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet con-
tinually, who are wretched beyond de-
scription, simply because their
strength and vitality is Slapped away
by catarrhal discharges.
Peruna is such a specific for such
cases that when patients have once
used 1t they can never be induced to
quit it until they are permanently
cured. 1t begins to relieve the dis
agreeable symptoms at once. The
backache ceases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite re-
stored, digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weakening
drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.

Mr.. Allen V. Cockrell, son Of Senator

Governor Montague yesterday. Mr. Cock

the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and is
visiting various centerS in Virginia in be-
half OF a Virginia exhibit at ST. Louis
After talking with the Governor. Mr..
Cockrell called on Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture koiner, and had pleasant chat
with that official. Mr.. Koiner is heartily
in favor of the Legislature making suit
able appropriation for Virginia. industries
at the exposition. He said that the State
could make a splendid showing in mining,
forestry and agriculture if a sufficient
amount should be appropriated.
Mr. Cockrell said the exposition authori-
ties were particularly DESTROYS that Vir-
ginia should have good exhibit because
her greatest statesman, Thomas Jefferson,
was the leading spirit III acquiring the
great and valuable territory that the eN-
position is designed to celebrate. He said

TOOK BOLD STAND
ON LIVE STOCK RATES.
st. Paul Official Says Rates Are Too
Low and Have Been So for
Years.

CHICAGO, November Ga. c. Bird,
third vite-president of the St. Paul road
took a bold stand before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day when that
body began investigation into rates on
cattle and packing-house products be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river.
Mr.. Bird was the first witness of i'm
portance before the commission. and when
asked il he desired to defend the reason
ableness of the st. Paul's livestock rates,
ne declared that they We're not reason-
able.
Not only are our livestock rates un-
reasonable he declared, but all our
freight rates to-day are unreasonable, be-
cause they are entirely too low TO com
pensate for the service rendered All
freight rates should be raised, and l am
surprised that the railroads don't make
4 combined effort and raise them
This statement surprised the members
Of the commission and they Immediately
started to ascertain Mr.. Birds reasons.
fr. Bird stated that it was unfair to take
The past two years as a basis from which
10 judge the fairness of rates and the
fairness of the remuneration derived by
the railroads. for during that period the
volume of traffic had greatly increased
whereas. before that period railroadins
had not. as a general proposition, beer

The present inquiry is at the insugatio,,
of the Chicago Livestock Exchange
which claims that the lower rate on pack
.ng-house products that exists between
Chicago end Missouri river points rela-
tive to the rate of cattle. operates against
the Chicago market. Under prevailing
rates, packers can better afford to con-
vert the livestock into packing-house
products at Missouri river points than
at Chicago. While on the stand, Mr. Bird
explained that he had always deemed il
n wise policy to make as low a rate on
the raw material as on the finished pro-
