In recent letter from 5000 Michigan

the following:

but begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep it up until you
are cured, as you surely will be If
you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die, as
they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the result
that she is better now than she has been
in years, and her cough has almost left
her entirely. The soreness has left her
lungs and she is as well as she ever was
in her life, with thanks, as she says, to
Peruna. Yours very truly,

Preservation Of Government Domain.

30 Tar as they are available for agriculture and
to whatever extent they may be reclaimed under
the national irrigation law, the remaining public
lands should be held rigidly for the homebuilder,
else. In their actual use the desert land law,
the timber and stone law and the Communication
clause of the homestead law have been so per.
verted from the intention with which they were
enacted as to permit the acquisition Of large
areas Of the public domain for other than actual
settlers and the consequent prevention OF settle
ment. Moreover, the approaching exhaustion Of
the public ranges has Of late led to much dis
cussion as to the best manner of using these pub
lie lands in the west which are suitable chiefly or
only for grazing. The sound and steady develop
ment Of the west depends upon the building up

stead law. On the other hand, we should recog-
nize the fact that in the grazing region the man
able to settle permanently If only allowed to use
the same amount Of pasture land that his brother,
the homesteader, is allowed to use Of arabic land.
One hundred and SIXTY acres Of fairly rich and
irrigated land may keep a family in plenty, where
Is no one could get a living from 100 acres of
dry pasture land capable Of supporting at the
outside only one head Of cattle to every ten acres
In the past great tracts Of the public domain
have been fenced in by persons having no title
thereto, in direct defiance of the law forbidding
the maintenance or construction of any such I'M
lawful Enclosure OF public land. For various
reasons there has been little interference with
such Enclosures in the past, but ample notice has
now been given the trespassers, and all the re.
sources at the command Of the government will
hereafter be used to put a stop to such trespassing.
In view OF the capital Importance OF these mat
tiers ! commend them to the earnest consideration

Guilty In dealing with them from lack of thorough
knowledge OF the subject l recommend that pro-
cially to investigate and report upon the com.

Through . wise provision Of the congress at its
last session the White House, which had become
tdis6gured by incongruous additions and changes,
has now been restored to what 1t was planned to
be by Washington. In making the restorations
the utmost care has been exercised to come as
lnear as possible to the early plans and to supple
lment these plans by q careful study Of such
buildings as that of the University Of Virginia,
(which was built by Jefferson. The White House
is the property of the nation. and 50 far as Is
compatible with living therein it should be kept
