Recommends Pe-ru-na

&NOCh alghtforward evidence can
~ not be overlooked. What the COM
mon people say carries weight. butwhen
a man OF national prominence saws s.Pe-
funa should be used in every household.
IL Is a significant fact to the increasing
prominence and undoubted efficacy Of
Peruna.
Peruna is of national fame as a catarrh
remedy. Tt is the only internal sys-
telnlc catarrh remedy known to the med
1cal profession. 1t makes diseased mu-
cous membranes healthy, whether it is
the mucous membrane lining the nose.
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pei
vic organs. 1t cures various diseases Of
all these organs, because two-thirGs of
the ills of mankind are due to catarrh.
With healthy mucous membranes cIi-
matte diseases lose their terror, the sys-
tenn is enabled to throw off cOntagion,
and health follows inevitably.
Mr.. A. Il. Wood, Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes:
"FOr many years have been q suf-
feTer from CafarrE, and have spent
time and money with physicians and
used many kinds of remedies which
were guarantees sure cures, but In
every case it was money thrown away.
"Ireaped no benefit whatever from
them. In my seemingly vain search
for relief I purchased q bottle of Pc
rHna, having no confidence In 1t what
ever at the time. This was about one
year ago, and began TO improve and
was able TO attend TO my business
without being constantly hanfpered by
every Kind OF pain known TO a human
being. My hearing, which was almost
entirely gone in one ear, got very much
better. The medicine not only seems
to cure, but to prevent disease.
"This winter when every one was
suffering from Ia grippe, I stood like &
stone wall, absolutely proof against IL.
4 am NOT a believer in patent n1edi-
CineS, having found fhe majority of
them fakes, but do rot hesitate TO
recommend Peruna as the best nIedf-
cine for Cafarri the world has ever
seen. I keep a bottle of it at home
constantly and shall continue to do SO,
because I believe it TO be the best med
iCine on earth. never leave home
that don't put a bottle of it i'm my
grip" A. T. WOOD
Mr.. Evan D. Bowen, Dodge City, Kan,
Conductor on the A. Il. 81 s. E. r. r.,
writes: "I have had catarrh of the stom-
ach for seven years, and began to think
that never was going to be cured. At
the time I began taking Peruna, I was un-
able to make more than one or two trips
on the road at time, not being able to
keep anything on my stomach. / then
weighed 168 pounds. I have been taking
Peruna since that time and have never
lost trip, and now weigh 200 pounds"
Evan D. Bowen.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DIR Hartman, giving Il
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

Major Dalrymple, chairman of the
road committee, said to do such
thing would be a reflection on the
Board Lets do the right thing"
said Mr. Dalrymple. eff you need a
doctor, you don't ask him how much
he is going to charge before you call
him."
Freebooter Mills couldn't sit still
any longer-so he said-and he sug-
gested that the county had sufficient
counsel at the recent hearings, as
Mayor Reed and former Mayor Quayle
had been associated with the county
counsel.
The motion was put by the director
and declared lost. The report of the
committee including the payment of
the bill together with the other bills
was then voted upon, and an aye and
nay vote taken and was declared
carried by the director by vote of
IL to 8.
On call for losses sustained in
townships by the recent flood Free
holder Cook reported 5000, Freebooter
Budd 800, and Freeholder Kinney
5000.
The finance committee reported re-
ceipts from all sources 1854, 922.84, dis
bursements 1872, 1896, leaving bal

read, showing no serious sickness dur

The Morris County Board of
Freeholders may be taken as a
model. Politics has no place in its
deliberations and each and every
member seemingly does his best for
the interests of his constituents.
When the question came up as to
the payment of $500 to ex-Govern-
or Werts for counsel fees, objections
were made and remade from purely
non-political standpoints; and ques-
tions are settled at every meeting
in this way. In this particular
case there is room for argument.
The Board of Freeholders have a
legal adviser under whose advice
they have been acting. In the
certiorari proceedings the board
has had, practically, two additional
advisers in the persons of Messrs.
Reed and Quayle. All three of
these gentlemen are well known
lawyers of this city and it would
seem as though Freebooter Mills
was right when he intimated that
the employment of Mr.. Werts was
a waste of money. On the other
hand, the prosecutors in the case
are gentlemen who can be depended
on to get at all the facts and who
have thorough knowledge of the
law. In law it is poor economy to
have anything but the very best.
In this case Mr. Werts has had the
experience, and it is for this that
he has been retained and for which
he is paid. If by any chance he
adds strength to the Freeholders'
side his engagement has been the
part of wisdom; if he has not
strengthened it, all moneys paid
him will be a dead loss.

The instructions issued to game
wardens by the Game Commission
read as follows
+" Whenever a warden or other
officer entrusted with the enforce
ment of the fish and game laws is
made cognizant of any violation of
the law, he should ask himself the
question whether the alleged Of
fender has been guilty of any act
infringing upon the rights of
others? Has the spirit of the law
been violated? Would the act
charged, if INDUCED in frequently,
in any way Interfere with the sup
ply of food or of birds or game ?"
Did the warden answer these
questions before experimenting Mr..
Hibler, Mr.. Boniface and Mr..
Kronenberg? If SO, is he satisfied
his action was consistent
On the other hand if the warden
did his part honestly there can be
little sympathy felt for the law
breakers, excepting in that they
were tempted to sin by those who
desired the IF o b d d n fruit"
These very people who tempt the
marketmen to break the law would
hold up their hands in horror at the
thought of asking a man to COM
nit an assault or a burglary, yet
such acts would be no more against
the laws of the State than to ask a
dealer to sell game out of season.

The Supreme Court in decision
on Monday completely wiped out
the $500 exemption allowed by law
to fremen, sailors, soldiers and
soldiers widows, in this State. By
this opinion it is estimated $Io,-
900, 900 will be added to the State
ratables, and in Morristown Sill
900. There are upward of four
hundred fremen and soldiers in
this city which this sweeping de-
cision will affect. The amount
thus increased will in no way al
low Morristown to raise a greater
sum by taxation, but lowers the
city tax rate point or two, which
will not be noticeable upon a tax
bill. 1t seems strange to the lay
mind that after thirty years of
operation this law is suddenly found
to be unconstitutional. 1t is a re-
Election upon the law makers, to
whose intention the Court did not,
apparently, give consideration. The
purpose and intent of Article w,
Section 7 and paragraph IL of the
Constitution, upon which this de-
cision was made, has always been
construed to mean equal taxation.
1t says; Property shall be as
sessed for taxes under general laws
and by uniform rules according tc
its true values. "
The Court holds that exemptions
of property from taxation based
not upon characteristics possessed
by such property or upon uses Il
which it is put, but upon the per
sonal status of its owner, are un
constitutional. In other words
the law is all right, but the facts O
the case make it unconstitutional
Property can be exempted, but not
because the owner is fireman, {
soldier or soldiers widow" L
there is any justice in such al
opinion il is not plain to be seen.
No greater service has ever beer

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
By the President Of the United States
America:

By the President Of the United States OF
America:
A PROCLAMATION.
The Sc ason is at hand when, according TO
the custom of our people, it falls upon the
President to appoint day of praise ana
thanksgiving to God
During the last year the Lord has dealt
bountifully with us, giving lus peace at nome
and abroad, and the chance for our citizens 10
work for their welfare, unhindered by war
famine or plague. 1t behooves US not only TO
rejoice greatly because of what has been given
us, but to accept it with a solemn sense OF re-
sponsblity, realizing that under heaven IL
rests with us ourselves to show that we are
worthy to use Alright what has been intrusted
to our care. In no other place and at no other
time has the experiment of the government oy
the people been tried on such scale as In our
own country in the opening years OF the twen-
tieth century. Failure would not only be
dreadful thing for us, but dreadful thing Tor
all mankind, because 1t would mean loss OF
hope for all who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty. Therefore, in thank
ing God for the mercies extended to us In the
past we beseech him that he will hold them IN
the future, and that our hearts may be aroused
to war steadfastly for good and against all the
forces of evil, public and private. We pray for
strength and light, so that in the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and Wis
dom do our allotted work on the earth in such
manner as to show that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have received.
Now therefore, l. Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do hereby desig.
nate as day of general thanksgiving Thurs
day, the twenty-sixth of the coming Novem-
Der, aud do recommend that throughout the
land people cease from their wonted occupa-
tious and in their several homes and places OF
worship render thanks unto Almighty I'd for
His manifold mercies.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal o. the United States
to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this thirty
first day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and three, and of
the independence OF the United States the one
hundred and twenty-eighth.

On Tuesday President Roosevelt
sent message to Congress that
was brief and to the point. 1t had
to do solely with the necessity OF
legislation as regards Cuba. In it
he called the attention of Congress
to the fact that legislation was de-
manded not only for business in
terests, but that this country is in
honor bound to treat with this mat
ter now. In the proposed treaty
as great economic advantages are
secured to the United States as are
accorded to Cuba, and will be of
immense value to this country as
we'll as to Cuba. Reciprocity with
Cuba will secure a market for our
producers and will sacrifice no
American industries. Should this
country not secure this market
Cuba will be forced to make ar
engagements with other countries
much to our own disadvantage.
There is a large market there for
American products, which can be
greatly increased, and it would be
great mistake to let slip such an
opening. Not only would this be
a mistake in business sense, but
it would be a practical reputation
of the pledged faith of this country.
