the present per capita appropriation

that the per capita in the following
states is higher:

1t is in this manner that Peruna

it makes cures. 1t cures old cases of

ELGIN, ILL.-In very recent COM

news that Mr.. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a
well-known architect of that city, has
made complete recovery from catarrh of
the head from which he had suffered for
nearly quarter of n century. He writes
the following from Is Hamilton ave.:
al am 40 years of age, and have had
catarrh of the head for over half of my

to try it two months ago. I have now

al hope to live twenty years yet, and
if Peruna helps me in the future as it
has in the past, I don't know why L
can't. The druggists say Peruna is ono
of the best selling medicines they have
in stock. &C. r. HARDEN.
Peruna can be relied upon TO cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with 4 promptness that
is unequaled by any other remedy.
If a cold has settled in any portion of
the body and produced catarrh, it is gen.
orally thought by people that they must
suffer on year after year without any
hope of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands of
testimonials that can never be used
attest this fact.
Any one wishing free literature on
this subject should address DR.. Hartman,

The novel project Of running )
palatial special train from Chicago q
New Orleans and return, = distances
Of nearly 1000 miles for the sols
benefit Of competitors was successfully
carried out by the officials OF the
Illinois Central Railroad last week.
Nearly loo general passenger agents
and members of their families were
the guests Of the Illinois Central DUR
ing the trip, everything, including
musical entertainments in the obser-
vation car, being provided by the
company. Had anyone undertaken
to purchase the service and entertain-
ment provided the cost could not have
been far from e1o,ooo. The tgatn
was, 50 to speak, an edition deluxe,
the Pullman Company certifying
that the new cars furnished were the
finest ever manufactured by them,
and the engineers and train crew
were the most expert In the employ
of the railroad company.
The novelty of the affair consists
largely in the fact that q few years
ago railroad companies strove to keep
from competitors accurate knowledge
OF conditions along their lines Of
railroad. Excluding the complimen-
tary feature, the main purpose of the
Illinois Central expedition was to edu-
cate competing lines regarding the
unexcelled transportation facilities
possessed by that company, and the
possibilities which lie in the develop
ment of the South. Although pro-
gressive men, the general passenger
agents who are on the trip were
amazed to learn that the Illinois
Genital now practically has a double
track system all the way between
Chicago and New Orleans and a rock
ballasted roadbed with few grades
and curves, which is capable OF ac-
commodating an enormous volume of
traffic. They were also surprised at
the phenomenal commercial and in
dustrial awakening which the South
is experiencing, and they will spread
the news regarding both facts for
months to come.
In doing this they will be advertise
ing the South most effectively and
promoting travel there from every
quarter of the country. Naturally
the Illinois Central will get the bene-
fit Of this, for in short, it has recruit
ted force OF loo live advertising
agents from among the ranks of its
active competitors. Under railroad
methods in vogue prior to the era Of
Community OF intenests'' such an
undertaking would have been hailed
as suicidal.-Chicago Record Herald,
