successful in some of the races. Hellas,
at II to 1, took the third race, for
which SANITY was a strongly played

Cummins NAV STAY.

Del Valentine, who was secretary Of
the Kansas Day club two years ago,
suggests that it would be a. drawing
card if the officers of the club could
persuade Governor Cummins to remain
over and speak at the Kansas Day ban
quet. Governor Cumm1ns will be here
on Wednesday, January 81, to deliver
the chief address before the Kansas
State Bar association, and the lawyers
propose to try to keep him over to their
banquet on Thursday. The following
evening the Kansas Day club holds it's
banquet. and if Governor Cummins
could be persuaded to stay and make
an address before the club it would
doubtless prove a great feature.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
70 the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every
State in the Union. DIR. Hartman is
receiving hundreds of such letters
daily. All classes write these letters,
from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
runa is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are
especially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh UNIVERSAL; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of it's victims. Peruna not only cures
catarrh, but prevents it. Every house
hold should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and so
forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it con-

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Dear Sirs = have had occasion to
use your Peruna medicine In my fam

excellent remedy. I have not had Oc-
casion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, w. NJ. LORD.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
runa for other ailments. The reason
of this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Peruna to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. This is exact
ly what every other family in the
United States should do. Keep Peruna
in the house. Use it for coughs, colds,

ailments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with a copy
