Quiet Reform.

Those interested in the fall cleo
lions would do we'll to take look at
an article in the November Every
body's If they are at all uncertain
what reform administration can ac-
complish. In Reform that Reforms"
Alfred Holder tells specifically some
of the changes for the public good
that have been brought about in New
York during the present administra-
tion-notably by the commissioners Of
health and charities. The quiet re-
forms of which the public does not
hear are often the most significant
the stopping Of leak, accomplished,
for example, by paying fifty cents Of
the public money for a gallon Of al
cohol in place of former $575: the
rigid inspection of drugs and groceries
to check adulteration. Reform may
make its mistakes, but one is inclined
to think that these are mistakes in an
uncommonly good direction, after con-
Bidering Mr. Holders facts.

Making Glass.

The art of making glass was intro
duced into Japan about one hundred
and fifty years ago by Hollander
who settled at Osaka. For several
generations the knowledge of the pro.
cess was confined to single family,
and 1t was not until about 1879 that
the general employment of coal, in
stead Of charcoal, and the construc-
ton Of brick chimneys enabled the
manufacturers TO introduce improve
ments which placed the industry on
a substantial basis. Osaka has contin-
ued to be the center of the industry,
and now manufactures for export, be-
sides supplying the home demand.

Berlin will soon have an electric
distance printing apparatus as an ad-
junct to the telephone. Through the

ment, Of which the telegraph and tele-
phone system is part, the Ferndruck.

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. Oak, Dec. 1.-Two
years ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher of
this place suffered great deal with a
dizziness in her head. She was cured
of this by remedy called Dodds Kid
ney Pills, and has not been troubled
since.
Shortly afterwards she had a bad
bilious attack, and for this she used
Diamond Dinner Pills and was COM
pletely cured in short time.
In January, 1903. she had an attack
OF Sciatica, of which she says:
II was almost helpless with the Sci
atica, but remembering what Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills
had done for me before, | commenced
q treatment of these medicines and in
three weeks | was completely restored

opposition and has won its way to the hearts
of the people. The natural timidity which
so many people have felt about giving en-
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that SO many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique en-
dorsements

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
n notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schey could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Pe1una
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

These lines are not original with me-
They are taken from a tuneful little
ditty sung in George AIDES comedy,
Peggy from Paris" The jingle danced
through my brain the other day as we
lay on the siding at Prairie Junction,
or some such place, to let the Santa
Fe's west bound California Limited
go by. 1t was gorgeous train of PAL
ace cars, and behind the plate glass
observation windows beauty and fash
ion and youth and old age were lolling
among the luxuriant cushions, some
visiting, some reading, some pleas
antly doing, some making wreaths
or cigar smoke, some gazing dreamily
through the windows at the passing of
cities, and fields, and forests and riv-
ers.

last car Of our train and watched the
California Limited as she faded away
toward the golden west. And
thought Of the difference between
travel now and travel in the
days of 40, when it took the
gold-seeker half long, weary
year, filed with all kinds OF hardship
to travel the distance that is now
covered in three days. l thought of
the slowly moving wagons, the dust,
the stones, the jolting, the thirst, the
hunger. the inconsistencies, the snail
like crossing of plains, the laborious
climbing Of mountains, the weary
dragging weeks, the never ending trail.
In these palaces that had just glided
by were people going to the same
place to spend the winter months
where the climate is perpetual sum-
mer. And they were not to endure a
single hardship on the journey.
When night came they were to lie
in beds whose soft embrace makes
sleep a luxury-and in the day time
the velvet cushions of their seats were
to be made deeper still by pillows
and they were to spend a delightful
part of their time in the gilded and
glittering dining car, where every
dainty that ever tickled the palate Is
cnticingly served-in short, they were
to have on the trip all the comforts of
homeland of the best kind of home.

Floored Joe Lacrosse and the swampin's

But no one was specially anxious and we
backed away, because
Good will to men was not jest then in the
