ticulars of the promotion of c. r. Hud-

The election of Mr.. Hudson as presi-
dent of the road in no way affects the
status of Colonel Monserrate, who will

HEALTHY OLD AGE
Pe=ru-na Invaluable for the
Catarrhal Diseases Peculiar
to Old Age.

In old age, no matter how healthy the
person may be, there is a tendency to
GOODNESS, sluggishness of the circula-
ton, Inadequate digestion of food. Such
a condition is not exactly a disease but
is one of the inevitable consequences of
old age. Peruna is peculiarly adapted
to these conditions which result from
old age. 1t spreads a grateful warmth
throughout the whole system. 1t in
tigorates the circulation. 1t increases
the digestive powers. In short. it miti~
gates all of the symptoms which are
directly caused by old age.
Peruna never fails to be of inestim-
able worth to old people. 1t prevents
premature wrinkles. 1t gives health
and elasticity to the skin, and under
its use the sallowness and wizened ex>
preston disappears. 1t has been stated
over and over again in letters from old
people, that ''Peruna has made me look
twenty years younger"
In old age the mucous membrane be-
comes thickened. and partly lose their
function.
This leads to partial loss of hearing.
smell and taste, as well as digestive
disturbances
Peruna corrects all this by its specific
operation on all the mucous membranes
of the body.

eRUBER IN KANSAS CITY.
Says Rock Island Will Spend $780,
900 There in Improvements.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 14.-It was
stated on good authority late yesterday
afternoon that the Rock Island system
is contemplating the expenditure of
$500 coo in the near future on new ter
minals in the vicinity of Kansas City.
The new tracks and yardage facilities
will be located on the tract of ground
situated in West Armourdale recently
acquired by the Rock Island. The en-
largement of its facilities for handling
the increased business in and out OF
Kansas City will undoubtedly mean
also the employment of additional men.
j. NJ. Gruber, general superintendent
of the Rock Island lines west, who
spent the day in Kansas City yester-
day, partially confirmed the report of
the expenditure of a large sum of
money. Mr.. Gruber's headquarters are
at Topeka. He arrived here early III
the day il his private car, accompanied
by his private secretary, and spent the
entire day looking over the ground in
West ArmOurdale. He made an in
spection of the work already accomp-
lished in repairing the damage to
tracks done by the high water. Re-
garding improvements to be made in
the near future. he said
Il am unable to say definitely that
the Rock Island is contemplating the
immediate expenditure of so large d
sum- but 1 believe that it will amount
to that in short time. The plans do
not call for the completion of the en-
tire increase in yardage before cold
weather. The cOngested condition III
our yards and the difficulty experienced
in handling heavy business has made
improvements imperative. We expect
traffic to be heavier still before many
months have passed No new steel has
yet been laid. Our efforts thus far have
been confined to repairing the wash
outs and filling up low places caused
by high water. The improvements will
he begun soon however

FOR MRS. GRAFsTRoM.
Part of Money Raised May Be Used
for an AnnuitY

The Railroad Gazette says: At the
Saratoga conventions a fund was start
ed to build in Topeka, Kan. a monu-
ment in memory of Mr.. Edward F.
Grafstron. mechanical engineer of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, who was
drowned June ?, while rescuing resi-
dents of North Topeka from a flood.
The members of the technical papers
represented at the conventions formed
themselves into committee to receive
contributions. 1t is a distinctly worthy
underta king and contributions are in
vited to be sent to Mr.. S. P. Bush. of
the Buckeye Malleable Iron & Coupler
Co., Columbus. o.. who is treasurer of
the fund. II is probable that a portion
of the money raised will be in the form
of an annuity for the benefit of Mrs.
GrafStrOm.
