~. of Belleville, his district court stem

thusiastic supporter of the present state
election law. Asked as to what he
thought of the system of voting he

candidate upon that ticket excepting
such as are otherwise indicated. Then
let the voter, after making his mark
in the circle at the head of his party
ticket, indicate the exceptions by
mark in the square opposite the name
of any candidate in the other tickets
that he desired to vote for and let the
ballot be counted for that candidate in
lieu of the one whose name appears for

Court House Notes.

Some months ago, long before the
election and before the primaries, the
county commissioners limited that after
the election the Burlingane road should
be rnacadamized. The residents along
that road have remembered it and now

macadam.

YSAYE'S FIRST CONCERT
His Appearance In Philadelphia a
Decided Success.

Philadelphia, Nov. ia great
audience assembled at the Academy of
Music Friday afternoon on the occa-
sion of the first American appearance
of YSaye, the violinist. The seating
capacity of the house reached the
limit long before the hour of the
concert and scores of music lovers
were unable to gain admittance.
The Press says, ''Ysaye is undoubt-
edly the greatest living exponent of his
instrument" The Inquirer: "Ysaye
possesses in a prominent degree all the
qualities which constitute real great
ness in violin playing and in whose
combination consists the difference
between genius and talent. He has
temperament in style and power
The North American: 1.-The marvel
Gus tonaI quality of this artist is like
mystic music from another sphere"
Ysaye will appear at the Auditorium
this season under the auspices of the
Topeka Choral society.

TILL NOON
The Simple Dish That Keeps One Wig
orous and Well Fed.

When the doctor takes his own med
fcine and the grocer eats the food he
recommends, some confidence comes
to the observer.
A grocer of Ossian, Ind, had a prac-
teal experience with food worth any
ones attention.
He says: six years ago I became
so weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that 1 was finally compelled
to give up all work in my store, and
in fact all sorts of work, for about
four years. The last year 1 was con-
fined to the bed nearly all of the time,
and much of the time unable to retain
food of any sort on my stomach My
bowels were badly constipated con-
tinualy and lost in weight from 165
pounds down to SO pounds.
when at the bottom of the ladder I
changed treatment entirely and start
ed in on Grape-Nuts and cream for
nourishment- used absolutely moth
ing but this for about three months
1 slowly improved until 1 got out of
bed and began to move about.
Il have been improving regularly
been working about fifteen hours a day
in the store and never felt better in
my life
During these two years have
never missed n breakfast of Grape
Nuts and cream, and often have it
two meals a day, but the entire break
fast is always made of Grape-Nuts
and cream alone.
'Since commencing the use of
Grape-Nuts I have never used any
thing to stimulate the action of the
bowels, a thing 1 had to do for years,
but this food keeps me regular and
in fine shape and I am growing
stronger and heavier every day.
My customers. naturally, have
been interested and I am compelled to
answer a great many questions about
Grape-Nuts.
some people would think that a
simple dish of Grape-Nuts and cream
would not carry one through to the
MONDAY meal. but it will and in the
most vigorous fashion

Doctors Unable to Help Her-Cured
by Pe-ru-na-
Mr.. George Forester, 2747 Mascher
ST., Philadelphia. Pa. writes:
1--WE have great faith in Peruna. My
wife's condition was such that she
thought she would die, as the doctors
could not help her dyspepsia and ca
tarrh of the stomach. Now she can
eat anything.
1--WE keep Peruna in the house all
the time. but it is only once in while
that she needs to use it. I was sub
Ject to liver and kidney trouble. which
resulted in rheumatic pains, but have
not had a pain since 1 took Perunas
and very little liver trouble. as Pc
runa keeps the digestive organs in
good working order, and that is the
main thing. George Forester.
Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common
Disease.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM
mon indeed. 1t is a pity this fact s
not better known to the physicians -
well as to the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get bet
ter. They never once think of ca
tarrh.
Kidney disease and catarrh are sell
dom associated in the minds of the
people, and alas, it is not very often
associated in the minds of the physi-
clans. Too few physicians recognize
catarrh of the kidneys.
Peruna is not simply a palliative to
relieve some of the most distressing
symptoms. 1t is a permanent and
radical cure.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-The nego-

concluded. Only one small point re-
mains to be settled and that is OF such
importance that Foreign Minister

People on Burlingame Road Ask for
Pavement.

c. ]. Devlin, A. A. Hurd, E. W.
Poindexter, J. B. Rowles, and others
owning property on the Burlin game
road have petitioned the board of
county commissioners to maca damize
three miles of the road.
The petitioners offer to furnish the
rock for the macadam if the county
will do the rest of the work. This is
the plan under which the commits
sioners have constructed the macadam
roadway on the West Sixth street
road The maca dam road will cost
about $4,000 mile. The Burlin game
road is one of the principal highways
of the county, and the macadam
would connect with the Buchanan
street paving.
