members from all the state institution

much opposed to the abolition of the

When the bill came to the senate it
met strong opposition, and Mr.. John

duced an amendment, including the uni
versity and normal schools in the scope
of the bill. There was no misunde
amendment. It was offered to kill the

friends of the university accepted that
condition and the bill went thru: He

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in watch Cnaes.

According 10 an article in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, a fifty.one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
in bale Of hay Of eighty pounds.
This Is not as bad as finding lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
tire OF the case
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can sec where this lead is secreted
until the springs of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. II is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged lump of lead in his watch
case.
Another trick Of the makers Of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
"U. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir, by using
this stamp, wants to make the public be-
lieve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick OF the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gener.
ally sent G. o. D., and il the purchaser has
paid for the watch he finds that the COM
pany which guaranteed the watch to wear
is not in existence.
The Dueber. .Hampden Watch Company,
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this uues-
tionable business.

The Farmer and state Aid.

Four States. New York, Massachu.
sets, New Jersey and Connecticut,
have in the past ten years spent about
S10000,000 as State aid for building
wagon roads. About S6,000,000 has
been added to this sum by the counties
and towns where the State roads were
built, and about 2500 miles of State
road have been completed in these
four States. Pennsylvania last year
appropriated S6,J00O00 for the build.
ing OF State roads. Wherever State
roads have been built the selling price
of farm lands has been increased from
twenty per cent. to fifty per cent. and
even more in some cases. The 25OO
miles of State road already built have
been of such benefit to the farmer that
they have caused a great demand for
more good roads. Five States have
found it good to aid in the building of
wagon roads by State appropriation
Why should not the National Govern
ment aid in building roads in every
State of the Union? Congressman
Brownlow, of Tennessee. has answered
this question by introducing in Con-
gress bill appropriating S24,000,000
as national aid for building wagon
roads. This sum is available at the
rate of SS000,000 year for three
years. and is distributed to each State
according to its population, except that
no State shall receive less than $780,
600. The States or counties receiving
this money must add n like amount.
This appropriation will build between
6000 and 1000 miles of splendid nation
al roads and will give, say, from 100
to 500 miles to each State of the
Union. 1t seem. to many farmers that
1t is time for the National Government
to aid them and they Lope the bill will
become law.

n HE season OF catching cold is upon us.
Il The cough and the sneeze and nasal
twang are to be heard on every hand. The
origin Of chronic catarrh, the most com
mon and dreadful OF diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold
generally starts in the head and throat.
Then follows sensitiveness Of the air pas.
sages which incline one TO catch cold very
easily. At last the person has cold all
the while seemingly, more or less discharge
from the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing OF the throat, nostrils stopped up,
fun feeling in the head and sore, inflamed
Dat.
The best time TO treat catarrh 10 at the
very beginning. A bottle OF Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pc
runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh be-
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot
tie is necessary 10 complete a cure. Pc
runa has cured cases innumerabe of ca
tarrh of twenty years standing. 1t is the
best, il not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cod
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom OF cold or sore throat at this
season Of the year and thus prevent what
is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.
