U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru=na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something
TO Produce Artificial, Diges-
ton Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

Elk U. s. Senator NJ. G. Butler, from
South Carolina, was senator from that
state for two terms. In recent letter
to The Peruna Medicine Co., from
Washington, d. c., says:
81 can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. ! nave
been using your medicine for a ssr0st
period and feel very much relieved.
II Is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. "--M. c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Pc
runa cures catarrh. Peruna does not
produce artificial digestion. 1t cures
catarrh and leaves the stomach to per-
form digestion in a natural way. This
is vastly better and safer than resorting
to artificial methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies CO n
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is locat-
ed in the head, Peruna cures it. II
catarrh has fastened itself in the throat
or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it.
When catarrh becomes settled in the
stomach, Peruna cures it, az we'll in
this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it il
generally dependent upon catarrh.

DR.. Finnev sent in an order this
week for an asbestos curtain for
the La Junta Theatre. The thea
tire has also been provided with
fire exits from the east end of the
balcony, with stairways leading to
the alley in the rear. Provision
has been made for lighting the
exits with incandescents, which
are controlled from the stage by an
individual switch, the lights being
used only in cases of emergency.
The improvements for FIRE protec-
ton cost between 5000 and 500,
and the effort made to insure great
er safety in this popular playhouse
will certainly be appreciated by
the citizens Of La Junta.

BLACK LOCUST FOR POSTS.
Quite Popular in Some Sections, But
Not as Reliable as the Honey
Locust.

The black locust makes excellent post
timber in localities adapted to its
growth; that is, where it is not killed
by the borer before it gets large enough
for such use. The locust does not
grow as rapidly as the softer woods,
such as the catalpa, but it makes a
very hard and durable post. We believe
for most localities the yellow or honey
locust will give better satisfaction than
the black locust. So far as we are
aware, this variety is not attacked by
the borer. We have known trees of this
variety to stand unframed by the side
of a black locust grove, every tree in
which was killed. The black locust has
the faculty of throwing up sprouts
from the roots whenever the top is cut
off or killed by borers, SO that a grove
of this variety is self-renewing and If
planted a little thin in the start may
be thickened up by cutting them off and
inducing them to throw up sprouts
from the roots. The great trouble is
that the borer is liable to strike them
just before they are large enough to be
valuable as posts. The honey locust,
while free from possible destruction
by the borer, makes just as good post
timber, and we believe grows about as
fast as the black variety. The rate of
growth, as with any other tree, de-
ponds much upon the conditions of the
soil and rainfall. Under favorable con-
ditions the larger trees in a grove of
this timber should be five to eightinches
through in 20 years, and should carry
a fairly uniform size of trunk to a
height of Is feet.-Prairie Farmer.

One western senator, whose name was

missive was written by his secretary, who
is an unfeeling man and fully capable of
slamming the door in the face of hope.

How to Keep House.

Of them in some form at some time.
Trifing as some of them may be, the
risk is that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con
slant torture. There is nothing, there.
fore, of this kind that we have a right to
trife with. Taken in time, the worst
forms of aches and pains are easily sub
dued and cured by the free use of St.
Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household
ought to be without a bottle of this great
remedy for pain. 1t is the specific virtue
of penetration in st. Jacobs Oil that
carries it right to the pain spot and
effects a prompt cure even in the most
painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up a sort of insurance against
pain.

HOW CHOLERA IS SPREAD.
Disease Is Carried to Many Herds by
Men Who Have Been with
Sick Animals.

Without doubt the best way to KEEP
hog cholera out of a herd is to prevent
any hogs that have been exposed to
cholera coming into the said herd. The
next precaution should be to prevent
men that have been where hog cholera
there are healthy herds of swine. We
have frequently spoken of this as a
means of bringing in cholera, but it is
doubtful if we attach enough impor-
lance to it that we should. A man
that was for some time connected Off
cially with one of our leading expert
ment stations told the writer a few
days ago that the cholera had been
brought to the station again and again
by visitors from farms where the hogs
had the cholera. Men would come to
the station and want to see the hogs.
They would get over into the yards,
handle the animals, and before leaving
would carelessly remark that they had
been losing a good many of their hogs
from cholera. In due time after their
visit the hog cholera would break out
In the experiment station herd.
1t is not possible for the station off,
cials to cross-examine every man that
wants to look at the hogs, but men
themselves should have enough intelli-
gence to realize that they are likely to
carry the disease from their own herds
to others. No man that has cholera
In his herd should visit a herd having
no cholera, unless he wears clothing
he is reasonably sure is free from hog
cholera germs.-Farmers' Review.

confided to me; "at a table, a social

alter, for example; but most people con-
sole themselves with the thought that
it is something that can't be prevented.
They are mistaken in this belief, how
ever, for it can be prevented, and by a
very simple expedient. When one feels
the premonitory symptoms of a sneeze
coming on, if he will just press firmly
down on the lip on either side of and a
little below the nostrils, the symptoms
will never cash in, and the sneeze will
be avoided. Adoctor told me about this

Set your posts eight feet apart, deeply
into the ground and brace we'll. Next
bring on your wire. Lock at one end
and then unroll the length of the wire.
Now have prepared two boards into
which bolts have been placed, one at
each end, the other in the middle. Bolt
these over the wire at a post, preferably
a well~braced one. Now take two stout
poles or irons, crowbars are best, place
one at the lower edge and another at
the upper end and pull gradually until
the wire has been frightened. Then
tack securely. Stretch as tight as pos
sible.
Always place just below the woven
wire a barbed wire for hog fence, as

Don't Buy Cheap Fertilizers.

High grade fertilizers are the cheap
est. The Connecticut station, summa-
rizing its analyses last year, said:
Dollar for dollar, the buyer gets more
than twice as much plant food in spe-
cial manures, which cost SO to $40 per
ton than in those which he can buy for
$25. Goods which are cheap are made
cheap by taking out nitrogen and pot
ash and filing with phosphoric acid"
The same truth is emphasized by other
experiment stations and state fertilizer
inspectors. In other words, when buy
ing from reputable concerns. you get
just what you pay for, whether it's fer
@tilizers or anything else.--Orange Judd

FOOLISH GREED FOR LAND.
Usually 1t Has Its Source in an Al.
together Silly Desire to Make
Display.

We are all familiar with the greed
~ the city man who never gets rich
enough to retire, but who keeps On pill
ing up wealth year after year merely
for the sake of accommodating. h. -
the favorite theme of the country
preacher when he wishes to point out
the folly of this world; yet we seldom
hear anything about his rural counter
part, the man who is land greedy and
who keeps himself and family in mar
row, restricted ways of living in order
that he may add to his domain. This
criticism does not apply to the men
who are able to extend their operations
without cramping themselves seriously
and who can make their purchases
yield returns which justify the invest
ment, but rather to the men we occa-
sionally see who have a passion for ac-
curing land, but who do not stop to
consider whether they will be able to
handle it proftably. A successful young
dairyman who had % cows was asked
why he did not increase his herd, in
asmuch as his farm would support
more. Because rs is all that I can
care for with the amount of help l find
1t profitable to keep" he replied. Fl
can better afford to utilize the surplus
products of the farm in some other way
than to so increase my herd that an
other mixer will be required"
The farmer who feels the itching for
more lana" should consider something
besides the price and ask himself
whether the land if acquired could be
farmed economically in conjunction
with that which he already has. If
not, he would do well to "go slow"
about mourning a burden of debt or in
vesting cash which he has earned by
the hardest kind of toll. The best
farmers are agreed that their profits
depend upon close. careful management
and up-to-date methods which insure
a maximum of production with a min
imum of labor, and it is the small, we'll
titled farms that often show the biggest
returns per acre. The desire to exhibit
prosperity is no doubt the temptation
to which many men succumb when
they buy more land than they need, yet
they are often so plain in dress and
manners that they would consider it
rank injustice should anyone accuse
them of wanting to make a display"
