4 A TONIC Is a medicine ihaa gives
IA tone to some part Of the system.
There are different kinds Of tones, bat
the tonic most needed IN this coantFy,
where catarrh is SO prevalent, is tonic
that operates on the mucous membranes.
\ Peruna is tonic to the mucous mem
branes Of the whole body. 1t gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna Is specific in its operation
upon tiie mucous membrane. II Is a
tonic that strikes Mt the root Of all ca
tarrhal affections. II gives tone 60 tie
| minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibrcs. Catarrh cannot exist hong
| whcre Peruna is used inteIligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh In all the hid
den parts OF the body.

Catarrh Of the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured 10y pcpsin powders or
any other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is removal q
the catarrh from tie mucous membrane

if they could get together could elect
a president of the United States and
break off the partnership between the
government and the saloon-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles.
This editor is together" He got "to-
gether'' when he cast his first ballot, in
1876 We know Of some thousands who
are also together" Unless all signs
fail, the election returns will this year
show more voters together than ever
before. There are already enough enc
mics of the saloon to kill it. When they
"get together" the saloon dies. But they
must "get together man at time.
If you vote against the saloon, your
politics" will be right, no matter to
what party you belong.-California Issue,
Anti Saloon League organ.
1t is true that under the local option
system you can vote against the half doz-
en- or dozen saloons of your town mo mat

The west is woefully behind the east
in the independent spirit in politics. Not
only are great masses of voters entirely
divorcing state and local politics from the
national parties, but even the metropoh
tan daily papers in Chicago and elsewhere
further east boldly support men in local
politics that are opposed to the national
policies advocated by the people. This is
illustrated by a recent editorial in the
Tribune Of Chicago, which has a circula-
ton Of $4,000. 1t says: There is Stew
art, ,prohibitionist. He was one of the
few big men at the. last session. 1t was
because of Stewards success in getting
to the last legislature that the Republi-
can and Democratic parties were obliged
to make an improvement this year in the
character of their nominees And if
Stewart fails to be reelected, what is to
prevent the Republican and Democratic
party organizations in Hyde Park from
going back to the kind of candidate whom
they preferred in the days before Stewart
broke through their park palings? How
long does it take dog to return to his

Stewards district) should be chosen from

The most tremendous, and by all
odds the most dangerous and degrad
ing trust in America to-day is the
liquor trust. It is a. conspiracy against
the homes, the lives, the peace and
the prosperity of all the people in the
interest of licensed class.
The saloon is the greatest enemy
of the working mans home.
Time, effort and votes given to the
right are never lost. But whoever
enthrones wickedness by voting
party into power committed to the
liquor traffic, with all its train Of
evils, has not succeeded. He has lost
the best there is in his own political
life and sunk his country's hope to q
level with the bar-room and it's twin
sister, the brothel.
