CONCLUSION.

have put aside a congenial work,
to which had expected to devote my
life, in order to assume, as pest can'
the responsibilities your convention put
upon me.
I solicit the cordial cooperation and
generous assistance of every man VINO
believes that a chance of measures and
of men at this time would be wise, anu
urge harmony of endeavor as well as
vigorous action on the part OF all SO
minded.
The issues are joined and the people
must render the verdict.
Shall economy Of administrator De
demanded or shall extravaganza be en-
couraged?
Shall. the wrongdoer be brought TO
bay by the people, or must justice wait
upon political oligarchy?
Shall our government stand Tor equal
opportunity OF for special privilege!
Shall it remain government OF law
or become one of individual caprice!
Shall we cling to the rule OF the peo-
pie, or shall we embrace DeneiicehI
despotism?
With calmness and connaence' We
await the peoples verdict
If called to the office of President. l
shall consider myself the chief magis-
trate of all the people and not OF any
faction, and shall ever be mindfui OF
the fact that on many questions OF ma
tional policy there are honest diferen-
ces of opinion. believe in the patrl-
otism, good sense and absolute SINGER
ity OF all the people. snail strive 10

If II be the wish of the people that

dency, L pledge myself. with Gods help,

Mrs. Almira a. Jackson, of East Front

consulted said L had diver trouble but
their medicines did me no good. just

Pills was almost para1yzed. I could
hardly stand on my feet because Of the
numbness and lack of circulation. Had
q knife been thrust into my kidneys the
pain could not have been more intense.
MY sleep was disturbed by visions OF
distorted figures. The kidney secre-
tons were annoyingly irregular and
was tortured with thirst and always
bloated. used seven boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills. The bloating subsidized

less, could sleep like child and was
relieved of the pain and the irregplari-

q AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired-Spring
Weather Does it-Every One
Should Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General 1assitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tions. continual tired feeling, with In
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna
invigorates the system. rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigor-
ating cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to its priceless benefit.
Mrs. 81. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th street,
Des Moines, Ia, writes: sc am happy to
give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as consider it val
uable medicine to take when the system
is run down from overwork. About
two years ago I felt that l must take a
long rest as had been unable to work
for over a month and could not regain
my strength. could not sleep ut night
and was in very nervous, high strung
condition. I decided to try what Pc
runa would do to buildup my strength,
and am pleased to say that began to
improve very shortly, and in less than
two months I was a61e to take up my
work, and felt better than 1 have for
years. take it now twice year and
ndthat it keeps me in perfect health. -
Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the
manager of a plant furnishing ladies
wear and employing hundreds OF
women.

Thus it is shown that the attendance
Of men has increased less than three
fold, while there are almost seven
times as many women in attendance
as in 1885. The attendance of men
has decreased in the past three years.
This is probably due to the spirit of
commercialism which seems to be TAX
ing such firm hold upon the Ameri-
can people. Boys are entering bust
ness from the high school, and when
they do go to college they seek tech
nical schools where they may fit them
selves for remunerative positions in
the business world, overlooking the
fact that for broad literary culture
they must take a general literary
course. During the present academic
year the attendance of boys in the
school of arts at the University of Kan
sas is less than last year while the
school of engineering has had de-
cided increase in attendance. There
seems to be general demand for
courses in the collegiate department
of the university in business in its
higher relations. To partly satisfy
this demand courses have been read
justed and students may now in con-
nection with a general literary course
pursue studies in general business,
banking, insurance, Journalism, and
domestic science.

women at the state University.

The University of Kansas is co-edu-
cational. Fifteen years ago the num-
der of men in the school of arts (the
college proper around which all the
other departments are erected) was
much greater than the number Of wo-
men. 1t is interesting to note that the
number of women has steadily in
creased until during the present aca-
demic year the women outnumber the
men In attendance. The following
table shows the comparative attend
ance in the school of arts every five
wears since 1895:

Tired, Nervous Women.

There are thousands of them every
where. A few bottles of Peruna would
do them untold benefit. Asa tonic and
nerve invigorator it has no equal. It
builds up the nerves, it gives strength
to the circulation and at once restores
the appetite and digestion. No feeble
woman should be without Peruna.
