This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root Of
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for tho
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna Is in great favor among

tions that are trying TO the nerves.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs Of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want Of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced rs the direct result of weak

Indians Rejoice.

The decision Of the United States

case from Kansas thrills the Indians
on the Pottawatomie and Sac and Fox
reservations In northern Kansas with
great Joy. and the leaders are already
planning a great celebration. II will
be pulled of west of Horton some time
next month. There will be a big feast
on dog meat and dance lasting sew
eral days. The celebration will be
more noisy than the green corn dances
because the Indians can now buy all
the fire water they want and they will
have plenty on hand for the occasion.
In the past Indians have had some
difficulty in getting liquor because the
lower courts held that II was crime
to sell liquor even to an allotted In
dian. The supreme court holds that
II Is no crime under the federal stat
utes. This places an Indian on the
same footing as white man.
