that shippers using the Midland Valley
had been requested to make their checks

this time of congestion seems to reflect
in favor OF the former, but not neces-
sarily in favor of their policy of build

The Milwaukee is better situated than
its competitors to meet a congestion OF
traffic, being a more compact system
Not including the extensions, the farth-
est point on the Milwaukee system from
Chicago has been less than 600 miles. This
makes it easy for the management quick
ly to mobilize cars and keep them mobil-
lied, so to speak. If the Great Northern
is any better off than its competitors in
the matter of equipment it is largely on
account of the Hill policy Of anticipating
the far future. But even the Hill dis
cernment fell far short when it discount
ed the reality of today.

remedy are pouring in from every
state in the Union.
DR.. Hartman is receiving multi
tude of such letters daily from all

The outdoor laborer. the indoor artf-
san. the clerk. the editor, the states
man and the preacher-aH agree that
Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the
age. The stage and rostrum, recOgniz-
ing catarrh as their greatest enemy,
are especially enthusiastic in their
praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the best safe
guard known.
A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
Peruna not only relieves catarrh. but
prevents it.
Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs,
colds and catarrh.
