Pe-ru-na Cures One DiSease-Catarrh.
This form of catarrh is rarely recog-
nized, but almost always is called
something else.
This misleads the doctor and the
patient and a great deal of treatment

Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. The catarrh may be located in
the pelvic organs or any other of the
organs of the human body.
Peruna is an internal systemic rem

This has given rise to a notion that

fact that whenever Peruna makes a

trophe two weeks ago. DIR. Lee De

fected a wireless apparatus to be at

automatic in action and will take the
place of the block system now in use
on many of the larger railway sus-
TENS.
The continuance is attached to the
roof of the engine cab and right in
front of the engineers eyes. 1t will
operate for one mile in either direc-
ton and will receive impressions every
five seconds. Should there be train
on the same track within one mile a
danger signal of red light will be turn
ed on automatically, and either three
dots or a dash will tell the engineer
whether the train is ahead or behind.
A similar arrangement will be placed

the switch is closed; otherwise its &C
tion is the same as if there were a

changes in conditions often make it
necessary to change railroad terni-
nails, although the companies may
regret to do so, and that this state of
affairs now exists on this division,
necessitating the removal of the ter
minals to Wichita. He stated the
water at Ell Dorado and the ground
yards are far superior to those at
Wichita, but these advantages are
overcome many times by the fact
that Wichita is better located for the
runs in both directions as well as
many other things. Mr.. Clark also
said the maintaining of what they
now have here depends on conditions
for some time and they might be re-
moved most any time. He called at
