This is the reply: "The labor trust

because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor union
plan in tnat We do not force people to
strike, picket. boycott, assault. blow

We do not pay thugs $50 to break In

We have steady, unvarying respect
for the law-abiding peaceable union
man and most earnest desire to see
him gain power enough to purge the
unions OF their criminal practices that
have brought down upon them the
righteous denunciation of a long g-suf-

not fawn. truckle, bend the knee. wear
the hated collar OF white slavery, the
union label, nor prostitute our Ameri-

You offer to remove the restriction

choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation OF the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom OF our
brothers.
You would gag US with silver bar
and mufIle the appeal to the American
people to harken to the cries for bread
of the little children whose faithful IA
theirs were beaten to death while striv-

Your boycott may perhaps succeed In
throwing our people out of work and
driving us from business. but you can
not wrench from us that priceless Jewel

A Prominent and Successful
Man Completely Restored by
Pe-ru-na After Trying Other
Remedies in Vain.

Mr.. Henry c. shoop, Washington
C. H.. Ohio, writes:
IT consider Peruna one of the greatest
remedies known to mankind.
Being an active man all my life, and
with the constant strain and ambition
to try to make life success, l
found out to my sorrow. some five years
ago. that my physical strength was
leaving fast, although not then had 1
reached the meridian of life.
II began at once to try to study my
self and apply such remedies as L
thought would reach my case.
IT tried every remedy I could think
of, but only temporary relief would re-
suit, and finally came to the conclusion
that proprietary or patent medicines
were a fake

ago, I looked upon the trip to Columbus
as being my last.

for teachers. There they can interest
and keep men; they pay them high
salaries, and offer every inducement
for advancement. But we cannot; we
are not rich enough.
Then, too, man doesn't care to de-
vote his life to a position from which
he may be ousted at any time on ac-
itics in our school system, but still a
man cannot feel that his place Is as
sured for all time. That is a draw
back; man can make more in other
lines of endeavor and still feel that
he is permanently fixed.
Praises His Teachers
But with all this, we have splen-
did corps of teachers, and one to take
the greatest pride in. And we have
good schools, though they are often
crowded. If we could only arrange so
that we could once catch up with the
city and then keep abreast of it's Won
derful growth we would place our
schools on a better basis than any 1
know of. anywhere"
For eleven years this gentle-spoken,
mild eyed man has been wrestling
with these problems-and yet, he isn't
soured, ill-tempered nor irritated by
them. He sees what is lacking with
the keenness of vision of an eagle, yet
IN spite of what is needed. he has
hammered and nodded and fashioned
the Los Angeles school department
into a concrete whole that has a rep
utation clear to the Atlantic ocean for
excellence and thoroughness. Nearly
500 teachers report to him and 10000 and
more children are in their charge. He
is very general in the army of edu-
cation, and in his office center the
nerves and wires that weld this mass
Of units into one body. His Is the
finger that feels the pulse and reads
the conditions which surround the citi-
zens and wives of the future in the
making. All he wants is two mills on

Personal recommendation Better
Than Advertising

How ofen we hear and read the ex-
preston "A friend advised me to try
Peru Ia. 1 tried it and found it to be
exactly what | was looking for"
At least ten times as many people
have taken Peruna because a friend ad-
vised them to do so as have taken it
because they saw 1t advertised.
Advertisements, however attractive
they may be made cause only a small
per cent of the sales of Peruna.
1t is the advice which friend gives to
friend which sells Peruna.
Peruna cures one person of some
phase of chronic catarrh and because of
this cure a dozen other people are in
duced to take Peruna.
Attention Called to Pe-ru-na
Max ]. Porges, Alderman of the sth
District. 3S Rivington street, New York
City, writes:
"Peruna is a national blessing.
my attention was called to it this
fall when l had la grippe. Two bottles

Thousands of Unpublished TestL
monIaIs on File

No other remedy in the world has re-
ceived such a volume of unstinted tes-
timony.
While we have thousands of testi-
monials that we can never publish. yet
the written testimonials are as nothing
in comparison with that spoken every
day by friend to friend and neighbor to
neighbor.
This is what makes Peruna so popular.
The people try 1t and find that 1t cures
them.
Then they recommend it to others and
others try it and so the work goes on.
If all advertising of Peruna were
stopped, the sales of Peruna would
doubtless continue for a generation or
two because of it's intrinsic value.
A Friend Recommended Pe-ru-na
Mr. John c. Thomas, Hardwood. w.

among boys to look down upon manual
work and the mechanical arts. Boys
do not want to soil their fingers; they
fear they will not rank with their softer
handed brothers. Boys are showing
too much of tendency to crowd into
the lighter tasks and to overflow the
professions. There is already a scar
city of good mechanics Of every kind.
We don't seem able to increase their
number; we don't see where our future
artisans are coming from.
This is wrong, and the manual train
ing school is in a measure to counteract
this tendency. 1t is to restore the dig
nifty of true physical labor and hard
work. 1t is. at the same time, to COM
bine the knowledge of how to do a
thing by practice, with the theory of 1t.
Thus we will make thinkers out of mere
mechanics, and our thinkers will learn
to do things with their hands, also. 1t
Is the same trouble on the farm; the
boys all want to flock to the cities. But
the rural mail and the telephone are
rectifying that tendency to a degree,
and the training school will help with
the other"
"Then it isn't a fad, as some have
called it?''
mot by any means; 1t is one of the
most modern and useful of the present
day educative Methods"
but If this tendency of men to drop
out of the teachers ranks continues
where are you going to get instructors
for the future boy, who will do as well
as learn?"
Want Men for Teachers
"There is the trouble. True, women
in measure are taking the place OF
the men, but there Is no question in
my mind that we ought to have men in
our higher grades. True men. mean,
not these-these-"
And the superintendent hesitated for
word. 1t was supplied:
"Sissies?"
That's it exactly" he laughed. I'VE
lot of boys. Better any time a strong
woman than weakling of a man. Oh,
any day!
"But If we could have good, honest,
earnest and strong men for our prin-
cipals and teachers in our highest
grades, 1t would be better. There is
something about boy when he reaches
the top school age that demands O
mans control. He sympathizes with
boy better; he handles him better;
the boy will work better under a man
than under woman.
But we can't get them. There isn't
enough in the position to pay a man
to stay in tito pay the right kind of
man, generally speaking. And we
won't have the 'sissies.'
IT'S another unfortunate fault of
our system; we haven't the money to
make it worth their while, and they
drift out and into other work that
pays better and offers a future.
Women will and can work for less,
and they stay. But I wish that we
could have more men.
"Still, women do well; there is no
question about it. They are ambitious;
they have a future in the teachers
ranks, and they work for It, They
will start in to teach and perhaps
keep it up for several years; often
they grow tired of grade work, drop
out a couple of years, and take
special course, and return as special
ist in some department. This pays
better, though not yet what a man
must have. and they stay, well salts

families and ambitions and they can't
do this.

! Tax Il Sales

T. h
The tax sale at the court house
this week attracted the average
number Of purchasers. but be-.
cause Of the fact that a tax
title is little better than none
at all makes these sales some
what farcical. The taking Of
a man property for taxes is a a
serious matter, and no man
should have his property so
sequetered without a reasonable.
opportunity for redemption
But where the owner lis "a non.
resident and suffers his taxes
to lapse and at the same time
holds his land for the increase
in value from the development
OF the country by the people who
pay taxes, there should be some
way of placing the land on the
market after due notice to the
owner and SELLING it for a fair
value, returning the surplus to
the owner, and then the tax.
title should be made perfect.
