The Free Pass Bribery System
A new book just from the press
and now ready for delivery.
BY GEORGE w. BERGE.

The whole country IS shocked
at the disclosures of money brib-
cry IN many of our cities. But
what a0iU the people sag when
they learn that railroad pass
bribery IS even a greater evil
than bribery with money?
Money bribery IN ST. Louis,
IN Milwauhee, IN Philadelphia
and many other cities whcre IN
vestigations haze been made, is
insignificant compared TO rail-
road pass bribery IN most Of the
states IN the country. Feao men

THE EASTER LESSON.

Years ago VA heard a text for a
sermon by Bishop Brooks, II VIC re-
member Alright, Death Is strong, but
Life is Stronger" Isn't tha the right
thought for Easter, and isn't u true
thought
When the November winds strip the
trees OF their foliage. when the flow
ers fade and tho and the grasses lose
their vcrdure, II Is death, All that
gives evidence Of life In the organic
world returns to the inorganic, Who
not familiar with the miracle and
mystery could dream that hidden In
germ that retained the PURSUANCE TO
cause those withered grasses, those
naked branches, those lifeless stocks,
to be clothed upon with more abun'
dant glory and beauty than that which
was lost.
In the miracle of the grasses and
the trees and the flowers we read the
lesson OF immortality. The temper,
AIRY death that oyercame them was
chill and stern and disheartening, but
the life that ~revivified them was
stronger.
In all nature, that which appears
verltable death Is really the promise
of a more glorious life. Reading not
alone the lesson from nature. but
prompted by an instinct that Is uni
yersal, mankind believes that the
death of the frail body and the sus
pension Of the mortal powers OF mine
are the promise Of a fuller and NOR
abundant life that shall be eternal.
The nations of the earth and thu
individuals OF the nation may diffeI

belief and practice, but when the,
approach the question Of immortality
they tread upon common and hol.

The Fear Of Grip Makes People

There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by the
grip better than Peruna.
Peruna strengthens a. IT r~enovates,
soothes while 1t stimulates, heals as it
expurgates.
Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic
or sedatiye, or stimulant, nor a vege-
table or mineral poison.
1t reaches the source Of all diseases OF
the mucous membranes by its action on
the vaso-motor system OF nerves.

The grip has produced catarrhal IN

a great many remedies have been
suggested fer this condition from time to
