AMI
WEAKNESS CURED
BY PE-RU-NA

Miss Sadie Robinson, Rand street,
Maiden, Mass, writes:
"Peruna was recommended to me
about year ago as an excellent remedy
for the troubles peculiar to our sex,
and as found that all that was said of
this medicine was true, am pleased to
endorse it.
81 began to use it about seven months
ago for weakness and nervousness, caused
from overwork and sleepiessness, and
found that in few days began to grow
strong, my appetite increased and began
to sleep better, consequently my nervous
ness passed away and the weakness in the
pelvic organs soon disappeared amp have
been well and strong ever since"

THE LESSON OF 1919,
Need of Fleet Powerful Enough to
Prevent Coast Blockades.

Need OF a Fleet Powerful Enough TO
Prevent Coast B1ockades.
In reading criticism in to-day's
Times of Historian Roosevelt's" re-
marks concerning the soldiers of 1872
it struck me that you might well have
taken exception also to his comments
on the naval situation in that war,
says writer in the New York Times.
His protest against our unfortunate
custom of teaching inaccurate his
tory and his plea to have US both ac-
knowledge past humiliations and draw
profitable lessons from them is most
commendable. In the same speech,
however, the President is reported to
have said that I'VE won on lie sea-
in 1872 because of our previous prepa-
ration for naval war.
Is not that an example of exactly
what we are warned against? 1t is
true that in duels between light-armed
ships-viz., frigates-our navy cover
ed itself with glory, but these com
bats had little effect beyond showing
that our navy had no superior where
forces were equal The really decisive
feature of the naval war was that
England, by reason of the lack OF
fighting units-i. e., "ships Of the
line"-in our navy, was able to block.
ade our coast, to "bottle up" practical
ly all the ships of our small navy, te
bring our commerce to a standstill and
to direct as she pleased raids along
our seacoast, such as that on Wash
| ington
The only naval victories that had
decisive results were those on Lakes
Erie and Champlain, where the fleets
on each side were improvised. On the
tsea, where the real naval strength was
| tested, we were overwhelmed no less
than on the land, though the afore
said preparations did prevent the dis
graceful features Of the land warfare
which were due mainly to our lack OF
regular troops. The truly importan;
lesson to be drawn from the nava
war is the necessity Of powerful flee
Of fighting ships, which can prevent
the command of our seacoast by al
enemy.
The speech Of the President is in re
! freshing contrast to the spread-eagle
oratory habitual to our Congressmer
but he does not avoid the pitfalls
against which he warns US and fail.
to draw from the war of 1872 what i
! perhaps its most salutary lesson.

Prlyate Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought
under the jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce commission. A railroad
president is authority for the statement
that lines are paid mileage, without
discrimination, and the question OF ex-
cessive charges is matter for the ship
per to settle with the car lines, SO long
as there is no law to govern their rates.
Car mileage paying has been decided to
be as legal as the payment of rental foI
property.
