During the month of September the
drinking water, especially Of cities, is
apt to be polluted.
To supply water to a large number
Of people, rivers and lakes must neces-
sarily be drawn upon.
These places become more or. less
stagnant during September. Hence
the water is impure.
The result is a prevalence of Typhoid
fever and bowel diseases.
The natural and surest remedy is to
change from polluted to pure drinking
water.
This can not always be done, how
ever. Many people are wholly de-
pendent upon such drinking water as
the city may furnish.
Their systems are therefore con-
taminated with disease germs. Some
of the people so contaminated fall easy
prey to disease. Such people are those
who happen to be in a weakened con-
dition, or who are suffering from
slight catarrhal conditions of the mu-
cous membranes of the bowels.
Therefore it follows that in cases
where the use of contaminated water
is unavoidable, the next best thing is to
put the system in such a condition as
to resist the action of disease germs

sticknex Gives II In

A. B. Stiekney. president Of the. Chi
cago Great Western. has abandoned his
attempt to compile tariffs complying
strictly with what he conceives to be
the requirements of the new Hepburn
rate law. Mr. Sticl<ney for several weeks
has been giving his personal attention
to the matter and been working with
his traffic men and rate clerks to com
pile tariffs that would show the rate
and classification on shipments from
every station on his road to every other
station and to every possible destina-
ton in the country and vice versa The
task proved too great. He has reached
the conclusion that strict compliance
with the letter of the law is an impossi-
bihty and has decided with the Off
Gals of other roads generally, that the
interstate commerce commission will
have to place a reasonable interpreta-
ton on this provision Of the law before
the roads can discover what is actually
required of them.

A multitude OF people have come to
rely upon Peruna to do this very thing.
Peruna produces clean, healthy mu-
cOus membranes. These protect the
internal organs from the encroach-
ments Of disease.
Peruna produces q regular, vigorous
circulation of the blood. This gives
vitality to withstand the depressing In
huences of September weather.
In this way the system Is fortified
against the inevitable season OF dry
weather, low reservoirs and stagnant
water.
Mr. silas Vigil. Berthoud. Colo.
writes:

My boy (Elin). 1s months old. was

covery.
'At that critical moment I wrote to
you about his case. I followed your

acted wonderfully and quickly.
IN three days we had the pleasure
of seeing him smile for the first time
in a month. Peruna is our favorite
medicine now

NO PASSES FOR LAND MEN.
Pest Immigration Agents VIII Be En-
Dloyed by Southwest Roads.

ST. Louis. Sept 15-At a meeting
yesterday Of the Missouri Pacific immi-
senger Agent Payne, of the Missouri
Pacific & Iron Mountain system. said
that no free transportation viii be is
sued to immigration agents after jan
uary I. This announcement is in con-
formity with provisions of the new in
terstate commerce act.
All the southwestern roads will con-
tinue issuing passes to immigration
agents until January l. Most of the
southeastern, northern and northwest
ern lines discontinued the practice on
August %. It is predicted that nearly
all the roads which are interested in
developing their territory viii solve the
problem raised by the law by employ
ing the best of the immigration agents
in regular service.
There are about $50 members of the
bureau present. at the annual meeting.
After Mr.. Payne who is also president
Of the bureau, declared that the issu-
ance of free transportation would be
stopped, the. bureau unanimously voted
to continue in existence and carry on
its work with the same energy as here
tofore. It is the sense of the meeting
that settlement and development Of the
west and southwest are matters of such
Importance to the country that the
withdrawal of free transportation
should not Interfere with the iabors and
policy.
At the afternoon session the follow
ing officers were elected: 3. H. Payne,
president; George N. Heard, Arkansas,
vice president ". c. Dunlap, st. Louis,
secretary, and ". Crouch, St. Louis,
treasurer. The following directors were
reelected: Fred J. Gould, Missouri E.
J. Hamley, Louisiana, and D. D. Smith.
Iowa. w. c. Barnes, general imnigra-
ton agent of the Missouri Pacific &,
iron Mountain system, was reappointed
manager of the bureau.
William Jennings Bryan addressed the
bureau at the morning session. John
Carr, Of Lincoln, Neb-; George NJ.
Heard, Of Little Rock, Ark, and ". +.
Cleveland, of Iowa, escorted him to
Druid's hall, where the meeting was in
progress.

Trade, crop and Industrial reports

are an accomplished fact and terminal

Europe do not point to as large an out
