still less appreciate that there are

Such ones are they who come near

men who cannot agree on moral. re-

Clean Up Once a Year.

CLEANING up the body in the spring
~ is duty everyone owes to himself
Face powders may hide a rough skin,
but Peruna helps to produce a skin that
need not be hidden.
The source of good blood is good d.
gestion. Peruna aids digestion.
Those people who have regular bodily
functions have clear and delicate skin.
Peruna helps to restore these functions.
Most skin deformities depend upon
systemic arrangements, which cannot
be corrected by local treatments.
Peruna is n systemic remedy, reorcan-
ling and regulating the whole body.

started on the rounds of the press:
A certain well-known Judge was once
violently attacked by young and very
impudent counsel. To the surprise of
every one the judge heard him right
through and made no reply. After adj
Journment, and when all were assembled
at the hotel where the judge and many
of the court folk had their refreshments,
some one asked the Judge why he did
not rebuke the impertinent fellow.
Permit me" said the Judge. ''to tell
you little story. My father, when he
lived in the country, had dog-a mere
puppy, may say. Well, this puppy
would go out every moonlight night and
bark at the moon for hours together. :"
The judge paused as if he had finished.
well, what of that?' exclaimed half
a dozen of the audience at once. ooh.
nothing nothing; but the moon kept on
shining just as if nothing had happened. 4"
The anecdote is pertinent to many
phases of life, to none more applicable
than the criticism those in the higher
walks of civil, religious and political
life are subjected to by their interiors

IT is an old story, how the coun
try is being fleeced by the stock lob
bers in boosting grain when tn,
farmer has no grain to sell, makins
the consumer pay inflated prices
The CITIZEN has for years been cry
ing against this infamous outrage tc
the public, and of course the theme
loses none of its potency by the recent
enunciation of William j. Bryan
Read what he said, in part, to the
trade brokers "There has been a
great deal of misun Outstanding be.
tween the farmers and those en-
gagged in trade aud transportation.
We must get together. The farm
er is at the foundation of all
wealth. Trade is essential to prog.
ress, and the farmer knows it. There
is no feeling of dislike on their part
to those with whom they have trade
relations. They have need of you,
gentlemen. and they know it. But
they hold, in the economy of things,
that you must furnish them certain
things for just compensation-they
want You to let competition settle
the amount of compensation. As a
Western farmer, i want to voice the
complaint of the Western farmers
against the form of gambling in
some of your organizations. Specu.
iating In the necessaries of life is q
serious thing. and when by betting
for instance, on wheat-if the
price of wheat is lowered, the farmer
is hurt, and if the price is advanced;
the man who buys the flour is hurt
You seem to distinguish between
gambling and speculatlng in a way
which amuses the Western farmer.
A man who bets on the turn of q
card, You call gambler, and the
man who steals railroad, YOU call
a financier."
