CHILDREN IN NOVEL
CAMPAIGN AGAINST DIRT

Aberdeen, S. D., June 22.-The city
cleaning fever laid hold of Aberdeen
with a vengeance as demonstrated yes
terday by the campaign vigorously
opened by probably 1000 children under
guidance of the "City Beautiful COM

clubs.
A small army of children gathered at
four stations mas many parts of the
city and under the direction of older
people scattered about the district apA
pointed cleaning up vacant lots and al
leys. Everything unsightly was picked
up, deposited In baskets and after
wardC dumped into waiting wagons,
which, conveyed this refuse to the city
dump. The day was known as Tin
Cam day, but not tin cans alone were
7 attended to. Inspectors went over the
ground with flags and when the flags
were waved, a squad to youngsters
would hasten there and remove the
filth, for the dropping Of the flag was
a signal that that was a particularly
bad spot
AT noon those in the squad went
to the auditorium where a general
luncheon was served by the women OF
the federation, the business men of the
city supplying the necessary food. The
federation has offered good prizes for
the best gardens, and business and pro-
fessional men are backing up with

men to clean TIE city and keep 1t

True Cause of Disease.

TN these days almost every ailment 10
i supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession rs well as the
people, seem to have gone mad over the
germ theory Of disease.
The universal fear and dread Of din.
ease germs Is becoming very serious
matter to the welfare and happiness Of
the people.
DR.. Hartman has consistently con.
tended through all the rise and spread
Of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon.
sible for more than one-half Of the ills
to which human beings are subject.
Danger OF Neglected Colds.
A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about it, negiecfs II, when it
finally becomes settled in some organ
Of the body, and chronic disease Is tho
result.
A few doses OF Peruna in the begin.
ming of the cold would have saved
months of suffering, as well as great ex-
pense for treatment.
Peruna Is q reliable relief for cold.
Almost every body knows this.
Instead Of trying to dislodge or XIII
some imaginary germ, il Peruna was
used at the proper time its tonic proper
tiles and anti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince the patient that he has
found the right remedy.
A multitude Of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use it
whenever cold or climatic affections as.
sail, and sickness in the household will
become greatly lessened, it not entirely
prevented.
Catarrh OF the Stomach.
Mr.. Christian Holman, r. r. D. |,
Slatington, Pa, writes:
"For many years I suffered with ca.
cafarrh of the stomach. was coughing
day and night. After having tried
three doctors and many remedies, one of
your almanacs came to my hand, and
bought some Peruna. So far I have
taken six bottles, and I have not suf-
fered with cdfarrh this summer. am
cured and Peruna did it. L give Peruna
to my children when they feel bad and
you should see how healthy they are"
Nose, Throat and Stomach.
Mr.. Delbert B. Craft, Lowell, Ind,
writes:
"For long time I suffered with
chronic catarrh of the nose, throat and
stomach. l would continually take
cold and my stomach was in bad condi-
ton. truly suffered untold misery. I
took various medicines and tried the
treatment Of several physicians, but 1
felt no better. A friend advised me to
take Peruna. wrote to DR.. Hartman,
who prescribed treatment. AS soon a.
commenced to take Peruna was sur.
prised at the relief it gave me. kept on
taking it until had taken thirteen bet-
lies and was cured"

Mr.Charles Brown, Rogersville, Tenn.
writes:
81 feel it my duty to write you few
words in praise of your Peruna. / have
tried many different remedies, but have
found that Peruna is the greatest tonic
on earth, and perfect system builder.
"a friend advised me to take Peruna
for Indigestion, and it cured me in a
short time. l was very weak and
nervous, could sleep but little at night,
but Peruna cured that tired, dH.g0ne
feeling, and made me feel like new

will give new life ard energy. l can
not speak too highly Of Peruna, and will
not forget to recommend it on every
hand. l will answer any letter from
those desiring to know what Peruna has
done for me-"
Systemic Catarrh.

Chicago, H., writes:
81 am glad to give good word for
Peruna, and l hope that all who see
this who are troubled with systemic ca.
farrf1 as L was for years, will profit by
it. l had tried many remedies, but none
did more than give me temporary relief
and some did not even do that. 1 took
Peruna at the suggestion of a friend and
was more than pleased and surprised at
the results. I am now perfectly well
