GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago, a farmer, put his ihi-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

Hopes for Cooperation.

Buffalo, N. Y. = That the public
has complete right to regulate the
railroads was admitted Thursday
night by w. C.. Brown, senior vice
president of the New York Central
lines. Mr.. Brown discussed the rail
road question at a banquet given by
the chamber of commerce. Governor
Hughes also was a speaker.
Speaking of contemplated improve
ments in railroad facilities Mr.. Brown
said:
UNLESS assurances can be had not

ing at abuses-but of friendly COOP
Grafton of protection and aid in ev-
cry fair and legitimate manner against
oppression and injustice; of such
guarantee as the government can give
of protection from legislation which
will prevent earning reasonable re-
turn of money invested and a fair
participation in increased values and
general prosperity which investments
of this character aid in promoting,
1t is going to be impossible for the
railroads TO obtain money necessary
for such improvements and extern
sions.
1T is doubtful if in the history of
the United States and upon any great
national question or Issue, public
opinion has been so moulded and di-
rected by the president as it has in
the consideration of and attitude to-
wards the great transportation inter
ests. This powerful influence has
been exerted fearlessly and force
fully in correcting abuses by the rail-
roads and. I believe it will be- exerted
just as fearlessly and effectually
in protecting the railroads from
Injustice.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine Dusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas.
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural Outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the BEGIN
ming, some enterpTising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
it mp, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before II
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbers and his patients.
The sale ct it increased, and at last he
established = mandatory and fur
nished It te the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, eolds,
sore threat, brsnehitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PFRBKA and its value Ia the
treatment sf these ailments. They
