Is Pe-ru-na Useful
 for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted ta any medical ex- pert, of whatever school oi nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one ofthem was ofun- doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis eases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most eficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
 Peruna brings to the home the CON- BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat .nent of catarrhal diseases; brings to he home the scientific skill and knowl- edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last but notleast brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, inthe use of fcatarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
 The fact is, chronic eatarrh is dis ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na- ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure chem. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them.
 BUT HEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF.
 Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied direct lyto the people, and no more be charged for it than ii necessary for the handling oft.
 No other household remedy 70 uni- versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

Be of good cheer" are blessed words that come ringing down to us through many centuries as the burden of the message of the lowly Nazarene, the Great Teacher. We should take this injunction as the guide of our lives. Carry a message of good cheer wherever you go; don't be shadow on the life of any man. It is not right to darken landscape that otherwise would be cheerful. Instead of worry. ing about. shortcomings O. the past lay stress on the good things that have come to pass.

Even young and healthy trees are continually dropping off leaves and twigs. These are the rejected things that are not for the well-being of the tree life. In the same measure, any sort of an organization will rom time to time cast of various eNcressences that are useless or burdensome.

It is well at all times to remember that it is the local Union that is of importance 10 you. You should be personally present at every meeting to see that there is the right sort of business going on.

Anything that will add to the sum of human benefit. is naturally part of the business of the Farmers Union. and for this reason every good Union man will be found, both as an indiyid- ual and as q Union man, on the side of the moral uplift. He is always striving for the things that will make for the betterment of his fellow men.
 The time has long since passed for any sane person to argue about the need of the Farmers Union The only person that needs any arguing with now is the fellow who has not time to attend the meetings It might be well to argue with him with an elm club.

The fact is. the Union has no eme- mics, or al least mighty few. It is no doubt true that there are some who have sought for place or power and have fallen down in their ambitions Some of these have little enough sense and manhood to want to destroy what they cannot control. but these are few, and of comparatively little influence. That man who has little or no influence inside of the order will have but little more outside of it.

More and more We see the growing need Of some new land-holding system. thousands upon thousands of acres of land have been grabbed by speculat- ors and land ndgrabbers and held until the settlement of adjoining lands have made them vastly yaluable,- and then sold at outrageous prices to men who had to have land the original owners having done nothing to make them valuable, and having gotten them simply because they happened to get there first.

The Farmers Union IS not in poli- tics. in the partisan sense, but it is in politics all the time, in the sense that 1t is the farmer who pays the freight" and Is entitled to the deliv- cry of the goods he pays for.

The partisan vote of the members of the Union is q matter for each individual 10 settle for himself and is a matter that the Un- ion will not meddle with.
