MIR. c. b. FIzER. Mt. Sterling, KY,
1V1 writes:
az have suffered with kidney and
other trouble for ten years past.
Last March I commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months.
1 have not used it since, nor have l felt
a pain.
II believe that I am well and I there
fore give my highest commentator to
the curative qualities of Peruna."
Pe.ru.na For Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. H.. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can, writes
years. I had kidney trouble, and. In.
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
This summer l got SO very bad /
thought l would try Peruna, so l wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
ST took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now l feel
better than 1 ave for some time.
II feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made a different woman of me
altogether. l bless the day 1 picked up
the little book and read of your Peruna."
Its the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. They are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly the sort of a rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at Il time when they were not able
TO bear their own burdens.

FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to
Fields Where Raw Material 10
Produced.

Economy in every industry is be-
coming more pronounced year after
year. Manufacturing centers are drift
ing toward locations where the raw
materials can be secured at lower
cost. During the past ten years cot
ton manufacturing in the south has
Increased more than a hundred per
cent. n there has been a decrease
in the production of textile manufac-
turing centers in the New England
states in proportion to the increase in
consumption. A score of years ago
the great -four manufacturing centers
were in New York and other eastern
states. To-day the west controls man
ufactures of flour and cereal foods.
When mills are located in centers of
wheat and corn producing sections in
number sufficient to utilize the crops
of local territory. it will work a bene'
fit to the farmers of the land in the
saving of what is now paid in freight
rates or raw products to manufactur.
ing centers, and the distribution cost
to consumers of the land. Every farm
er can help better conditions and help
himself by giving his support to local
manufacturing enterprises.

An Advertising Trick.

Every reader of newspapers who
has the power of observation knows
the deception practiced in advertis-
ing. Often a fine picture Of a stove
or some other article has in large
figures a price giveu which is a third
of what the real worth of the article
is, and the rest of the advertisement
so skillfully worded as to give the i'm.
preston that 1t is the article illus
trated that is sent for the low price,
This is for the purpose of securing
an order for an article which. when
received is found to be far different
from what the person who sent the
order expects to receive. How would
the home merchant fare should he
advertise in the same manner? Would
he not be placed on the list of trick
sters?

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
Are Factors in the Enlightenment Of
the People.

This is an era when the business
man who would succeed must place
the right value upon publicity. This
is the most enlightened era the world
has ever known. Only a small per
centage of the people. particularly
among the English speaking. cannot
read and write, and in fact it is a rare
thing to find an illiterate person in
any American community.
In every farmers house can be
ound from n to a dozen newspa
pers and periodicals.
The old-style farmer is fast passing.
and there is a general admission that
intelligence, in fact scientific training
is needed on the farm as well as in
the business house n factory. With
telephones, daily rural delivery serv-
ice and every innovation of civiliza-
ton, the American farmer is fast be-
coming noted among the educated and
advanced classes. They are readers,
thinkers and logicians. Growing gen.
erations in agricultural communities
have all the advantages that the youth
of cities have. and few of the disad.
vantages, They surely breathe a
healthier moral atmosphere. The
farmers are the main support Of the
country press. They feel interested
in all local affairs, and the home pa.
per is the means of keeping them in.
formed Of things going on immediate
ly about them. If the average mer-
chant would give as substantial sup
port to the home paper as does the
farmer. the editor would o only be
enabled to give the farmer a better
paper. represent his interests better.
but the merchant would receive a ben.
eft in seeing his town improve and
its business increased, and all his
environments improved.

FOOL THE PEOPLE
MOTTO OF "GET-RIcH-oUicK"
MEN AND FAkIRs.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get Something for Moth
ing" Is Played Upon-Exercise
Of Common Sense Would
End Graft.

You IA fool some of the people
part of the time. but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time" seems to be a motto
of the get-rich-quick men and gold
brick operators. Pages OF the daily
and weekly press may be filed with
warnings to readers to be on the look
out for swindlers. yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right IN biting at bats thrown out to
them by various %ncern who sell
cats in bags"
Psychologists say that every person
has a weak spot somewhere in the
brain. 1t seems that this softness is
commonly manifested in false reason
ing that frequently n can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part of the majority, the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think of a graft" like this
that will draw $500 worth of soap or
ders in a single month from a town
of 10000 people! But this is just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think of wives of
grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities Joining soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each month to a for
eign concern Just to secure a pre-
MUM, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power of the
something for nothing" argument. If
the Creator gave these women COM
mon sense. they little know how to
utilize it.
Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the n
Germs in foreign cities that seek to
do business directly with consumers
through the mails. AT present they
are protected by the interstate COM
merce law. These concerns make
their money by dealing with h peo.
pie of some community, where they
pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants of the town are
taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for
eign insurance companies doing bust
ness in a state must pay a license fee
for so doing. Why not compel the
foreign mercantile to do the
same? Our national laws should be
so constructed as to provide that
there be a tax on the amount of bust
ness transacted in a state by any
mercantile nee in another state.
unless the business be transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
, state for the doing of such business.

Grafton. In the manufacture Of stoves
and ranges particularly is there great
opportunity for fraud. In different
cities of the middle west are large
concerns that make a specially of
manufacturing stoves to supply deal

cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers all classes of old
iron, n this remeited and worked

featured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while 1t ap-
pears to be all right, a few months
use will prove it to be almost worth
less. The tensile strength is not
there. the metal is rotten and brittle.
n the expansion caused by the heat
makes it warp and crack. The Innings
are of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed is the

thousands of cans are in use. The
ammonia that is used in the process
of freezing soon causes the cans to

stove manufacturing concerns buy VI
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. 1t can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way

Transmission Of Warts,

Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts r COM
municable is warranted" says a
writer. "Inoculation Of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of a similar ex-
~crescence. 1t is thought that these
growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is u the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events, persons who have warts should
take measures to have them removed
