"Peruna is the best medicine for

Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de-
creases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh
ing sleep.
But the value of Feruna in the treat
ment Of case Of consumption is not so
great as it is in the prevention Of con-
sumption.
Since it is we'll known that consump-
ton begins with common cold or ca
tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as preventive OF consumption.
Thousands of cases Of incipient con-

ut is true that there has been
big scarcity of men for the
woods almost all winter. This
scarcity is very apparent at pre-
sent. The camps have large
enough crews to carry on opera
tions with, but in many instances
the crews really should be larger.
Men sent to the cities to hire
lum berjacks have not been meet
ing with very good success, and
orders left with employment
agents are only partly filed, be.
cause of the scarcity of men in
the labor centers.
"Probably the average wage in
thewoods ishigher this year than
it ever was before in the history
of Minnesota. A man who works
steadily all winter in a camp and
saves his money, can come out
in the spring with a wad
that will carry him through until
next Christmas, and then leave
him little cash with which to
purchase Christmas presents.
