IRRIGATION CONGRESS-
To Be Held in September is ArOuSinO Considerable Interest Throughout
 the West

m all SeCUOnS or tne west IINSD interest Is being aroused In the coming Interstate Exposition of Irrigated Land Products and Forestry Products, to be held In Sacramento in September, In connection with the fifteenth session of the National Irrigation Congress. All those eligible to enter the numerous competitive displays for costly and handsome trophies, hung up by the management of the exposition, are ar ranging for an adequate exhibit of cer- calls. fruits, vegetables and other prod ucts of irrigated land and forestry products In the several departments of the exposition. Inquiries are pouring In at headquarters from many states for information and particulars con- cernlng conditions and terms of the contest. That the display will exceed in magnitude and importance all pre- vlous attempts in that direction, Is a foregone conclusion. The keen inter est shown by those most vltally con cerned leaves no doubt upon the sub ject.
 Among the first to apply for space and facilities for state display in the interstate exposition Is Utah. The legislature last winter appropriated $4000 to cover the expense of having Utah properly represented In the expo sItion. and no stone Is being left un- turned to have the wishes of that body carried out to the letter.
 Messrs. Thomas Judd and ] Ed ward Taylor, president and secretary of the Utah State Board of Horticul- ture, were in Sacramento last week to arrange matters in this connection. They looked over the ground thor oughly and completed preliminary work for the state display before re turning to Salt Lake.
 Mr. Judd, speaking of their visit, said Mr. Taylor and myself are here to make some arrangements for the Utah exhibit to be held in connec- ton with the fifteenth National lrriga- ton Congress. We are certainly well pleased with the energetic manner in which the details for the exposition and the congress are being arranged and the splendid facilities Sacramento ar lords for such an undertaking. It is a well recognized fact that California Is one of the best advertised states in the Union as far as agriculture and horti- culture are concerned. She has es- abolished reputation for having done great deal along these lines and the leading horticulturIsts and agriculturists of the country will look forward with much pleasure and interest to a visit to your state.
 We are especially we'll pleased with the very kind reception given us by the chairman of the executive committee and other members of the local man. agement who have the work in charge. These men are to be congratulated up on the very liberal policy they have adopted In inviting other states 10 ex- hibt and in offering many valuable trophies for competition The fact that California is going to take no ac- tive part in the prize competition Is es- peclally commendable and assures all other states impartial treatment. The coming session is attracting consider abe attention in Utah and everthing indicates that there will be a strong delegation from our section of the

Pe-ru-na a Compound

In any medical compound as much de- bends upon the manner in which it is compounded as upon the ingredients used.
 First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopeia has it's special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the com, pound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined.
 In compounding catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years expert, ence. In the use of the various ingre, dients which compose the catarrh rem, edy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peouliarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists.
 WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DE- TENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES.
 Thecompound mustpresentastabilit which is not affected by changes oftem. perature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics.
 A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of it's peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy.
 However much virtue each ingredi. ent of Peruna may possess, the value ot the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined.
