WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?


Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer TO Peruna as q
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are rightf
ls 1t more proper to call Peruna q ca
tarrh remedy than TO call it tonicl
Our reply Ia, that Peruna is both q
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectusl oatarrh rem
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
on the circulation, TO give TONE 70 the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENsIE. The wonderful eff
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA q
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes specific REM
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, REIN
forced by such renowned tonics as
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENEIS, COR
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDR0N
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in oil its
stages and locations In the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment Is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.

transportation.
Washington fares better than
most of its neighbors in the matter
of street car courtesy. Not only are
its people more considerate Of each
other, but the railroad employees are
more generally and more consist
emily courteous to the people. A
chief reason is that the railroad
managers expect their men to be
polite. Another reason is that they
do not take discards from street car
lines IN other cities. But the prime
reason is that the patrons of the
roads demand it.
The day the users Of our District
street cars are content to be pushed.

ductors that day win see a decline
in the service they get. For such
things are electric. Servants Of
every class-public, quasi-public,
and private-are quick to see where
they can let down. They are like
wise quick to let down where they
can. Way back at the beginning,
the failure of street car patrons in
Chicago to demand politeness made
such an occurrence as this possible
this year 1907. The damages were
actual and not excessive. But even

The Labor Convention.

The American Federation of La
Dor convention at Norfolk defeated
a proposal to indorse government
ownership of mines and government
ownership of railroads. This or
ganization is already on record rs
favoring government telegraphs and
telephones, but it baked at the
proposition of mines and railroads.
/ 1t is not remarkable that this pro-
pOsal should have been defeated. It
is true that government ownership
Of railroads is the worlds rule, and
private ownership its exception.
Vastly more countries make public
ownership the rule. But the Anglo
Saxon countries are devoted to pri-
vate ownership. They possess about
half the railway mileage of the
world, and so long as they stand for
their present policy, it win not be
possible to say that public owner
ship is established
Yet it is interesting to note that
the closest cousins OF these Anglo
Saxons-that is, our German friends
have gone farthest toward gov
eminent ownership of both these
public benefits. The German policy
is government ownership of rail
roads, and the German attitude to-
ward mines is most suggestive. 1t
is seriously proposed to require that
no privately owned coal mine shall
hereafter be opened. Mines now
owned by private individuals or cor
porations may continue to operate,
but hereafter coal must be regarded
as a public utility, and private inter
ests viii not be permitted "a de-
velop it.
The fact that one Of the most
conservative governments in Europe
is committed to public ownership of
mines, while the most radical eIe-
meHt in America-organized labor
declines to commit itself to such
scheme, seems to suggest in most
interesting fashion the distinctive
difference between this country and
Europe. The truth is that this is
the most conservative country in
the world.

Heroes in Motor Boats.

Anything that can make the work
of the life-saving stations along our
Eastern coast more effective should
be adopted. Up to date the eff
ficiency of the stations has depended
largely upon the heroic character
and physical endurance of the men
themselves. Now a movement is
under way to equip the stations
with motor boats.
Experiments have been in prog
ress for several months, it seems,
and favorable reports are reaching
Washington. So, in the immediate
future, at least one boat at each
station is to be run with a gasolene
motor, and the expectation is that
within a comparatively short time
the use of oars viii be abandoned
except In emergencies.
If the scheme works well il will
give new value to the admirable ac-
tivities of the life-saving corps. It
viii not mean any lowering of
standards, for only brave and hardy
men viii ever be fitted for the haz-
ardOus occupation, but it viii mean
an improved expanding Of strength
and the consequent saving of more
lives. Crews win arrive at wrecks
in better shape to lend a hand to
imperiled Sailors, and the trips to
and from stranded ships can be
made in faster time. A minute of
time and an ounce of strength may
count for a human life in a hard
blow when the breakers are smash
ing a vessel to pieces.

Grain Inspection.

Senator McCumber is authority
for the statement that the Presi-
dent is going to include in his mes
sage a demand for Federal grain
inspection. It viii be regarded as
one of the minor and incidental
matters suggested by the Execu-
tive; yet, in fact, it viii deserve
most serious attention.
The demand for Federal grain in
spection has been growing in force
and earnestness for years. 1t
should be recognized not only be-
cause the present system of inspec-
ton is an injustice to American pro-
ducers as against the grain mer-
chants, but because it harms Amer
lea as against other grain-growing
countries
The truth is that American grain
inspection commands no confidence
anywhere. The farmer who pro-
duces the grain in Senator McCum-
ber's State does not believe the in
spector at Minneapolis or Duluth is
honest. The buyer of the grain at
a foreign market likewise does not
accept the American appraisal.
And further than this, it may be
added that the American farmer
and the foreign buyer are both
right. The American system Of
grain appraisal is dishonest, dishon-
orable, and a species of robbery.
The grain which the farmer brings
to the elevator is undergraded. TIE
grain which the elevator owner sends
abroad is overgraded. The elevator
owner and grain merchant rob the
farmer on one side by underpaying
him, and they rob the foreign buyer
on the other side by overgrading
the grain he gets. The national COM
mercial honor is sacrificed abroad,
and the farmer is squeezed at home
II is wrong, and should be reformed.

Dear at the Price.

Street car riders have been fol-
lowing a case out in Illinois with a
great deal of interest. Lately they
have had a chance to glory in the
outcome. An outline of it will find
reading even here in Washington.
A woman passenger was entering
car of the Union Traction Com
pany in Chicago. It was crowded,
and in the jam at the door her
transfer was brushed out of her
hand. A number of others saw the
accident, and told the conductor of
it. That functionary not only put
the poor woman off the car, but
garnished the job with vulgar com
ment.
In the trial court the jury award
ed the woman 81 200 damages. The
case went to the State supreme
court, of course, and there the rail
road pleaded that the plaintiff had
received no physical injury, and
that, accordingly, the verdict was ex-
eessive. But the higher court was
apparently not much impressed. 1t
held that there was injury from in
suit as well as from physical as
sault; that passengers are entitled
not only TO transportation but to
courtesy, and that it is the duty of
the carrier to see that its patrons
