"Peruna has been . blessing TO our
family for q good many years, as we
have all used 1t OF and on for colds and,

children with the best of results.
"I found that . cold left me with
cstarrh Of the head in . very bad form.
My head was stopped mp, L had frontal
headaches, my eyes bothered me, and
there was . nasty dropping In my
throat which nauseated me and made
1t impossible many times for me 70 eat
my breakfast.
GAS soon as began TO use Peruna I
found Il relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and In . remarkably shor.
time was rid of catarrh.

BIG BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS
Plan TO Hold . Monster Meeting In 81.

necessary arrangement can be made
as now seems probable, 1t will be held
The idea OF holding q monster good

Cooley after the meeting recently held
In St. Paul. to which the county com.
missIoners a. well as others interested
In good roads were invited. This meet.
ing showed the widespread interest
taken in the matter throughout the
state. He expected between 100 and

numbers aud showing an active inter

IF the meeting 70 held Il will cover
the Geld thoroughly" said Mr.. Cooley.
"It will be an exposition Of 'roadmak-
ing machinery and materials, with
practical talks by men OF wide expert
ence In the various details OF the work.
In n large meeting of this kind much
better results can be obtained than by
the smaller local meetings because in
such a meeting us we expect to hold
the manufacturers Will have exhibits
OF all kinds of machinery used In road
making, and we can have speakers OF
wide experience at such a meeting
which is impossible for all Of the
smaller meetings. A question box
would be a feature, and through this
means any one confronted by special
problems in roadmaking would be
able to get the advice of the men quail
fed to give 1t.
II have not yet decided definitely on
the plan, but there is a general de-
mand for such a meeting, and If 1t
can possibly be done the plans will be
carried out"
Mr.. CoOley's plan is to eliminate the
"hot air" talks about good roads gen.
orally and to make ii an instructive
meeting by having men go TO st. Par
who know about the practical details
of roadmaking. Those who will 20
will do SO for the purpose of learning
something about the building of good
roads. and 1t is the intention to meet
this expectation fully. The meeting
will probably last one week. The ex.
hibits will cover stone crushers, roa(
rollers, steel and concrete bridge work,
culverts and all sorts of machinery
and material used in road building.

wrong with our national governmental

are few among his party men TO deny
his allegations. And yet it must be
understood that the Republican party
is to blame fer all this During the
