Important Decision by Interstate
Commerce Com mission.

Washington, Jan. 1&-One OF the most important
decisions rendered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for many months was handed down
to-day by Commissioner Clark in the case OF the
Bovaird Supply Company against the Atchison, To-
peka &. Santa Fe Railway and other carriers. The
decision involves a discussion OF the commissions
views respecting the long and short haul clause
Of the interstate commerce act. and the commits
sion tells why it cannot always approve a lower
rate for a short haul than for longer one In the
same territory.
The complainant ships rope cable from San Fran
cisco TO Independence. KAN on which 70 cents a
hundred pounds is charged whereas the rate on
such rope cables from San Francisco 10 Mississippi
River and Chicago common points is only 90 cents

under the circumstances. the rate was not unjust
or pretudicial TO the complainant The following
important findings of interest 10 shippers and car
riers throughout the country were announced:

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should a list Of the ingredients of Pc.
runa be submitted TO any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one fthem was ofun-
doubted value In chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience IN the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peru1a IS composed ofthe most
eficaeious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every Ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure ofsome phase Of eatarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE IN the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and howl-
edge fthe modern pharmacist; and last
butnotleast, brings to the home thevast
and varied experience Of Dr.. Hartman,
intheuse of catarrh remedies, and N the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic eatarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the na-
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made On large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea il
that this remedy can besupplisd direct

for it than Is necessary for ths
handling oft.
