"Peruna is certainly valuable nerve
and blood remedy, calculated to build
up the broken-down health of worn out
women. have found by personal ex-
pcrience that it acts as wonderful re-
storer of lost strength, assisting the
stomach to assimilate and digest the
food, and building uo worn-out tissues.
In my work l have had occasion to
recommend it freely, especially to
women.

build up the strength ofa young mother,
in fact, all the ailments peculiar to
women, so I am pleased to give it my
hearty endorsement"

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Governor 8uchtel Explains Its Pro-
visions to Denver Voters.


Denver-Five congregations of
churches in the Twelfth ward were
represented Sunday night in the South
Broadway Christian church to hear
Gov. II. A. Buchtel explain the working
of the local option law. The largest
audience that South Broadway church
has held for some time was present,
every available inch Of space being oc'
cupied.
AS Governor Buchtel said. the law is
a splendid one, but not self-operative'
The people must put it into effect be-
fore the officers of the law can en-
force it. For this reason the governor
himself undertook to explain it.
great many inquiries had been re-
ceived, he said, from around the state
asking If one county could vote itself
dry. This could not be done, he said,
for the reason that the individuals OF
community have the right to regu'
late their own affairs to certain eX'
tent. He has submitted all questions
to the attorney general and this opin'
ion was returned to him.
For that reason town. may elect
to stay wet II it so desires, although
the rest of the county is dry. The vot-
ers of the Twelfth ward, he said
would have to decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to vote the
whole ward dry and have the pre-
cincts that wish to remain wet stay so,
If they can show that majority OF
the taxpayers of that precinct wish to
remain wet, or whether they will elm
mate these precincts before election
and not vote upon them at all.
The local option bill has ward sub
division vote and this is one of the re-
suits. However. to prove that ward
subdivision is regarded as the best
method of voting upon the anti-saloon
proposition he told of Governor Folk S
effort to secure it in Missouri. After
an anti-saloon bill had been passed
there, Governor Folk called special
session of the Missouri legislature to
secure ward subdivision but was un-
successful.
On the drug store question he de-
clared Colorado had law which can
not be bettered The provision of the
Kelly bill, brought before the legisla-
ture, was Incorporated in the Drake
bill on this phase of the subject. 1t
pense Intoxicating liquors unless the
liquor is sold by licensed pharmacist
upon the order of a licensed practicing
physician, and that the prescription be
used only once Both these persons
are licensed by the state and hence
under the control of the state SO that
their licenses may be revoked if they
attempt to evade the law. Also fine
of from 500 to 5000 or Imprisonment
for thirty days may be imposed for
violations of the law. A second offense
provides for fine of from 5000 TO $500
and Imprisonment.
In order to vote a precinct wet after
it has been voted dry those favoring
a wet precinct must go through the
same formula prescribed for making it
dry. so that once dry it will always be
dry in Governor Buchtel's opinion,
Forty per cent of the voters, he de-
clared. would never dare to put their
names to petition asking that the
vote be revoked.
