DO WE FULLY APPRECIATE M

Everyone of US ought to train our
selves to be close observers of Nature.
That means the ground at our feet as
well as the sky overhead or the trees
and birds, fowls, fishes and animals.
The gift of observation, how few peo-
pie have it. why, / didn't notice
that, - says one, or How did you come
to see all this?" says another. John
Burroughs well says: Mature comes
home to one most when he is at home;
the stranger and traveller finds her a
stranger and traveller Also" We do
not need to go far to see vast amount
than we have never seen. 1t is good
to learn to see things.
It is said in Texas that the n ost GER
tain indication of what the Ues Their will
be is afforded by the ants. When the
day promises to be fair to them, they
bring their eggs up out of the under
ground cells and expose them to the
warmth Of the sun to be Matched. But
when they are seen carrying them in
again, the Texas people are certain
there will be a storm soon, even though
the day is fair and not cloud in sight.
Who ever heard of an Indian being lost
in the forest? Heis an observer and he
reads the open book that is spread out
before him. We never knew of farm
er being successful who was not a close
observer of plants and animals. - Gov
arnor Hoard

Describes the Principal Ingredients
OF Pe-ru-aa.
Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa wher we claim it TO be an efee-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh2 Have
we abundant proof that PeruDa is in
reality such a catarrh remedy2 Let
US see what the United States Dispen-
satory says Of the principal ingred-
tents of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis caiadensis, or golden seal
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is large
ly employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis nasal catarrh) J, atomic dyspep-
sis teatarrh cf che stomach, chronic
intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundics
lcatarrh of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory.
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. Isused
as a treatment for chronic constitu-
tional diseases and scrofula.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found IN
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as
snbsci for quinine.
These are not all of the medicinal
ingredients Peruna contains. Suffice
it to say that it is a compound of
herbal remedies, each one of whic,;
has, from time to time, been recon-
mended by physicians of all schools,
for different catarrhal conditions
If you want to klfsw what the peo-
pie say send to us for free book Of
testimonials of what the people think
of Peruna as catarrh remedy. After
all has been said. the best evidence for
or against any remedy is the testi.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Viroqua People Have Done
So

When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakeable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer
ing may be saved. Sick kidneys expel
dark, ill-smelling urine, full of ''brick-
dust" sediment and painful passage.
Sluggish kidneys cause dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches, dizzy
spells, tired, lanquid feelings and fire.
quently rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys, and
rid the blood of uric poison. 1t you
suffer from any of the above symptoms
you can use no better remedy.
Viroqua people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pill.
G. c. Brown, living on Court ST., /
Viroqua, Wis, says: 81 have takenl
Doan's Kidney Pills and was pleased
with the results that followed their use.
| had severe pains in my back and loins
which prevented ne from getting my
proper rest at right. My kidneys were
very irregular in action and the secre-
tons gave me great deal of annoy
ance on account of their too frequent
action. Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought TO my attention, and pro-
cured a box at A. j. Johnson's drug
store. They helped me from the first,
continued using them, my kidneys
are now regular and normsl in action
and the pains in my back and loins have
disappeared. Doan's Kidney Pills have
been very beneficial to me and do not
hesitate to recommend them to others
suffering from kidney trouble.

In the days of Pepys the valentine"
was of value, and he tells how the
lady, Miss Frances Stuart, whose por-
trait is still Britannia on our coinage,
being this year valentine to the Duke
of York. the duke gave her jewel
worth $500" Next year she was lucky
enough TO receive a ring worth f300
from lord Vaudeville. But the val,
entine was ruined by print when the
press turned out lyrics and lace paper,

Eau Claire Telegram; The agitation
in Wisconsin in regard to water-power,
the rights of the state and the rights
of private owners, can do no harm. 1t
win do good. The fears of those who
cry out that capital will be driven away
and that private property is to be con-
fiscated are groundless. They may rest
assured that the advertising of Wis
consin's resources is beneficial and also
bear in mind that it is very plain and
obvious proposition that the state will
exercise no more power than it pos
sesses under organic law. AS much as
that it is the duty of the state authori-
ties to exercise.
