MOUNTAIN OF BORAX IN
HEART OF DEATH VALLEY
Mount BIaneo of Desert Is the
Greatest of All

With the exception of the Grand
canyon, there is probably no more ia
nous locality in the west than Death
valley. known as the vale below the
sea- and although there are a num-
Der of Mount Blancos in the Great
American desert, the Mount BIanco Of
Death valley is the greatest of its
name
1t rises like an enormous white
breast against the terra Gotta ridge of
Funeral range. close to Furnace Creek
canyon, a great rent that cleaves the
east rampant of Death valley. Around
it is a rolling waste of bald yellow
hills, none of which is a mere knoll.
and 1T towers a good 1000 feet above
them. The lowland of Death valley.
sinking for several miles westward. is
probably $500 feet lower.

WEED CUTTING IN EGYPT
BY USE OF MOTOR BOAT
How the Canals and Waterways
Are Speedily Cleared

In Egypt an enormous amount of
trouble and expense has been caused
by the weeds and other vegetable
growths. which spread so rapidly as
to choke canals and other waterways
in a few days.
Clearing by hand has been found
impossible in one district. so a motor
boat has been equipped with unique
weed cutter and placed in service. The
cutting attachment consists of a pair
of shaped knives. with sharp and
powerful blades. worked by belt from
the propeller shaft
They trail along the bottom of the
waterway, cutting the growth of at
the roots. 1t is said that the little
boat will clear as much as FIVE acres

the detention home bond issue and. as | am

ments. l further made a private investiga-
ton Of my own. l questioned Ofncer Scott
OF the Boys and Girls aid society whom /
have known for more than % years and in
whose judgment in such matters l have much
confidence.
Our committee reported unanimously against
the bond issue. while we are in favor Of the
Juvenile court and detention home. we
think that modest building at cost of
about $50 ooo and not to exceed $4,000. is
ample and would answer all the purposes OF de-
tention and transmission required.
We agree with you that the construction OF
huge building with six large dornitories
81 private rooms, etc, would tend to stimu-
late arrests, 10 increase the number Of en-
ployes and 10 turn the Institution into
permanent prison or Jail.

we think. that the increased expenses re-
suiting from the proposed huge building
would go far beyond the s40O0 allowed by
the act OF the legislature. and. that if the
building is once constructed, provision viii be

Are Drugs Necessary?
 Do Drugs Cure Disease?
 Can Nature be Assisted?

If a person would correct his habits persist in right eating and temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach would right itself, the blood would rid itself of the poison, and rything would be right. But as said before there are a multitude of people who will not or can- not adopt right methods of living. To such people Peruna is boon. A dose before meals will assist the stomach to do its work. This prevents fermenta- tion of the food, brings about normal digestion, and all the train of ills that follow indigestion disappear.
 In other words, Peruna is helpful to those who live badly, or those who have acquired some chronic weakness Peruna does not cure, but it assists the powers of Nature to bring about cure
 The whip does not increase the power of the horse to pull a load, but judi. ciously used it stimulates the horse to use his powers at the right time, with. out which he could not have pulled the load.
 This illustrates the effect of Peruna or any other good remedy upon the sys. tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls forth the powers of the human system to meet the en roachments of disease, and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends, the diseased action.
 No one should ever attempt to substi- ute medicine in the place of right liv- ing. In the end such an attempt will prove disaster. But an occasional use of the right medicine at the right time is godsend, and no reasonable person will undertake to deny it.
 Those who know how to use Peruna find it of untold value. By and by the world will get wise enough so that through correct living no medicine al all will be needed. But that time has not arrived. In the meantime, while the world is approaching that perfec- ton in which all medicine will be elim. mated, Peruna is handy remedy to have in the house.
 Slight Arrangements of the stomach {; slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow els; these attacks are sure to lead to grave diseases, and can be averted by the malicious use of Peruna.
 Wouldn't you like to read few un- solicited testimonials from people who have used Peruna, and who stand ready to confirm the above statements con- corning it. If so, address the Peruna Drug Manufacturing Co.,, Columbus, Ohio, and we will send some prepaid.
