During an epidemic Of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DIR. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as q remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects Of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects Of this disease, atcourse of Peruna
should be resorted to.

NEW OPTION
MOVEMENTS
TEMPERANCE CAUSE is AID
VANCED IN COUNTIES
THROUGHOUT STATE.
Commissioners Grant Petitions and
Others are Scheduled for Action
During the Week.

With the opening OF the March
terms OF commissioners courts in
many counties of Indiana the local
option movement which is spreading
broadcast over the state is given new
impetus and the result is that four
counties Monday, fixed dates Tor op-
tion elections, while in many other
petitions for elections are on file and
will be acted ON during the present
session of the commissioners.
The counties in which election
dates were set are:
Montgomery, March %
Ohio, March pa
Elkhant, March .25.
Jennings, March 30.
In addition it is estimated that dur
ing the week elections will be order
ed in perhaps a dozen other counties
TO be held during the month OF March
Along with this activity reports
show that temperance forces in a
number of important counties have
begun preliminary work toward get
ting option election petitions ready
for filing at the April term of the
county commissioners. Elections will
be held this week in Sullivan and
Jay Counties Wednesday; Marshall
County, Thursday; Whitley and Han
cock Counties, Friday. and Shelby
County Saturday. Miami County is
scheduled TO vote one week from
Tuesday.
Saloon Interests Die Hard.
Incident to ordering an election in
Montgomery County Monday was a
court decision which sustained the
right OF the county commissioners to
call such election, after the wet" fac
::on had again sought an injunction.
Four suits were filed TO this end, but
rhe count refused a restraining order
Liquor interests made a strenuous
opposition in Elkhart county, but tic
petition containg the names OF $500
citizens, was granted by the commits

the Injunction and the liquor interests

CONSERVATIONISTS
TO INVESTIGATE
DRAINAGE IN STATE
Keerl and Dobson Visit North
ern Counties to Study Prob
lem at Close Range.

Des Moines, Oct. 12.-For the pur-.
pose of making a complete fnvesttga-
ton of drainage conditions in Iowa..
Commissioner /. w. Keerl and Secre-
tary George L. Dobson. of the Iowa
conservation commission, will make q
tour of the northern counties OF the
state this month. The material gath.
cred on this trip will be used In pre-,
pairing a report to the next general as,
sembly. MI. Keerl came to Des Moines.
from Mason City to arrange for the
tour.
Among the things which 1t is proba-
BILE the commission will recommend to-
the next legislature is the establish
ment of a drainage board and h en-,
ployment of an expert drainage engi-
neer. The plans and specifications for
every public drainage project would
Their be submitted to the state engineer.
for approval before work could be start
ed, and no civil engineer could prepare
plans for n public drain without a
license issued by the state board.
1t Is the belief of the commission that
in a large part the poor drainage sys-'
tens in Iowa are due to faulty plans
and specifications.
BY requiring drainage engineers to be
licensed and all plans to be approved
by the state engineer, it would be pos
sible to reduce the umb Of poor
drains to practically nothing, they be-
lieve. For the purpose of learning @-
actly what are the faults of the states
present drainage systems Messrs.
Keerl and Dobson will pay particular
attention to this feature On their trip.
They will secure plans and specifica-
lions of the work which has proved
faulty and will take a large number of
photographs. They expect to visit
every county in the state where drain
age is q

IS REPRODUCED BY

Savage Spectaaets Portrayed
by Red Warriors and State

Pierre. S. D., Oct. with much OF
the realism attending the Custer mas
sacre in the Big Horn country, the
great tragedy in Indian warfare was
re-enacted here yesterday by 800 IN
dams of the Cheyenne reservation and
several companies of state guardsmen.
The first charge was made by troops
under command Of Lieutenant Lin
etad, representing the Reno command.
After they were driven back, the main
body of troops, under command OF
Captain Dewell, came upon the scene,
and the work of arna began, con-
|tinuing until there was not a man left
among the members Of the white COM
pany.
When the massacre was completed
and the squaws had completed the
work of stripping the dead of all per-
Eonal belongings, he dance Of victory
was participated in by the whole tribe.
The plot Of ground selected for the
spectacle corresponds in all material
points to that of the Big Horn basin,
in which Custer and his army met their
deaths, and the surrounding hills con-
stituted a vast amphitheater from
which the scene was witnessed by sew
eral thousand people.
