San Francisco, Cal, Nov. a.-The
count is exceedingly slow and tho full
result will not be known for another
day or more. Johnson, Republican. how.
ever, is leading 80 far by Il substantial
ma iority. the partial count in every
city and the rural districts alike showing
Republican plurnlitics. The Republican
plurality in 1908 was $500. and il il
expected that the result this year will
he even better for the Republicans.

FEW FARM NAMES
REGISTERED N AUDRAlN

Quite a number of Audrain county
farmers are giving names to their
places. An act of the legislature some
two years ago gives the farmer q
right to register with the county
clerk for 81 the name OF his farm.
This has been taken advantage of by
many, though others have named
their places without registering them
The farm names registered ur
to this time are as follows:
Prairie Home. owned by G. F. Clark
Mrs. G. C. Bledsoe and Chas Clark.
Grassland, c. F. Clark and others.
Forest Home Stock Farm, Judge
Alex Carter.
Walnut Grove Stock Farm, James
Quinlan.

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

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When 8 person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines viii
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers Of Nature toresist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. I~nstinctively he vets his
finger In his mouth, then blows on 1t
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows 1t very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is TO eat correctly. Yet If
o palliative is at hand the pains Of indi-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes Of
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
eure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
TO perform Its function properly. Peru
m will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. 1t will increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
1t Is admitted tlrat all this a be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
0 tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges-
ton very lazily. Such a stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after It is swallowed. This leads
TO fermentation of the food. Sour stom-
sch is the result. This goes on week
after week, until tho blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt TO produce rheum-
atism.
tits not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
atism but correct living. But 1t is
claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
abused stomach to perform its work.

II o person would correct HIS habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
rightitself, the blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are .
multitude of people who win not or cam
not adopt right methods Of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach TO
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton 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 a 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 ut the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruns,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
tenn. Taken at the right time, It calls
forth the powers Of the hBman system
to meet the en-. roachments Of disease,
and thus cuts short, IL not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No n should ever attempt to substi.
tute medicine in the place OF right liv.
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove q disaster. But an occasional use
Of the right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake TO deny 1t.
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 elm
mated, Peruna is o handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight arrangements Of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks OF the liver, tho
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure 10 lead to
grave diseases, and Ear be avertee by
the judiclous use Of Peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read q few In
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm tho above statements con-
corning 1t. II so, address the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus,
Ohio, and we wiz send some prepaid.

ACROSS CONTINENT AERO
PLANE EVENT MAY ROUTE
THROUGH THIS CITY

A. l.. Westguard and wife, of New
York City. are coming this way in
a monster touring car choosing a
route for w. E. Hearst's $50, 600
across-the -continent aeroplane flight.
The route may be through this city.
The route in every instance is
practically chosen with the exception
of a section between Chicago and
Emporia, Kan. One route is through
st. Louis following the Chicago &
Alton tracks to Kansas City in whic
Ease 1t would pass through Mexico.
The other route is from Chicago
to Omaha and thence to Emporia.
Mr.. Hearst's offer is one Of the
most liberal ever made for a flight
He offers $50, 1000 to the first ma
chine that flies from New York tc
San Francisco in less than 80 days.
The flight may be attempted the
latter part OF October following the
monster aeroplane meet in New
York. It is quite likely that many
prominent ayiators may enter the
event and it will evolve into a race
from New York to San Francisco.
