SAYS WORRY CAUSES DISEASE
A New Jersey Man Has Lived More Than Century by Taking
 1t Easy.

Crosswieks, N J., Mar. 3.--Herbert Zimmerman, 104 years of age, believes that worry is the cause of diseases and death. He does not believe that a man, even one of his mature years, should go to sleep three or four hours before midnight and arise before daybreak. He says such routine makes life a burden. For the past twenty years Zimmerman has been retiring at 2 o'clock in the morning and arising whenever he felt sufficiently rested. He enjoys the best of health. He be- lieves that many others could live the same number of years if they did not worry and were not over anxious to store up wealth.
 Worry kills ninety-nine out of every one hundred" said MT Zimmerman. The worry germ does more harm than the germ of many contagious diseases. ?

THE NAVAL REPORT|N
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE REcoM- MENps TWO DREADNAuGHTs s-- THIS YEAR.
OTHER VESSELS PROVIDED FOR
The Bill Will Carry an Appropriation of st3o, 900 for the 1911 Program -s26, 100000 is for New construc- tion Alone.

Washington, Mar. 3.-The construc- ton of two dreadnaughts of 27,000 tons each of design similar to the two bat tleships now building was authorized by the house committee on naval af- fairs.
 The bill to be presented in the house by Chairman Foss will carry an ap- propriation for each of these battle ships of $5.932.311, the total amount it is estimated that can be expended in one year in their construction. The full construction program for 1911, de- cided on by the committee includes besides the two battleships:
 Four submarines, at an estimated cost of about s500.000 each. For the construction of these total of sS00.- 900 Is appropriated.
 One repair ship for which total ap- propriation of $979,500 is made. Two fleet colliers, estimated cost s1 ,000 ,000 for which the total appro- priation is carried.
 The total authorized for new con struction in 1911 is about s26000,000. The appropriations made aggregate S15,744,112. The bill will carry about S114,000, 900 for maintenance or the navy establishment making the total navy appropriation for 1911 about $1S0, 100000 as compared with $1S5.' 000000 for 1910.
 Representative Hobson, a member of the committee voted for four dread daught battleships and three torpedo boat destroyers. In fifteen minute speech he declared the navy needed the battleships and he sought to lead the committee into four battleships a year program.
 Representative Padgett, ranking Democratic member of the committed voted against the two battleship pro gram. He will present report urg ing the authorization of but one bat tleship and upon this he will demand a house vote. The Republican mem bsrs of the committee stood behind Chairman Foss in the entire naval con struction program The cut of five suL marines to four was made by the com mittee because of lack of funds. There was no discussion in the com mittee of size of the new battleship: authorized. The restriction that they are to be of a similar design as tht two battleships now building will limi them to the 27.000 or 2S,000 ton class. Secretary Meyer and officials of tho navy department are gratified at tho committees action. For time there was danger of a cut in the battleshil program, the denial of the repair shiI ! and of all submarines. Secretar!
 Meyer was insistent on the entire pro gram. His argument was patriotism against inconsistent economy. Presi dent Taft swung the weight of his in
 fluence into the balance in favor of | greater navy.

Everett, Wash, Mar. At is now almost certain that the death toll in the avalanche that carried away two Great Northern trains and seven steam and electric locomotives will total S4.
 Few believe that any of the 67 listed as missing will be found alive. It is now more than AS hours since they were buried beneath the tons of snow and ice and twisted wreckage that swept over the ledge and dropped in a twisted heap to the bottom of the canyon 200 feet below.

If people were born right ana ai'e' vords lived right, there would be no use for medicine. Every doctor knows this. So do other well-informed people'
 One thing more. When a person iives wrongly. or acquires bodily weakness py heraditv medicine can do only very little. Medicine cannot cure him. ohiy chorlatans claim that medicines VIII cure disease. Medicines may pailia'o svmptoms. Medicines may urge 'ne mowers of Nature to resist disease. Meu- icines sometimes arouse the efforts Of the human hody to right itself against ue- ranoements. This is the most that meo- icine can do.
 A man accidentally puts his finger in the fire. Instinctively he vets DIS finger in his mouth, then blows on It for the cooling effect. This Is no cure. He knows it very well. But 1t makes II feel better for the time being.
 People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or indigestion. The only rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet II a palliative is at hand the pains Of indi, gestion can be mitigated, the throes oi dvspepsia assuaged. The medicine can not be said to have cured. It sinpiy palliates disagreeable symptoms. Ihe cure must come through right living
 Take Peruna, for instance. No one claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia But Peruna will stimulate the stomacn to perform it's function properly. Peru na will increase the flow of digestive finds, without which digestion canno be carried on at all. Itwill increase in' relish of food, tho appetite.
 It is admitted that all this can o' accomplished by right living, but there are so many people who either VIII no or do not know how to eat correctly Una a tremendous amount of good can p' done by the wise use of Peruna.
 A stomach that has been frequently abused performs the function or diges lion very lazily. Such stomach allow the food to remain undigested for som' time after it is swallowed. This lead +o fermentation of the food. Sour stom nch is the result. This goes on weel after week, until the blood is poisoned with the products of fermentation. Ihi condition is very apt to produce rheum atism.
 Itis not claimed that Peruna will cur rheunatisn. Nothing will euro rhenm atism but correct living. But r. l claimed that Peruna will assist badl, abused stomach to perform it's work.

THE RAILROADS WIN
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT DECIDES GRAIN ELEVATOR
 CHARGES ARE LEGAL.
THE COMMISSION IS ENDOWED
Can Not Enforce It's Order Prohibiting Railroad Companies from Paying Elevators for Transfer of Grain Case Will Be Appealed.

Kansas City, Mar 4.-In a written decision received in Kansas City the United States circuit court perman- ently enjoins the Interstate Commerce commission from enforcing its order prohibiting railroad companies from paying elevator companies for the ele- vating and transfer of grain. Suit to enjoin the commission was instituted by Peavy & Co, and other representa- tives of the elevator interests, and the case has been pending for several months.
 The opinion was written by Judge Walter H. Sanford and it was concur red in by Judge w. c. Hook and Judge Elmer D. Adams.
 The principal ruling of the court was that "Orders of the commission which prohibit the allowance or payment by carriers of all compensation to owners and operators of elevators for elevation and transfer of grain in transit, are beyond the delegated power of the commission. An order which forbids a carrier to allow or pay to the owner of any eleNalOf any tOluDeuSdtlbh loi eit- vation In transit of grain, unless he refuses to clean, clip. mix. inspect or grade the grain while it Is passing through the elevator, is beyond the power of the commission"
 The order Of the commission was to have become effective May 1. The case will be appealed.
 The former practice of the railroads was to allow a cent a bushel elevator charge on all grain shipped over their lines and unloaded at certain elevators. The contention of the Interstate Com merce commission was that this allow ance was in the nature of rebate. The case has been pending for sev- eral years.

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

If person would correct his hahits persist in right eating and temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach womb right itself, tho blood would rid itself o, the poison, and verything would ha right. But as said before there are multitude of people who will not orcan. not adopt right methods of living. Tn such people Peruna is 8 boon. A dosa before meals will assist the stomach to do it's work. This prevents fermenta. ton of the food, brings about normal digestion, and all the train of ills tha. follow indigestion disappear.
 In other words, Peruna is helpful to those who live badly, or those who have acquired some ehrcnic weakness. Pcruna 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 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, 1t calIs forth the powers of the human system to meet tho en. roachInents of disease, and thus cnts short, if not entirely ends, the diseased action.
 h No one should ever attempt to substl. ute medicine in the place of right liy. ing. In the end such an attempt will ! ns,t a al. of the right medicine at the right time is a godsend, and no reasonable person will undertake to deny it..
 Those who know how to use Peruns l find it of untold value. By and by the world will get wise enough so that through correct living no medicine at 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 cIsfTi- mated, Pcruna is handy remedy to have in the house.
 Slight Arrangements of tho stomachi slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, tho throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow. els; these attacks are sure to lead to grave diseases, and can be avertcd by tho judicious nse of Peruna. :. Wouldn't you like to read few un- solicited testimonials from people who have used Pcruna, and who stand reaay to confirm tho above statements con. corning it. If so, address the Peruus Drug Manufacturing Co.,, Coluneas, lOhio, and VIC will send some rTepaid.
