HER WEIGHT INCREASED

Wonderful Praise Accorded
Peruna the Household Remedy

Mrs. Maria Goertz, Orienta, Okla
homa, writes:
"My husband, children and myself
have used your. medicines, and we al
ways keep them in the house in case of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and DR.. Hartman's in
valuable advice and books. People ask
about me from different places, and are
surprised that can do all of my house
work alone, and that was cured by the
doctor of chronic catarrh. My husband
was cured of asthma, my daughter of
earache and catarrh of the stomach, and
my son of catarrh Of the throat. When
was sick 1 weighed 100 pounds; now I
weigh 14e.
"Ihave regained my health again, and
I cannot thank you enough for your
advice. May God give you long life
and bless your work."

IN MEMORY OF DAVIS
CAUGkINIAN.

On the morning of March the first
the spirit Of Davis Caughman left the
clay, which it had so much enobled,
and travelled out of this world into the
haven IF rest.
The expressions of regret which
sprang from those who surrounded the
death-bed were swelled into one great
voice of sorrow by those to whom his
many virtues were known.
Never had mother nobler son. In
him we have all example of a stainless
cha racter, sweetaned by an affection
ate heart. In him all that was pure
and lofty in mind and purpose found
lodgment. Dignified without presump-
ton, he united all those charms of
manners which made him the idol Of
tae family and the general favorite Ct
his friends, and won for him the re-
spect and admiration O
Even as, in he days OF bright pros
poets, success did not change, so,
when the dark clouds swept over him,
adversely did not depress. Having a
perfect command over his temper, he
was meyer seen angry, and only those
who knew him closest can ever fully
realize how near he approached an
ideal character.
Ia his death fond parents have lost a
son of whom they might we'll be
proud; broken.hearted sisters and
brothers loving brother whom only
the Supreme Ruler loved better, and
sorrowing friends q friend indeed.
Yet, amid all these trials, may we re-
member that our temporary loss is his
eternal gain and, looking to Him who
is ever ready to help. prepare to meet
him in the heavenly home. x.

ANOTHER Way.


Even in that large majority ofStates
where it is now TOO late to get the
Presidential primary through statute
passed by the Legislature, there is
still way IN which the same thing
can be accomplished in less official
manner. The party organization can
adopt the system as party rule. This
is not az formal and binding, of course
as Legislative statute, but it will
answer for the coming Presidential
year, until the Legislature meets
again. Texas Is one State where this is
being done, largely throug the influence
of Senator Culberson, in other Southern
States 1t is expected that the Demo-
cratic organization will do the same
thing. But in no State will the party
organization do this without pressure
from the individual voter and from
the newspapers. This is where the
individual who believes IN the Presi-
dental primary can do effective SER
vice.
SOMETHING THE INDIVIDUAL VOTER
CAN DO.
Every. voter can write TO his own
State Chairman and his local member
of the National Committee.
TnnJC
There is no escaping the logic of the
Presidential primary. Ifit is right for
the individual to vote at the election,
why is it not right for him to vote al
the primary also? If the individual is
capable Of choosing between Taft and
Harmon assuming that they are the
candidates at the eleetion--why Is lac
not also capable of choosing between
Taft and LaFoliette, between Wilson
ard Harmon?
WHAT WOULD THE CANDIDATES SAY
Is 1t conceivable that would say; 81
am opposed to the Presidential prl-
Macy | prefer to trust my chances to
the Federal officeholdors and the boss
esq" Is it conceivable that any OF the
various candidates, Democratic or Re
publican, would refuse to subscribe TO
this; statement:
81 do not wish to be the candidate
unless a majority of the members OF
my party want me?"
