In the February Woman's Home Com.

'Three Interesting Women" Each
of these women in her distinct field is
accomplishing something big and fine.

Peruna Secrets
You Should Know

Golden Seal, the root Of the above
plant, is very useful medicine. Many
people gather 1t in our rich woodlands
during the sum mer. Few people know
how valuable it is in dyspepsia, catarrh.
and as a general tonic.
Many thousand pounds of this root are
used each year in the famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna. This fact explains why
every body uses Peruna for catarrh.

The Michigan saloon as q scourge
and an affection to the state and to the
communities in which it is located was
recently given further publicity by Dr.
Albert III. Barrett. superintendent Of
The State Psychopathic hospital. In an
address before the trustees Of the sew.
erai Rsylums of this state, 9 few days
ago.Dr. Barrett declared that the great.
cot source of insanity today is alcohol.
He said That at least two. thirds of the
cases Of insanity are directly and indi-
sectly tr4ceable to drunkenness and to
ahe influence Of the saloon. Dr. Barrett
further stated that in the last twenty
years the population Of Michigan has
Increased but 81 per cent while insanity
has increased 100 per cent. Prevention
Of insanity he declared is possible
shrough control of the alcohol problem
and the education of people to stand
ard Of moral and upright living. 1t is
very apparent from DR.. Barrett's sug-
sestions as well as from the official in.
formation he gives that in his opinion
the saloon is an institution that should
not be permitted to exist where through
any privilege or provisions of law it can
be kept out or compelled to depart.

AMATEUR NIGHTS
ARE SUCCESSFUL

That the amateur nights at the
Iris theatre are becoming more
popular each week is shown by the
immense crowds attending. The
adult amateur shows of the week
of Jan. 15 was good, but the child
ren's nights last week bore marked
evidence of the child's popularity
in the public eye. The little ones
put on very classy entertainment
which promises to be repeated in
the future.
Judging from the class of con-
testants entering the "final. con-
test" as arranged by Manager Cas-
sidy, will prove great drawing
card. The idea of this final is to
enlist the best amateur talent in
the city, two winners to be chosen
each week in the preliminary for
three weeks, and these winners to
compete in a final in four weeks.
Those chosen for the finals are to
prepare an entirely new sketch
from the one winning them place
in the preliminaries.
This is sure to bring out some
good acts, as the winners are to be
handsomely rewarded: beautiful
diamond ring to the lady, or gold
hunting case Elgin watch to the
gentleman. These prizes will be on
exhibition at the Iris box office
next week, so anyone wishing to
enter can leave his name and ad-
dress with Manager Cassidy.

AN IRREPRESSIBLE
CONFLICT is FACED

The recent break between Gov
ernor Wilson and Col. Harvey i'll
ustrates the impossibility of CO.
operation between men who look
at public questions from different
points of view. Col. Harvey be-
came supporter of Mr.. Wilson
when he was selected as the dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of
New Jersey, and he continued his
support when Governor Wilson
began to be discussed as candi-
date for the presidency, OF course,
it is absurd for Col. Harvey's
friends to talk about his bringing
Governor Wilson out" No man
or paper could have made Cover
nor Wilson available as a candi-
date if he had not himself attracted
attention; it would have been i'm
possible for Col. Harvey to have
prevented discussion of Cover
nor Wilson's availability.
But let us assume that Col. Har-
vey was doing all that he could:for
his choice, what was the situation2
His conspicuous support was not
only of no advantage but it became
actually disadvantage; it did not
bring to Governor Wilson the
class for which Col. Harvey speaks,
but it alienated men just as hon
est as Col. Harvey's friends who
could not understand why Col.
Harvey praised Governor Wilson
personally without indorsing the
things for which Governor Wilson
stands. 1t naturally aroused sus-
picion as to the sincerity of one or
the other, and when Governor Will
son was asked the question he ad-
mitted that he regarded the sup
port of Col. Harvey as a liability
instead of an asset. Should he
have pretended that he thought
Col. Harvey was helping him when
he was not? And why should
Col. Harvey complain? If he
really favors Governor Wilson he
must desire to aid him; why should
he be offended then at Gov. Will
sons frankness? Is he more in
terested in being known as "the
man who made Gov. Wilson fam
ous," than in advancing Governor
Wilson's cause?
Col. Harvey should recognize
the situation and face it like
man. There is an irrepressible
conflict between aristocracy and
democracy; it is worldwide and
continuous contest The Common
