Of Truth last night under the auspices
Of the Initiative and Referendum

Mr.. Knowles quoted reports from
the state treasurer Of the expenditures
of the state government from 1889 TO
the present time In 1889 the total
expenditures. including a session Of
the state Legislature, Mr. Knowles
said. amounted TO 1854 ,25O55. while IN
the year 1911 the total expenditures,
he said. reached a total Of $759,911.79.
lMr Knowles apparently made no al
howance for the natural increase In ex-
pense due TO the growth OF the state.
Mr.. Knowles spoke of party politics

At the home of Mr.. La Barre, six

The bowels when they are healthy
contain no poisonous material. Long be-
fore the poisons can generate the con-
tents Of the bowels are discharged, pro-

constipation will dam up the contents
of the bowels and retain them so long
that they decompose and furnish poison
Gus gas and fluids. These poisons are alb
sorbed by the blood vessels in the bowels
and taken into the system. The result
is pimples and blackheads and other
disfigurements of the complexion. Young

Going into another room, she threw
herself on a sofa and gave way to

to remove the bulk Of her jewels from

YOUNG LADIES WRITE
DIR. HARTMAN

/ the truth ii | should say that one-nalf
OF the young ladies of this country
suffer from constipation.
Now | wish TO say that Peruna will
regulate the bowels, IL will stimulate
the excretory organs. Peruna will clear
the complexion simply because IL takes
away the Offending poisonous materials
which cause pimples, blotches, spots on
the skin, roughness OF the skin, warts,
moles and the like. ! make no apology
and have no hesitation in saying TO the
public that Peruna taken according 20
directions on the bottle will do more
towards Identifying the compilations of
our young ladies than all the applca.
tons that can be made to the skin All
the facial massage and treatments that
have ever been invented never will do
these cases so much good as Peruna, ex-
cept some other medicine which is made
on similar lines.
do not claim that Peruna is the only
medicine that will prevent absorption of
poisons from the bowels. But do clam
that it is one of the medicines that will
do this-a reliable one--an old and
trusted one--one that has stood the test
OF years--one that is lauded by thou
sands of people who have tried it.
SO, then, young ladies, if you want
clear skins, free from pimples, take Pc
runa. This is the advice of an old, ex-
pcrienced physician who admires young
ladies in fatherly way, who is ac-
quainted with scores of them. What 1

Where Panama Is Duplicated.

In the Justly famous Culebra cut at
Panama, the splendid equipment OF
steam drills, steam shovels, powerful To-
comotiyes and cars is picking up and
handling, not quite but nearly, three
million cubic yards Of earth and rock
each month. One great association OF
copper mining companies, commonly
known as the "porphyry coppers,s in
the mountain region between the Rockies
and the Sierras, is handling, by similar
equipment, two million yards Of ore
and rock each month; and the difficult
ties due to the nature of the ore and the
