J. c. Stubs, the Southern Pacific

When the stock holders Of the VAL

plan the construction Of the new line
matters Of detail were taken up among
them, for even the smallest stock
holder wanted finger in the con.

At one meeting director who had
to do with the engineering problems
of construction asked, How heavy

Dr.. Hartman Answers Questions
About The Revised Ee-ru-na

years ago, but did not realize the diff
lions on this subject.
I made a change In the formula of
Pe-ru-na. Quite a radical change.
A change that altered the color and the
taste and somewhat the medicinal effect
or Fe-ru-na. I did this believing 1t was
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances./
Immediately TIE change appeared,
the people began to complain Of Pc
ru-na. Ihcy generally thought the
druggist Ne to blame. that their bot
tie Of pc-ru-na had been tempered
with. This made bad feelings between,
the users OF Pe-ru-na and the drug-l
gists. The druggists In some cases bel
came irritated and angered and madei
complaint to the wholesalers and man.
uracturers. Thus the trade was tenn
porarily In an uproar.
After a year Of explanation the trade
cuieted down and the new Pe-ru-naI
took its place in the drug stores as 81
popular household remedy. And yet III
has not attained the popularity that
the other Pe-ru-na had. Changing the
formula of Pe-ru-na was equivalent to
introducing a new medicine into the
drug trade, an extremely difficult
thing to do nowadays.
Pe-ru-na as it Is made today Is
very excellent remedy for catarrh and
general catarrhal ailments. 1t is FOR
sale in all drug stores and has
slight laxative effect, very much need
ed in these days. It seemed to me
that 1t was in many ways better rem
edy than before. Yet in spite Of all
explanations there Is a considerable de-
mand for the old Pe-ru-na as 1t useo
to be made.
I have authorized the formation OF
company to manufacture 1t, under the
trade name Of Ka-tar-no. The ka-
tar-no Co. Is located in Columbus, Ohio,
and stands ready to supply the trace
with the old-time formula OF Fortuna

What Old King Midas Might Have Ao1

Why didn't King Midas, the gold

Cor the members of his family alive
today. Midas was one Of the kings
Of Phrygia. AS the Phrygian line was
wiped out by the Cimmerians about
$40 B. c., we may assume he lived
about 800 B. c., or at least 2,711 years
ago.
If King Midas had started in saw
Ing ten cents a week he would have
saved dime, therefore, on each Of
the 140,S70 weeks. This would make
him the neat little sum Of $14,097 20.
Although not fortune In these days,
s14,O972O is quite a fair sum to save
by giving up one cigar week. But
there Is more to follow.
In those days of political upheaval
and commercial uncertainty, capital

The risk was much greater. Though

ian rates Of usury, 1t Is fair to assume
| that the Midas account drew ten per
cent. interest compounded annually
for at least the first 1000 years. or un-
til the commercial world had reached
q comparatively recent stage OF de-
velopment.
Beginning, therefore, 800 years be-
fore Christ, Midas put into his savings
ten cents every week. At the end
! of the first ten weeks he had dollar.
The interest on one dollar for one
year Is not great, even at ten per
cent, but 1t adds another dime to the
ten already saved. At the end OF the
second year there is something more
than two dimes to be added
At the end Of the first hundred
years the accumulation on the first
dollar, at ten per cent. compounded,
would be s13,7S0.66. Thus Midas, In
the year 700 B. G. would have had
$13,7S0.66, resulting from his first ten
weeks savings. The compromising
goes on through the next century 30!
that at the end Of 200 years, In the
year 600 B. c., Midas would have had
s1S9, 900, $1,000 from his first dollar.
At the end of the next hundred
years, or in 500 B. c., the results from
those first ten dimes put away would
be $3.50, 03S,149,1 O063. Continuing
this compounding through the follow
ing 2,411 years 1t is not a complicated
mathematical problem to arrive at the
sum Midas would have today from his
first one dollar saved.
Remember, moreover, this sum,
which would be up among the I'M
countable trillions Of dollars, would
represent the increment Of only one
dollar put away by Midas. Midas him
self, busily saving dimes, would have
started a new series Of dollar pyra-
mids every ten weeks. At the end OF
the first years saving he would have
started five and q half Of these stu
pendous fortunes. To compare any
one Of these with the $14,097.20 he
would have saved If he had received
no interest, certainly represents the

FAMOUS CATTLE STEALING
 CASE UP FROM YAVAPAI

An appeal in the famous cattle stealing case against w. V. Webb of Anvil Rock in Yavapai county, in which he was convicted at re- cent term of the Yavapai county superior court, was filed by Reese M. Ling, attorney for Webb, in the supreme court of the state yesterday morning. The case was tried before Judge Frank O. Smith with P. w. O'Sullivan acting as district attorney on May I2 of this year, but since Associate Justice H. D. Ross of the supreme court was the district attorney who drew the indictment and presented the facts before the grand jury a year previous to the trial, he will likely disqualify in this case and a superior court judge will be called to sit upon the bench with the two remaining supreme court members to look into the merits of the appeal.
 Webb was indicted for stealing cattle at the May term of the dis trict court of the Territory of Ari- zona after the cattle inspectors and several deputy sheriffs had visited his place and dug up hides which were alleged to have been the property of the J. w. Sullivan Cattle, Land and Water company. The indictment read as for only one head of meat cattle, but the deputies dug up quite number of hides, and it was stated that some seventy or eighty cattle had been missed from the Sullivan
