ma. On the other hand, the revised
Peru-na is a better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done great work In
relieving catarrh. chronic and acute.
Many hundreds OF cases Of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka.tar-no and the same is true OF the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since Its revision.
There Is a difference, however, In
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (ka-tar-
mol is the better remedy.

Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have.

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at tender age and form
totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
very early age. They begin trying
to captivate. to charm. to enslave the
opposite sex. before they are out OF
the nursery. They live and die
many. many of them-without ever In
the least understanding the truth
about love or. in fact. about anything
else.
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of 1ustifica-
ton in this one way you look at 1t.
Why should one woman have luxury.
ease. travel. society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation!
This is useless question, We
cannot explain the Inequalities OF life.

FRANCHISE GRANTED
BY FORT MADISON
Franchise to Power Company Voted
by City Council is Unanimous
ly Approved.

FORT MADISON, Ia, Sept. IL
by an almost unanimous vote
Fort Madison, at her special election
Monday, approved the franchise pass
ed by the city council, granting to
the Mississippi River Power company
the rights to construct and maintain
within the city limits material neces-
sary for the distribution of electrical
energy from the dam. Indirectly the
approving of the franchise was an i'm
portant civic step. The forming OF
the Fort Madison First association
and the carrying out of its industrial
promotion purposes rested solely on
the guarantee Of the power company
to build sub-electrical station here;
and the building of the substation in
turn was dependent upon the power
company's securing privilege to enter
the city. Previously steps in secur-
ing manufacturing enterprises for our
city were handicapped by the absence
power company was going to do
here: the passing of the franchise re-
moves this impeachment and permits
a resumption of the local industrial
work.
| For the first time in the history OF
the city harmony and real civic inter
est marked the election to an unusual
degree. The power company itself
played no part in the event and the
results ara merited to the combined
efforts of local citizens alone. The
apparent logical study of the question
beforehand and the general conclusion
reached as shown by the vote surely
indicates an awakening and portends
much for the city's future.
