such a spirit of improvement and re

Such an exposition would prove a

Asking for
Medical Advice

to ward of old age? I am 10 years
younger than you are, and yet | am
comparatively broken down by old
age. What would you advise me to do?
My dear Sir: l do not teach any
system of physical culture The only
physical culture l believe in is to have
something to do every day that calls
into pay both the mental and physical
powers. Something that you are in
terested in. Something you believe in.
Eat frugally. At your age use meat
sparingly. Make no use OF narcotics
OF any sort Drink cold water freely,
and If you wish TO do exactly as l do,
keep a bottle of PeIuna in the house
all the tint. At the slightest appear
ance of cold, or sneezing, or cough,
chill, or stomach arrangement, take a
dose of Peruna before each meal for
a few days until the symptoms disap-
pear. Also use the cold water towel
bath every morning, described in the
Ills Of Life, sent gratis.
FROM A DOCTOR A doctor
writes me as TO the remedy Katarno:
/ have been reading your articles in
the newspapers lately and l see that
you are putting up the old-time Pc
runa under a new name. While the
old-time Peruna was in its glory
used to prescribe it frequently for my
patients. But since the change made
in the formula in which a laxative was
added, have not been certain wheth-
er / had better prescribe it or not |
am anxious, however, 10 prescribe Ka-
tarno, for l believe II to be one of the
best tonics l ever knew of. In doing
this can l send my patients to the
drug store, or must they go 10 McDon-
ald-Steube Co, as indicated in your
letter?
My Dear Doctor-AIl wholesale
druggists keep Katarno. ANY retailer
Who does not keep it in stock could
easily get it Of them. II for any rea-
son your patients cannot get Katarno

SPECIAL NoTIcE.-Many persons

want the Peruna that their fathers

I druggist or dealer does not keep it for
sale write the Katarno company, Co

USING BRAINS ON
FARM PROBLEMS

THE great work being done by the
department of agriculture, diversified
and varied in its character as it is"
said Alfred Wendell, connected with
the great nursery industry centering
at Rochester, n. Y, lis little known
to the masses Of the people, who are
in large measure the direct benefi-
Charles of that scientific work, and
comparatively unappreciated because
OF the lack of information. There
was a time when the department of
agriculture was looked upon as joke
The only thing that department was
credited with was the free distribu
ton of garden seeds through congress
men to their constituents.
"If the history of the department
could be compiled in a brief volume,
IL would show the wonderful public
service it has performed since its
establishment. 1t has brought to this
country from foreign lands grain,
grasses, fruits and vegetables which,
by experimental tests, have been
found to be adaptable to the soils and
climatic conditions of various sections
of the country. Under the scientific
direction of the expert agriculturists
and horticulturists these have been
made staple crops of sections of the
country, and annually contribute mil
lions of dollars to the crop values of
those sections.
"The great wheat crops of the
northwest, the wonderful production
of corn of the middle west and south,
the forage-hay, alfalfa, oats, fodder
that make possible the beef and
mutton industry of the country gener-
| ally, the people and the small fruit
crops of the country, and in particular
the citrus fruits of California and Flor
/ ida; the pears, prunes, grapes and
| wonderful apples of Washington and
| the northern tier of the western states
were made possible by the scientific
work of the experts of the depart
ment
There has recently been success
fully introduced by the department
of agriculture in Florida, south of the
great Everglades, citrus and other
valuable fruits that will enter into the
I commercial revenues of that atone
time barren section. The same II
