YOUNG LADIES WRITE
DR.. HARTMAN.

/ Young ladies especially are subject to
constipation. / think ] should not be
wide of the truth If / should say that
one-half OF the young ladies OF this
country suffer from constipation.
Now / wish to say that Per1na viii
regulate the bowels. 1t will stimulate
the e~xcretory organs. Peruna will
clear the complexion simply because
1t takes away the offending poisonous
materials which aus pin1ples,
blotches, spots on the skin, roughness
Of the skin, warts, moles and the like.
I make no apology and have no hest
tation in saying to the public that
Peruna taken according to directions
on the bottle will do more towards
identifying the coTnplexions of our
young ladies than all the applications
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 Perlna,
except some other medicine which is
made on similar lines.
I do not claim that Peruna is the
only medicine that will prevent alb
sorption Of poisons from the bowels.
But I do claim that it is n 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 thousands Of people who
have tried 1t.
So then, young ladies, IL you want
clear skins, free from pimples, take
Peruna. This is the advice of an old
experienced physician who admires
young ladies in q fatherly way, who is
acquainted with scores of them. What
I am telling you In this article I
have told my own family, my own
children and grandchildren many
times, and the numerous acquaint-
ances with whom I daily associate.

pany. Columbus. Ohio. Sold at ali

SPECIAL NOTICEs-Many persons
inquire for The Old-Time Peruna. They
want the Peruna that their Fathers
and Mothers used to take. The old
Peruna is now called Katarno. If your

MAY PETITION FOR
A BLUE SKY" Ian

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 16.--The
state and national affairs committee
of the local commercial club has under
consideration what liz known as a
''blue sky law for this state. Only
three of the six members of the com
mittee attended the meeting last night,
and it will be necessary to have a
quorum before 1t is decided whether 1t
would be available to have such a
law for North Dakota.
The term sblue sky, law originated
in Kansas. 1t is a law to prevent the
successful operation OF wildcat
schemes, and originated from selling
| territorial rights for worthless
schemes, where the buyer, as he ex-
pressed 1t, found he had bought moth
ing but blue sky, or in other words
something that he could have got for

specimens of his own collecting, which he
had stuffed and mounted and asked 10 be

more than any institution Of its kind in
the world holds out a welcome hand to
ambitious Youngsters. and if they show
an intense interest in their particular sub
iect and a substantial knowledge of it
they are usually given a chance. Chaplin S

his opportunity and so quickly did he
make good particularly in his collecting,
that Herbert Lang chose him from among
a score or more of eager applicants 10
He is probably the youngest man ever to
hold so responsible a position IN an eS-
p,oration party To him has been given

The expedition is taking DR.. Lang and

region only to return within very short
time because of the intolerable heat. The
air has been described as so hot that II
is practically unbreathable. But the two
Americans with their encourage of l0J

way of comba ting both the heat and the
