CATARRHAL
COUGH
Is Caused by Catarrh
of the Throat and
Bronchial Tubes.

Some coughs are produced by a grave
organic disease of the lungs Other
coughs are produced by heart disease. An
irritable stomach will produce a cough.
Stomach coughs are more common than
is generally supposed.
Catarrh will also produce a cough Ca
tarrh of the bronchial tubes Catarrh of
the larynx. Catarrh of the pharynx
In catarrhal cough the amount of ex-
pectoration is limited. 1t is not so easy
to raise as in cases of organic diseases
of the lungs. 1t may be frothy or stringy
will go on for months with this sort of a
cough and give it no attention
Ordinary cough medicines that are in
tended to lull the sensitive nerves that
are irritated by the catarrh will do no
good. In fact. they do harm.
What is needed is Peruna, which strikes
at once at the cause of such a cough Pc
runa is catarrh remedy. AS soon as the
catarrh is removed from the throat and
bronchial tubes the cough disappears.
Usually the directions on the bottle are
sufficient. In some cases where the cough
is very continuous and annoying a table
spoonful every hour is a better way tC
take it, But a multitude of people who
are suffering with this sort of cough ant
yet going about their usual business neet
only take the Peruna according to the di-
rectons on the bottle.

RURAL REFORM
CFrom the indianapolis News.)

(From the indianapolis News)
The American commission on agri-
culture, which recently completed an
extensive tour of Europe, returns con.
vinced that this country has still much
to learn with regard to the produc.
ton and marketing of food supplies.
Attention is called to the benefits to
be derived from rural cooperation and
from a development of farm credits
In these two movements the United
States is lacking. The commission has
compiled the information gathered in
Europe, and is now sending it to gov
ernors, agricultural societies and
other organizations interested In rural
Improvement The commission IS
deeply impressed" says a circular
letter issued by the investigators,
with the vital importance of a thor
oughly organized and united rural
population. The agricultural interests
of most Of the European countries Wis
tied by the commission are organized
along one or more of the following
lines: Credit, production, distribution
and social organization for the bet
terment of country life."
The progress of cooperation in this
country has been attended by defeats
and triumphs, the defeats often

Such a union as suggested would be

Such union as suggested would be
prostitution of principle.
Turn to the practical political end of
the discussion. A republican posing
as progressive is bad enough in view
OF the fight made last fall and the
sharp issues which separated the re-
publicans and progressiyes. but for
progressive to pin a republican label
upon himself would make him the
laughing stock of all parties. AS a can
didate for Office he would feel the keen
knife OF revenge in the hands of re-
publicans of the Taft-Cannon-B Barnes
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES kind. When
he talked about things progressive
they would jeer him into silence. He
would be a mere voting pawn for the
"steam-roller" combination.
Roosevelt and his followers OF the
progressive party who crushed the re-
publican steam roller" last year will
not try to rehabilitate the old machine
They forced the Taft combination into
third party place and superseded the
republican party. They reduced the
strength of the Deneen end of the Taft
combination in Illinois to such an ex-
tent that It finished bad third so far
as the national ticket was concerned,
and almost forced Deneen himself into
third place.
What chance is there for reunion,
much less a merger?

A NOTABLE FLOP.

The conversion of the Chicago Tri-
bune to the support of the Owen
Glass; cAdoo currency bill seems to
be lasting. 1t has twice now within
a week given the measure its hearty
Endorsement.
The Tribune would not have object
ed to the measure in the beginning If
it had informed itself about its pro-
visions. But it spoke in criticism
studied the bill and was familiar with
present banking laws knew from read
ing it's editorials.
Notwithstanding that the Tribune
published an editorial against the bill
designed to excite fear Of il as the
Bryan biIl,' it says now of the meas
ure, which has been changed only
slightly in detail and not at all In
principle:
The Owen-Glass bill with the
notifications in the reserve pro
visions recommended by business
men and bankers Of all sections,
and with the reasonable increase
of profits allowed TO subscribers to
the reserve banks, is probably as
good a piece of legislation for
banking reform as could be hoped
for from this or any other con-
gress. It's general outlines are APP
proved by every informed critic,
and the provisions which at first
threatened to prevent the banks
from coming in have been amend
ed The bill has gone through a
drastic criticism, and the Tribune
believes should be passed at this
session.
II should not only be passed. 1t
should be received Hospitality by
the banks and given fair and
thorough trial.

overshadowing the successful at
tempts. Il is in line with the observa.
tons of the agricultural commission to
call attention to an experiment in CO.
operation in Chicago. Four months
ago six professors from the University
of Chicago, and six other men inter-
ested in civic betterment, established
cooperation to give practical demons
tration from the standpoint of
seller, buyer and Intermediary. In the
four months of the stores existence
business has developed so rapidly that
enlarged quarters have become neces-
sary. 1--WE feel that the store is a
success, inasmuoh as 1t is helping the
people" said one professor. Our de-
sire was to start the store and, cling
firmly to the cooperative idea. This has
been done. The result is our new
store, better and bigger than the one
we first maintained. The idea is a
complete success"
But perhaps the most vital of AL
the suggested reforms is thai of rural
credit. In this we are deficient. The
farmer needs credit just as much as
the merchant, often great deal more.
Here is a subject that is worthy of
careful attention in Washington and
in every state capital.

there were some 900,000000 separate
rates published by the express COM
panies in hundreds of books and PAM
phlets. 1t was absolutely impossible
for any ordinary shipper to calculate
a rate for himself. 1t was next to i'm
possible for even the agents of the ex-
press companies to do SO correctly
and as result complaints of over
charges and undercharges (mostly
overcharges) were filed with the com.
mission by the tens of thousands.
In fact, the wholesale manner in
which the public was being over.
charged by express agents who could
not calculate the correct rates from
the bewildering libraries of rate pub
LEGATIONS, was one of the most signifi-
cant facts brought out by the recent
investigation of the express business
of the United States.
The government statisticians have
now reduced these 9O0,000,000 rates to
less than $4,000. This has been done
by dividing the country into territor-
ial blocks. BY means of rate tables

which are made up of key numbers
any person can find in five minutes
the exact express rate on package
of any size between any two points in
the United States.
The new rates to which these tables
relate viii go into effect Oct. %. They
offer to the consumer the first real
relief ever given from the extortionata
exactions of. the express companies,
who, having monopoliZed a field that
ought rightfully to be filed by the rail-
roads and the postoffice, have been
able to take from commerce vast for.
tunes for the few individuals who own
most of the express stock.
Many of the cuts are drastic. Others
are left at about their present level.
In some instances express rates will
be raised by the new order. But the
whole system Of rates has been work
ed out in scientific way and with an
eye single to the interests of the peo-
pie.
1t may take the country some
months of experience to find out the
advantages and disadvantages of the
new rates. But from an extended and
careful study of the new rates the
following generalization can be stated
as approximate truths:
! 1. Parcel post rates are lower than
/ the new express rates on all packages
weighing FIVE pounds or less being
| shipped to any distance.
2. Parcel post rates are lower than
| the new express rates on all packages
weighing 20 pounds or less being ship
| ped any distance up to $50 miles.
8. The new express rates are lower
than parcel post rates on packages
weighing over five pounds shipped to
any distance and on packages weigh
ing over 20 pounds shipped $50 miles
or farther.
1t will be seen that the effect of this
order will be to give the parcel post
a monopoly of the small package bust
ness and a monopoly of packages
weighing up to 20 pounds for short dis
tances The express companies must
take the long haul business, which is
the less profitable.
