THE..BEET GROWERS
MAY ORGANIZE

Sugar beet growers held meeting
at the courthouse Saturday and L.. ID.
Burtch was there 10 represent the
Sugar company. The contract for the
season of 1913 was read and while it
seems to offer some inducements over
past seasons for farmers to grow beets,
by offering 1913 per ton instead of
$500 per ton as heretofore, the extra
more than offered by the farmer pay
ing all the freight and having
the beets all weighed at the other end
of the line. All growers present were
in favor of forming what we decided
to call the Sank County Beet Growers
association. We are the fifth company
to organize and we believe in so doing
we are simply preparing to complete a
fair contract with the sugar company
which we cannot get and never have
had any other way.
Another sugar beet meeting will be
heidi courthouse next Saturday, Feb.
22p at 80 o'clock for the purpose of
furthering this organization. Put your
self out little and come for the good
of others as we'll as yourself.

Five per cent would be one twen-
tieth. AS each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking a little less
than an ounce of alcohol before each
meal"
Eyes"
But you objected to your mothers
taking alcohol in the Peruna, and yet
she was taking far less alcohol than you
were. AS I understand it, the dose Of
Peruna is one tablespoonful. Supposlng
it to be twenty per cent. alcohol, there
would be in each dose one-ffth OF
tablespoonful of alcohol which would
be about half teaspoonful, while you
were taking at least four teaspoonfuls
of alcohol in your bottle of beer. And
yet you objected to your mothers TAX
ing Peruna on the ground that the Pc
runa contains alcohol. In my opinion
it was the alcohol that cured both OF
you. Your mother evidently was cured
of a very serious ailment. Peruna con-
tains alcohol. It was undoubtedly the
alcohol that cured her, or at least
helped to. The other ingredients OF
Peruna might have assisted, no doubt
did. In your case it was the alcohol in
the beer that cured you of the stom-
ach difficulty. Peruna has cured
thousands of such cases.
FFWell, I declare he replied, "I never
thought Of it in that way before
There has been so much said about al
cohol being poisonous that I suppose
my mind has been prejudfced against
it. But if as you say there is also
alcohol in beer, the same kind of alco'
hol as is used in Peruna, cannot SET
where the difference is myself"
F'Well," T replied, ''you have been
doing exactly what the average man
and woman is doing. You have al
lowed your mind to become prejudiced
against Peruna on account of it's con-
tanning alcohol. Without stopping tc
look into the matter at all you have
assumed that there is something terri
bly, disreputable about remedies con-
tanning alcohol. The fact is, however
that most all fluid medicines, whether
prescribed by doctor or put up as a
patent medicine, contain certain
amount of alcohol. It was alcohol that
cured your mother. It was alcohol that
cured you. In my opinion, alcohol in
some form or other is making more
cures than all other drugs combined.
This is not saying, however, that Pc
runa contains only alcohol, for it does
contain excellent remedies besides al
cohol. But I do contend that the alco-
hol in Peruna is not only not harmful to
those who take it, but if taken in the
doses prescribed on the bottle it will Go
a great deal Of good and there is not
the slightest danger of forming a
drug habit" PERUNA IS FOR SALF

Having a little business in one of
the federal offices of the city, after it
was finished I fell in conversation with
the official in charge concerning Pc
runa. I mention his business to show
that the conversation was conducted
with a man of more than ordinary in
telligence, being d employe Of the gov
eminent who had passed through sew
eral civil service examinations. He
said to me, not knowing who was:
IT think great deal of this patent
medicine business ought to be stopped.
Especially such remedies as Peruna.
Peruna, as you know, is a stimulant
and contains eighteen or twenty per
cent of alcohol. People take it without
ought to be prohibited by law. My
own mother took Peruna once. She had
q cough, night sweats, was growing
emaciated and weak. Several doctors
examined her. The opinion was ex-
pressed several times that she was
going into consumption. One thought
it was chronic bronchitis. At any rate,
her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doc
tors she consulted, although she took
their medicines faithfully for nearly a
year. Some one told her about Peruna,
and against my wish and against the
wishes of our family, she began taking
it. At once she improved, and in less
than six months she apparently was
we'll. We did all we could to discour-
age her in taking Peruna, but she per-
sisted. It finally came out in the mag
azines that Peruna contained alcohol.
Then we knew at once what it was
that benefited my mother, it was SIM
ply the alcohol that Peruna contained.
We had the laugh on mother. We have
not ceased to make fun of her yet about
her being cured with dilution Of alco-
hol. She seems to be embarrassed by

our teasing her, but is very stubborn.
She says that if she were to be sick in
the same way again she would GER
tainly get Peruna and take it, alcohol
or no alcohol. So you see if people will
persist in such foolishness there ought
to be law to prevent them"
I ventured to interpose a question.
"You say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does it make to
you whether it was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?"
'Well, don't know that it makes any
but it is deceiving the people
to give them alcohol even though it
does cure them" he said.
replied. ''Why, I cannot ex-
actly IN ders and that. Alcohol
is drug, the same as qui-
nine or morphin. If alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception?
I understand that the Peruna people
print on the label of each bottle the
per cent. of alcohol contained in Peru
ma Each patient may read it, if he
pleases. I cannot see where there is
any deception"
''Well, I would not take Peruna,"
he persisted. "Now, was sick, I had a
stomach disease. A violent pain, that
would come on about an hour or two
after each meal. It grew worse and
worse. I was also constipated. I con-
suited several doctors in our city about
my health. I went to see a prominent
specialist in New York City, paid out a
great deal Of money, but no help. One

the next seat was a retired physician
with whom I had been acquainted. He
said to me, My friend, if you want to
get we'll I would advise you to take
glass of lager beer before each meal. I
think that will cure YOU Having fol-
lowed the directions of several good
physicians without any assistance, I
thought I would try the beer. In a
very short time I found it was helping
me, and I got entirely we'll. My bowels
became regular and I had no more
pain. No more distress after meals.
Now, if my mother had used some
remedy like that it would be all right.
But to persist in using some secret
remedy like Peruna, I think it is out
rageous."
Again ventured to ask some Ques-
tons. I asked: "What do you sup
pose it was in the lager beer that eff
fected the cure?''
F'Why, presume it was the stimu1ant
it contained. Yes, no doubt it was the

If the city officials find the stone of
