dollars in trying to find relief. It
seems that he was disappointed en-
tirely.
At last he was induced to take Pc
runa Just who called his attention
to the remedy we do not know. We
presume it was a neighbor who had
taken it for a similar purpose. In
beginning to take Peruna he states:
One bottle did me more good than
all the other remedies put together
He continued to take Peruna for four
months, at which time he claims he
was completely restored to health. 1t
was his gratitude for good health
again that led him to write the testi-
monial and allow US to use his por-
trait in connection with it.
We offer no explanation as to how
Peruna effected a change in his case.
The operation of medicine is mostly
inexplicable. The fact that he had
diligently sought relief and tried 9TH
er popular remedies and began to
improve as soon as he took Peruna, is
evidence that cannot be disputed that
Peruna did for him just what he says
it did.
Naturally enough, Mr.. Watkins
recommends Peruna to other people
similarly afflicted. If any one desires
to write him and obtain further par
ticulars they should remember to en-
close a stamp for reply. Otherwise
their letter may receive no attention.

THE LINDEN ADDITION,

Bloomington, ILL.,, Aug. %, 'l3.
Dear Mr.. kemptoD: We have al
ways thought that Jeanerettq
should have the front of Linden
for a park We believe that the
growth Of Jeanerette warrants the
people N providing a park that is
accessible to all at time when it
can be had at a nominal price.
The bridge across the bayou to
connect with the lake road is a
logical necessity and therefore
bound to be built sooner or later.
If the proper authorities will
promise us bridge within rea
sonable time we stand ready to
save the part marked Linden
Park on our plats and deed it to
the city free of cost upon compile
tion Of a suitable bridge as above
mentioned.
In order to give Jeanerette q
chance to accept this offer you are
authorized to say to those author
tiles to give us their decision
which we feel certain will be IA
vOrable.
Yours very truly,

 Nearly one hundred men w1ll SC from Yuma, comprising the members of Companies H and l., commanded by Captain R. R. Knott (of Company H) and First Lieutenant Drue Raiiey (of Company L).
 Yuma can we'll be proud If Ter two companies of militia. Company H was many years the ranking mpany of Arizona, with Captain Ingalls now Major) as commanding officer. Major Ingalls, has been connected with the Arizona militia since 1866, at Pres colt. Yuma is still his home, though his official home is at Phoenix.
 The encampment will las- two weeks. and Yuma will feel keenly the loss of so many citizens aI at one time though it happens every year and is expected It is to be hobed that none come back killed or maimed
 The companies gave a battalion drill late this afternoon and will leave shortly after. 10 o'alock tonight.
 It is expected ghat 12 companies. comprising the First regiment, will attend the encampment.
 Wherever there is a company ir Arizona may be found just now dog ems of members of the organizations making preparations to leave and look . ing forward to the service required For scores of the young men n aking up the guard of the state the oncam3 ment will be the only vacatian they will have and it will be the very kind the most of them choose, for it means not only getting near to la ture but it means, too, training they would be unable to obtain in any other way
 Locally, Companies H and 1. arc leaving no stone unturned to insure record breaking attendance and indi vidual and company efficiency Tor same time both companies have been holding twice the regular number e drills and there has been scdad and platoon work as well, whi n is bouEd to be beneficial when the boys are under the eye of the colonel of the regiment and the Acknowledgment.

EXAMINER LEADS BY 15 DAYS
 WITH NEWS OF STAMP LAW

July 1st The Examiner published the good news that on that date or dinary postage stamps were good on parcel post packages and the story created some comment because the Yuma postoffice had not received of ficial notification of the change aimed as a great convenience for the public where heretofore special stamps were necessary on parcel post parcels.
 Today, fifteen days later, Postmas- ter Meeden received official notifica- ion of the law which went into ef- fect July 1st, or was supposed to. The aw reads as follows:
 Beginning on July 1st, 1913, or dinary postage stamps shall be valid for postage and for insurance and C.. Q. D. fees on fourth-class mail, and distinctive parcel post stamps shal be valid for all purposes for which ordinary stamps are valid.'
 And now Yuma citizens are official ly advised of change which has been made as a direct result of a wide 3pread. popular and sensible demand.
 There never was time when 10 cents wasn't 10 cents, even in stamps, and just why the public should be re luired to stand in line to buy certain kind of stamps or haveeto hold pack age over another day to get then tape is fast disappearing and an en- frightened American sentiment is the cause of it.

Five Mexican boys, G. Floris D. Uribe, Jose Gonzalez. M. Rodrigae. and Eduardo Maldinaldo, belonging 10 families of laborers on the railroad section gang were before Judge Rax- ter yesterday on charge os malicious mischief preferred by special officers of the railroad. The boys had been playing on the tops of the refrigera- tor cars on what is called the 'high line track" at the icing shed, Sunday, and released the brakes on some re- fIigerator cars with the result that the cars ran down the steep grade and were "side swiped" by T flat car standing near the switch, all of the planking on the side of the refrigera- tors being torn off

HUNTS NIECE VISITS
 HER UNCLE PEARL

PHOENIX, July 15-Of greatest
 interest to Phoenix theater goers is the news of the arrival this morning
 of Beatrice Gonzales a niece of Governor G. w. P. Hunt, who will dp the soubrette parts with the Bowker
 company, now playing at the Enl- press. Miss Gonzales, who is known in private life as Mrs. S. M. Sum- mers, is the daintest, most petite little lady one can imagine and in a charming southern drawl expressed herself as follows:
 "Well, you see, I haven't seen Uncle Pearl in thirteen years (the reporter interrupted to ask whom)-. '"Oh, how stupid of me, of course no one out here would know him by that name why, my uncle, Cover nor Hunt-you know he was named after his father. george, and his uncles William and Paul Yates. but grandma always called him Pearl and the family naturally fell into the habit
 "As I was saying, I haven't seen him in thirteen years and when manager in Los Angeles asked me if I wanted to go to Phoenix in mus sical stock, I just couldn't refuse this opportunity of paying him visit, and, incidentally. of making the cx- penses of the trip.
 You know, we are a very lnde- pendent family, a trait that we aic all very proud of, no doubt, you know Uncle Pearl ran away from home at very tender age because he wanted to make his own wa7. and arrived in Arizona with nothins but a gold pap. We are all very proud of his success"

RELIABILITY IF ADVERTISED
 GOODS |S NOW CONCEDED

A man who is an authority, on ad vertising said recently: You may have a business without advertising but you can't have advertising with out business.
 Just think of the full significance of that statement to the newspaper reader.
 It means that when you see any man advertising regularly in the better newspapers he must have something real and genuine to ad- vertise; that he has merchandise of such quality that it meets the needs of his customers, and that he is so sure of the desirability of what he has to offer that he is willing to spend real money to tell people about it. He knows that money spent in advertising is well spent, because he is so sure of his product that his chief problem in selling is to let everyone know what he has to sell.
 Knowing this, you can afford to let this valuable information offered you by the daily newspaper slip by you through your own negligence: :: Do you not owe it to yourself to keep up to the minute by reading regularly the advertising columns of good publications like THE EXAM INER?
