Are Medicines Wholly Useless?
Can The Masses Get Along Without Them?

dren, are all stumbling along needless
OF the laws Of Nature. A sudden at
tack of cold, a chill, cough, hoarse-
ness, tightness in the chest, bilious
ness, dyspepsia, any one of these
things is liable to occur at n time
in such a household.
Now, such people ought to have
Pe-ru-na. At the first symptom that
presents itself, or any disturbance of
the body, a few doses of -Pe-ru-na
should be taken. If the disease is
acute Pe-ru-na had better be taken
a t~easpoonfui every hour. If it is d
disturbance that allows the patient to
go about his usual business, taken
according to the directions on the
bottle is best. If this is done it
will save the people untold expense
and suffering. Not one ase in fifty
that comes under the care of the
doctor would occur if Pe-ru-na was
kept in the house and taken at the
very outset Of the trouble. Yes, all
this is true and more.
l have hoped all my life to live
to see the day when obedience to the
laws of Nature would be prevalent,
when the people would live so they
would not invite disease or provoke
disturbance in the body. But / have
not lived to see that day yet. I hardly
think l shall. But / have lived to
see the DAY When the people and
even the medical profession are very
much more interested in hygiene and
sanitation than they used to be.
At one time, as a writer, / seemed
to be all alone in trying to get the
people to listen and become obedient
to the laws governing their bodies.
Now there are writers galore saying
the same things. I am profoundly
grateful hat this is so.
So long as there are disobedient
ones, SO long We must have medicine.
Even those who are trying to be
obedient to the laws of Nature, try
ing their very best, need medicine
for unavoidable conditions that often
bring on some arrangement. If such
little arrangements were met prompt
ly with Pe-ru-na the day would more
quickly come when even Pe-ru-na.
would not be needed, the day when
the drug doctor would absolutely go
out Of. business. May that day hasten.
l shall do all / can while / do live
to hurry on the coming of that mil
lennium when all drugs will be rele-
gated to the rubbish heap m all
doctor books laid aside as curiosities.

MARck ON SPECIAL
TRAIN

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. SC. O..
Bunch, freight conductor ON the 500,
met with an accident at Wilton hat
will confine him to the hospital for
some time.
The engine of the train which he
was running was taking coal at the

shed when in some manner he step
ped over the opening and fell to the
ground floor.
He was taken on a special train and
rushed to Bismarck and to the st.
AleXius hospital, where he was given
what surgical attention he needed.
An examination disclosed the fact
that his lungs were slightly crushed,
his back bruised and some other min
or bruises. His condition is serious,
but his injuries are not considered as
fatal.
Conductor Bunch has a wife and
family residing in Minneapolis and
they have been notified and will be

You have perhaps noticed that a por-

What would l advise you to do
under the circumstances? l should
advise you to go right on as you
have been doing. Get along without

The laws of Nature are memorable,
but the rewards OF Nature are kind
and beneficient beyond all expression.
II o do these things you may dur
ing your whole life escape the neces-
sity of using medicine, but ever with
all this you may occasionally need
medicine.
But you must remember that you

The medicine Pe-ru-na is a cli-
matte medicine. 1t Is intended to

arise as the direct result of exposure

It is also intended to meet those

and biliousness.

better FARMING
PLAN ENDORSED

New Rockford, N. D., Feb. Sat a
meeting of the commercial club the
matter of encouraging corn culture
was taken up and a resolution was
passed endorsing the work of the Bet
ter Farming association in this county,
which is under the supervision of Elk
pert w. H. Burns. For the further
encouragement Of the culture OF corn,
the business men of New Rockford
will offer a large number of prizes in
gold for the best corr grown by the
school children of Eddy county dur
ing the season of 1913. Mayor Geo. NJ.
Pike, on behalf of H. Peoples & Co.,
has offered $50 in gold, while I. G. KEEL
lington, on behalf of the New Rock
ford Milling Co., offers $25 in gold.
A IVA Of the city will be made and
it is expected that there will be $500 in
prizes offered in this contest.
Fl. Peoples, one of the largest land
owners in this county, is offering $500
in gold to the alfalfa growers of the
county as an incentive for the farmers
to raise 1t on a large scale. This con
test is under the direction of Secretary
Cooper Of the Better Farming associa-
ton and the prizes will be awarded
next fall.
Farmers generally throughout the
county nave taken or the
work of the Better Farming association
and there has already been a great i'm
provement in farming methods, and il
will develop in much greater proper
ton during the season of 1913. Practic-
ally every farmer in the county is
farming; dairying is receiving atten-
ton; silos are being built, while many
carloads of thoroughbred cattle are
taking the place of the grade stock
heretofore predominant in this section.
The standard of horses is also being
raised, thoroughbred animals now be-
ing found in great numbers.
Every phase of farm work is receiv-
ing attention, and the result will be
that the farmers of this section will
hereafter receive greater returns for
their labors.
Great credit is due the Better Farm
ing association for this Improvement,
and they are being ably assisted in
this section by the New Rockford
Commercial club, and the many farm
ers' clubs being organized throughout
the county.

GAMBLER
HAS CONFESSED

New York, Feb. S.-Another gam
bier, James Purcell, under cover since
the beginning of the Charles Becker
trial for the Rosenthal murder, came
to the aid of the district attorney, it is
announced, to continue the disclos-
ures of police graft.
Purcell now tells a story giving the
names of men to whom he made pay
ments, the dates on which they were
made and other details. Police Com
missioner Waldo said Notwithstanding
the refusal of District Attorney Whit
man to permit Police Captain Walsh
to disclose his confession to the police,
the investigator by the police Of his
story will continue. Inspector SWeen-
ey, suspended as the result Of the
Walsh confession, made no statement,

act of two years ago candidates could
not contribute to campaign funds of
any party. Gardner favored the bill
and did not believe there was a chance
to, in n way, effect the corrupt
practice act. Hedalen was also in
favor of the bill as was Bass as un-
der the present conditions he stated
that the work of the campaign COM
mittees was hindered to an extent
that made them almost useless.
Streeter of Emmons stated that from
his past experience he believed that
the bill was a good one and should
pass. Sorlie suggested that the can
didates and h committees might go
to the people to look for their money
as they were the ones vitality inter
ested in getting the proper men to fiji
the offices, and said that he did not
like the bill. Burnett thought he saw
a slap at the poor mon who would
like TO run for office and stated hat
the corrupt practice act was passed
as a poor mans measure and that the
passage of the proposed bill would
mean that the fellow with the money
would have a. great advantage. AT
this time Owens moved the previous
question but there were not enough
with him to force 1t and 1t lost, but
a call for the question developed the
fact hat there was not any more
oratory In store for this particular
measure and a motion for indefinite
postponement carried although it was
necessary for the chair to ask for a
rising vote to determine whether the
ayes or the nays were in the ma
jority.
II. b. No. 241-By Bjornson and re-
lating to the filing Of tax receipts
by parties moving personal property
out of the county was referred to the
committee on railways for further
amendment as 1t was feared that the
wording of the bill was such that it
would make 1t imperative during
part of the year.
The committee of the whole was
called to order with Sorlie of Trail
in the chair and No. 221, which relates
to the assistance that nay be given
to voters unable to cast their own bal
lot, was the first considered. Since
the bill was introduced an amendment
has been made which provides that no
one person shall assist more than five
others in marking their ballot. Klien
asked that the bill be referred to the
committee on elections and election
privileges as it had first been before
the ways and means committee and
had not been considered by the cleo
ton committee. The motion carried.
II. B. No. 190-By Sorlie, which is
simply cutting out an unconstitutional
provision in one of the present rail-
road laws, relating to the issuance Of
family mileage books, was recommend
ed to pass.

ing and maintenance of sanitary toilet

motion was made that it be referred
Ito the committee of the whole which
finally was carried. House dill No. 4,
which defines usury and would re-
Iduce the legal rate OF interest was
also sent back with a divided com
mittee report and this went automat-
ically to the committee of the whole
house. At this point Representative
Bass offered a. resolution asking that
the chief clerk be authorized to Sc
cure 500 more copies of the commit
tee rules "aS the present supply had
been depleted" When some of the
more curious members wanted to know
why" IL was explained that some
one had made a mistake and ordered
500 originally and that the resolu-
| ton was offered as the best way to
kEet around and correct the mistake.
fThe resolution was adopted.
! Williams of Burleigh asked that
house bill No. 299, the capitol COM
mission bill be Withdrawn from the
printer for correction stating that 1t
had been necessary to draw the bill
UP in a hurry and that many correc-
tons were necessary before the bill
would serve the purpose for which
it was intended. The bin was allowed
to be withdrawn from the printer.
On the third reading and final pas
sage of house bills only one got
through the hopper that being No.

When No. 167 came up it was signal

office may make contribution to the
campaign fund of their political
party. Hoge, the author. explained
the purpose Of the bill and Lambert

DOG TRIES TO
EAT STEEL RAIL.

Kloten, N. D., Feb. 8.-Nels
Brekke, section foreman for Jim
Hill, reports an unusual happen
ing. While making the run over
his section east to Kloten the
other morning with his speeder,
he came across a dog that re-
fused to leave the track. Failing
TO scare the animal at a distance,
Mr.. Brekke approached closer to
the dog 'and to his surprise he
found that it was fast to the
rails, the animals tongue being
frozen to the frosty steel. He had
to use a small hand AK to loosen
the dogs tongue. The minute
the animal was freed 1t made for
warmer quarters at Kloten. Just
why the animal happened to be
caught in the act of holding down
the rails until Mr., Brekke arrived
cannot be accounted for, but it's
life was saved and no damage
was done to the railroad property.
However, if the dog had not been
discovered by Mr.. Brekke, No. 3,
would have made mince meat and
hash out of it's carcas and the en-
CINE would have carried frozen
bloodstains to- Devils Lake where
the engine wipers would have had
a pleasant job removing evidence
which might have led the en-
ployees to wonder if a human be-
ing had been killed. But it was
only a dog.
