We quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1906: IT praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my c.cquaintances
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January 13,
1910, he says: II sfall ever III the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. i believe my miraculous cure
has boon the means of many others
being cured in this county
From a letter of September s., 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, i
do not feel that I have words to ex-
press the faith I have in its merits.
I feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, Of %prolonging my life for
more than ten years."
We quote a still later letter, October
81. 1912. He says: Il took a severe
cold three weeks ago. / at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two:
weeks. I am now better. 4 consider
that Peruna has carried me over a.
dozen years Of life. l always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna.'
We quote from his last letter, dated
January Q, 1918: Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years TO ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that You may
have a successful and happy year and
that your medicine MAJ prove q
blessing to many as it has to me, !
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell, Alabama, r. ;. p. p, Box

It is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
.quence and patlos Of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or af1davits. Who can doubt the
clergyrnan's story? Who car doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

being conspicuous over the whole

tifnl to give a CHEEKY appearance.
The reception rooms were. exquisite
in their beauty, with pennants clus-
tered, and streamers festooned in pro.
fusion, and tables prettily decorated
with purple and white asters were
arranged for the comfort of the
guests, and rugs adorned the floors

Salzburg marbles. The claim Is made
that this product is superior to
genuine marble, being much stronger,
more substantial, and less liable to
crack or damage. and that especially

Railroad Growth in china.

Milwaukee Sentinel: the first rail-
road in China, from Shanghai to Woo
sung, distance of eleven miles, was
publicly opened thirty-seyen years ago
today. The putting locomotives arous-
ed CONSERVATION and fear in the hearts
of the Chinese, ands the line had to be
constantly guarded 10 prevent them
from tearing up the track. So great
was the public clamor that the govern
ment bought the road, intending to de-
stroy it, but this decision was reversed,
and operation was resumed in 1877. In
the following year, however, the tracks
were torn up and all the portable prop
erty Of the pioneer Chinese railway
was removed to Fornosa. In a few
years other short lines were construct
ed and opposition to the innovation
gradually died out. In 1903 China had
$500 miles of5raiIway in operation and
1900 miles have been completed since
then, while over LOCO miles more are
projected or building. A great ma

FRIENDS FROM WEST BOOM
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR FOB.
COMMITTEE HEAD.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Senator p. ].
McCumber of North Dakota may be
named chairman of the republican
congressional committee. A boom in
his behalf has been started by mem
bers from the west. A senator has
never held this office. as the commit
tee in the past has worked only in the
interest of candidates for the house.
Now that the constitution has been
changed SO as to provide for the cleo
/ tion of senators by direct vote, the
complexion of the congressional COM
mittee will be changed somewhat.
Senators have served on the COM
mittee in the past, but usually they
have been assigned to it when there
were no republican members from a
given state.
Representative Woods of Iowa is a
candidate for the Craftsmanship. Rep
resentative Burke of South Dakota,
vice chairman of the committee, is In
line for the promotion, but he has
given notice that he would not accept
the place.
The committee soon will meet to or
ganize and it is the present purpose

RAIL WAY EARNINGS
SHOW INCREASE
GROSS INCOME FOR FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF YEAR WAS
CLOSE TO $5o,ooo,o0o.

st. Paul, Aug. 21.-Railroad gross
earnings for the first six months of
1913 in Minnesota will approximate
$50,OO0,000, an increase of IS per cent
over the same period last year. This
is shown by tabulated comparison
made for twenty four lines which have
reported, by Claudius Bomback, ac-
countant in the Office of State Auditor
Iverson. At per cent, the state tax
will amount to $2,5O0,O00 for this peri
cd, about $175,000 over the estimate
made by the tax commission.
Ten Roads Are Slow.
During the first six months of 1912
all roads reported earnings of $41, 49,
1886, and the tax at the old rate of
4 per cent was $1,658,367.46 This year,
with ten roads not reporting, the total
is. $22, 2,623,279.51 and the tax $1,131, :
1887. These same roads in 1912 re-
ported earnings of $18,S55, ,S4297, the
tax being 1854, ,930.26
Although the Omaha and Northern
Pacific have reported this year, the
comparison as to their earnings has
not been tabulated and is not included
in the above statistics. The Great
Northern, Burlington and Northwest
ern as yet have failed to report. The
earnings of the former are expected to
exceed $10,000,000 for the semi annual
period.
Extra Per Cent Counts Up.
The increase tax over last year due
to the per cent levy in the roads
tabulated amounts to $376,930.26:

Secretary Bryan's Peace Plan.

Philadelphia Record: Salvador is
the smallest of Central American
states, and the conclusion Of peace
treaty is of more Importance to that
republic than it is to the party of the
other part, namely, the United States.
The publication Of the text Of the con-
vention signed at Washington by the
secretary of state and the SalVadorian
minister is interesting, nevertheless, in
that it presents for the first time in
complete detail Mr. Bryan's plan of
universal! pacification. The high con-
tracing parties agree to submit for
investigation and report to an inter
national commission "all controversies
Of every nature whatsoever" which
diplomacy may fail to adjust. The
commission shall be given a year to
make it's investigation and report; and
the time may be extended by mutual
consent.
Meanwhile, the parties to the agree
ment pledge themselves not to begin
hostilities nor to increase their military
and naval programmes, except when
menaced from another quarter, in
which case confidential notice spf the
fact shall be given and the other party
shall also be released from it's obliga-
ton to- maintain the military and ma
val status quo. The parties reserve
complete liberty of action after the
submission of the report of the COM
mission; they may abide by it or not,
as they see fit.
On first impression this convention
would seem to hold the signatories to
practically nothing except suspension
or hostilities: and in a heated contro-
very this would not be very strong
reEance. Germany could keep up the
race for naval predominance in the
| North sea, this being her present and
Well known policy. We could add two
battleships a year to our fleet and
provide for an army and militia re-
serve of 100000 men; and, if this were
done in pursuance of regular plan it
could not be regarded as increase in
our military programme.
! There are saving graces in the con-
Ventton, however. The international
commissions must be appointed within
four months after ratification of the
treaty and vacancies must be filled ac-
jcording to the manner of original ap-
| pofntment. The commissions, therefore
will be permanent bodies, ready to act
at any moment and they may take ur
Investigations on their own initiative
the signatories agreeing to cooperate
/ The reports of the commission, to be
| prepared in triplicate, shall be filed
one in the archives of each contracting
government and the other in the
4 achives of the commission itself which
/ would probably be in the keeping o1
the permanent officers of the Hague
4 tribunal. If the senate should leave
these provisions in the treaties WE
would have a fairly workable proven.
