END BRIDGE CASE
Mitchell County Tax Payers Do
Not Like Compromise.
Commissioners Settled $4,000
Claim for $4,000.

CaWker City, Kan, Feb. 1S.-In re-
Spouse to requests, the Cawker town
ship committee of taxpayers who have
been prosecuting the bridge cases.
in this county today sent SO copies of
the pamphlet they used last spring in
their campaign of education, to mem
bers of the legislature. 1t was Mitch
ell county which recently recovered
$4,000 from the Midland Bridge COM
pany in settlement of claims against
the company of about $4,000 for
false meaSurem entS and poor work
manship on bridges.
This settlement was made by the
county commissioners, and that it has
not proven very popular is shown by
the fact that meetings have been held
during the last week and committees
appointed from Walnut, HAYES and
Center townships, to Cooperate with
the Cawker township committee which
has been pushing the investigation in
to the bridge business of the county.
Other meetings are scheduled for the
near future, and county organization
will be perfected to look after matters.
Two criminal cases against repre-
sentatives of the bridge company are
still pending in district court and the
attorney generals office has been ap-
pealed to for assistance. Under the
circumstances the taxpayers of this
county are very much interested in all
road and bridge legislation now be-
fore the legislature. and they are par
ticularly anxious that H B. 230 pro-
viding for a state highway commits
sion, and H. B. 511, known as 1.-The
pure bridge bill" be passed.

What you are after is, first to cure
yourself of your trouble; and, second
to gain experience so that you may

Peruna- If it cures you then you know
what to get next time. If it does not
cure you and it proves to be worthless,
you know what to avoid.
In taking advertised medicines that

learning to distinguish between those
remedies that help and those that do

BABESARE DEADLY
Seyenty-Five Lance Head
Snakes Born in Zoo.
Venom Will Be Used to Treat
Insane Persons.

New York, Feb. 1S.-Seventy- five
baby snakes of the species known as
the lance-head born in the Bronx zoo
yesterday are gladly welcomed al
though they are the most deadly rep
tile known. Since discovery that the
venom of the lance-head had been
marvelously beneficial in treating in
sanity and other brain troubles
when scientifically used, efforts have
been made to breed the reptiles here.
The success now attained is the result
of several years work, during which
many of the reptiles have been taken
alive in the island of Trinidad at the
peril of many naturalists, only to die
soon after being brought here.
Experts will extract the virulent
venom from the seventy-five baby
lance-heads, as soon as they are a few
months old. The method is to pin the
head down with a forked stick and
hold before it a glass topped with
cheese cloth. The snake furiously
buries his fangs in the cloth and
spurts the venom into the glass re-
ceiver About a pound of it, it was
SAID at the zoo, would kill the whole
Mexican army"

can conscientiously say that there are
just as good medicines in the drug
store, compounded in a mandatory,
advertised for sale to the people, just
as good medicines of this kind as the
medicines that the doctors prescribe.
All our best remedies have been first
found by common experience. The tes-
timony of one person and an other has
spread the news and finally it's use has
become general.
This is exactly the way Peruna has
spread among the people. 1t has not
been advertising that has sold Peruna-
Sometimes advertising sells the first
bottle to a person. but afterwards it
must be the merits of Peruna that sell
it.
One person takes Peruna and is cured
of a cough, or cold, catarrh, lung
disease or kidney disease, or stomach
disease. Some one of these derange-
ments which perhaps the doctors have
failed to cure, Peruna relieves. He
tells his neighbor about it, His neigh
Dor tries it for the same purpose and
is cured also. He again tells it, and
so the news is spread.
Yes, I mean to put myself on record
as saying it is from the experience of
the common people that we must ex-
pect to sift out the genuine remedies
from the many spurious ones claiming
attention.
AS doctor myself who has spent
many years in the study and practice
of medicine, I say and shall say again
many times that Peruna is the best
remedy 1 know of to meet the common,
every day climatic ailments to which
the household is subject. And If 1
were keeping house as you are, try
ing to keep free from debt and disease,
I should certainly keep bottle of Pc
runa in the house all the time. NO. 5S.

Makes Your Hair
Soft and Fluffy

Most shampoo mixtures says Mrs.
Mae Martyr, in the Philadelphia
Times, rob the scalp of all oily Sc
cretion, leaving it dry and harsh, and
the hair grows brittle and is hard to

ing hair and premature greyness,
aging a woman ten years.
A reliable shampoo mixture can be
made at home by dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox in a teacup of
hot water Pour this on the scalp and
rub well, then rinse carefully, and
you will find it leaves the hair soft and
