At the last meeting, April q, there was
an attendance OF forty. II Was decided to
write the Pomona grange to meet here
June.24. There was work in the second
degree, and one member was reinsiated.
After a social half hour, during which
ice-cream and cake were served by the
committee, short program was presented,
consisting OF music by chorus, readings
and piano solo.
The effort during the past months to
make the monthly full moon meetings
especially interesting has met with
decided success, and this grange recon-
mends the plan to other oranges.

course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as a gentle
laxative, but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention Of disease than in the cure.
After a person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, Dr. some one who can give
the case his personal attention. But
long before this happens the person
will complain of this Or that symptom,
which is not severe enough to interfere
with his regular activities. If at this
place before the disease has really
gained a foothold in the system, a per-

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

good tonic laxative the great majority
of cases Of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be
kept in the house. It's virtue as a
preventive to disease is the thing I
wish chiefly to emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation
may lead to serious sluggishness of
the bowels, biliousness, re-absorption
of poisonous material and finally
sickness. Or apathy of the stomach
in which the food is not relished, may
gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or
to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one Of these condi-
ions a few doses of the tonic laxative
Peruna would set matters right. This
is why the remedy should always be
kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as a
household remedy is understood MO
home would be without it. Cathartics,
pills and powders would be discarded.
Irritating tonics would be no longer
taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no
place. With a few doses of Peruna a
vigorous appetite is produced and if
there be any sluggishness of the
bowels their function is gradually re-
stored.
Most laxatives are weakening In
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become so thoroughly
established that all medicines are su-
perfluous, Peruna will be needed. 1t is
exactly the remedy that meets numer
Gus necessities Of the household. Sold
at all drug stores.
Mr.. John B. Perkins, % Whiting St,
Plymouth, Mass, writes: 81 think Pc
runa is a number one medicine. 1 was
troubled with catarrh and bowel COM
plant. / tried several doctors, but
could only find temporary relief. I
took Peruna and am glad to say that
it cured my catarrh and corrected my
bowels" PERUNA IS FOR SALE AT

REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD BARTHoLDT.
our national government with regard
to legislation by independent states af-
fecting the rights and privileges of
noncitizens or citizens of other coun-
tries or treaty rights Of other countries
was felt to be a serious defect in our
scheme OF government The contro-
versy with Japan has simply made
this defect Ga result OF the compromise
which made the adoption of the consti-
tuition possible) an acute question.
IF we are really a nation with a big
m and not merely a federation Of
states the power to legislate on such
matters should be reserved to congress
exclusively, and the constitutional
amendment which | propose provides
for just that and nothing else.
Zone of the most important func-
tons of every government is to pre-
serve the peace. In fact, this is one
of the cardinal reasons why govern
ments are instituted among men, but
how can u own national government
succeed In this great mission when
any state by its w independent ac-
ton can cause trouble with foreign
nations whenever its legislators see
fit to do so? There ought not to be
any objection to the proposed amend
ment on the part of any state.
"The national government is obliged
to make the cause of any state its
own. so that the action Of an indivld-
ual state can involve che whole nation
In war, and In return for this protec-
ton 1t Is but fair, 1t seems, that the
national government should have ex-
elusive power OF legislation In matters
affecting u international relations"
