How to Use peruna
for Coughs and Colds

If Peruna were used at the begin.
ming of every cold, coughs would gen
orally be prevented.
After the cough begins Peruna VIII
generally stop it just as quickly as IL
ought to be stopped To stop cough
before all of the expectoration has
been removed is to do great injury.
After the expectoration has been
properly removed the cough will stop
itself. That is the only proper way
to stop q cough.
Occasionally cough depends upon
an irritable condition of the larynx
or bronchial tubes. in which there IS
little or no expectoration.
The problem Of stopping such
cough is slightly different one.
Even in those cases Peruna ought 10
be taken. but sometimes it is neces-
sary that local treatment be added.
Every one who has troublesome
cough or lingering cold should write
the Peruna Company. Columbus.
Ohio, for O free copy of the Ills Oh
Life" There is no free pamphlet dis-
tributed to-day of more real vaiue
to the sick and afflicted than the new
Ellis of Life" 1t is filled from cover
to cover with actual cases OF cough
colds and other climatic diseases m
all stages and complications. you
could scarcely fall to find your case
exactly described in this book.
To neglect to do everything possipie
to get rid Of stubborn cold OF
chronic cough is very unwise indeea.
Peruna has enjoyed great reputa-
ton as remedy In such cases Tor
thirty or forty years. AS a rule q
person who uses one bottle OF 1t Is
always afterwards an enthusiastic
advocate of Peruna. Peruna itself Is
a means of selling more Peruna than
all advertisements put together

cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets

Of George Thompson, Wayland man
who reported the loss of s66 to the
police last night.
Thompson admitted to the officers
last night that he could not identify
She men who are supposed to have
'frisked' him. The only way for the
police to connect the widely scattered
threads are through the work OF boy
named Ward who trailed the ouartette
and later brought Thompson to the sta
ton, and by giving the suspects the
third degree
Chief Kenney believed last night
that he had one of the three men sup
posed to have been connected with the
deal. The other two fellows were being
rounded up. The second man in the
city jail may be the second man in the
alleged hold-up and again he may not.
1t was established beyond doubt
that Thompson lost s66, not SIS as re-
ported in an evening paper yesterday.
Young Ward who did the detective
work in the afternoon saw Thompson
count out SIG on Twelfth and Main
streets. When he brought Thompson
to the station later, ten dollars was
founo on the Wayland man. The re-
mainder he believes was taken from
him.

Power Company to Connect will
City Water Plant:

Mr.. Mike Anthony, in charge Of the
power company's interests on this
side, met the superintendent Nof the
water works and comm sisonsr of
that department. this afternoon and
arranged for the power comp ny to
connect with the city's water mains
near the pump house. and run mains
connecting their works on this side,
so as to be supplied with water from
the city plant, rather than to main
tain their cwn pumps on this side
any longer. This will mean quite a
saving to the company as they have
had to have men in charge OF their
pumps day and night. They can re-
lieye themselves of this expense and
tear the pumps out as Wei as to
have pure filtered water all over the
works for drinking purposes In place
of having to carry as far as they
have been doing. The city will be
glad to have the power company as
water users, as they NEED more wat
er users to help sustain the plant
The work is to begin the first Of the
week.

NOVEL EFFECT
 OF THE CLIMATE
Blue Sky of Phoenix Com pels Maitland Davies to Renounce Allegiance of BoyhOOd and Become of the United States

The most novel effect of the Salt River Valley climate has just been brought to light with regmd to Inn pressario Maitland Davies, who is also dramatic critic and songster. Davies has been on the American stage num- Der of years. and for nearly twenty has been a resident of some portion of the United States. He is a native of St. Johns Province of Quebec Canada, and therefore not a citizen of the United States.
 For all these years he has been in the United States but not of it, and here is the dramatic entrance of the climate of this delightful section into the story. Nearly d year ago MT. Da- vies first came to this section To say he was delighted with the climate and all that he saw, and all whom he met, but poorly expresses the condition of his mind
 Phoenix has become his nome, he is of Phoenix and now desires to become permanently of the United States So
  yearning he made his way to the office of the United States court for the fed eral district of Arizona and took out his first papers. thereby declaring his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States.
 In doing this he is forced 10 renOunce all allegiance to all powers, and prin- cipalities, and potentates especially one George ", king of Great Britain and Ireland, and emperor of India, and the British Dominions beyond the seas; but seeing that he has had no person. al acquaintance with the gentleman in question having been in the United States all the time during his reign, the renOuncement was made without a pang. In fact the only pang that was felt in the whole performance was af- ter the swearing had been done when he found he had to wait two more years before he is eligible to register to vote. And he declares it was the climate that did it. He however is cOnstitutionally disqualified from be- ing president of the United States.
