DR.. Hartman Says:

Want to Know the Truth.
The following letter was received
by DR. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. If ! should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
Their particulars? ! have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely

couraged me from doing so. l am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam i do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them. so much controversy concern
ing them, l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
| wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman 10 dnOtner. l WISH you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
} whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
: | hope you will remember that she
is housewife, like yourself, that she
, has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman of mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. l hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
I both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
!, Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh l would be very glad
u to hear of the result. | can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
e ter, except by your written consent
g. Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
e have me use her letter which is my
g reason for doing so, and you will be
q treated exactly as she has been.

FIRE MARSHAL TROuSDALE GIVES
FIGURES ON USELESS
FIRE WASTE.
LOCAL LOSS ABOUT S3.OOO.00O
Great Difference Between European
and American Statistics-Pre-
vention Day October 9.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New Orleans.-State Fire Marshal
Trousdale has been circulating the fol
lowing facts regarding fire losses ana
fire prevention:
Gov. l.. Z. Hall has, By proclama-
ton, designated October 9th as Fire
Prevention Day" in Louisiana.
The mayors of all cities and towns
throughout the State have been re
Quested by this department 10 issue
proclamations in their respective To-
calities along the lines suggested III
that of the governor.
Besides the annual fire loss OF
$3.50. 1000, 900 of which Louisiana alone
contributes about s3,OOO.OOO. the total
annual fire protection and fire insur-
ance amounts to over $150,000,OOO.
The per capita loss of Western Eu-
rope is 33c, and the number of fires for
every 10000 population is eight. In
the United States the per capita loss
is $500 and the number of fires Tor
every 10000 of population is forty.
Berlin with a population of 100000,
has an annual fire loss of $4,000.
Chicago with a population OF 100000
has an annual loss of s5,000000. Ber-
lin appropriates 100000 for its fire
department, Chicago s3,000,Oo0.
THE solution of the fire waste prob
lem lies in fire prevention. The peo-
pie must be taught that it is irrational
to spend millions a year in putting out
| fires and scarcely anything for fire
prevention. It would cost infinitely
less to prevent fires than TO extinguish
them. With proper precaution taken
by property owners and property hold
ers, at least 60 per cent OF the fire
waste would be eliminated.

RED CROSS IMPROVEMENTS
Should Be Organized Like Fire De-
partment, Says BickneIl.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington The American Red
Cross must be organized like a fire
department with adequate headquar-
ters and centralized organizations be-
fore it can measure up to its real pow
er. said Edward p. Bicknell, national
director of the Red Cross, before a
subcommittee of the Senate finance
committee.
Miss Mabel I. Boardman, chairman
of the national relief committee; Gen.
Geo. w. Davis, former judge advocate,
general of the army; Senator Burton
and Mr.. Bicknell urged the Senate
committee to put into the pending def
cheney appropriation bill an appropria-
tion of 100000 for building for the
Red Cross, to be a memorial TO the
northern and southern women of the
Civil war.
Miss Boardman said the Red Cross
administered fully s10,000,000 in re-
lief work during the last seven and a
half years. The construction of the
proposed memorial building would cost
100000 and the Red Cross has receiv.
ed pledges of much of the additional
$500, 900.

Joseph e. Wing of Mechanicsburg,
O., discussed scientific fertilizing and
the manner by which funds TO accom-
plish it would be obtained.
When farmers in the states east of
the Missouri river have learned TO re-
store their sour and poor fields by
scientific fertilizing, they need no
longer fear competition from abroad
Mr.. Wing told agriculturists. The
financing of this general soil enrich
ment could be done after some plan
formulated by the American farmers,
who have made a study of the agricul-
tural credit systems of Europe, he as
serted.
The resolutions adopted by the con
gress urged the enactment of more
stringent prohibition against the sale
of colored oleomargarine, asked for
federal investigation of speculative
land frauds and favored the teaching
of farm economics in the public
schools aid colleges. State legisla-
lures and Congress were urged to en-
act legislation designed to curb the
growth of the water power monopolies
and TO legalize and protect co-opera-
tive enterprises organized in the in
terest of consumers and producers.
The congress criticised the recent
invitation of European banks and rural
credit systems made by government
commission because of the absence OF
a representative of the farmers on the
commission, demanded an amendment
to the federal banking laws providing
for the establishment of rural banks
and rebuked the banking interests for
seeking to fasten their own rural cred
it system upon the people.
