We quote from another letter. dated
December 10. 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November 20.
1909. we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintance
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January 13.
1910. he says: II shall ever in the
future. as in the past. be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured In this county"
From a letter of September 5. 1911.
we quote a few words: II 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.
feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter. October
81. 1912. He says: 81 took a severe
cold three weeks ago. / at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking 1t two
weeks. I am now better consider
that Peruna has carried me over
dozen years of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna"
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1913: 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 may prove a
blessing to many as 1t has to me,
am yours as ever, c.. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. f. d. 2. Box
81"
1t is mot necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

that person to us. We'd like to see
him. As ranking Republican member
of the Ways and Means committee,
Fordney holds the most vitality import
ant position as far as the farmers and
manufacturers are concerned of any
Republican in the nation. Should
Republican congress be elected next
fall, Joe Fordney will be chairman of
the Ways and Means committee He is
the greatest living authority on the
tariff.
He showed how the new tariff
is bringing in millions of bushels
of the farm products Of other ma
lions to dlsplace those of Grstiot
farmers. In October and November
1911 but 4,212 bushels or four car loads
of oats were imported into the United
States while during the same months
last fall, 100000 bushels or 1857 car
loads were imported.
In one day 10 boat loads of oats from
the Argentine were landed and oats

imported to America in 1918 against
II, 900 the year before.
He showed how important is our
home market. Of the twenty mil.
hons manufactured and IL million
agricultural products 90 per cent is con.
,umed in the U. 8. Hence the impor.
lance of keeping laborers employed at
good wages.

MAY PREVENT CUT
IN P. R. R. FORCES
Officials See Good Prospects in In
creased Revenue From Gov
ernment For Carrying Mails

Reports from Philadelphia to-day
regarding the probable sweeping re-
trenchment on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road lines were more encouraging.
While 1t was not denied at the Broad
Street Station offices yesterday that
there would be a further retrench-
ment, it was said there might be a
way to prevent a widespread reduc-
ton. A dispatch from Philadelphia
says;
AT last the managers of the rail-
roads begin to think that there is a
chance of things coming their way.
There is good prospect of $4,000, 900
being added to the compensation for
carrying the mails and this will remove
one grievance which the railroads
have long complained about, especially
since the Inauguration of the parcel
post. This amounts to about $I2 per
annum per mile of road and IL Con-
gress puts the measure through as
recommended by the committee the
railroads will have gained a substan-
tial point
"As to the increased rates, the lines
operating in the territory between the
Ohio river and the Mississippi river
have already been allowed an Increase
of per cent. This is an entering
wedge and efforts are being made to
extend the zone over which the in
crease may be applied.
I'm Washington the opinion seems
to prevail that the several States will
adopt an attitude of leniency toward
the railroads. This was expressed in
the opinion of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its rate decision.
And again in reply made yesterday Ly
President Wilson to the railroad presi-
dents who waited upon him on
Wednesday, he says he is confident
that there will be earnest and active
cooperation to aid the railroads to
increase their income.
The PENNSYLVANIA lines west are
following the policy of the lines east
and they will also revise their pas
senger schedules and drop a number
of trains and make other reductions in
service.
The pruning knife has been cut
deep in railroad forces this year and
Washington is now looked to to pro-
vide some means to prevent the neces-
sity of further slashing. Railroad
credit must be upheld, as no carrier
can finance itself If its monthly on
erations continue to show a deficit"

BE REDED|CATED
The Rev. Mr.. Erdman, of Reading,
Presiding Elder, to Be Prin-
cipal Speaker

Elaborate ceremonies will mark the
rededication Sunday of Grace United
Evangelical Church, Lincoln street.
During the summer the church
building has been greatly enlarger and
altered. \ complete new front has
been built and an addition running the
entire length of the upper side has
been built. Five new class rooms
have been added to the rear and a
new tower erected. Beautiful stain
ed glass windows have replaced the
old, plain windows. Altogether the new
building presents a pleasing and i'm
pressive appearance.
With the charging of the exterior
number of Improvements and altera-
tions were made to the interior. The
mair auditorium has been enlarged,
the pulpit moved to the lower side and
placed. The entire church has been
recarpeted.
The principal speaker at the SER
vices Sunday will be the Rev. f. e.
Erdman, presiding elder, of Reading.
The Rev. Mr.. Erdman will address the
Sunday school at 9.15 and deliver the
sermon at the services at 1890. He
will also preside at the evening SER
vices.
The Evangelical chorus will fur
nish special music at Sunday school
and the Steelton male chorus will sing
at the morning services. The choir
has also prepared special music.
The pastor, the Rev. J. NJ. Shoop,
mainly through whose efforts the i'm
provements were brought about, has
extended an invitation to members of
all the other churches to attend at
least one of the services.
