MOVING THE STATE FAIR.

[Des Moines Tribune.1
II you want to hear the Des Motnes
newspapers growl just suggest that the
state fair be passed Observation-Disclosures
Herald.
There Is nothing the Des Moines
newspapers would like better than to
have the proposal to pass the state fair
around submitted to the newspapers
of the state, or to the people of the
state.
The state fair is in Des Moines not
because 1t accommodates Des Moines,
but because it accommodates the state
outside Of Des Moines.
The Importance of the state fair to
Des Moines has been constantly over
stated. AS a trade bringer 1t is sur
passed by nearly every important state
gathering. The annual meeting of the
state teachers means twice as much to
Des Moines as the state fair. There are
many convention Des Moines would
spend time and effort and money for
before anything at all would be done
to retain the state fair.
The state fair is properly located
at Des Moines because the state Is con-
venienced. But that is the only rea-
son and nobody in Des Moines has
ever been heard publicly or privately
to give any other.
To move the state fair about would
ruin the fair. That is why nobody in
Des Moines or out Of Des Moines would
FAVOR It If it were seriously proposed.
THE IOWA ROAD LAWS.
[Cedar Rapids Gazette[
That the much discussed and often
derided Iowa road law passed by the
last general assembly is accomplishing
a great work in the improvement of the
roads turnout the state can not be
disputed by any fair minded person who
will compare road conditions today with
those Of two years ago. While the law
may have some defects the fact remains
that the result aimed at by the legis-
lature Is being gained and Iowa is en-
joying vastly better roads today than
at any previous time in history.
The drag law is in no small way
responsible for the improved conditions,
but the greatest change for the better
Is in the bridges and culverts. It Is
practically impossible to drive any
distance into the country at present
without passing from two to dozen
places where wood bridges are being
replaced with concrete. The old wood
bridge with it's loose planks, holes and
high approaches is rapidly becoming a
thing of the past. and there are COM
paratively few left in Iowa now.
No longer can Linn county. in this
connection, be pointed out as having
the worst roads in Iowa" There has
been a great deal Of real road work
ACCOMPLISHED in our own county during
the last year or two, and roads that
were formerly avoided by farmers and
automobilists whenever possible are
now In excellent shape. There are still
sections. Of course, particularly in the
northwestern part of the county. where
the roads are still bad. but this is due
to the sandy character of the soil rather
than to the lack of attention.
1t has been long time coming. but
the day IS near at hand when the citi-
zens Of Iowa, like those of New York
and Wayne county. Michigan, can point
with pride to their roads.

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands OF business, the wants Of the

more mum rous The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly en- IN a
weakened or debilitate condition of the
nervous system, which results in dys

Gle irly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the sytem, give vigor and
tone to the nerves, and keep the di,

Some people have nasal catarrh
and know it. Not only the patient
knows it, but all of his friends know
it. Many people know it that are not
his friends. Just those people who
happen to meet him il the street car
or on the public square.
That sort of nasal catarrh need
not be described. Everybody knows
the symptoms without their disgust
ing recital.
Peruna helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited Peruna benefits even the
worst cases of old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases of nasal ca
tarrh not so evident. One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus in the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish Jumps.
Catch cold easily. Never quite free
of a cold. These symptoms describe
a case of subacute nasal catarrh.
Many people have it, and some who
would not admit they have nasal ca
taTrh.
He knows he must blow his nose
freely. He remembers that he does
not breathe easily through the nose.

You Have Nasal Catarrh
Not Very Bad, Butt
= It Bothers You a Good Deal.

He recalls the fact that he shores
some now, whereas he did not pre-
Viously.
Subacute nasal catarrh! Or we
might call it incipient nasal catarrh.
Or, still better nasal catarrh just be-
ginning and becoming chronic.
Now is the time to take Peruna.
A little Peruna will do wonders at
this stage of the disease. Snuff a lit
tie weak salt water every morning
(see "Ills of Life" sent free by Pc
runa Co., Columbus, Ohio), just
enough to clear out the nose. Take
a dose of Peruna before breakfast.
Hold it in the mouth. Let it trickle
down slowly and breathe the fumes
of it out through the nose as you
swallow it.
This will stop an incipient case of
nasal catarrh in a few weeks. Stop
it entirely. The nose becomes clear
again. The breath is sweet. The
breathing free. No more snoring, or
snuf1ing, or shifting, or catching
cold easily. All of these things are
in the past.
An army of men and women have
been benefited by Peruna. You might
as we'll become one Of the benefited
ones as to allow it to go on any
further.

BEST STORIES AT LITTLE COST

The fiction writer is having his inning
these days Good short stories are
commanding prices that range from SIS
to $3.50 apiece, according to the fame of
the author, while the demand grows
keener every day. 1t is an extremely
expensive thing to publish a high-class
magazine nowadays, filled with the
work of the most famous authors and
artists. Yet it is exact such maya
zine that The Chicago Record Herald
furnishes as regular part of it's Sunday
issue.
The Sunday Magazine ofThe Record
Herald is a real ma gazine, beautifully
Illustrated by the foremost artists of the
day and filled with the best stories,
articles and serial novels that money
can buy. BY clever stoke of enter
prise year or two ago it's editors turn
ed steady stream of the finest short
stories into its co umns. We refer to it's
$40, 700 prize contest. The result of that
unique contest has been to raise the
Sunday Magazine ofThe Record Herald
to the top rank as regards short stories
and serial novels. 1t now numbers
among it's contributors such writer's as
Conan Doyle, Rider Haggard, Jack
London, Rex Beach, Roy Norton, Owen
Johnson, Amelia Riyes, Molly Elliott
SeaweIl, George Barr McCutcheon
Richard LaGal ienne, Lloyd Osbourne-
and so on through long list of noted
names. The il STATIONS, too, as fine as
the stories, being the work of FIagg,
