HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
THIS rs WORTH READING

The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-
palik, 1888 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length OF time
he was afflicted.
He writes: Il have been SUI
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
would catch cold and become SO
hoarse l could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief. -,
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time ! had
used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. I am on my second
bottle, Hereafter PE-RU-NA Will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins'
boating, belching gas, indigestion
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some Of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

RECOMMENDS VAST
LEVEE EXTENSIONS
COMMISSION REPORT TO CON-
GRESs CALLS FOR WORK
IN LOUISIANA.
ESTIMATE COST AT SIS, $4,000
Plans Call For Construction of 100
Miles of LeVees, ard Will Protect
100000 Aeres-Law of 1917
Gives Authority.

Washington, D. C. Construction
OF more than 100 miles of levees I'M
Louisiana were recommended to Con-
gress by the Mississippi River Com
mission and government engineers as
the most feasible plan to protect 900
GOO acres of land in the basins of he
Atchafalaya and the Red rivers, and
the area between Bayou Des CLASSES
and the Red river, from Mississippi
river flood waters. The cost Of the
work was estimated at $5,135,000
Separation Of the Atchafalaya from
the Mississippi was held to be unnec-
esSary, while the closing of the form-
er river at its head, so the river
would flow into the Mississippi was
opposed on the ground that this pl&n
would add to the Mississippi river
foods the full discharge of the Red
end the present flow from the Missis-
slppi to the Atchafaiaya.
The three plans have been under
consideration several years.
The report by the commission, and
in which the government engineers
concurred, declared the additional
protection to the Southern lands car
be carried out under the food control
act Of 1917. Appropriations from Con
gress, however, would be necessary
TO undertake the work.
"Leyees now extend down boti
sides of the Atachafalaya river for for
tv-seven and one-half miles, and pro
tect about 2,240 acres" declared tn
report.
These levees may be extende,
end thereby protec2 an additiona
area in the AtchaEalaya basin c
about 297.4O0 acres, at an estimate
cost of s1,S80,O00. In the basin b.
tween Bayou Des CLASSES ard the Re
river, $4,000 acres can be protecte
from Mississippi flood waters by e.
tending the levees down the rigr
bank OF the Red and down the Atcht
falaya to connect with the existir
: system at Bayou Des CLASSES, at a
, estimated cost of 81 n50, 900.
North of the Red river is an are
of $4,000 acres subject to overho0
OF this about 272.0OO acres west
The Black River can be protected
icvees at an estimated cost of 1928
ESQ, making total cost of $5,l3l,7'
I to protect about $4,000 acres.
