This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When a doctor uses a medicine him-
self besides prescribing 1t to his patients.
he must know that 1t has merit.
This is what DR.. J. II. Wagner, a prom
inent physician OF Skate, Kentucky. has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-knovu
remedy. PE-RU-NA: IL have used pr
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given II TO others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. II has
proved a success In all cases with old
and young men and All speak
well Of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best Of all
tonics."
DIR. Wagner. out Of the f~ullness OF his
own personal experience, for the good of
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure a doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond a doubt Of it's value.
Whether your trouble be a cough or a
cold, or a more subtle catarrhal election

War Department Makes De-
lay In Order to Correct
Some Errors.

Washlngton.-Thc war department.
has again delayed publication of the
names OF draft deserters which 1t
served notice several months ago
would be disclosed, Reasons for this
delay. 1t was announced this week,
were several, one being that more time
should be given to correct the lists
IN order that no injustice should be
done. But Hsistencc Of governors Of
several states that the lists be COM
pared with state records. il was dis
closed, was primary cause Tor the de-
lay.
The governor Of Wisconsin was one
who insisted upon careful compari-
son of tine war department records and
tn" records Of his state before the
names Of draft deserters were pub
lished
Information has been received with
in the last few days from two OF the
smaller states that enabled The depart
mclst to eliminate 50 names from the
list of deserters, the war department
reported
One OF The reasons for giving pub
LEFTY 20 the fact thai ;he list of de-
serters was to be published was 10
cause all those persons in whose mind
there existed doubt as to their final
status to write to the war department
in order that their records could be
investigated and then eliminated from
the list" the war department an
nounced This has resulted in the
elimination of number of names from
the list
Whatever delay has occurred is at
tributed TO the fact that every neces-
sary precaution is being taken to in
sure the elimination from the list of
all names that do not properly belong
on it, To publish the name OF an in
dividual who actually served his coun
try honorablyI during the world war
would do him irreparabie injury, as
no subsequent announcement by the
department q the individual himself
could compls. ly remove the blemish
from his nam9 Or mend his damaged
reputation"
Latest figures in the adjutant gen
erals office give the total number OF
draft deserters as 498,043.
An examination of the records prior
to July Is, 1919, resulted in the deter
mination that 1884 of the number
reported as deserters had enlisted in
our own armies and those of the al
lies, or had been enormously exclud
ed so that the total of net assertions
was reduced thereby to 237,649.
OF the last number 1878 had been
apprehended prior to July Is, 1919
and their cases disposed of by the mill
tary authorities, leaving an actual bal
ance of outstanding assertions on that
date of 1881.
