Patten could be | ins duced to say such things if he did not honestly believe them to be true? ce” Remember, he says not only that he recommends Peruna as an invig- orating spring tonic, but also as one of the best remedies that he has ever tried for coughs, colds and catarrhal complaints, What are you going todo with such evidence? Are you going to turn away from it and listen only to the talk of people who probably never saw a bottle of Peruna, certainly never tried a bottle of it, who bhve nothing else to do but to talk about other people’s affairs? Are you going to listen to such people as that, rxxXxxxrxrrXs XAXAIIATITIALL 54322 4442-24152 i1T% instead of accepting the testimony of those who know? There may be a few people so constituted as to be able to perform such @ mental feat. But the sensible people, the reliable people, the brawn and brain of the world, who are governed by principles of justice and common sense, are going to accept the clear, pointed and undoubted testimony of a man of national repu- tation who knows what he is talking about, : , Perunais everything he says itis. It isan invigorating spring tonic, It is also a good remedy for coughs, We have many testimonials attesting to this fact Peruna is manufactured by the Peruna Drug Mfg. Co., Columbus, Ohio, The Missouri Law of Libel. St. Louls Globe-Democrat, By a vote almost unanimous the State Senate has passed the bill pro- viding that a newspaper may be sued for libel only {n the county where the person who brings the suit lives, or in the city or county where the newspaper is published. It is presumed that the House will pass the bill promptly and by a similar vote. The present law permits such a sult to be brought In any county of the State, which gives the plaintiff a power that may be oppressively or unfairly used. It was held by the Senate that the plaintiff can count upon justice in his own county, and he has that option in the proposed new law. Horse Makes Fool of Self. South Norwalk, Conn., April 19. —Socrates, an East Norwalk horse, owned by Asial Cameron, was tied to a post. Socrates took thie as an in- sult to his dignity. He chewed the rope in two and ran away ata ter- rific pace through crowded streets. Then he must have reasoned he was making a fool of himeelf, for he retraced his way to the post where he was found with the end of the hitching rope in his teeth. What would you take? Suppose you were required to live for @ certain length of time on only one article of food. Which would you choose? There is one food that stands without a rival for such a test. Quaker Oats is that one. It furnishes more strength with least wear and tear on the digestive organs than any other food. You'll feel well and strong at the end of the time. Try it. Don’t stop eating other things, but eat more Quaker Oats and you'll notice the gain in strength. The regular size package of Quaker Oats sells at 10c, the large family size The Art of Being Happy. From Success Magazine. “Cheerfulness,” says Ruskin, “1s as natural to the heart of maninstrong health as glow to his cheek, and wherever there {s habitual gloom, there must be elther bad alr, un- wholesome ‘food, {mproperly severe labor, or erring habits of life.” If children were taught that one of the great life duties is to unfold the fun-loving jside of their nature, the humorous side, there would not be so many suicides, so many unhappy, discordant, miserable people, so meny failures in the world. Why shouldn’t we develop the humor faculty, the fun loving facul- ty, juss as much as the bread earn- ing or any other faculty? Why should we think it so very necessary to spend years in going to school and college to develop other mental faculties, and yet take prac- tically no pains whatever to develop the humorous, the fun loving side of our nature?

Fines For Drunken Passengers Provided By Missouri’s House. Jefferson City, April—The house proved the consistency of its attitude on the liquor question by passing a prohibition law for passenger trains. Che monsure was the committee sub- stitute for the Murry bill, making {¢ unlawfol to drink or to “expose {n- toxtcating Iquors on passenger trains, or to ride In & passenger coach {n an intoxicated condition. The penalty is a fine of from $5 to $25. The votes stood ninety-seven for to twenty-six against. Whether the passage of the pro- hibition amendment by the house diminished the zeal\of the antl-pro- hibitionists {s not known, but the vote by which this bill passed {ndi- cates a change of sentiment on the part of some members, who fought regulation of all kinds of liquor. Representative Murry says he con- siders the measure one that Is great- ly needed. A PROTECTION FROM INSULTS, “Ib is. protection for women and children passengers from the insults of drunken persons,” Murry sald. Griffith, of Bates county, was an ardent supporter of the bill. “This measure will correct one of the great- est evils that Hquor creates,” hesaid, “I actually know of a wreck indirect- ly caused by drunken men several years ago between Butler and Rich Hill. The conductor, in quelling a disturbance among drunken pas- sengers, neglected to give the en- gineer of the train a copy ofa train order and @ wreck resulted. Persons Case of Old “Billy” Myers. Our editorial sympathies go out in one burst of fellow feeling to Old “Billy” Myers. We admit that until the other day we had never even heard of “Old Billy,” but now we feel that we have known him all of our lite and part of his. Old “Billy” Myers flashed for a fleeting moment across the horizon of public atten- tion when a dispatch was sent out from Columbus, O., that he had run away from an infirmary there and tramped to Buckeye lake, forty miles away, because the nice weather had started his fishing blood. He fell in- to a canal and came near drowning, but was rescued and taken back to the infirmary where he will be sup- plied with tackle and worms and will be allowed to fish In the Scloto river under the watchful eye of a guard. “Billy” Myers {s no mere slip of n youngster, He has already cele- brated his ninety-ninth birthday and {s well started on a century Mara- thon, But the frosts of years have not blighted “Billy’s” piscatorial en- thustasm and along about this time of year the sap of life begins to flow through hfs venerable velns. He justhas to fish, If all the otherdays of the year are delightful in the shel- tered hospitality of the infirmary, the fires warm days of spring make confinement {ntolerable, What ff he | does have to walk forty miles, fall into « canal and be fished out? It is worth the struggle and the danger. What wearled clty man {1s there who cannot understand and sympa- thize with this ancient angler?

Rich Hill Review, A report has reached Rich Hillfrom Hume to the effect that that little town {e all smiles over the bringing in of a paying gas well there. Drilling was commenced at Hume by experienced men with latest {m- proved machinery, only a few weeks since, and the gas flow is reported to have been found in tbe first hole put down at a depth of something like 500 feet. The well is on the Dr. Standish land, and a pressure of 80 pounds has been registered. Drilling 1s to be continued there, however, as here, with a view to bringing in a “gusher.” The well at Hume was all that was needed to demonstrate to certainty | that our gas fields extends to and connects with the big fields of south- ern and eastern Kansas, and the enthusiasts here are more sanguine , shan ever. pastry, light, fl Baking r Powde NO. 26 Years the Standard Apure, Cream of Tartar Pow- der.

Rich Hill Review, Just at time when everyone was in the highest expectancy, and when the entire country possessed with flattering prospects for a bumper fruit crop, Jack Frost steps in and delivers a crushing verdict, contrary to all hopes. Monday night's frost and freeze played havoc with peaches, the earlier variety of apples, and all ‘other frult that had been advanced, throughout this latitude, and the loss engendered will run up into the hondreds of thousands of dollars. Throughout the world-renowned fruit section of southern Missourt and northern Arkansas every grow- Ing thing {s reported to have been swept away, with the possible excep- tion of the very late apples.
