= who attended the sessions of the the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence last Saturday declares that of the commission. The commission, appointed by both the United States and Canadian gov- ernments, has been requested by the two governments to submit a report covering all phases of the St. Lawrence deep waterway project and the meeting at Cheyenne was held to obtain infor- mation for that report. The members of the commission are former Senator Obadiah Gardner of. Maine and Former Senator C. D. Clark of Wyoming, for the United States; Charles A. McGrath, Henry A. Powell and Sir William H. Hearst, former pre- mier of Ontario, for Canada. Ex-Senator Clark of Wyoming was not present at the Segre, having been excused for the day to attend to some important business matters. Charles Pp. Craig of Duluth, executive director of the Tidewater association, was with the commission and assisted in con- ducting the hearing, —_ The session opened Saturday at 10 a, m. with Mr. A. D. Kelley of Chey- enne presiding. Mr. Kelley stated to the commission that the people of Wyo- ming were not as thoroughly posted on the work of the commission as they would like to be, but that he assumed that the entire state was interested, in increasing markéting facilities, and that if the proposed project when completed would aid Wyoming in that respect, that the cities of Cheyenne and Casper at least were for it. Senator Gardner of the commission, outlined briefly the function of the joint commission, stating that it seemed necessary at every hearing for him to ain that the members of the com- mission were not interested in promot- ing a deep waterway scheme for sel- fish interests, but that they were ap- pointed bythe two governments to se- cure information from tributary states and provinces to“~be submitted in a de- tailed report, this report to be made to both governments for the informa- tion and guidance of their law-making bodies. Mr. A. L. Reich of Washington, D.

Palace. 6-1-2t - This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor When a doctor uses a medicine him- self besides prescribing it to his patients, he must know that it has merit. This is what Dr. J. H. Wagner, a prom- inent physician of Skate, Kentucky, has to say about Dr. Hartman’s well-known remedy, PE-RU-NA: “I have used PE- RU-NA myself for catarrh and have given it to others for catarrh, bloating after eating and other ailments. It has proved a success in all cases with old and yoyng men and women. All speak well of PE-RU-NA. It is the best of all tonics.” Dr. Wagner, out of the fullness 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- edanger his professional reputation by endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be- yond a doubt of its value. Whether your trouble be a cough or a cold, or a more subtle catarrhal effection of the stomach, bowels or other organs, give PE-RU-NA a trial. The immediate improvement which you will see will sat- isfy beyond a doubt that PE-RU-NA iswhat you need. PE-RU VA may be purchased anywhere in tablet or liquid form.
