To the intervention of Postmaster Caruthers on behalf of the pistol fac- tortes of this city, they as well a% all others in that line, have had the par- eels post service made. available for them for the sending of pistols in whole or in parts through the mail by parcels post.

George Whitaker as clerk, if he could read the oath, swore in the prisoner beeutifully, but when - depending on memory was sadly muddled.

Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, held its regular meeting Friday evening in Buckingham Memorial and routine business was brought up for consid- eration. The newly elected command- er, Orrin M, Price, presided for the first time. the strict sense of the word. It as- sists Nature in getting rid of the ac- cumulated mucus in the bronchial tubes. It assists, first, by strength- ening the nerves that control the act of coughing. And, second, by its ex- pectorant effect the mucus discharges are slightly thinned, making them easier to expectorate. Im= other words, Pe-ru-na acts with Nature. Any one taking Pe-ru-na will very quickly find himself better able to cough. The cough seems to be more satisfactory. It is a deeper cough, in which the mucus 1is raised and eastly expectorated. - Pe-ru-na relleves cough by removing the cause of the cough. It works in exactly the same ay as every other medicine ought to work, in harmony with Nature. 1913 OVERLAND CAR is here.
