SUFFERED SEVEN YEARS
With Catarrhal Derangements of
the Pelvic Organs.
Hundreds of Dollars
Spent In Vain—Pe
ru-na Cured.
(cmf
Miss Kate Brown, Recording Secre
tary of the L. C. 1$. Association of Kan
sas, in a letter from 005 N. Seventh st.,
Kansas City, Kan., says:
" For seven years I have not known
what It was to spend a wetI day.
I caught a severe cold which I neglected.
It was at the time of menstruation and
inflammation set in and prostrated me.
Catarrh of the kidneys and bladder fol
lowed, my digestive organs gave wav,
in fact the cold disarranged my whole
system.
“ / spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors and medicine, but derived but
little benefit until 1 began treatment
with Peruna. I kept taking it for nearly
nine months before I was completely
cured, but I kept growing better gradu
ally so that I felt encouraged to continup
taking Peruna until my health was re
stored. I send my thanks and blessings
to you for Peruna.”—Miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently tiie
cause of death.
Itis moreoften, however, thecause of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
_ Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

How mi Iowa County Mnnaaes t»
Collect and Deliver It» t'hil
dreu at School.
The distance to which children may
be advantageously conveyed varies
with the character of the roads, but
the average is about four miles, and
the longest route should hardly ex
ceed six miles. In an Iowa county
six contracts were made for 1900-1,
each covering one of six routes.
When the roads are muddy the driv
ers begin to collect children as enrly
as 7:15 to 8:15 a. m., returning them
to their homes at 4:45 to 5:45 p. m.
The contractors are held to careful
restrictions. They must furnish suit
able covered vehicles, safe and strong,
with comfortable seats; strong, safe
and quiet teams, with proper har
nesses; warm, comfortable blankets
or robes sufficient for the best pro
tection and comfort of each and all
of the pupils to and from the pubfTO
school building and their respective
homes—all to be subject to the in
spection and approval of the school
board. They must arrive at the
schoolhouse not earlier that 8:40 a.
m., or later than 8:45. They must per
sonally drive and manage their -own
teams; they may not drive faster
than a trot, or race with others; they
must conduct themselves properly,
refrain from improper language in
the presence of pupils, and from the
use of liquor and tobacco; and they
must keep order and report improper
conduct on the part of scholars. Each
contractor, except one, who receives
$25, receives $30 per month, and half
a month’s pay is retained to insure
the fulfillment of the details of the
contract.” The cost of schooling per
pupil in 1900 was but $2.31, against
$5.03 under the old system of scat
tered schools. Attendance rose from
90 to 200, and first-class teaching was
substituted for the impoverished cur
riculum and poor instruction of the
older way.—Forum.
ILLITERACY AMONG WHITES.
Mach to Be Done Before White Il
literacy In the South Can
he Reduced.
That there is much to be done be
fore white illiteracy in the southern
states can be reduced to a more de
sirable percentage, may be seen from
the following statement of the per
cent, of illiteracy of both races taken
from the federal census of 1900:
White. Colored.
Alabama .14.2 59.5
Arkansas .10.8 44.8
Florida. 8.0 39.4
Georgia.12.1 56.3
Louisiana .20.3 61.2
Mississippi. 8.3 53.2
North Carolina .19.0 53.1
South Carolina .12.6 54.7
Tennessee.14.5 47.6
Virginia .12.5 52.5
Mississippi recently made a liberal
appropriation for popular education,
although it already has the smallest
per cent, of illiteracy among, the
whites and the negro majority in the
state is in the neighborhood of 70,000.
It might be thought that the small
percentage of illiteracy among the
whites in a “black state” such as
Mississippi is due to the fact that in
such a state the white employer class
is relatively larger and the white la
boring class relatively smaller than
in other states. But the figures for
South Carolina, another black state,
show a larger percentage of white il
literacy than is found in Virginia,
Georgia, Florida or Arkansas, all of
which have considerable white majori
ties. Greater interest in education
would therefore seem to be the main
cause of Mississippi’s enviubly low
percentage of white illiteracy.—Ma
con (Ga.) Telegraph.
Local Taxation for Schools.
Those towns and cities (and rural
communities) [that have adopted lo
cal taxation] have adopted the only
means at hand for the adequate edu
cation of their children. In adopting
this principle of local taxation they
secured, first, adequate school funds;
second, competent supervision; third,
skilled teachers. Lacking any one of
this educational trinity no community
has ever yet succeeded in establishing
the means of complete education for
its children.—North Carolina Declara
tion Against Illiteracy.
A Lion In the Path.
The recent organization of the
women of North Carolina into an as
sociation to promote the building and
improvement of school houses in the
rural districts is an event of deep
satisfaction. If that organization
can be extended into every school dis
trict in the state, it will revolution
ize the public schools of the state.
The poor school house in a lion in the
path of rapid progress.—Raleigh (N.
C.) News and Observer.
A Self-Evident Truth.
The strength of every community is
dependent, upon the average of the
intelligence of that community, and
this intelligeisd* is dependent upon
the education of the entire mass, and
not of the few.—Gov. C. B. Aycock
of North Carolina.
—A good school house in a district
begets a spirit of self-reliance that
will have an elevating Influence on in
tellectual and social life.—Joseph £»
Robinson.
