HON. LAI’S. I». M'COIll).
Hon. laps. i>. Mccord, ia-25 g st.,
Washington, I). C., Ex-Adjutant
General State of Tennessee, and State’s
Attorney at Nashville, is an ardent
friend of Peruna. He does not hesitate
to give public endorsement to this very
excellent remedy.
As a tonic Peruna has no superior.
But it is as a catarrh remedy it lias
achieved its world-wide notoriety and
success.
Any catarrh remedy to become per
manently effectual in the cure of ca
tarrh must contain tonic and invigorat
ing qualities with its anti-catarrhal
qualities. Catarrh Is always an expres
sion of nerve weakness, either local
or general. It is, therefore, important
that a catarrh remedy should possess
reliable invigorating qualities in order
to thoroughly rid the system of catarrh.

cure for colds and catarrhal com
plaints.”— R. S. Ryan.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers of the United States.
One of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 8,000,000 farmers. If during a
year each of those farmers can be
saved $10 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, it means a saving of
$80,000,000 annually; but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation of the good goads
movement saves each farmer in the
land from $50 to $100. Thus it can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds of millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has be
come so recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates of road improvement, and
there is a civic pride and friendly com
petition in the matter of having good
roads leading to the towns. The work
of road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number of state legislatures
have taken up the work and during
the next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the bulldiag and
maintenance of public highways.
Iron Known to Ancient Egyptian*.
That Iron was known to the Egyp
tians, even In the earliest times, is
evident from their conspicuous metal
lurgical knowledge, and from the facts
that the working of granite and por
phyry Is scarcely conceivable without
steel tools, that the oldest tombs have
inscriptions referring to iron, and that
sources of supply of manganlferous
iron ore were found by Prof. Bauer
maa in upper Egypt.

“Strong Even In Death."
There is a characteristic story of
an American woman—formerly well
known in London—that will bear re
peating, says a writer in London
Truth. The lady is said to have
written the following letter to a royal
personage:
“Sir—My medicinal attendants have
just informed me that I am in a
hopeless condition. I should dis hap
py did 1 know that you w'ould be rep
resented at my funeral. I inclose a
check for £1,000 to cover all ex
penses.”
Love’s Magic Power.
George had been away on business
for a whole long week, and during that
time he had sent Clara ten letters, six
postal cards and 42 picture postcards.
Why, then, was there a touch of
coldness in her greeting when he flew
to her arms on his return?
“Dearest,” he whispered, “what is
the matter?”
"Oh, George,” she said, “you didn’t
send me a kiss in your ninth letter!”
“My precious,” he replied, “that
night I had steak and onions for din
ner, and you wouldn't have liked a
kis6 aft ter onions, would you?”—Stray
Stories.
Be Not Afraid.
He has not learned the lesson of
his life who does not every day sur
mount a fear. If you have no faith
in a beneficent power above you, but
see only an adamantine fate coiling
its folds about nature and man, then
reflect that the best use of fate is to
teach us courage. If you have no con
fidence in any foreign mind then be
brave because there is always ono
good opinion W'hich must always be
of Importance to you—namely, your
own.—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
