' Breathe Through
The Nose
Nose breathing is essential to good health. Drawing the air
through the nose warms it. strains out the dust and presents it to
the lungs in a fit state, guarding the lungs against chilling and the
bad effects of dirt The lungs need plenty of fresh air every day, to
properly oxidize the blood. Plenty of oxygen in the blood bums
out the dross and renders it ready for excretion. Then with the
proper laxative health can be easily maintained.
Tonic-Laxative
Next to fresh air is tne importance of regular bowels. In all
cases of sluggish bowels a tonic laxative should be used. To com
bine tonic qualities with a laxative is the latest achievement in
medical science. Laxatives naturally depress. The tonic element
removes that objection. Peruna should lie in every household be
- cause it fulfills every quality to make it an effective tonic laxative.
Many people who have used Peruna are able to say truthfully, “I
am now enjoying perfect health.”

J. T. Slatter of Birmingham
Appears Before Commer
cial Club—Hepburn
Act Violated
7 Pullman. March 7— (Special.)—J. T.
Slatter. associated in official capacity
w-lth the Merchants’ and Manufacturers'
association of Birmingham, addressed
the Commercial club ami a number of
citisens at this place last night. Mr.
Blatter wa.s both entertaining and in
structive, being considered an author fly
on his theme—railroad freight rates.
Mr. Blatter said that a violation of the
Hepburn act was clearly shown in the
f comparison of charges made to Birming
ham and Hccatur, in which as much as
12 per cent was charged in many in
stances for the shorter haul, than was
charged in the long haul. He said that
Cullman could have this matter easily
adjusted by an appeal to the interstate
commerce commission, In the cases al
ready filed, and that within the state
the Alabama railroad commission would
have the adjustment of t> e rates within
Its power. He also cited the Case re
, cently decided in which Will Soheuing
was reimbursed by the Bouisville and
Nashville 1175 on shipments of beer from
St. Bouts.
Cndev the law. Mr. Blatter said. Claim's
for excess charges for two years back
can be collected. The secretary of the
1. club presented a tabulated list of rates
jSiid the excess charges claimed in this
(list amount to almost $100,000 annually.
The adjustment of this rate question
will mean a doubling or the population
of this city In 10 years, the establish
ment of numerous small Industries, and
great development of the agricultural
wealth of the county, because of greater
■hipping facilities.
The .Commercial club has brought many
Investors to this city, looking out loca
tions for plants and industries, and they
have 7>een unanimous in their approval
of the’ location until the freight rate was
Investigated. That invariably ended the
matter. The high freight rate has caused
the close-down of tho plants in opera
tion. A body of business men of Cull
man If ill appear before the Alabama com
mission May IS, in regard to intrastate
rates. •

Joshua B. Crawford of Atlanta leaving
his entire estate, which is approximately
$150,000, to his widow, Mrs. Alary Bell

exercised undue influence over her aged
