to see the membership of the G. A. R.
increased. It is only thru this organiz
ation that the soldiers) have ever se
cured anything and it is only thru this
they ever will. Of course the number
of posts have decreased of late. Many
of the small posts of a membership of
te-n or twelve have boon compelled to
disband, as their membership grow
less. These posts can never be reor
ganized. But is is possible to have
their members united with posts else
where. It is hoped to de a great deal
along this line in the next year. Where
there area few of the veterans in small
towns or localities and it is impossible
to keep up a post, an effort will be
made to have them become members
of the nearest jxjst in their vicinity.
The membership in this way will be
largely increased and many posts will
be strengthened."

work done by Department Commander
Madison 13. Davis. Dr. C.. A. Newman,
assistant adjutant general, said that
Mr. Davis hart done- a large amount of
quiet, persistent work for the better
ment t' the department. It is prob
able. the general order by which Mr.

York City, has the following to say of
Peruna:
"1 am glad to write my endorse

as a nerve tonic. I do so most

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is
due toanemic
nervo centers. The norve centers are

These centers become bloodless for want
of proper nutrition. This i3 especially
true in the spring season. Every spring
a host of invalids are produced as the

Peruna is in great favor among
