The kid's little game is as "old its the hills" and con sists of tendering a large bill in pav inent for a very small purchase,and af ter receiving his change and pur chase, claims be had meant to tender a smaller bill, and producing it, asks to again mase the change and return him the first tender.

Inasmuch as a law to guarantee, or provide for the insur ance of baDk deposits, was among the platform pledges, the redemption of that pledge is a matter of general in terest. Several bills were introduced early in the session, one of which passed the house. It has been re riuted as passed by the house, and is pending before the Benate committee to be reported at an early day. As prac tically agreed upon by the committee, it will provide as follows: The "State Association of Inoorpor ated Banks" shall consist of not less than 100 existing banks, whose aggre gate capital shall be not lees than fl/HiO.OOO. Each shall send to the state treasurer a statement of it" capi tal. surplus and average daily depo nits. The membership fee is flOO for banks with flii.ooo capital and ranges up to $170 for a bank with #100,000 capital. The premium to oe paid on organizing or joining, shall be one mill on each dollar of the sum of its aver age daily deposits, and the same to be raid annually thereafter. The state treasurer shall issue to each a certifi i ate of membership to be framed and bung up in the bank, which certi6cat» -tates that the fund thus created shall be applied to the prompt payment of the loss of all deposits in any bank thus insured which shall fail. Should tueh fund lie insufficient to cover tin 1 oss it shall be distributed pro rata and the balance shall be paid out of tbe in surance fund as soon as a sufficient sum shall have accumulated. After tne fcftod shall have become sufficiently large, tbe public examiuer, state treasurer and auditor, who shall constitute a board of commissioners, may reduce the annual premium, and may again increase it if necessary National banks are eligible to mem bership.

It is made a fel ony for any officer of an association hank to fail to comply with the terms of the act.

It will also recommend increasing the minimum capital for banks entering the ation to $15,000. NOW UP TO THE PRESIDENT Negro ft*Enlietment Bill Passes the House.

GRAIN CO., The Facts About Pe-ru na. Is Peruna an alcoholic beverage in disguise? Is it possible to use PeruM Es a substitute for whiskey Do people buy Peruna and use it a bitters, or a bracer? It would be the easiest thing in the world for any one to demonstrate the falsity of such statements. Let any one go to the drug store and purchase a bat* tie of Peruna. Let him undertake to use it as a beverage, or take this remedy in doses considerably larger than those prescribed on the bottle. Would the result be alcoholic intoxication Nothing of the sort Let any one try it and see. Peruna is a medical compound quite heavily loaded with medicinal ingred* lents. If taken in doses larger than prescribed it would produce a positive drug effect. No one could take it as a beverage. If any one doubts these stat#» ments, try it and see. We know that Peruna cannot be used as a bever* sge, that it will not intoxicate that it cannot be used as a substitute for liquors. We guarantee that PERUNA CONTAINS NO CHEAP WHISKEY— OR ANY OTHER WHISKEY, for that matter. It contains a small per cent, of cologne spirits, absolutely essential to dkh »lve and hold in solution medicinal ingredients, but the drugs contained la Peruna prohibit its use as a beverage. It would be the easiest thing in t)M world for any one to demonstrate this if they chose to do so. Peruna is sold everywhere. THE INGREDIENTS APF! PLAINLY PRINTED ON EACH BOTTLE. It has been said over and over again that chemists have analyzed Peruna and found it to contain only cuLebs and whiskey. Now we challenge any chemist to demonstrate any such statement. Let any one who has even a smattering knowledge of chemistry purchase bottle of Peruna and see whether or not it contains whiskey, find out for him self whether or not it is composed of cheap whiskey and cubebs. Of course cubebs is one of the ingredients of Peruna, but there are many other ingred ients. It contains hydrastis canadensis, corydalis formosa, collinsonia, and at least four other medicinal ingredients. To be sure, no chemist could so ana lyze Peruna as to be able to identify the various medicinal ingredients. This is beyond the ability of any chemist. But any ordinary chemist would be able to say that Peruna is heavily loaded with medicinal ingredients of some kiniH in addition to cubebs. Now why are these statements repeated when their falsity could be easily demonstrated? Simply because there is continued hostility toward Pe runa on the part of the medical profession. Very likely the magazines which took np the crusade against Peruna and denounced it as a cheap beverage were misled by statements of the medical profession. Probably they were sincere in their attitude towards it But now, after all these things have been said and refuted, it would seem to be in order for such people to use a little fairness and common sense in the matter. Every time any one says that Perona is nothing bat cheap whiskey and cubebs he is telling a lie, an absolute falsehood. Most people intend to speak the truth. But the prevalent habit of repeating other people's statements, without investigation as to their truth, has led many well-meaning people to lay these false things about Peruna. Used according to the directions on the bottle^ PERUNA 18 A SAFS AND RELIABLE CATARRH REMEDY, but, like any other good medicine il taken in excess of those doses, it will produce drug effects very unpleasant'to the person who takes it. It is therefore up to every honest person to quit making such concerning Peruna, or acknowledge that he is repeating slanders about which he knows nothing. One might just as well say that Castor Oil is an intoxicant* that if taken in large enough doses it will operate as a "booze If neonle never tried to see, but simply repeated such statements about Castor OiL thi majority of people would come to believe them. It is no easier to demonstrate such a statement about Castor Oil than it would "My three year old boy wa.s badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition. I gave him two doses of Folev's Orino Laxative and the next morning the fevor was gone and he WHS ent.rely well. Foley's Orino Laxative saved his life." A. Wolkueh, Cssimer, Wis.—J. H. Anderson. A COAL as a toddy be ox statements about Peruna. Any one who takes Peruna knows that such statements are false To SST that Peruna is cheap whiskey and cubebs may constitute good material for jokes on the vaudeville stage, but there is no excuse for any one who nretenfe to be truthftil saying over again this oft-repeated falsehood.
