Gov. Vetsey Makes Saving for

July 11.-By using hie fowl
net# experience and at the expense of
considerable effort, Governor Vessey
has Baved almost the amount of his
salary for two years, to the state, by
securing a reduction in the premiums

Water town, July 11.—Twenty years

$100,000 in an effort to capture tbe
state capital, and now that the debt
then contracted is about paid and its
people long since banished capitalistic
ambition from tneir boBoms, along
comes the governor of this young
commonwealth, of his own volition,
and temporarily puts the capital at
the city's feet. Roliert S. Veesey has
arrived here, accompanied by his pri

and during a portion of tbe coming
summer months will make this city
the state's executive headquarters.
Gov. Vessey will occupy the club

United States Asserts Right to
Share In Chinese loan.
Washington, July 12.—1Whatever
may be the attitude of the American
government regarding any right of
participation In the Haakow-Canton
railroad loan the fact is that it has
from the first claimed the right to a
fall quarter portion of that on the
Hupeh section of the Hankow-Sze
chuen line. This observation is called
forth by the diaputches from Peking
indicating the disposition of tho Rug
lish bankers to permit Aaiertcan par
tieipation In the Hankow-Canton loan
If it did not come in on the Szeohuen
line. The privilege of participation on
the latter road la claimed to be in
herent in view of thy promise to Mr.
Conger in 1904 and this oountry is
simply standing out for what it as
serts Is an undeniable rf*ht. It wants
also original participation in the 9ze
chuen loan, co-ordinately with the
other powers, both for political pres
tige and for the material benefit that
would accrue. After all, tt is pointed
out, the question reverts to that of
the "open door" for China, a chance
for all nations to participate In the
opportunities for trade and commerce
offered by the vast fields In the Ori
ent. Battling fcr the establishment
of the open door has cost life and
money and the United States is deter
mined that, so far aB lies in Its power,
this principle shall have full sway,
alike for the benefit of the Chinamen
aa well as for the nations seeking an
opening in their country.

PLEA FOR A SANE FOURTH.
Pastor Would Not Abolish Firecrackers,
but Bar Harmful Explosives.
The Rev. William Dayton Roberts,
pastor of Temple Presbyterian church,
in Philadelphia, recently pleaded with
Ills congregation to observe the Fourth
of July in a rational manner and to
Impress upon others the wisdom ln
this action. He condemned excessive
and unnecessary noisemaking and the
firing of harmful explosives, but de
clared he favored allowing the small
Inly effervescing with patriotism to
observe the day In milder ways.
"The United States Is again prepar
ing for the great national sacrifice on
the Fourth." said the pastor. "In the
large cities announcements are being
made that antitoxin is ready, cots and
ambulances at hand for any emergen
?les, surgeons prepared and the fire
department awaiting the call to ex
tinguish blazes caused by fireworks.
What this nation ought to do Is not to
save, but to prevent loss of life. In
juries and property loss.
"I would not abolish firecrackers ln
toto. but would prohibit tbe firing of
harmful explosives. Let the boy have
his handful of small firecrackers and
then let him attend some large pyro
teebnical display by the city and there
will be fewer accidents, fewer deaths
and less sorrow ln the homes of the
nation on the morning after. Accord
ing to the American Medical Journal,
the total accidents on each Fourth
averages 4.8K2 due to the exuberance
of children and culpable carelessness
of their parents. The total deaths on
Independence day in six years num
ber l.:500, all due to this carelessness."
During the sermon the pastor praised

other dtlex In their appeals to have

PEACE KING, UNCLE SAM.

deliver promptly to any part
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase tho flow of digestivo
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It will increase the
relish of food, tho appetite.
It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are so many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
a tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of diges
tion very lazily. Such a
stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for somo
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is tho result. This goes on week
after week, until tho blood is poisoned
with
the
products of fermentation. This
oondition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
It is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But it is
Claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
Cbused stomach to
.perform its work.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?
tt people were born right and after
Wards lived right, there would bo no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. Bo do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When a person live*
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he wets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows It very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People oat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. Tho only
rational euro is to eat correctly. Yet if
a palliative is at hand the pains of indi
gestion can bo mitigated, tho throes of
dyspepsia assuaged. Tho medieino can
not be said to havo cured. It simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
oure must come through right living.
COAL
If a jx'rson would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, tho blood wouid rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude of people who
will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta
tion of tho food, iHrings about normal
digestion, and all tho train of ills that
follow indigestion dhsapp«ar.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
havo acquired somo chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about a cure.
The whip does not increase tiie power
of the horse to pull a load, bat Judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illnstrates the effect of Peruna,
or any otht-r good remedy upon tho sys
tem. Taken at tho right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en. roachments of disease,
and us cuts short, if not entirely enda,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi
tute modicine in tho placo of right liv
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional uso
of tho right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will got wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will l»e needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the World is approaching that perfec
tion in which all medicine will be
elim*
inated, Peruna is a handy remedy to
havo In tho house.
Slight derangements of tho stomach
slight catarrhal attacks of tho liver, th«
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els theflo attacks aro sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
tho judicious use at Peruna.
