There are special reasons this year
why this should be the touchstone
of our people. We have just parsed
through a trying experience in our
financial history, of which the effects
have not yet left ns. There is pers
haps no one thing which would af-
i ford a gn ater amount of reli i to a
I large i art of oifr business men tlian
! for ve v creditor on their books to

| what they owe.
When once tins policy is adopted
and the practical operation of it ^et
! in motion it becomes really remark'
| able how much a dollar can aecom-
! plish. It T not merely a question ot
paying off a dollar’s worth of debt',
Lor ten or a hundred dollars worth
of obli.^a ions. But ev Ay debt paid
euab! s someone else to.pass along
thi* money through the channels o.
trade, cancelling ligations as i
o-oes, until ev rv u rih.r in th coui -e
of a day has perhaps d ne the work
of ten or a dozen dollars. On tli
! other band where everyone holds
! back nrtil some one else hss taken
the initiative, the movement is stifled
before it begins and the congestion
and embarrassment is felt through
out the entire community.
There is no railroad building be-
There is no wildcat banking as in
1818, 1837 and 1857.
There is no greenbaok endless

moon’s change, first <Ju*>rter, full

2. The space for this calculation

the more foul or wet weather may

days.

principally to the summer, though
affecting spring and autumn nearly
in the same ratio.
5. The moon’s change, first quar
ter, full and last quarter, happen
ing during six of the afternoon
hours, i. e., from four to ten, may
tallowed by fair weather; but
this is mostly dependent on the

A workingman’s home is usually one with, a large family. Children of
all ages and both sexes are being reared. They are subject to slight ail
ments, winter and summer. A doctor is sent for every time a'petty sick
ness occurs^ The expense will keep the family poor.
In such a household Peruna becomes a real blessing. It promptly meets
the most common ailments due to the cold of winter or the heat of
summer. A stitch in time saves nine. A dose or two .of Peruna pr?
serious and extended illness, many a time.
The working! en everywhere have come to realize that Peruna
v jrfcmjinan’s friend and saves him not only sickness, but a grea‘
dollars every year.
Rev. J. G. Duke?, Pastor of the Uni

writes:
