The Kind You Have Boupw Bears »he S'?? . S •ayaansM of J-tcZz&U The Club Locker a Bugaboo There is much more worry 'than the situation justifies in the matter of the club locker and the SSOO tax. It is more than likely that the scare will subside and be laugh ed at in the actual results which follow the experiment. There is no doubt that the tax -the size of it—was a mistake. It would have been better to have left the subject untouched with out a reminder of its possibili ties, or to have raised the tax in the beginning to $5,000, or at the lowest to SI,OOO. I n the matter of the counties the conditions are unchanged. The counties have no more right, and no less right to have clubs and lockers now than they had before the prohibition bill passed. Moreover, the tax itself was not a recognition of any right”of counties or cities to have liquor in club lockers, because in dis tinct terms it provided and de clared that nothing in that act should recognize or authorize the use of liquor in any possible way not provided for in the Hardman- Covington bill. But beyond these reflections looms the majestic shadow of the law. The individual or organiza tion that essays the club locker and the use or dispensing of liq uor in any way will find himself squarely up against the officers of justice, and will have to travel through the superior court be fore he can with impunity enjoy the questionable luxuries of his cocker and his liquor at his club. And behind all other considers tions stands the force and omnip otence of public opinion, which is backing this prohibition law t<> the last letter of fulfillment. In fact and finally it is evident that prudence and obedience is the wise cue of the liquor men and the liquor drinkers. Every consideration of discretion would suggest to them to go slow in tempting the law, backed by public opinion, in the experi merit. Atlanta Georgian.

Cameron, Healdsburg, Cai., member Daughters of America, writes: “Having tried many remedies for chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and not receiving any benefit, I began to think there was no help for me until I began to use Peruna. “In a short time the bronchial tubes began to clear, I did not have that ‘frog in my throat’ continually, my voice was not nearly so husky, and the wheezing noise disappeared. “I was soon able to believe that I was entirely free from catarrh, and as this was several months ago, I do not believe that it will return.” The above group of women could be multiplied by ten thousand without reaching the number that have been helped by taking Peruna. Mrs. Roxa Tyler, 6210 Madison Avenue, Chicago, 111., Vice President of the Illinois Woman’s Alliance, writes: “During the past year I gradually lost flesh and strength until I was unable to-perform my work properly. I tried different remedies, and finally Peruna was suggested to me. “It gave me new life and restored my strength. I cannot speak too highly of it.” FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED Six Cars Derailed and Track Badly Torn Up. A bad wreck occurred on the Central of Ga. railway near the Summerville Cotton Mills early Wednesday morning. Several enrs of a south bound through freight were derailed and the track completely torn up far a distance of about one hun dred yards. The wreck was caused by the spreading of the rails. Noone was injured, though the fireman had a narrow escape. When the cars began to pile up, he jumped from the engine and fell down a high embankment but escaped uninjured. The wrecking crew arrived about 9 o’clock and had the wreck cleared away so that trains could pass by 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Passengers on the morning trains were trans ferred. How’s This?

Miss Emily Koch, 914 Michigan Ave., Sheboygan, Wis., writes: “I can heartily recommend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. 1 had tried many things which did me no good and as a last resort I got a bottle of Peruna. “I only regret that I did not try it be fore I forced so much bad stuff into my Stomach. It has entirely cured me and 8s a preventative I always keep a bottle in the house. “I gladly recommend it to all who are afflicted as I was.” A Wasting Disease. The Golden Fleece. It was on Jan. 10, 1429, in the ancient city of Bruges that Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy and Brabant, set the climax upon the scene of indescribable splendor that formed the setting of his nuptials with Isabel of Portugal by issuing the proclamation which called into being the Order of the Golden Fleece, for centuries the most covet ed distinction for the mighty of this earth, the reward for stainless chiv alry and deeds of heroism and prow ess, forfeitable at the least deviation from the strictest code of knightly honor. The conduct of the sover eign himself, chief of the order, was subject to investigation and censure by the chapter, and many are the occasions when the assem bled knights availed themselvec of their dangerous privilege. Choosing a Charioteer. A certain king once required a charioteer. There were many can didates for the honor, and one by one they were brought before the king. He inquired of each, “If you were driving my chariot near a precipice how near could you steer without falling over?” The first said two feet, the next that he could go safely within a foot of the brink, a third that a few inches would be quite enough for him. A fourth came and, hearing the question, said at once, “If I were driving the king’s chariot I should consider it my duty to keep as far away as pos sible from the precipice.” The king felt that he was the safest man, and he was at once engaged. Pain of a Witness. An attorney, speaking of overwill ing witnesses who desire to make their evidence as strong as possible by the use of qualifying adjectives, said that their efforts were fre quently amusing. He then referred to a case in which a woman, who had met with an accident and was suing for damages, testified that she had suffered severely from “con densed” pain. She was injured on the left side and testified that when she sat down she had to sit “teeto tallv” on the right side. —Utica Ob server.

Paulina St., Chicago, 111., writes: “I suffered with catarrh of the bronchial tubes and bad a terrible cough ever since a child. When a child it was supposed to be whooping cough or the croup, but as I got older it got worse. “After a while it got so bad I had to cough both winter and summer. Fi nally I burst a blood vessel in my throat from the strain of coughing, next a blood vessel in my stomach, so I kept getting worse and doctoring, and even then could get no relief. “I went to a dispensary for treatment, but it all done me no good. At night I could never lie on my back. I would sit up until two or three o’clock in the morning before I could close my eyes. Then of course, I thought, and every body else that I had consumption. “Reading the papers about Peruna I decided to try it without the least hope thatit would do me any good. But after taking three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never got discouraged. “Now I can lie on my back and sleep all night, and you may well think how thankful 1 am for Peruna.” Notice to Creditors Georgia, Chattooga County.
