ttyi: "I keep
SPeruna In the
house constant-
ly. When I am
not feeling: well
i take a tew
4oBen. It always
restores."
I Mrs. Mueller's
Btory of her ex-
perience with
Peruna fully ex-
plains why she
always keeps
Peruna 011 hand. MRS- M. MUELLER.
A few years ago P' w B n* Co*' pUwl®y•
ahe was very **ne *an'
sick. The trouble seemed to be the
stomach and liver. She suffered
Breat pain. Was unable to get any-
thing to help her. She was growing
weaker and weaker. She became
tired of life.
1 Somebody suggested that she write
to the Peruna Co. She did so.
SThr.ough their advice she began to
use Peruna. Tn a letter from her at
thia time she says: "Through the
use of Peruna I have regained my
health. I took only a bottle and a
half when I was able to sleep and
eat again and my nervousness disap-
peared." No wonder Mrs. Mueller
keeps Peruna in the house. Under
similar circumstances. Peruna would
be la every house in the land.
Any one taking Peruna ought to
have a free copy of the "Ills of Life."
Address Peruna Co., Columbus, Ohio.

cinee can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

START YOUR LIVER,
DON'T STOP WORK.
Dodson's Liver Tone Acts Mild
ly, but Surely. Livens Up
the Liver and You Stay
On Your Feet.
It is the experience of calomel
users tliat if they take enough of
the drug to. have the desired ef-
fect, it seriously interferes with
their work the day after. But
this is the least important item,
for calomel is often a dangerous
drug and a cts on the system vio-
lently.
Don't take chances with calo-
mel. Gtet a bottle of the pleas-
ant, safe and perfectly harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone, guaranteed
to take the place of calomel. In-
stead of making you fed worse
the next day it makes you feel
better—'and you actually are bet-
ter, for no remedy in the whole
world livens up the liver, regu-
lates the bowcJls and really reju-
venates the system amy better
than this dose.
You are tho soOe judge of its
merits. II. C. Roller is fully au-
thorized to hood you back your
money without question if it fails
to please you—and relieve you.
Remember, if you feel consti-
pated and bilious, what you need
is Dodson's Liver Tone. A
large bottle and a good guaran-
tee for 50 cents from H. C. Rol-
ler.

COOPERATION
COMMON SENCE
Froiu a college puofossor,
Charles L$. Aiust/mi, of tho IJiniiver-
sity <jf Texas, who was one of
the American cumimiisKkvui to
study European rural credits, ant
who, together with other Texas
members, has just retiwnud, h«s
come I lie briefest report the < '«>
Operator h as seen, ajmd all so th e
<Hue containing the nnost healthy
germ of common sense.
Professor Austin says: "The
adoption of any system of improv
ed i'tawnices ttor the fawner, or a
system of co-operation marketing
is not a question of constitution
aaid by-laws. My European ex-
perience led me to believe strong-
er than ever that it is a question
of the underlying social forces.
Germany is credited with being
the birthplace of the financial
find eoioperative miovements
which have m^anit so mudh to the
European farmer and peasant..
But no European country has
adopted bodily the German sys-
tem ; eae.lt v'uUiiuiy has its
econoinic conditions. Even with
a modification of the system it
is going to require something
more than legislative enactment
to get the people to adopt a pol-
icy of business for service and
not ixxr jirofit, or io adopt a «o-
operaitive bamking system with
the motto of Raiffeisen, 'One for
all and aill tor one.' Co-operatiot
doen not <'Oine through the law;
it comes through the spirit. Ill
the end, it will be the American
faiuner who will give the eounr
try a working, beneficial system
of co-operative rural credit, mar-
keting, production or otherwise.'
Tlie meat; of this opinion is
summed up in the sentence "Co-
operation does not come through
the law; it comes through the
spirit.'
Or, in other words, com-
missions may investigate and re-
port and recommend, governors
may proclaim, organizations of
farmers may pass resolutions, leg
islatnires and congresses may
pass bills—but, after alll, the
origination ivownr for mak-
ing co-operation effective among
farmers lies in the hands
of the farmers themselves. Co-
operation i.s a question of 'un-
derlying social forces,' as Prof.
Austin puts it im his schiollasitfc
language.
Tluat, is, if the people of a com-
munity want to co-operate and
have the determination to do so,
they will find a way. The 'way'
is incidental to the determina-
tion."—Texas Farm Co-Opera-
tion.
