writes :,
Peruna is the finest regulator of a dis
ordered stomach I have ever found. It
certainty deserves high praise, for it is
skillfully prepared.
"I waa in a terrible condition from a
neglected ease of catarrh of the atom
ach. My food had long ceased to
be of any good and only distressed me
after eating. I waa nauseated, had
heartburn and headaches, and felt run
down completely. But in two weeks
after I took Peruna I was a changed
person. A few bottles of the medicine
made a great change, and in three
months my stomach was cleared of ca
tarrh. and my entire system in a better
condition. "-Genevive May.

CEAN MCHEDITM had aiwaya
lived In a largt city. Hht was a
atrlotic laaaie, and every year on
the Fourth of July she unci! to decorate
tht bout with flaga, play "Vanket Ioo
dlo" and all manner of patriotic tunea
on tbt old piano, and then, dreaaed In
patriotic color, with a flag In her hat,
one pinned to her drraa and ont Id her
hand, go to aome of tht aevtral celthra
tiona of tbt day.
Tula year Ocean waa away from the
city, In a little town where It waa quiet
er at noon that It urd to bt at midnight
In hir city home. Ocean rather liked It.
Hlit thought that when the proceailon
went ty on the Fourth of July ahe could
act the whole of it, and not bt crowded
by ao many hurrying people.
Aa Ocean hemme acquainted with the
boya and glrla In the little town ahe nak
ed them whit they did on the Fourth;
hut they were any of the city girl, and
ahe could not find out much about It.
The day before the holiday Oconu waa
very buay all day.
"What are you up to, Iaie?" asked
her mother.
'Tin getting all ready for to-niorrow,
mother."
"It will not bt the an me here, dear,
that It waa at home."
"Hut we're Americana, aren't we.
mother? They'll celebrate, won't they?"
"1 suppose they will, child."
Ocenn'a home waa on the principal
attvet of tht aleepy little town. When
the people woke up on the morning of
the Fourth, what ahould they aew but
Daga waving from the four front windows
of the Merediths' little cottage, the posts
of the porch twined with bunting, and
the red, white and blue wound about the
trunka of the trees just within the pal
ing fence. Before the morning dew waa
oft the grass, there on the porch waa
Ocean herself, a aweet little vision in
white, with red nnd blue rihhona In her
hnlr and annuid her waist, and wee flaga
tloiitinit from either shoulder. Some pass
ing children stared at her and at the
house. She ran out to the gate several
times, and peered engerly up and down
the street. There waa not a flag In sight,
nor a sound of fife and drum. Then
Ocean found her way tearfully to her
busy mother's side.
"Don't you think, mother, If their
grandfathers had been aoldiera, and their
brothers hnd belonged to the Volunteers,
they'd celebrate?"
"I think they would, Ocean, dear."
"Mother, may I celebrate?"
Ocean's hmother always let her little
girl do anything that was right, so she
said "Yes," and thought no more about
it. In half an hour there atood before
her a little soldier lassie, with a cap
perched on her curls and a drum alung
over her shoulders. ."I'm going to cele
brate, mother; I just cau't staud It!"
"All right, sweetheart.' Have as good
a time as you can. l'trlmi we can have
a little picnic lu the woods this after
noon." The people of the town heard the
Bound of a drum, and peered out their
doors. There, marching all alone through
the flusty street, beating her drum as her
brother had taught her, and singing
"Rally 'Hound the Flag, Boys," was a
little girl In white.
"For gracious sake!" cried Tom Peter
son, an old member of the Grand Army,
coming out of his house to see. "What
are you doing, little one?"
Ocean saluted gravely. "I'm celebrat
ing. Don't you know about the Fourth
here? My grandfather was a soldier.
My brother Is one, too. I was watching
for the procession, but it didn't come."
"So . you thought you'd celebrate?
Well, I vow! Bee here, wife!" '
Oceaa waited while a woman In a

COME here. son. Let's talk. " '
You smell of powder and burning punk. That rag on your finger
bide a born. It' is possible you will set fire to the bouse before the
day Is done. Tbe one thdng that seems good to you is noise NOISE
In big letters, with an explosion every second and joyous whoops In between.
Do you know whst It is all about?
Do you know why thousands of ton of gunpowder are burned? Why
80.000.000 of people take a holiday? Why flag are flying, band play "Tbe
Sbar 8pangled Bnnner," and from the Florida Keys to the coast of Maine the
folks feel a splendid burst of patriotism, and are. glad that they belong to this
beautiful country?
You don't Just understand, and
men In the country who couldn't tell tbe President's name, and other men
who have been so busy making money that they have forgotten the birth of
freedom and the devotion, heroism and self sacnSce that madd It posslblo
for the Unitnl States to become the first nation In the world.
Your gtvat-granddaddy waa a lad Mke )ou when the people decided to
be free. Tlxy wore governed by a king. lie ruled a country he bad never
seen. He was not a good king. lie oppressed the people. lie would not
rcuid their petitions for Justice. Tbe Americans were no more to him than
cnttle. He wa rich and big and powerful. He claimed, as kings do, tbut
hla right to rule nme from God.
There were no millionaires In the United States then. Nearly everybody
was poor and had to work. Very often many of them were hungry. Some
times they were shot down by Indiana while tilling their fields. Life In the
country was hard, and cities were few and far between. The people didn't
care about hardships. They were willing to go hungry, wear homespun
and go without hundreds of things that we think- we must have, but they
would not be slaves.
They wanted to le free; to govern themselves; to make their own laws.
They thought about It, they prayed about It, aud one day they defied the
king.
Then enme war and suffering. It would make you cry to even think'
about It. There wasn't much money, powder, medicine, clothing. There waa
a world of courage. History has never known braver men than those Con
lnental soldiers, who loved George Washington as you love your father, and
left bloody footprints as they marched.
Sometimes they won battles; sometimes they lost them. Mothers
mourned for dead husbands and sons. There were graves everywhere. There
were traitors, too; and It took stout hearts to keep on fighting, when the
oddn were so great "Uberty or death" was the cry. They meant It They
renlly were willing to die for their country. They were unselfish. They wore
rags. They fought for love. They saw their homes burned and their pos
sesions destroyed. And yet In the breasts of these meu was a fire that
rouldu't be quenched. They fought with scythes and clubs and axes, as
well ift guns. When there were no cannon balls they shot stones, and they
did not think that their homes, their money, their possessions, legs, arms,
even their lives werj too big a price to pay for liberty.
One day it wns all over, because right was stronger than wrong. A
nation waa bleeding from a thousand wounds, but it was free.
The people were no longer slaves of an unjust king, and America was
what God Intended men should make It the land of the free, the home of
the brave. ( ,
And that son, Is why we celebrate Independence Day. It Is to mark
the birth of liberty, to arouse love for the finest flag that was ever lifted by a
breere, to make you and millions more care more for your country; to make
you remember the grandness of the men who Ued that you, too, 'might be
free and share In the glories of a republic.
When you and the other millions of boys who are shooting firecrackers
grow up to be men, pray that you will not forget; that you will be as true and
loyal and brave and as unselfish as was that graud race of oaks that burst
the shackles forged by a king over a century ago.
Get your firecrackers! Start the plnwheels, shout as loud as you can

Into the house and came backwith aa
old fife and a tattered flag.
"I reckon your grandfather and me
were comrades, little one. Suppose we
go' see your mother a bit Then we'll
celebratt some more."
Ocean's heart beat high as she walked
by the old soldier's side back to her
mother's gate.
"If you will let us have your little girl
for a wkhlle, ma'am, we'll take care of
her. Actually we've forgotten how to be
patriotic in this town. There isn't a flag
lu town besides yours. If a a shame."

Fixing Railroad Rates.
Making railroad rates is like playing
a game of checkers or chees. Com man-
It iea to be benefited, prodacers, mana
fucturers or shippers to be aided, repre
sent the pieces need. Every poesible
move is studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic man
agers. A false move in the making of
freight rate may mean the ruin of
city, of a great manufacturing interest,
of an agricultural community. Rail
roads strive to build op all tbeee so
that each may bare an equal chance in
the abarp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are tbe rail
roads that in order to build op business
along their lines tbey frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictiate
rates. Rats making bas been a matter
of development; of mutual concessions
for mntual benefit. That is why the
railroads of the United States have vol
untarily made freight rates so much
lower in this country than tbey are on
tbe government-owned and operated
railways of E a rope and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates In tbe world.
