Newspaper Work in Russia.
Newspaper work In Russia is not
pleasant. The government spends
more money on its press censors than
on Its schools. Last year eighty-three
papers were suspended for various
periods, and twenty-six were forbid-
den to accept all advertisements,
while 259 editors were told they could
have a short vacation in Siberia If
they continued their methods of re-
viving various public questions.

The Robust Phyaique Can Stand Mora
Coffee Than a Weak One.
A young Virginian Bays: "Having
a naturally robust constitution far
above the average and not having a
nervous temperament, my system was
able to resist the inroads upon It
by the use of coffee for some years but
finally the strain began to tell.
"For ten years I have been employ-
ed as telegraph operator and type-
writer by a railroad In thlB section
aud until two years ago I had used cof-
fee continually from the time 1 wae
eight years old, nearly 20 years.
"The work of operating the tele-
graph key Is a great strain upon the
nerves and after the day's work was
over I would feel nervous. Irritable,
run down and toward the last suffer-
ed greatly from Insomnia and neu-
ralgia. As I never Indulged In intoxi-
cating liquors, drugs or tobacco in
any form I came to the conclusion
that coffce and tea were causing the
gradual break-down of my nervous
system and having read an article In i
the Medical Magazine on the composi- |
tlon of cofTee and its toxic effect upon
the system, I was fully convinced that
coffce was the cause of my trouble.
"Seeing Postum spoke.i of as not
having any of the deteriorating ef-
fects of coffee I decided to give up the
stimulant and give Postum a trial. The
result was agreeably surprising. After
a time my nerves became wonderfully
strong. I can do all my work at the
telegraph key and typewriter with far
greater ease than ever before. My
weight has Incrased 35 pounds. my
general health keeping pace with it.
and I aiu a new man and a better one."

WHOLESALE 7UBLIC LAND FRAUDS
To Oat Poaaaaaloa Of Laada laalaM
Within Faraat R«s rvatlan .
Washington, Feb. 2a—As a result of
the investigation of the alleged whole-
sale public land frauds in many west-
ern states the grand jury in the District
of Columbia reported a joint indictment
for conspiracy against several parties
in California and Arizona.
The indictment is a voluminous doc-
ument and sets forth a number of
transactions by which land is alleged
to have been fraudulently acquired
from the government in California,
Oregon, Washington, Nevada and else-
where. Most of these transactions are
alleged to have occurred under the lieu
laud law. It Is charged that all the
parties indicted on Dec. 30, 1901, in thi*
city conspired with other parties to the
grand jury unknown, to defraud the
United States out of the possession and
title to numerous large tracts of public
lands of the United States open and to
be opened to selection in lieu of lands
included or to be included within for-
est reserves in various Rtates, the con
spiracy being carried out by means of
"false and fraudulent practices."
The Indictment charges that there
were false representations in all these
transactions. In pursuance of this
u.Ieged conspiracy thus carried through
by dummy applicants, certain unsur-
veyed tracts in the Oiympia, Washing-
ton, land district, and other lands
specifically cited, were secured, In-
cluding large tracts in the Visalia and
Vancouver land district in Washington,
in the Woodward land district in Okla-
homa, the Cascade range forest reserve
country In Oregon, the San Francisco
land district and the Carson City, Nev..
land district.

V] Illji^p^
congressman meekison. of ohio.
Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State but throughout
America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor
of the town in which l o lives, during which time he became
founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elect ed to the Flfty-fifth
Congress a very largo majority, aud is tho acknowledged leader of his party In his
880 Onlv one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman.
Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was hls °nly unwn-
quered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this pei wnal
enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated tho following letter to
Dr. Hartman as tho result:
! • . • a _ ^1 M n^^..as« f 4mmi #>
•«1 have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly braafited
thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that It
I uaa It a abort time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of
thirty yean' atandlng. " -David Meekison, ex-member of Congress.
THE season of catching cold Is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful of diseases, is
a oold.
This Is the way the chronic catarrh gen-
erally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts In the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which Incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or 1ms
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit-
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos-
trils stopped up, full feeling In the head
and sore, Inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop-
erly used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronio catarrh.
While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure.
Peruna has cured cases innumerable
of catarrh of twenty years' standing.
It Is the best, if not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than euro.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight-
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.
Mrs. A. Snedeker, Cartersville,
writes; _
•'I saw that your catarrh remedy, Pe-
runa, was doing others so much good,
that I thought I

The Best Results In Starching
can be obtained only by using Defiance
Starch, besides getting 4 oz. more for same
money—no cooking required.
It is well to know some people well
enough not to know them.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers Bay they uon't keep De-
fiance Starch. This is because they have a
stock on hand of other brunds containing
onlv 12 oz. in a package, which thoy won't
be able to sell first, because Defiance con-
tains 1ft oz. for tho same money.
Do you want 16 oz. instead of 13 oz. for
■ame money) Then buy Defiance Starch.
Requires no cooking.
The road to prosperity goes right
past the saloons without stopping.
