the interior department. Desirable
lands subject to disposition under the
homestead law can no longer be found
in large quantities except when an
Indian reservation is opened and then
they are eageriy sought. So many in-
quiries arc made about the Kiowa and
Wichita lands that it is manifest there
will be several times as many appli-
cants as there are tracts.
The Wichita reservation will be em-
braced in a separate land district, with
aland office at El Reno. Deducting the
lands allotted to Indians and reserved
for school purposes, there will be 3,122
tracts of ISO acres each to be disposed
of to homestead claimants. The great-
er portion of this is fine land, but some
of it is not of sufficient value to justify
comply ing with the horns,ead law to
obtain title to it.
The Kiowa reservation will be an-
other laud district, with a land office
near Fort Sill, Deducting the lands
allotted to Indians and reserved for
school and other purposes, there will
he 10,351 tracts of 1G0 acres each to be
disposed of to homesteaders. These
are generally good lands, but this res-
ervation contains a greater per ccntage
of land of no value.
The highest number of homestead
claims which could be taken in the
two reservations, even if all of the
lands were desirable, is 13,473. The
indications are that there will be easily
40,000 app’ican's. Some of these are
doomed to disappointment. There are
not enough lands for all. The two
reservations may be opened at the
same time but the opening of each will
be us separately conducted as if they
were a thousand miles apart. The law
does not require them to be opened at
the same time, but to do so will divide
the crowd of applicants and simplify
the task of the land officers. The

DAN GROSVENOR SAYS:
“Peruna is an Excellent Spring Catarrh
Remedy—I am as Well as Ever.”
HON. DAN. A. GROSVENOR, OF TIIE FAMOUS OHIO FAMILY.
Hon. Dan. A. Grosvenor, Deputy Auditor for the War Department, in a letter
written from Washington, D. C., says:
“Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from one
bottle of Peruna. One week has brought wonderful changes and I am now as
well as ever. Besides being one of the very best spring tonics it is an excellent
catarrh remedy," Very respectfully, Dan. A. Grosvenor.
| Hon. John Williams, County Com*
missioner, of 517 West Second street,
i Duluth, Minn., says the following in re-
gard to Peruna: “As a remedy for ca-
i tarrh I can cheerfully recommend Pe-
| runa. I know what it is to suffer from
that terrible disease and I feel that id
I is my duty to speak a good word fortho
j tonic that brought me immediate re-
lief. IVrttna cured me of a bad case of
! catarrh and I know it will cure anyi
other sufferer from that disease.”
Miss Mattie L. Guild, President Illi-
nois Young People’s Christian Tem-
perance Union, in a recent letter from
Chicago, 111., says:
•• I doubt if Peruna has a rival In all
the remedies recommended to-day for
catarrh of the system. A remedy that
will cure catarrh of the stomach will
cure the same condition of the mucous
membrane anywhere. I have found It
the best remedy I have ever tried for
catarrh, and believing it worthy my
endorsement / gladly accord it. ”
Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Res-
ervoir Council No. !G8, Northwestern
Legion of Honor, of Minneapolis,
Minn., writes from 2535 Polk street,
N. E.:
“I have been
troubled all my
life with ca-
tarrh in my
head. I took
Peruna for
about three
months, a n d
now think I
am perma-
nently cured.
I believe that
for catarrh in
all its forms
Peruna is the
medicine of the
age. It cures when all other remedies
fail. I can heartily recommend Pe-
runa as a catarrh remedy.”
The spring- is the time to treat ca-
tarrh. Cold, \Vet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. If a course
of Peruna is taken during the early
spring months the cure will lie prompt
and permanent. There can be no fail-
ures if Peruna is taken intelligently
during the favorable weather of
spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Pe-
runa eradicates catarrh from the sys-
tem wherever it may be located. It
cures catarrh of the stomach or bow-
els with the same certainty as catarrh
of the head.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you liia
valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President, of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

POOR LITTLE JOHNNY I
AND HIS ‘'TUMMY"!
Small boys, and many times large ones,
and occasionally girls, too, big and • little,
suffer terribly from convulsive pains or
"cramps” in the bowels and stomach—
pain so violent that it “doubles up” the
ones attacked, and makes it impossible for
them to stand up. •
'Some, people call it colic, but most honest,
plain-spoken people call it “belly-ache" and very
properly, for the seat of the trouble is in the
! owcls, and caused by the violent efforts of the
towels to rid themselves of something which
coesn’t belong there. The small boy usually
gjits it from over-eating or from eating forbidden
fruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time.
It’s spring now, and “in times of peace, prepare
for war." Let the boys and girls and the big
folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged
channels filled with winter bile and putrid undi-
gested food, strengthen the 30-feet of bowel
canal, liven up the liver, and “summer belly-
aches" will have no terrors, because they won't
happen. The way to make the body ache-proof is to use CASCARETS, gentle, sweet, fragrant
