A MOST DELIBERATE SWINDLE PE-RU-NA
Untrue Reports of Need of Har-
vesters Flood the Demand for
the Purpose of Securing
Men at Low Wages.
BUT FEW BUT MAKE TROUBLE.
Reports Come Froui Several Place* Of
Stranded Idle lien.
Topeka, July 18.—T. IS. Go row, btu’c
free employment iigent, lias discovered
that a number of unserupulous tiu-r-
cliiuits anil wheat growers m the state
hare purposely exaggerated the nuiii-
berof harvest hands needed iu their
sections with the intention of getting
laborers for less than the average daily
wages. One of the most flagrant in-
stances of this exaggeration came to
light from Ness county. A firm of
merchants there wrote to Mr. Go row
that Ness county needed 200 more
laborers and that the wheat would be
greatly damaged unless they could
come at one?. Within the hour that
Mr. Gcrow received the letter lie also
received a telegram from C. 15. Grass-
field, secretary of the Farmers' associa-
tion of the county, and a reliable man,
to the effect that Ness county is over-
stocked with laborers.
‘'It is this sort of scheme," said Mr.
Gcrow, “that, makes it difficult for me
to give good service. There arc very
few merchants and wheat growers in
the state who would per|ictrnto this
kind of a swindle, but the few make
much trouble for me.
“The laborers are sent by my order
to the counties where reports say they
are needed and when they get there
they find the wheat growers over sup-
plied with men and they are offered
only about half the money they ex*
peeled. The attempt to (1<m> l Nc.-a
county with idle men is the most de-
lilmrale swindle that has been tried on
this office aud the laborers this sum-
mer. 1 have taken precaution to find
out lio.v the men tire received and how
they find conditions in the places
where I send them, and I find that
tbe.ro are only a few places from which
false reports have been sent. The
men have been writing back to me on
cards furnished them for the pur|>osc.
From Kllinwcod one man sent from
here writes that there are 200 idle men
ami that the farmers are offering 81 50
a day. The men expected $2.So. Men
reporting from Great Hern! say there
are 'wiudrcdsof idle men aud the farm-
ers are offering small wages. Goddard,
Hays City and Lurued report too many
men and small wages."

Detroit, July 21—Ten tlio^and Kp-

yards. Between songs they gave three
cheers for the United Stilton. for King
Kd ward and for the league.

BENEFIT TO
Says Dp. ill, C. Gee, of San Francisco.
A CONSTANTLY increasing number of
ZjL physicians prescribe Peruna in their
regular practice.
It has proven its merits so thoroughly
that even the doctors have overcome their
prejudice against so called patent medicines
and recommend it to their patients.
“I Advise Women to Use Pe-ru-n."
Says Dr. Gee.
Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal.,
he says:
"There is a general objection on the part
of the practicing physician to advocate
patent medicines, bill when any one medi-
cine cures hundreds of people, it demon-
strates its own value and does not need the
endorsement of tne prolessiou.
••Peruas ha* performed sol many
wonderful curea In San Francisco that
I am convinced that It la a valuable
remedy. / have frequently advised Its
use for woman, aa I find It Insurea
regular and pnlnleaa menstruation,
cures leucorrhaa and ovarian troubles,
and builds up the entire system. I also
consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies
I know of. I heartily endorse your medi-
cine."—M. C. Gee, Si. D.
Mrs. E. J. Gaddis. Marion, N. C., is
one of Dr. Hartman's grateful patients.
She consulted him by letter, followed his
directions, and is now able to say the fol-
lowing :
"Before I commenced to take Peruna I
coule not do any hard work without suffer-
ing great pain. I took Peruna, and can say
with pleasure that it has done more for me
than any other medicine I have ever taken.
Now I am as well as ever; I do all my own
work and it never hurts me at all. 1 think
Peruna is a great medicine for woman-
kind."—Mrs. E. T. Gaddis.
Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly-
called.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
every one will admit, is the cause of one-
half the diseases which afflict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people of the United
States.
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 his
valuable ad vice gratis.
• Address Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium,
Columbus, Ohio.
