SINCE TAKING PERUNA
I can say ray
bowels are much
more regular.
My heart is
stronger.
My appetite is
much better.
My throat is
much better.
Mrs. William H. Hinchliffe, 20 Myrtle St., Beverly, Mass.,
writes: "I have taken four bottles of Pcruna, and I can say that
it has done me a great deal of good for catarrh of the head and
throat. I recommend Peruna to all sufferers with catarrh. J do
not think I ever felt much better. I am really surprised at the
work I can do. I do not think too much praise can be said for
Pcruna."
Those who object to fluid medicines can now procure Peruna
Tablets.

Official Paper of Dakota County
The Maskcl Graphic, which was
reported to have gone out of busi
ness by some of our over zealous
exchanges last week, still exists, and
very likely will continue to exist.
In reprinting articles from its ex
changes and adding his "nom-de-'plume,"
the Emerson Enterprise
would confer a favor on the publish-
ers hereabouts by giving proper
credit to the items.
Complete returns on state ollicers
cive Abraham L. Sutton a majority
of 721 over S. R. McKelvie for the
republican nomination for governor.
Keith Neville, democrat, defeated
C. W. Bryan by 13,130. This brings
out the issue ot a wet" and "dry"
governor, and will show'up some of
those who have been traveling under
false colors even right here at
home,
.An exchange suggests for a ticket,
Bryan and Ford peace at any price
andgasoline at a lower price. Bet
ter add sugar to the latter clause.
V Wayne Democrat.
j. Please give us a rest on that
cheap sugar talk. About all we
heard during the. last presideh-
tial campaign from every democratic
Bpqllbinder was how that party was
going to cut the cost of sugar.
'Hitchcock, Shallenberger, Stephens,
et al., put up the same old spiel,
but sugar Oh, what's the use.

The preliminary report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
under date of August 2nd, gives some most interesting information.
On page four it says that the ordinary collections for the fiscal year,
1915, exclusive of an emergency revenue as compared with the col
lections for the fiscal year 1914, show decrease in receipts as follows :
Distilled Spirits $16,924,163,47
Fermented Liquors 6,466,245.61
Total Decrease $23,390,409.08
This certainly indicates that prohibition does prohibit
ehe could have cut down the aovernmtmt rovpnim from
nearly .QOOltfOO every month last
tum territory!
Another Revelation.
On page 9 of thiB same report it shows the decreases on "with
drawals for consumption" as follows:
Pistifiad Spirits, gallons 14,983,323
Fermented Liquors, gallons 197,121,064
Total Decrease 212,104,387
"What do you think of that? No wonder the liquor interests
howl that prohibition does not prohibit, fhis decrease was a little
more than 11 per cent on all the liquors sold in this country.
Bhould that decrease continue, it would absolutely stop all drinking
in this county in nine years, yet we find temperance people who
teem to think that there has been no decrease in the consumption of
liquors I
Tt muntar of liquor dealers in the county last year decreased
according to this same report by 18,270.
Yes, prohibition does prohibit.
Here's Wkat Internal Revenue Commissioner Osborn Says
The production of distilled spirits in fiscal year 1913
amounted o 193,606,266 gallons; in 1914, 181,919,542 gallons;
in 1M6, 140,665,103 gallons.
The tax.paid withdrawals of distilled spirits in fiscal year
1913 amounted to 143,220,056 gallons; in 1914, 139,138,501
galleas; in 1915, 124,155,178 gallons. The withdrawals of tax
paid sptoits in the first three months of this fiscal year
MMWDtta IP Z(,ira,WJtf gallons,
oalll
ees -wttjjiclrjiwn in the first
Mi
and 38,468,420 gallons
ths of fiscal year 1915.
There wore removed tax-paid in fiscal year 1913, 65,246
544 barrels of fermented liquors; in 1914, 66,105,445 barrels;
in 1016, 58,746,701 barrels; and for the first three months of
this flioal year 17,458,565 barrels, as compared with 20,606,582
ltarrds fer the first three months of fiscal year 1914 and 19,
181,805 karrels for the first three months of fiscal year 1915.
T We is a nstioeablo decrease in tho receipt from distilled
snirfa anA feremented liquors. This, in the main, can prob-
' ably be attributed to the prohibition laws. Alabama, Arkan
sas, Arizona, Georgia-, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, Nertli Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia
ar,e oyeratkjff under prohibition laws, and Colorado, Idaho,
Iwa, Oreten, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington have
pasiei1 prohibition laws which will become effective in the
aear future, and undoubtedly this has had and will continue
t have effect upon internal revonue receipts.
It is all very well to protend that the consumption of intoxicat
ing drink is not being reduced in this country, and some few people
raay bo fooled thereby . But they are making no such pretense ic
Oonyrest, whore the matter of reduction in revenue becomes a vital
question.
Sepresentative Claude Kitchin, the democratic flsor leader in
4use, inpeniag the debate on the war tax measure, called
pOinte.4 attefotiea to this. He said that there was not only a fall.
ing off in customs receipts, but "We have lost about $20,000,000
frm & internal revenue on distilled spirits, fermented liquors and
tobaooo."
When you hear anybody say that prohibition does not prohibit,
and that liquor drinking is increasing with the increase of dry
territory, call his attention to the statement of Congressman Kitchin,
and to the problem that now confronts Congress.
