"f am In favor of establishing a
school library in every schoolroom in
tile state," said Superintendent Fow
ler. "Nearly all the larger high
schools in Nebraska have libraries,
but vry few of the grades below can
boast of such possessions. Not only
should the grades below in tho cities
and villages of the state bo remem
bered, but the rural schools espe
cially should have school libraries con
taining reference hooks and supple
mentary reading that will assist the
pupils in a better understanding of
t lie subjects they are studying. It
is true that the homes should be fit
ted out with libraries, but a good
library Is an essential part of a good
school and it can be made a circu
lating library, and then go into every
home in the district."

At tho session of the senate on the 18th

move the differential from rcllncd sugar

Without a word of discussion of the
merits of tho measure tho senate on tlio

ered by tlio commerce commlttco that
every senator was content that It should
pass as reported from tho committee.
Au no senator wns prepared to begin de
bato on tho Philippine government bill,
tho measure, after a few minutes of In

A PASTOR'S
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope-
tas Cured by
Peruna.
MES. ANNA B. FLEIIAHTY, recent
Superintendent of the W. C. T. U.
headquarters, at Galcsburg, 111.,
was for ten years one of the leading
women there. Jlcr husband, when liv
ng, was first President of the Nebraska
Wcsleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, 111., Mrs.
Fleharty says tho following in regard
to Peruna:
"Having lived a very active life as
wifo and working partner of a busy
minister, my health failed, me a few
years ago. I lost my hnsbnrul about
the same time, nnd gradually I seemed
to lose health And spirit. My daughter
is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt
great need of an invigorator.
" One of my neighbors advised me
to try Peruna. Abottlo was Immedi
ately secured and a great change took
place In my daughter's as well as In
my own health. Our appetites Im
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and restful sleep
soon Improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.
" I would not be without Peruna for
ten times Its cost." Mrs. Anna D.
Fleharty.
What used to be cnlled female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. It has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs arc the
cause of most cases of female disease.
Dr. Ilartman was among the first of
America's great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty yenrsho has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that a woman, entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pe
runa for these cases and found it bo
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Teruna lias now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women arc using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; Jt
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
Dr. Ilartman has probably cured
more women of female aliments than
any other living physicinn. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending reruna.
