Recovery From Influenza Hastened by PE-RU-NA Mr. C. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2, Bondurant, Iowa, gives testimony to the healing power of Pe-ru-na. Influenza left him much run down in health with catarrh of the nose, throat and bronichal tubes punct uated with attacks of asthma. He writes: “While recovering from the In fluenza I was so weak I could not gain any strength for two months. The latter part of the winter, I bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na and began taking it. My weight in creased to 175 pounds, the most I ever weighed. My usual winter weight is 155. If you can use this letter for any good, you are perfectly welcome.” Such evidence cannot fail to con vince the rankest unbeliever of the merits of Pe-ru-na.

Cuticura Soap The Velvet Touch For the Skin 1923 Opening Evokes , Administration Policy of / Complete Coruervahorx r for Our National Parks \ By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN jn HE national parks bet a pood friend when Warren G. Harding died. Ilis appreciation and ap proval of the national park move ment were signally shown at the 1023 opening of Yellowstone for Its fifty-first year by an official declaration of administration pol icy worthy of its place as the first national park in all history and largest and most famous of all America’s nineteen public play grounds set apart by congress for the use of the people forever. That official declaration of ad ministration pollcv was nothing less titan absolute 1 protection of the national park system against commercial Invasion and exploitation. Dr. John Wesley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln Memorial university, made the declaration, lie officially represented President Harding and Sec retary of the Interior Work at the Yellowstone opening. His statement was prepared, careful and emphatic. It contained the following: “And we are here today ... to celebrate the annual opening of Yellowstone park, the largest and most far-famed "f our national parks, a wooded wilderness of fhree thousand three hundred square miles, containing incomparable waterfalls, more ! geysers than are found In the rest of the world all put together, irrigated by rivers like miniature : lakes, and beautified by lakes like inland seas, carved by canyons of sublimity, decorated with colors defying the painter's art. punctured with Innumerable boiling springs whose steam mingles with fleecy clouds, stuccoed with vast areas of petrified forests, a sanctuary of safe retreat for feathered songsters and wild beasts, a wonder land, playground, sanitarium and university all in one, where the eye feasts upon the riotous colors of flowers, ferns and rocks; the ear Is surged with the symphony of melodious sounds; the mind is sated with a thousand revelations of truth and beauty, and the jaded body, weary wPh the trudge of thought and toll and travel, unglrds for song and dance beneath the shadows of the everlasting hills. i “Yellowstone history Is replete with crises where the friends of the park and the park idea have had to fight with a heroism worthy its ex plorers and discoverers to retain ft intact against the hold and presumptuous claims of the ndvo j cates of special privilege, determined to commer cialize lids land of wonder, to build railroads through it. runnel its mountains, dam Its lakes and streams, and secure stranglehold monopolies with small compensation to the government and total loss to the people. “And regardless of all facts and figures, appeals and throats, therefore, any plan, however meri torious on Its face, for the commercial exploita tion of parks must by the very nature of Its aims and purposes be immediately doomed to failure. j “Good projects, bad projects. Indifferent proj ects. all must face the same fate, for It is at last established policy of the government that our national parks must and shall forever be main tained in absolute, unimpaired form, not only for the present, but for all time to come, a policy which has the unqualified support of President Harding. “This Is the fixed policy of the administration, r.nd I cun assure you It will not be modified. It ; will not be swerved a hair’s breadth by any Influ ence. financial, political or otherwise. If rights are granted to one claimant, others must follow, so a precedent must not be estab lished. Tt would Inevitably ruin the entire national park system.” Doctor Hill might have been more definite In the matter of the attacks by commercial Interests i upon Yellowstone. Since early In 1020 It has I required Increasing vigilance and aggressive or ganized effort on the part of the vast army of national park enthusiasts to defeat these attacks. Dynfcng the winter and spring of 1920 the Sixty sixth congress nearly passed the Smith bill cre ating a commercial Irrigation reservoir in the southwest corner of Yellowstone for the benefit of Idaho. And it did pass the water power bill granting to a commission power to lease public waters, including those of the national parks and monuments, for water power. t!ACttQ?rzA&?AnZ? 4Z7VKJ A national organization of defense, about 4,(.*hi.ixni strong, was quickly effected. The Smith hill was killed In the house, after It had passed the senate. The Jones Esch bill exempting na tional parks, present and future, from the Juris diction of tin* water power commission was Intro duced and forced forward. The water power in terests were powerful enough, however, to force a compromise amendment which exempted only the existing national parka. The Jones-Esch bill was passed by the Sixty-sixth congress. In December of 1020 Senator Walsh of Montnna championed a bill to dam Yellowstone lake for an irrigation scheme In Montana. A long and hard-fought battle followed. In June of 11)21 Sec retary of the Interior Fall reported on the bill and* straddled on the question of protection, hold ing that power and irrigation development in the national parks should he only “on specific author ization of congress, the works to he constructed and controlled by the federal government." There upon Senator Walsh proposed a new bill providing that the United States reclamation service should build and operate the Yellowstone lake dam. The defenders of the park proved that the dam could be milt to greater advantage outside the park. In 1022 the upholders of the parks won a victory by electing Scott Leavitt in Montana to congress over Jerome Locke, originator of the dam project. The final result of the fight was that the Sixty seventh congress adjourned March 4, 1920. leav ing the Walsh dam In the committee’s pigeonholes. Efforts to revive It are expected In the Sixty eighth congress. During these three years another victory of great Importance along the same line was the smothering In committee of the All-Year National park bill, personally drafted and sponsored by Secretary Fall. Tills bill created a national park in the Mesealero Indian reservation In New Mex ico out of several insignificant spots widely sep arated. plus an Irrigation and power reservoir ninety miles away. It would have Introduced both water power and Irrigation Into the national park system. There was n nation-wide protest against this bill. In which New Mexico Itself took an active part. The bill Is too dead, It is believed, to be resuscitated. A third victory called nation-wide attention to another danger that threatened—and still threat ens—the national parks^ The vlctory^was the de feat of the Slemp bill creating the Appalachian National park out of a Virginia mountain top. It was opposed on the ground that the area was below the proper national park quality. It was favored by Secretary Fall, who in his report to the public lands committee said that his policy was to substitute a wide-open recreational park system of many small playgrounds for our his toric national park system. The late Franklin K. Lane, ns secretary of the Interior In 1918, nailed down this plunk in the nntiomfl park platform: In studying now park projects you should seek to find "scenery of supreme and distinctive quality or some natural feature so extraordinary or unique ns to be of national Interest and Importance . . The national pftrk system ns now constituted should not be lowered In standard, dignity and prestige by the inclusion of areas which express in less than the highest terms the particular class or kind of exhibit which they represent. President Harding was the first president to an nounce publicly a general administration policy of absolute conservation for the national parks system and for all of Its units. Both Roosevelt and Taft were good friends of the national parks, but preservation against commercial Invasion was not a question In their days. President Wilson, In his first term, signed the Hetch Hetchy bill giving San Francisco the water supply reservoir in Yosemlte which has Just been completed; its secret water power purpose was not then gen erally understood. President Wilson, however, stood by the national parks loyally and powerfully In the fight to exempt them from the Jurisdiction of the water power commission. 2Z£tjORT£i2) #3yrrc*Sft06o — President llanllng, in announcing tills admin istration policy, was not anticipating a popular de mand so much as answering it. The truth is that the American people have within the last three years adopted our nineteen national parks as a part of their conception of the greatness of their nation. “Hands off!” applies to the national parks as well as to Old Glory. They are eager to defend them nnd to 1 ep them Inviolate. And they have developed on- nlr.ed strength through the ufliliation of a dozen or so nation-wide organ izations ro see that congress shall legislate wisely concerning the national parks. The announce ment of the conservation policy was received with nation-wide delight. The national park enthusi asts hoped that the conservation policy would he broadened to uphold Secretary Lane’s Important Yellowstone also gets Into the limelight this season because President Harding paid It a two days’ visit on his way to Alaska. The President’s party went in and out through the north entrance and did about 150 miles of motoring in seeing various points of interest. On the Continental Divide they drove through snowbanks. The Pres ident went yachting on Yellowstone lake—un dammed. He saw many wild animals nnd fed gingerbread and molasses to a black bear nnd her cub. He saw'the Painted Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. Old Faithful geyser spouted 150 feet into the air every sixty-five minutes for him—as it does for every visitor. The photograph reproduced herewith shows the President and Mrs. Harding, under escort of Superintendent Hor ace M. Albright, viewing from Artist Point the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the Lower Falls. The President was visibly Impressed by the sight—one of thq grandest and most beau tiful in the world. Just sixty-three years—1807-1870—were re quired to put Yellowstone on the map; the Ameri can people simply wouldn't believe there was any such place. The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-00 passed close by It, but the Indians never mentioned it, considering It the abode of "Evil Spirits," who punished all talk about them. John Colter, a member of the party who went back to trap beaver, discovered It In 1807. Upon his return to St. Louis In 1810 the people dubbed It "Colter’s Hell” and laughed him and his tale out of court. James Brldger rediscovered It about 1828 and the public said “Just another of Jim Bridger’s ‘big yarns.’" The gold prospectors of 1802 described it nnd were set down as liars. It took the Washbum-Langford expedition of 1870 to make the people believe in Its wonders. The mem bers of that expedition were for pre-empting the scenic points nnd making their fortunes. Cor nelius Hedges rebuked them and proposed the national park plan—the first In all history. The park was established by act of congress In 1872 nnd Yellowstone celebrated Its semi-centennial last fall. 0 • i’ellowstone contains 3,348 square miles—8,114 \MWyoming. 198 in Montana nnd 30 in Idaho. Big as it is, the plan is to enlarge it by the addi tion of many squnre miles to the south—the Jack son Hole country, which contains Jackson lake and the Teton mountains and is a natural part of the park. BILLOWS MAY BE MADE TO ORDER Any Kind Desired Are Now Produced at Will for Benefit of Resorters. It appears that “all Vlnils of waves" are now made to order, and that one can order any one of a half dozen varieties of waves, produced by an odd-looklng bit of machinery devised for the purpose. Some of tire, six or seven varieties of waves ore: The gentle, rolling bil lows ; the short, choppy kind; the whlteonp variety and big ones resembl ing the ocean waves. Each of these, it Is reported, can be manufactured at will merely by manipulating the four plungers of the machine In differ ent ways, says the Washington Star. For Instance, If you wnnt the long, rolling billows all you have to do Is to cause the four plungers to work In unison. They plunge Into the water all at once and cause the big swells. If the short, choppy wave Is wanted the plungers are worked Independently of each other. Two up and two down gives the whltecap sort. This curious machinery, which makes perfect waves, was invented to convert placid lakes at summer re sorts Into lakes with real live waves and make bathers think they nre en joying a real Atlantic or 3‘aclflc surf —at least while the machinery was working, for as soon as the electric motor is stopped the water resumes Us placidity. It appears that these waves can be made all day long for thousands of bathers and at compara tively little expense. It is said that a dollar a day Is the cost of Operating the electric motor that drives the ma chine. Smoker Stories for Example.

The plans to remodel Piccadilly cir cus include the removal of the famous fountain in the center, with the figure of Eros, the god of love, surmounting It. and this has aroused much opposi tion, says a London dispatch to the New York Serai* Piccadilly circtti without the god of love would never be the same, It is argued. This statue is one of the finest in London. It frequently attracts the at tention of night revelers and hands of “ragging" students, who often pjace a grotesque hot on the head of Eros to annoy the policemen. For more than a week after the armistice cele bmtion Eros wore a sallor’a cap. PtMily workmen were able ta remove It. While the fountain with the statue surmounting It does interfere with the huge traffic which mnkes this point perhaps th; most congested In Lon don, It Is n landmark. Resides It lends a picturesque effect to the circus, be cause the steps leading up to the foun tain, as all American tourists know, are used by flower sellers. Stray Bits of Wisdom.
