ANDERSON'S SPLENDID WORK.
Local Pride Manifested in His
Standing in Educational Contest.
The fait that (iarlleld Anderson, of
this ilty, the enegetlc young man win
has fought and hustled his way to
third place In The Tribune's cduui
tloiml contest, stands a good chance of
winning the Slate Noinial school
si holarhlp, Is causing u great deal of
local pride to be manifested In the
contest. Carbondale Is alwas jealous
of honors that any ot Its residents ine
qualified to win, nnd this accounts for
the greatlv IiiciomsoiI Interest In Mr.
Anderson's fight. Coupled with this, Is
the admiration that Is cherished tor a
young man of eneigy mul deteimitni
tlon who Is willing to hustle, if need
be, to equip himself with an education
to light the bottle of life, and that Mr.
Anderson has hustled and fought to
land high honms In the educational
contest. Ids record well shows. Th
Indications now are thnt he will h?e
to hustle even mine to capture thltd
honor, which he Is nearest now, in.1 It
is safe to rely on local pride to win
out for him. Residents, therefoie, who
are solicitous of his chances for this
place, who me deslious of seeing tip
bonor come to one of their oung
townsmen, nnd Incidentally hemim
subscribe! to the representative news
paper of Northeastern Pennsylvania;
or subscribers who would like to help
Mr. Anderson along towards the prize
he Is seeking, can have their facmlte
paper sent to their frleu 's. Mr. u
derson can be seen at the Carbondalo
office of The Tilbune, or at least,
word if left there will uach him.

Jenkins knows what he is talking
about when he recommends Peruna,
becntise he has tried It. Peruno. cures
catarrh because It reaches the source
of catarrh,
Peruna cleanses tho blood of Its im
purities because It legulates those or
gans that make blood.
Peruna keeps the svstem In a fine,
healthy condition, because It restores
the function of every organ, and brlngn
vigor to the organic nervous system.
Mr. Jenkins Is right. Peruna Is a
