WARM WEATHER HAS CONE
AT LAST.
The Best Season of the Year to
Treat Chronic Catarrh.

Understanding that great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past old seoson, yet it can not be denied
that the cold wet. backward spring
has retarded many cures, and in some
cases actually prevented cure. But,
after unusual delay, GUNNER has come
at last, and now Is the time for all
catarrh sufferers to begin q systematic
course of treatment for this disease.
The greatest difficulty IN the way of
treating chronic catarrh is that the
patient Is SO liable to catch cold during
the treatment, and thus delay a cure.
This liability at this season of the year
Is, in great measure, removed, and
no one should neglect the opportunity
to be given treatment.
The proper way to begin treatment
for chronic catarrh is to take . table.
spoonful of Pe-ru-na before each meal
aud at bedtime. This dose should be
increased 20 that in one month the
patient will be taking two tablespoon
full at each dose; At which time . re.
port of the case by letter should be
made TO DR.. Hartman, Columbus
Ohio, and he will advise further.
Every patient should have q copy OF
The Family Physician No. 2, which is
80 page pamphlet, giving . complete
description of the cause, SYMPTOM.
and cure of chronic catarrh. Sent free
to any address.

erei, pike, perch, musksllopge, while
sportsmen will find an abundance of
game, such as ducks, geese. quail,
snipe. etc. In the grandeur of her
scenery, the charming beauty of her
rustic landscapes and the rare perfec-
ton of her summer climate. the state
of Wisconsin is acknowledged TO be
without peer in the union. Her fame
as a refreshing retreat for the over

the Hatch Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-This was
fred letter day" in the house. Seven
important measures were passed under
suspension of the rules. 1t is the first
time this session that the democrats
have worked as unit. The republi-
can forces were largely depleted and
they were totally unable to stem the
tide of legislation that had set in. The
democrats rallied TO the support of
every measure but one, that exemptIng
state banks from taxation, which failed
TO pass. Among the measures passed
were the anti-optlon bill; the resolu-
ton placing the river and harbor bill
and the naval appropriation bill IN con-
ference; the resolution for the purchase
OF . site and the erection OF a pedestal
for q statue for General Sher-
man; bills admitting New Mexico
and Arizonia a. states, and
finally the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. At times
the house WAS IN an uproar. At $3.50
the reading OF the legislative bill was
commenced; Its reading occupied two
hours. The house was in great disorder
pending the consideration, but the bill
was finally passed. Mr.. Mcmillan dem
ocrat) of Tennessee offered = resolu-
ton for the adjournment OF congress
on Saturday, July 4,which was referred
TO the committee on ways and means
and at $40 .. m. the house adJourned

How the Great Minister Was Trained In
Childhood.

How the Great Minister Was Trained In
Childhood.
From his infancy, Mr.. Beecher's en-
larged tonsils produced thickness of
speech, and this had been a source of
anxiety to his father, fearing if it could
not be remedied that he would never be
able to preach. says the Ladies' Home
Journal. But no better place could
have been selected to overcome that
trouble, and to make him faithful in his
studies, than Mount Pleasant His
teacher compelled perfection in all his
Rotations.
Through the efforts of another teacher
the thickness Of speech was overcome.
He would drill the boy a whole hour on
one word, make him take position on
a line in the middle of the floor, and
tone, pronunciation, emphasis and ges-
ture were vigorously practiced. Every
infection of the voice, gesture and ar
ticulation were repeated day after day,
with such variations as his progress
made necessary, until the pupil had
himself, his voice and gestures trained
and subdued to the right expression.
1t will hardly appear credible to those
who knew Mr.. Beecher only after he be-
came public speaker that such drilling
could ever have been necessary. Surely,
his father must have been almost in
spired to have selected such school for
one with Mr.. Beecher's peculiar char
acteristics. The place itself, the sur
roundings, his teachers and associates
were wonderfully fitted to build him up
mature life.
