NO STATE HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.
Bids Were to BE Opened In January,
but Nothing Has Been Done Yet.

nut NOthtng has Bren Done Yet.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 22.-The improve
ment of the ancient and honorable
structure known as the statehouse is
not progressing rapidly. Indeed it is
not progressing at all. The machinery
set in motion by the Legislature for the
remodeling of the capitol is not run
ming.
1t was expected that the contract
would be let early in January, but ad-
vertisements for proposals have not ap-
peared and no steps have been taken
toward this. The commission proper
has adjourned indefinitely, subject to
the call of the governor, and the firm
OF architects whose plans were adopted
by the previous board, in alarm at the
situation, has retained the services of
ex-Secretary of State ID. j. Ryan as
attorney to push things.
The building commission is unwill-
ing to assume the responsibility OF
building the new statehouse while IL
has no authority to protect the inter-
ests of the state.
! The improvement will entail q public
expenditure Of at least 81, 500, 900, and
the gentlemen who are to be held ac-
countable for the proper disbursement
of this immense sum are to let the con-
tracts and then go, home. That they
hesitate to put themselves in this posi-.
tion does not imply lack of confidence
in the architects, but is merely the 10.
gitimate caution of reputable business
! men.

Isa Scourge to Northern Climes In
Winter.
Select t,n men at random north of the
35th meridian, and eight Of them will be
found, on exa IN inatiop, to have chronic
catarrh of the nose head, throat, bron-
chial tubes or kidneys. OF the women.
at least seven will be found to have chronic
catarrh; about half Of whom will have
catarrh of the head, throat or lungs, and
the other half of the stomach or pelvic
organs. The exposure Of men to the
outdoor climate makes them more liable
to catarrh Of the breathing passages and
kidneys than women. On the other hand,
women are more liable to oatarrh of the
ailmentary canal and pelvic organs. 1t Is
astonishing what q large multitude of
people have this disease 1t Is the exoep-
tion rather than the rule, and the excep-
tions are becoming more and more rare
to find any one perfectly free from
catarrh.
It Is coming to be the general belief
that local applications, which Include
snuffs. sprays, creams, lnhalaitons, medi'
Gated steam, ETC., can not cure catarrh.
At best they only relieve. A permanent
cure can only be secured by course OF
internal medication with some catarrh
specific, notably Pe-ru-na. The remedy
Pe-ru-na takes preference of all Others
as radical cure for ostarrh. Its cures
remain, and are certain to occur.
