WINTER Is HEEE.
Bringing With 1t Catarrhal Diseases of All
Kinds

Winter is over half over. People
are continuing to catch colds. and not
a house but hears the winter cough.
People are trying to get something to
cure these troubles. which are almost
inevitable at this time OF the year. 1t
can safely be said that nine-tenths of
the people in the United States have a
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-
vent colds and coughs and cure them
with certainty when they are contract.
ed This remedy is Pe ru.na. Taken
with regularity during the winter
months, it will entirely prevent
coughs, colds, la grippe, consumption,
bronchitis or pneumania. 1t will alsC
cure without failure catarrh and
recent cases OF consumption, and often
in advanced stages.
Everybody should have the 64-page
book on catarrh and winter disease:
which is being sent free by The Peru.

REPEAL THE LIEN LAW

There is no result that has yet come
out of any Of our public meetings, that
will reduce the area of land planted in
cotton in Mississippi.
If the people would awaken to the
importance of the matter and urge the
members OF the Legislature to secure
the repeal of the present lien laws, ex-
cept a lien for land rent, one good
strong point would be gained in the
direction of securing relief.
The fictitious credit that lien laws
and deeds Of trust on implanted crops
create, induces the country to make
more cotton than the world needs and
causes the working man to remain the
mere chattel of the merchant or land
lord, and enables him who extends
credit at usurious rates to absorb the
little wealth of the country, while that
wealth is diminished by swelling the
volume Of cotton beyond that point
where it can be produced at a profit.
It can not be denied that the stimu-
lus OF these lien laws has extended the
production OF our staple, while it is
almost valueless, except when the crop
is cut short by providential causes,
and that from this imitation of produc-
tion has to a great extent come the
appreciation in values that now exists
among US. Let the members OF the
Legislature advocate through the
press the repeal of these laws, the ne
cessity for which is easily demonstrate
ed. In this way only can our people be
released from perpetual bondage to
debt and usury.
So long as the system remains in
force industry will be enervated, econ
omy discouraged, land centralized in
the hands of the few and the earnings
OF the poor divested from their pockets
into those Of others.
No business can be safe, no prosper
ity permanent while it continues and
is upheld and enforced by law.-Jack-
son Clarion-Ledger.

Scotland a Century Ago.

Nothing was more characteristic Of
Scotland than its bleak, dreary, treelees
landscape. We are apt to treat the
ieers Of English travellers on this point
as cockney libels, and to regard the jests
of DR.. johnson as ponderous pleasan-
tries, as when he said "a tree in Scotland
is as rare as horse in Venice" Unfor-
tunately in the first half of the eight
zenith century they were painfully near
the truth, and were accurate to the end
of the century, of the east coast by
which the doctor travelled. The old
woods had disappeared, and. indeed as
we read the accounts of travellers from
Sir Anthony Weldon (who protests that
Judas could not have got tree to hang
himself") to Brereton and Kirk of the
seventeenth century we become almost
skeptical of their having ever existed.
At any rate they were wasted by raids
or burnt for fuel or destroyed by farm
ers as nuisances. Only around farm
steadings and lairds' houses little clumps
of sycamore or ash were to be found, and
even these we're planted shortly after the
union. The ground was plowed up to
the very door of the mansions, while
trees which are now the hardest were
nursed like rare shrubs in gardens

A STARVED MIND.

1t is fact that the children who have
had in abundance the old nursery tales,
who have worn out numerous copies of
Mother Goose, to whom Christmas and
birthdays mean new books of rhyme and
story, being led thence by gradual steps
to the uplands of history, poetry and ro-
nance. seldom go down before the ma
lignancy of the "blood and thunder 30
freely offered them. 1t is the starved
childhood that seizes and feeds upon
these.
A girl Of twelve years old had occasion
to call at the home of lady who had
befriended her. Scattered about the
floor Of the sitting room were the books
of small nephew. among them a copy
of Little Red Riding Hood. Her life,
barren and hard. had known nothing of
literature save her few school books.
She picked up the volume and was soon
absorbed in the story. When the lady
came 10, she extended it to her, saying
eagerly, SIS it true?"
1t was her first step in the realm of
enchantment, but it came too late. She
had experienced the real; it was hard,
bitter. The same girl few years later
awaited her turn at the library, and
begged the attendant to choose for her.
The lady hesitated. then extending a
volume by Dickens, said, twill you have
this?"
She shook her head, saying, II tried
to read one of his once. He writes of
rags and poverty and hard times. Give
me something livelier, please" -Eliza-
beth Ferguson Seat, IN Lippincotts.

Good Advice.

One hears great deal about heredity.
uric acid, micrococci. malaria, age, sex.
climate, occupation, sudden changes Of
temperature, etc., as causes of inham-
matory rheumatism, but too little of OK
ira nutrition. Over-indulgence in eat
ing and drinking is the chief cause of
infammatory rheumatism, and, in fact.
of most other infammatory diseases;
and an abstemious diet is their chiefest
remedy. Live on dime day, and
earn it," was Abernethy's laconic advice
to equity gormandizer and wine bibber.
The advice was not only good sense, but
sound philosophy. 1t would save many
homes from tragedies like those herein
recounted, that are now attributed to a
mysterious Providence, but which are
wholly due to extra nutrition.-D. A.
Gorton, MD.
