THE MOST FAVORABLE
SEASON.

To cure catarrh is in the spring.
During the winter the patient il likely
to take fresh cold and have a setback.
Bnt If treatment is begun in the spring
and continued into the summer, moth
ing need be feared for the succeeding
winter. OF course, it all depends on
the medicine. There are great many
catarrb medicines which relieve the
most disagreeable symptoms temporar-
iIv. Pe-ru-na cures more slowly but
also more permanently than this class
of medicines. A course of Pc ru-na
during the spring will cure catarrh
more quickly than at any other season
Mr.. Walter H. Tucker, Concord, n. H.
writes DR.. Hartman as follows when
7 began taking your medicines 1ou'
wears ago was suffering with chronic
catarrh. had taken nearly two dozen
bottles of a so-calIed catarrh cure with
ont much relief. Pe-ru-na cured tht
n;pht sweats and dizziness it curet
the cough I have had from my cradle

A FRENCH CANADIAN EXODUS.
MIL Operatives Scared Away frOn
New England villages by
War Talk.

There has been a large exodus of
rench-Canadian families from the mill
villages of New England since the war
talk began. 1t may not be the fear of
war alone which have impelled those
who have gone to pack up and scurry
across the Canadian border. but the war
has undoubtedly had. very much infiu-
ence in the matter. The operatives have
been somewhat dissatisfied since wages
were cut in the cotton mills. and the
coming of the war added to their belief
that this Iankpeland was not the abodc
Of milk and honey they had formerly
thought II. says the Kew York Sun.
From all over the state and the vii
lagos in Connecticut and Massachusetts
come reports of the French Canadian
exodus. From Woonsocket alone 81
persons have left this week. and dozens
Of families had fed before. The Paw
tucket valley villages tell the same
is also true of other New England vii
lages.
1t must not be supposed that all
the French-Canadians in New England
partake Of this spirit. While these mill
operatives are by no means IL warlike
people there are many amongthe young
err element who would be glad TO fight
for the United States If they were
needed.
Many of those who remain are very
much troubled regarding the future.
and mill men say that they are being
constantly asked regarding the proba-
bility of aliens being drafted.
