for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt

CENTER OF LEARNING
That Is What the National Capital
Will Be Ultimately.
Great Educational Institutions Are
Already Located There. and
Many Others Are About to
be Established.
Especial Washington letter.

With prophetic comprehension of the
Development of the nation George
Washington foresaw the necessity for
making provision for educational prog
ress commensurate with the growth of
the republic; and consequently he
recommended the establishment of a
national university at the national cap
ita
The congress has never taken action
on that recommendation but branches
of the university have been established
by individuals. Some 80 years ago
there was established the law school
Of the national university; then came
the medical school, and now we have
also the scientific school of the uni
yersity. But these branches are indie
pendent and are sustained wholly by
private enterprise. OF course these
nuclei will ultimately be amalgamated
and the ideal national university will
be Incorporated.

secretary of agriculture that the con-

The young man who desires to study

along the educational line, ambitious
young men should be aided for their

WHAT "KALSOMINES" ARE.

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary
preparations, manufactured from whit
ing chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on
the walls with decaying animal glue. Ala
bastine is not a kalsomine. 1t is a rock
base cement. which SETS and 1t hardens
decorated without having to wash and
scrape off its old coats. Beware of a
large four-pound package of light kalso-
mine, sold to dealers for four pounds and
offered to customers as a five-pound
package.

WHAT ALABASTINE IS,

Alabastne is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market 1t is
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastne is made ready
for use in white or twelve beautiful
tints by the addition of cold water. 1t is
put up in dry powdered form, in five
every package. 1t takes the place of
scaling kalsomines, wall paper and paint
for walls. Alabastine can be used on
plaster. brick, wood or canvas. and
child can brush 1t on.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest. enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

CHURCHES AND SCHOOLHOUSES.

The interior walls of churches. school
houses and all public halls should never
be coated with anything but the durable
and pure Alabastine. So evident has this
fact become. that hundreds of tons are
used annually for this work. The genu-
inc Alabastine does not rub or scale off.
1t is clearly during the long period of its
usefulness. Every owner of a building
should use 1t. Ask your paint dealer or

bridges have been found to be those

have had to be built to measure, as q
stream varies so much in depth at diff
ferent points and the surface of a
bridge must be as nearly horizontal as
possible. Even after large amount of
time has been spent in manufacturing
them, these supports are often difficult
to plant in line. In Col. Pfund's bridge
the horses are made of jointed pieces,
extremely light, which can be short
