examination the way will be opened and
made easter for such other improvements
as will perhaps develop as desirable.
Adiutant General Corbin made the fol-
lowing running comment on the PROPOSE
ton: The bill provides that one-thiri
of the promotions between the rank OF
captain and brigadlar general shan be
made by selection. This is to enable the
president to reward specially gallant and
merltorous services, and 1t applies alike
to the service and the country and yet
maintsins in reasonable degree promo
lions by seniority. In the adjutant gener-
ais and inspector generals department
there will be no further appointments but
by detail from the next lower grade Of
the line for a term OF four years. This
will give large number OF experienced
STAFF officers to meet future requirements
and the emergencies Of active service"

a passenger car without a top was de-

Mexico. The car was invented by Reau
Campbell, the Mexican traveller, and
came about as follows:
Some years ago when Mr.. Campbell
was travelling through the great Ia
mosopo Canon, he had seat on the
side OF the car next to the mountain,
the rocks Of the cliff were within two
feet of the window, and Of course he
could get not even glimpse of the
canon, as all the windows on the other
side OF the car we're taken up by the
occupants Of the adjoining seats. De-
termined to view the magnificence Of
the canon, Mr.. Campbell returned to
Las Canoas, and through the courtesy
of railway officials made the world
famous ride on board what the super
intendent called his trolley" an open
car with seats for eight persons. and
with this ride came the idea that the

Chronic Coughs md

Catarrh Is the Continual ScOurge
of Christendom.
Diseases.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts black shadow Of despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes it dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing or
Group, and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In its whitening grasp the
rounded form Of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the sailow, hasgard visage OF
the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of converse
ton. speech gives way to Gpitting, the
repulsive doors Of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss Of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim

Like the plague-stricken Egyptians
a cry of distress has gone out from
every household, and the mildew OF
woe clings to every hearthstone.
Catarrh in some form, catarrh In
some stage turks as an enemy in the
slightest cough or cold and finishes
its fiendish work in heart disease and
consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ Of the
body escapes it's ravages; muscles
wither, nerves shatter, and secretions
dry up under its blighting presence.
So stubborn and difficult Of cure is
this disease that to invent remedy
to cure chronic catarrh has been the
ambition of the greatest minds in all
ages. Is it therefore any wonder that
the vast multitude Of people who have
been cured of chronic catarrh by Pc
runa are so lavish In their praise OF
this remedy? That the discovery OF
Peruna has made the cure Of catarrh
a practical certainty is not only the
testimony of the people, but many
medical men declare it to be true.
AS a drug store in this age Of the
world is incomplete without Peruna,
1t can be obtained anywhere with d.
rections for use. A complete guide

One Woman Who Has Dono a Great
Deal to Put Down This EVIL.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 3.-(Spe-
cial)-When the Independent Order OF
Good Templars OF Minnesota wanted
State Organizer they chose Mrs.
Laura ]. Smith, of 1877 West 33d
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason Is
not far to seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life to battle against
! Drink and Drinking Habits. Her In
fuence for good in Minnesota is and
has been very far reaching.
:. About two years ago however, it
seemed as If this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic
work. Severe pains in her back and
under her shoulder blades, made life
q burden and work impossible. Physi-
clans were consulted, and they pre-
scribed for Kidney Disease. Three
months treatment however, failed TO
give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus-
band was much exercised, and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife to health and
strength. He heard of the cures eff
fected by Dodds Kidney Pills, and adj
vised her to try them, which she did.
She is now we'll woman and says:
Two weeks after / commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, felt much
better, and at the end of seven weeks
was completely cured. l have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but l take
pill off and on, and find that it keeps
me- in good health"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at 80 cents a box.
They are easily within the reach of
all, and no woman can afford to suf-
fer, when such a simple, and sure
