Not only is 1t a valuable medicine, but
it is applicable to the climatic ailments
Of winter and summer. Extremes Of heat
and cold in the United States make it
land of catarrh.
Nearly everybody has catarrh. This Is
more especially true among the middle
and lower classes. Exposure to the eli
mate, hard work and unventilated sleep
ing rooms are the principal causes. Char.
table institutions have found, by bitter
experience, that catarrhal diseases not
only are the most numerous of all other
diseases put together, but they are the
hardest to cure.
Peruna is a specific for this class OF
,, diseases. No other remedy can take its
place Thousands of cases of chronic
catarrh are cured by the use of simply
bottle People who have spent large sums
to be cured of catarrh, have turned to
Peruna as a last resort, and been cured
by the use Of single bottle.
Thus it is that charitable and benevo-

st. Paul Tailors Returned From the
Louisville Meeting Report Very
Successful Meeting, Amid Sur
roundings That We're Made Pleas
ant for All.

]. T. Schusler, who, with Mrs. Schus-
ler has just returned from a Southern
trip in connection with the recent semi
annual meeting Of the National -Associa-
ton Of Merchant Tailors, at Louisville,
reports that the delegates to that meet
ing were splendidiy entertained by the
Kentuckians, who, whatever their fam
lily troubles may have been, were uni
formly anxious to take care of their
guests.
A party of about fifty, including the
tailors and their wives, made a trip to
Mammoth cave, and Mr.. and Mrs. Schus-
Ter, with a party of about dozen, also
spent a week at West Baden, Ind.
Perhaps the most important action
taken by the tailors' exchange" said Mr..
Schusler, yesterday, was the starting OF
fund of $4,000, Of which $4,000 was sub
scribed in one sitting, on the night of the
banquet, the same to be devoted to
fund for a national home for old tailors
There were displays at Louisville from
the leading tailors of nearly all the larg
er cities In the country, an exhibit in
all of probably 400 garments, and the ex-
hibit made by the st. Paul tailors was,
in my Judgment very cred table Some
of the Eastern tailors, indeed, had on
exhibition the styles which we were max
ing here a year ago.
'There will be but little change in the
styles for this spring. continued Mr..
Schusler.
Goats of all styles will be made broad
at the shoulders, and wadded. In length,
all coats but the sack will be made lit
tie longer this year. But the sack, If any
change at all Is made, will be little
shorter. In the finer grade Of goods there
will be disposition to make the coats to
fit the figure closely.
I'm trousers the popular style will be
to have them moderately wide at the
hips and small at the foot. approaching
the old style popularity known as the peg
top
Messrs. Pease and Schaub also repre-
sented the ST. Paul tailors at Louisville.
