Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman
from West Virginia, in letter from
Washington, d. c., to The Peruna Med

catarrh remedy, Peruna:
II join with my colleagues In the
House Of Representatives In recon-
mending your excellent remedy, Pc
runa, as good tonic and also an eff
fective cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary G. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: 81
think l can say that your good advice
and medicine has cured me of chronic
catarrh. l have had no pains In my
head since / have taken Peruna. /
have been In bad health ever since
$50, and have taken good many med
icines which were only of temporary
relief. Peruna Is the catarrh cure. The
Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head
so that it did not become chronic, and
l am very thankful for DIR. Hartman's
advice and medicine"
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. 1t acts quickly and bene-
ficially upon the infiamed mucous
membrane, thus removing the cause of
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every

all situations.
If you DO not derive prompt and sat

giving a full statement of your case

positions by the mere seniority. There
should be an elimination grade of those
who seem unfit to render best service in
the next grade. Veterans OF the civil war
who are still in the army should be given
the same privileges accorded to their COM
rl0eS in the navy.
he process of elimination should render
u impossible TO apply political or social
pressure on behalf of any candidate. Pro-
motien of civil officials for political rea-
sons Is bad enough. Every promotion and
detail under the war department must be
made solely with regard TO good of the
ssl@vice and capacity of the man; No
pressure, political. social OF personal, will
be permitted TO effect any question of
promotion or detail: and If such pressure
Is exercised at the instfgation of the Of
iicer concerned, it will initiate against

Every effort should be made to bring

service should be required. Our army is

The merit system of appointments Is
rs democratic as the common school, Ii
means that where duties are non-politieal

lstitive examinations offer the only avail

as where laboHers are employed, re2stra-
