NEE day was when men of promi- 4 hence hesitated to give their testi- nonials to proprietary medicines for ubdcation. This remains true today of lost proprietary medicines. But Pe- una has become so justly famous, its aerits are known to so many people of nigh and low stations, that no one hesi- lates to see his name in print recom- mending Peruna.
 The highest men In our nation have siven Pery strong endorsement Men representing all classes and sta lions are equally represented.
 A dignttied representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Rev. E. Ct. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in bis family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church.
 Rev. D. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby- erian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes {:

THE BRIGADIERS
 ARE CONFIRMED
Some Criticism of Generals
 Bates and Wood
PETTUS UPHELD M'KlNLEY
Senator Pettierew Objected to General Wood On Ground That He Was Without Practical Experience
 and Account "Favorltlsm."

Washington, February 1S.-The Senate held two executive sessions today, with the result that all the Presidential nomd- nations 10 the office of brigadier-genera4 were confirmed. The nominat ations which caused discussion were those of Generals Bates, Wood, Grant and Bell. Senator Pettigrew criticezed General Bates nomi- nation because that officer had negotiat- ed the Sulu treaty, which treaty he at tackled sharply.
 Senators Teller and Rawlins also joined in the criticism of the Sulu treaty. They referred especially to it's recognition O. the institutions of slavery and polygamy which they claimed were repugT#lnt to the tastes of the people of this country as we'll as to the Constitution No one, however, made objection to Genera. |. Bates confirmation when the time for c. vote was reached.
 The criticism of General Wood was con fined to the fact that his military recorC is not extended. Senators Bate of Ten nessee and Jones of Arkansas objected to the nominations of Generals Wooo Grant and Bell on the ground their nomi-
 
 of seniority in the army and exceptiona emphasis was laid upon General Wood nomination on that account. It was helC to be unfair to other officers who had seen long service in the field. Senate. Pettigrew contended that General Wooo was without practical experience in tho art of war and as a leader of men. Fl, said the panerpJ had roma into the arrnN contract surgeon and had done very little fighting. If, he said, that sort O. favoritisrn was to be continued the Wes, Point Military Academy might as well b. abolished.
 Among those who spoke in support o1 the Presidents right to appoint as he had done were Senators Cockrell and Pet tus both Democrats, who said as the law conferred the discretion of selecting officers regardless of the rule of seniority and as the selections in this case ap- peared to have been wisely made, they could not see their way clear to cast their votes against his nominations in this particular instance.
 Senator Lodge upheld the nominations He said that criticism of a man who had done so much for the country as Gen. eral Wood had done at a critical time is preposterous He called attention not only to the generals achievements as Cover TOT of Santiago and as governor general of Cuba, but to his military career in Cuba and elsewhere, mentioning the fact that he had received medal for bravery in Indian warfare. MT. Lodge having stated that General Wood was in the bat tie of Santiago, MT. Pettigrew called at 4l.o 4L@t Afw N1. l.. his history of the Cuban war had not mentioned General Wood in connection with the battle.
 The explanation was made on behalf of the President that he especially desired to reward General Wood for his services in Cuba, and that he thought his rank should be high in case he should be called to discharge other high offices in the fu- ture. No roll call was demanded on the confirmation of the nominations.

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of LaGrippe are Conveyed
 Through the Atmosphere.


 No one can escape the La Grippe germ because when an epidemic of the disease is prevailing the air is laden with it.
 The reason every one does not have the disease at the same time is because The persons who are enjoying perfect health are able to successfully resist and throw off the infection, while those who for my reason are not in the best of health fall ready victims
 The first symptoms are those of acute catarrh, resembling a hard cold, and if prompt treatment is applied at this time 1t can easily be broken up One of the best remedies at this stage is Stuart S Catarrh Tablets, sold by druggists every where; and if taken freely, say one tab let every hour or two for two or three days, the danger of pneumonia and serI- ous complications will be averted
 The Rev. L.. D. Palmer, Baptist clergy man of Ceresco, Mich., makes a state ment of interest to all catarrh and grip sufferers. He says: "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have certainly been a blessing to me. I have used them freely this fall and winter, and have found them safe- guard against La Grippe and catarrhal years. I feel that I can freely and con scientiously recommend them"
 Persons who suffer from catarrh of the head and throat are very susceptible to La Grippe, and such will find a pleasant convenient and safe remedy in this nev
 ''rh cure.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are compose entirely of harmless antiseptics, and ma be used as freely as necessary, as tn contain no cocaine, opiate or poisono drug of any kind.
