 It stands to-day before the nation as a thoroughly tested, accurately sci entific internal remedy for catarrh. There are practically no medicinal rivals in the field.
 Peruna is not local application or temporary relief; it is a permanent cure. Peruna is a systemic remedy. It eradicates catarrh from the sys- tenn. It cures catarrh wherever To- cated. It's cures are radical and last ing.
 Therefore, Peruna is receiving the indorsement of the leading statesmen and history-makers of the day.

Catarrh has already become na- tional curse. Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean.
 More than one-half of the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Sen ators are talking about it; Congress men are discussing it.
 They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the dis ease, but the possibility of finding na- tional remedy to meet this national ca lamity.
 The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this di- rection.
 Dr. Hartman, President of the Hart man Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been

EIGHT-HOUR DAY LAW IS
UP TO THOSE AGGRIEVED

tinues Mr.. Thomas. that tine remedy of
any persons aggrieved by an intentional
violation of this law in requiring or per-
mitting laborers or mechanics to work
more than the required number of hours
upon any public work, except in case of
emergency, is by proceeding in the
proper court to enforce the penalty pro-
vided by the statute. Action. If desired.
may be taken in the Police Court. which
has. in my opinion, jurisdiction in such
cases.
How Prosecution May Be Had.
Such proceeding, however. cannot be
instituted in the name of the District
of Columbia. for the reason that this
statute does not come within the terms
of the provision of the code in section
932 which provides that prosecutions
for violations Of all police or municipal
ordinances and regulations. and for yio-
lation of all penal statutes in the ma
ture of police or municipal regulations.
where the maximum penalty is a fine
only, or imprisonment not to exceed one
year. shall be conducted in the name
of the District OF Columbia Al other
prosecutions are to be conducted by the
Attorney OF the United States for the
District of Columbia in the name of tn
United States.
Il consider the labor law mentioned
10 be neither a police or a municipal
ordinance or regulation nor a penal
statute in the nature OF a police cr
municipal regulation. | therefore ad-
wise that the cOmplainants be referred
to the Attorney of the United States for
the District OF Columbia for such action
as he may deem proper in the prem
ises.'
The Commissioners have approved the
action suggested and the complainants
viii be advised accordingly.
