boon. Not only is 1t more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but it is
within the reach of every person in
this land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store, and is remedy..with-
out equal for catarrh in all forms,
coughs, colds, bronchitis, 'consump-
ton, and all climatic diseases of
winter.
Peruna is not guess, nor an ex-
pertinent; 1t is an absolute, scientific
certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has no
substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let'no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as we'll. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pc
runa.

Two-Thousand-Dollar Blaze,

Four Of the six frame houses on 131a
street northwest between c and D streets
were badly damaged by fire about 1 o'clock
this morning. The houses We're occupied by
colored people, mostly women. AS soon as
the cry of fire had been raised at house S1s
the inmates Of the other houses began the
work of saving their earthly possessions,
and in a short time pianos and articles of
furniture and wearing apparel were piled on
the street. A lamp was overturned in the
house in which the fire originated, and this
caused the flames to spread rapidly that
the firemen We're unable to prevent damage
to the other houses.
The loss upon the several buildings is esti-
mated at 81 500 while $500, 1t is believed,
will cover the damage to personal property.
The inmates of the houses had not retired
when the fire started. and the fremen We're
not called upon to make any rescues. Upon
reaching the burning buildings the firemen
found a plug frozen, and We're unable to
obtain water from it.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Under the present system the rural car
rier service is under the direct supervision
of the department.
The rules and regulations governing the
conduct Of this service have been carefully
prepared with a view Of furnishing In
creased mail facilities to the patrons of
the system on every route traversed by a
rural carrier.
The rules Of discipline now in operation
for securing the greatest possible efficiency
in the way of prompt delivery and the col
bearing good fruit, but under the imme-
diate direction of the department can be
more easily enforced than by any other
system yet devised.
The rural carrier service is now In sue
cessful and satisfactory opera ton on 1000
routes in various sections of the country.
No complaints of any consequence are now
received at the department showing dis
satisfaction on the part OF the public, or
even the rural carrier himself, in regard to
manner In which service Is now performed,
but, on the contrary, everything is moving
along in such a smooth and satisfactory
way that 1t would be extremely unfortu-
nate and disadvantageous in many ways If
its channel was disturbed by any other
than the systematic arrangement now in
successful operation
Before any legislation looking to a change
OF the present system of conducting the
service is contemplated, 1t would be wise
to ascertain from both patrons and car
rfers whether such change would be satis-
factory to them.
To place the carrier system under con-
tractors, as obtains at present under the
star service, would be like choking up the
channel or turning the wheels Of progress
backward. S.
