One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience. ~%5sss.yys* v"'~
Especially is this true during tie
stormy and unsettled Weather of early
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or cold
draught, or damp clothes, or may be too
close confinement in hot rooms and then
going out into the cold carelessly, or it

may be one of thousand other little
mishaps, but no one is shroud enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an cpl
demic; everybody seems to have one at
once. The very air about us is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family Peruna
always stays. No home can spare Pc
runa after the first trial of it. A splendid
example of this fact is found in the
beautiful home of Mrs. Paul Peschel, of

THE first official statement which
government relative to its private atti-
dude towards the United States in the
war with Spain, was brought out Mon
day in the House of Commons in re-
Dly to question asked by Henry Nor
IMAM, the author and statesman, in
quiring whether any communication
proposing or concerning joint or col
1ective action by the European States,
IN view of the outbreak, or expected
outbreak of the late war between the
United States and Spain, was received
from the Austrian or any other gov
ernment, and if so, what was the ma
4ure of the reply of her majesty's gov
ernment.
In reply the British under-seCretary
for foreign affairs stated that Great
Britain had been twice formally ap-
preached on the matter, once before
the commencement of the war and
eouce after, but that the foreign Office
mad received numerous tentative pro-
posals and inquiries as to the proba able
course of Great Britain in the matter
which could not be officially recog-
mized.
Immediately before the war COM
ununica ton was received from the
other powers suggesting joint note
Tho Il
ing steps to ascertain whether the
presentation of this note, as we'll as it's
terms, would be acceptable to the
President, her majesty's government
agreed to join with the other powers
in a note expressing the hope that the
negotiations of her majesty might lead
TO peaceful settlement, accompanied
by guarantees acceptable to the United
States for the preservation of order il
Cuba.
After the commencement of hostili-
ries, the premier, Lord Salisbury, was
approached by the Austrian 'ambassa-
dor at London, who inquired if Great
Britain would be willing to join in a
collective note from the European
powers asking 4he United States to de-
:sist from war with Spain. In reply,
Lord Salisbury frankly stated that he
regarded such proposition as an I'M
warranted interference in the affairs
of friendly nation, and the matter of
a collective note was dropped as far as
her majesty's government was official
1y concerned. AS to what European
powers were referred to by the Aus
trian am AMBASSADOR as being prepared to

The European powers are Fastening
to deny the allegations made by the
British foreign Office in regard to their
attitude towards the United States dur
ing the Spanish war. The German
government especially enters par
ticularly vigorous denial of any I'M
friendly intentions toward the United
States and characterizes the whole
matter as an attempt on the part of
the British government to prejudice
the people of the United States against
Germany and so spoil the effect of
Prince Henry's coming visit. But the
German foreign Office issued yesterday
a written statement in which while de-
nying that Germany proposed inter
vention, admitted that such proposals
had been made, and goes on to state
that ''It must further be remarked that
it was not from an Austrian source
that such suggestions reached the
German government"
The position of the Austrian gov
eminent is we'll understood in the
United States. For dynastic reasons
it was to be expected that Austria
would do what it could to save Spain.
1t was not to be supposed, however,
that any other power would undertake
to coerce the United States by forming
league of the continental govern
me4t- and threatening intervention.
The German foreign Office should fol-
low the example of the British and
give the source from which "such sug
gestions reached the German govern
rnent ,,

sign such a note, if Great Britain &C
ouiesced, high official of the foreign
Office makes this statement to the AS
ISOLATED Press preventative:
"We have no documentary evidence
to prove that any power other than the
one which formally approached us was
concerned in this effort to send a col
lective note to the United States, the
purport of which, however polite the
wording, must naturally have been
that of a threat.
"We had at this time, however,
every reason to believe that this power
was merely put forward as sort of
buffer in order to sound us, and that
France, Germany and Russia were be-
hind her, and only awaiting our assent
formally to announce their own. We
have never had reason to change that
belief. which, in the case of France,
amounts to moral certainty"
The result of this inquiry in the
Commons shows that the matter was
much more serious than at first sus-
pected. and that all the great cont1nen-
tai powers of Europe were 1eagued to-
gether gainst the United States. The
fiat refusal of Great Britain to become
a party to any such action prevented
the sending of the proposed joint note
of the powers. Such note, however dip
lomatica11y worded, sent after host1l1-
ties had commenced could not have been
construed by the United States as any
thing else than a thu eat of interven-
ton. The action of Great Britain ap-
pears to have prevented serious COM
p1ications with the most powerful ma
tons of the old world at time when
this government was most unprepared
to meet them.
At this time, when the United States
is receiving "the renewed assurance OF
our high esteem' from most of the
powers of Europe, when all are ass1du-
ously cu1tivating the friendship of this
nation, it may be worth while for us to
recall the fact that Great Britain alone
has recently given practical proof of
good will towards the u nited States.

IT is alleged that the health officers
at Camp Lake provided man suffer
ing with a disease very similar to
smallpox with a ticket to Chicago and
persuaded him to leave the village.
On his reporting to the authorities at
Chicago it was found that he had
we'll developed case of the disease. Ii
the health officers who took this course
had any reason to suspect that the pa
tent had smallpox, their action is
criminal. In his journey to the city
and his wanderings there in search of
the health officers, he must have exposed
thousands. The health authorities
had even less excuse than usual, for
unfortunately smallpox is not spor-
adic disease in Wisconsin at this time
but is almost epidemic throughout the
State and they had every reason to be-
lieve that sooner or later it would
make it's appearance among the men
employed in the ice harvest.
They should have made every !pro-
vision for just such ar emergency
as the one which confronted
them Monday. The State Board
of health has made every effort
to impress the health officers and
the people at large with the serious
ness of the situation and the danger
that the present mild form of the dis
ease may at any time develop into the
most malignant type.
Their efforts seem to have been
wasted, in this instance at least, for
the first case that has so far developed
in the county, instead of being iso-
lated, appears to have been sent out to
scatter the disease broadcast.
