Neglected Colds in Children Often Bring
Disastrous Results.

Group. capillary bronchitis, and
articular rheumatism are the special
banes Of childhood. These are alike
from catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares
its mother into Mysteries by having
Group in the dead of night.
Another child catches cold, develops
stubborn cough that will not yield
to ordinary remedies. The parents are
filled with forbodings.
Still another child cathes cold and
develops that most fatal malady of
childhood, capillary bronchitis The
doctor is called, pronounces the case
pneumonia, and if the child is lucky
enough to live it has developed weak
lungs from which it may never re-
cover.
and artlcular rheumatism is the re-
suit. Ankles, knees, wrists and elbows
become suddenly swollen and pain
full. A long disastrous illness follows
The child may live and become con-
valescent, a miserable invalid of val
vular disease of the heart. All these
mishaps are the direst result of ne
elected cold. Peruna is the safeguard
of the family. If a child catches cold
Peruna should be used Immediately.
A few doses of Peruna and a child's
cold is gone. The apprehensions of the
parents flee away. The household is
free from fear once more.
Peruna should be kept in the house
all the time. Peruna should be kept
in every house where there are chill

Against Members of virginia's Con-
stitutionnI Convention.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 6.-James
Hayes, the negro lawyer and confrere
of John S. Wise in the recent unsuc-
cessful attack on the new constitution
of Virginia, was in the Office of the
clerk of the United States Court to-
day, preparing papers in forty-eight
suits for damages against members OF
the Constitutional Convention.
The suits are for $1,000 damages each,
and are brought under the common
law, probably relying on Section 1879,
Revised Statutes of the United States,
to give the United States Court juris-
diction.
Hayes appeared to desire a great
deal of secrecy in these cases, and
would have nothing to say about them.
1t is said he will be ready to file the
suits Monday. He and United States
Marshal Treat were busy getting the
necessary legal papers in shape this
afternoon, so that the necessary for
malities of the latter's office could be
promptly disposed of.
These are the suits that were threat
ened sometime ago.

DISTRESS IN LONDON.
While Wealthy Enjoy Life the Poor
Are Starving.

London, Dec. 6.-The grip is I'M
usually severe this winter and has al
ready been felt throughout England,
with the result that all who can do so
are leaving. Hundreds of people are
on their way to India to attend the
Delhia Durbar, and thousands are
fiocking to the south of France and
the Channel Islands.
Christmas house parties are being or
ganized at all the big country places,
where the frost is rapidly spelling the
hunting and driving the guns" indoors
to less strenuous recreations, such as
bridge whist and amateur theatricals.
In East London the winter is having
a very different effect. Thousands of
unemployed persons daily congregate
at the dock yards, literally fighting for
a chance to do days work. Unkilled
laborers are there in strong force, ana
the police find it necessary to protect
the foremen who distribute the work
tickets each morning.

which can afford Christmas gifts is

of the Royal family in order to follow

work, set with new variety of soft
tinted, semi-transparent stones, here
tofore unknown in the realm of Jew

to enamel work. This year she is
giving many photographs in artistic
enameled frames. whereas the late
Queen Victoria usually favored silver
for the same purpose. Queen Alexan-
dra's well known fondness for pearls
leads her to distribute many of them
among her more intimate friends at the
Christmas season.
100000 Are Out of work.
It is estimated that 100000 persons are
idle In the United Kingdom, and the

THE VAULE OfCHARCOAL

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on

Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges:
dered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large pleasant

mixed with honey.
