CATCHING COLD.
How Prevented How Cured By the Renowned Medical Author
 and Physician, pr. Hartman.

There is no fact of medical science better established than that teaspoon full of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely pro- tect person from catching cold. Now if this is true (and there is no doubt of it,) thousands of lives would be saved, and tens of thousands of cases of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple pre- caution within reach of every one.
 After cold has been contracted a tea spoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it leaving no trace of 1t be- hind. After chronic catarrh has become established, or the first stages of con- sumption have been reached, it will take much longer to effect a cure. It seems strange that as well known and as well established as these facts are that any one should neglect to profit by them, and yet no doubt there are many who pay little or no attention to them, ,'and go on catching cold, acquiring chronic catarrh and consumption.
 A Senator's Wife.
 Mrs. Verona E. Roach, wife of United States Senator Roach, from North Da- kota, writes:
 "I can cheerfully recommend Peruna. Indeed, know of no other remedy as good. It is a grand tonic, and many of my friends have used it for catarrh with good results.'
 VERONA E. ROACH,
 Larimore, N. D. Peruna can be purchased for $1 % per bottle at all first class drug stores. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

WOMEN PRAY FOR
 BISHOP POTTER
HIS DIFFERENCES ABOUT SUNDAY WHISKY SELLING ARE REGARD ED AS VERY SINFUL BY TEM- PERANCE UNION.

New York, March 5.-Bishop Henry c. Potter will be the subject of special prayers tomorrow by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Newark, N. J. The occasion will be the monthly all-day prayer meetings and the reason for his being picked out as the object of prayer is the recent expressions of his views on the Sunday saloon closing question in a speech at Monte Claire, N. J.
 Bishop Potter created much comment some time ago by reason of an interview published in New York paper advocat- ing the saloon as a necessary evil. He held that the saloon is the working man. s club, and if abolished would be substi- tuted by some form of amusement which would work far more injurious effects. Bishop Potter was criticised by certain clements, especially the prohibitionists. and some rather sharp replies were made to his views.

TAFT QUESTIONED
 ABOUT SLAVERY
SAYS NUMBER WHO HAVE BEEN FREED IS COMPARATIVELY smALL-No LEGISLATION ON SUBJECT UNDERTAKEN.

Washington, March Ex-Governor Taft was questioned further concerning slavery in the Philippines by members of the house insular committee today. He said the number of slaves who have been manumitted was comparatively small. The com mission had undertaken no legislation as to slavery and the ac- ton taken by the military had been first to release Christian slaves and sec ond to prevent slave rading parties from capturing slaves. MT Richardson of Tennessee asked if the dato could enforce the death penalty in regard to slaves and Governor Taft answered that the dato's authority extended to the death penalty after trial He spoke of the comparatively low state of the Moros, who comprise the slave holding class and said troops always would be needed in Moro localities; not necessarily a mili- tary government, but civil government with military force behind it. The Moros were, he said warike, but not formid- abIe and he gave an amusing account of a war between a sultan and dato lasting two months, with the loss of two killed and four wounded. The governor said polygamy was confined to the Datos and head men.
 The governor favored three Philippine delegates to congress representing the three great tribes or clements threof.
