THE season of catching cold is upon
! us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin OF
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual:
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
infamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

Praise and Prayer.

Let praise-I say not merely thanks
giving, but praise-always form an
ingredient Of thy prayers. We thank
God for What He is to US; for the bene-
fits which He confers, and the bless
ings wit which He visits US. But we
praise Him for what He is in Himself
for His glorious excellences and per-
fections, Independently of their bear
ing on the welfare of the creature.
And it shall often happen that when
thy heart is numb and torpid, and
yields not to the action OF prayer, it
shall begin to thaw, and at last burst,
like streams under he breath Of
spring from their icy prison, with the
warmth and genial exercise of praise.

THROWN OUT.

The case in which Mayor Rich was
interested and which came up before
Judge Enochs at Brandon yesterday
was thrown out of court because the
Judge contended that it was not pro-
perly presented-in fact was no case
at all. This sends it back to where
it began, and as in all probability
it will not be entertained by any
other court on account of it having
once been thrown ont this may be the
last of it. Judge Enochs, we are
told, was little surprised that the
case was brought before him in the
shape it was.
1t is to be hoped that the parties
on the opposite side will reconsider
the matter and drop it for ali time.

tiesburg can lose a great deal, and
Hattiesburg just now is not in humol

THE OENGUE FEVER IS
SPREAD BY MOSQUITOES
Dr. Mays States That the Fact Has Been Scien-
tificaIly Proved---Safety From Epidemic
in War on the Insect Pests.

It must be remembered that the mos
quito is not a traveller; it never wan
ders far from the place where it was
born. If bred in a taro patch, it will
live out its short life there or there
abouts, unless carried away by high
wind. Both the lay and medical press
have furnished interesting testimony
lately that the mosquito can be fought
and practically suppressed, by resolute,
concerted and prolonged effort Take
the case of Havana
Before the American occupation of
Havana, the yellow fever, also produced
by the bite of a mosquito, ran riot:
often causing hundreds of deaths year
ly. Under American rule the city was
cleaned up and sanitated, and a relent-
less and systematic warfare was begun
against the mosquito by the United
States Marine Hospital Service. Squads
alley, garden and vacant lot almost
daily, and no possible breeding place
for the vile insect was allowed to ex-
list. Tanks and cisterns, in which wa
ter must needs stand, were petrolized
at regular intervals, and closely watch
ed. The result stands as a monument
to the energy and genius of those who
organized the campaign and carried it
