Peruna does all that is claimed for it. 1t
cures catarrh.
Mr. John E. Burns, % Spring Garden
Road, Halifax, N. S., Water Inspector,
writes: . =. ~. ..,...->--~.
IT can hardly find words that can ex-
press my thanks to you for what your
remedy has done for, me. I have been
troubled with catarrh of the head for a
couple Of years, and was persuaded to
try Peruna and found great benefit after
using three bottles, and I can recommend
it highly to anyone suffering from the
same" :. JOHN E. BURNS.
Peruna Cured catarrh Of Several Years
Standing.
Mr. G. L. Martin, Hartford, Ont, choir
leader at st. ,PauPs Episcopal church,
writes: --.-'.
"Peruna is "a wonderful remedy for
catarrhal troubles. I have been troubled
with catarrh for a great many years,
and always trying something for it. but
was able only to secure temporary re-
lief until used Peruna. Only five bot
ties rid my system of all traces Of ca
tarrh, and I have not noticed the slight
est trouble for several months. My head
was stopped up, my breath offensive,
and it is a.. relief to be able to breathe
freely once more" G.. L. MARTIN.

seemingly had forgotten to make the final

chair, when he was reminded by the clerk
at his side. He turned and in a clear
voice declared the house adjourned sine

Mr.. Bailey (Texas) interrupted and said
it was apparent that Mr.. Mason's object
was to talk the Sabine lake bill to death

of making this kind of valedictory.

floor in his own right. He said that ne

pointing toward a woman whose home is

say. He announces that there is sus-

Mr.. Haugland's bill for a. state tax

near a speedy ue4th yesterday afternoon

bill for a state tax commission. Z -

briefly considered by the committee, and
it was decided to make them a special
order for next Tuesday at p. m.
Senator George P Wilson, who intro
duced gross earnings bill in the senate
Monday, says he is confident that it will
stand in the courts, but that the supreme
court Of the United States has declared it
would uphold any. system Of taxation that
was just and equitable He~thinks, there

sustained. and that the Shearer-J ohnson

Spring Time the Best Season Of tn
Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.

Notwithstanding, that a great number
Of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Peruna during the
past cold season, yet it cannot be denied
that the cold wet, stormy weather has
retarded many cures, and, in some cases,
actually prevented a cure.
But springtime has come at last, and
now is the time for all .catarrh sufferers
to begin systematic course Of treat
ment for this disease. The greatest diff
ficulty in the way Of treating chronic
catarrh is that the patient is so liable
to catch cold during the treatment and
thus delay cure. '.,
This liability at this season of the year
is, in great measure, removed, and no
one. should neglect the opportunity to
take treatment.
Peruna is acknowledged by everyone to
be the only reliable and unfailing cure
of catarrh wherever it may be located.
When you take Peruna you are not ex-
perimenting with an unknown remedy.
Men and women Of national reputation
az well as thousands in the humber
walks of life publicly indorse Peruna.

The house took up the Morley board Of
control bill as a Special order late this
afternoon. Friends of all the educational
institutions in the house agreed to stand
by the bill and oppose any amendments.
The prospects before the session were that
the bill would fail to pass.
The senate will take up the same sub
ject tomorrow afternoon and seems likely
to put through bill removing only the
university and normal schools from board
of control jurisdiction. This will bring
the proposition before the house again,

Bills for the taxation of freight line

The new bills provide that after the
value of the property of q freight line

this state has been ascertained, it shall
be assessed at the average rate of taxa

and local. The companies are required to
make statement of their business in

of capital stock, real estate, personal prop
erty, moneys and credits, within and with
out the state. The statement must also
show the total number. Of miles of rail-

Some Evidence of Fatigue as the Session
"Takes Up"
Washington. March 4.-The senate was
called to order at ten o'clock to-day for
the last sitting of the fifty-seventh con-
gress, but business did not begin until
some time later. The delay was due
to- the absence of a quorum and to the
fact that Mr.. Cockrell insisted upon the
presence Of the necessary number before
taking up the work of the day.
President pro tenn Frye was, as usual.
on the minute in ascending to the seat Of
the presiding officer but only about a
dozen senators faced him. The counte-
nances Of most of them bore evidence Of
the two prolonged sessions of Monday
and Tuesday but the indications of fatigue
soon vanished and business proceeded as
smoothly it would have done If, the
senate had adjourned at o'clock yester-
day instead of 2 o'clock this morning. Ii
was noticeable too that the senators wh-
have been most busily and most continu-
ously occupied in the closing days of the
session were among the first to respond
to their names.
The number in the galleries was also
comparatively small The crowd in
creased gradually, however, SO that by
the time a quorum was secured on the
floor the audience was respectable In di.
mansions and apparently sufficiently wide
awake to give due attention to the pro.
