the people think that catarrh is a dis ease confined to the head alone.
 This is not true. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body-throat, bronchial tubes, lungs. stomach. kidneys. and especially the pelvic organs
 Many a woman has made this dis covery after long siege of useless treat ment. She has made the discovery that her disease Is catarrh and that Peruns can be relied upon to cure catarrh wher- ever located.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case. and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

TOO MUCH WIND
 FOR YACHT RAGE
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HIS TORY OF THE EVENT THE SEA WAS 100 ROUGH FOR THE THIRD SPIN.

New York, Aug. 29.-For the first time in the history of Americas cup contest, a race has been postponed because of too much wind. Today the third of the series of races was to have been sailed Following the futile attempt of Thursday when there was not enough wind to com pletc the race within the time limit. 1t was earnestly hoped by yacntsmen tha. todays contest would be decisive ard the series completed. Ten hours after Thurs days drifting failure, storm broke over the cup course and ragged about Sandy Hook. The water was tumbled into waves that troubled even an ocean liner The wind blew with a velocity of fifty miles an hour, and the rain, driven before if, obscured the vision beyond mile or two Within the sheltering bend Of Sandy Hook, where the two racing yachts rode at Lheir moorings, the water was campar- atively quiet this morning, while across the sandy openings on the ocean side the surf boomed as 1t broke upon the beach,
 At o'clock the regatta committee met at the New York Yacht club house and decided to postpone the race for the day. The meeting was then adjourned until 1 D. m., when a decision as to a race being sailed Monday will be reached. In the meantime, a tug was sent to Sandy Hook to secure the views of MT. Iselin and Sir Thomas Lipton in the matter and upon the return of the tug definite action will be taken. A prominent member of the Yacht club said this morning that he was in flavor of race Monday, and now that Sir Thomas Lipton has openly ex- pressed himself upon the abilities of both boats and acknowledged himself defeated, it was thought advisable by many mem bers of the Yacht club that the race be sailed Monday and the series completed as soon as possible.
