HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, Smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and otherpelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timoniais sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman. by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. D. r. Ramsey writes in a recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
"My son, Leon Ramsey, four years of
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever."-D. r. RAMSEY.
Catarrh of The Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
al am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
Q severe one."-Herman Ehll1e.
Catarrh of The Throat.
B. II. Runyan, Salesville, o., writes:
"I suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. I was induced to try
Peruna. have used Ave bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. n. Runyan.
Catarrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1sS Beech street,
Fttchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middle ear. I feel better than L have
TOR several years. "-Archie Godin.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls. Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her a bottle of
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with
the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many 9TH

Orville L. Bright, the noted Chicago
educator, lectured last evening at the
high school assembly room under the
auspices of the city teachers, his
subject being Booker T. Washington.
the colored educator and reformer,
and his institute at Tuskegee, Ala.
The lecture was free and the audi
ence was one that filled the hall to
its capacity. The city teachers were
well represented and there were
many high and grammar school stu
dents as well as a large portion of
the night school students present.
The lecture was bright and inter

Illustrated with great number of
striking stereCpticon views taken
from southern life, particularly in
and about Tuskegee. Mr.. Bright has
spent much time studying the insti-

largely from knowledge gained by
personal observation.
Sketch of the Race
The speaker gave d brief sketch of
the history of the negro race in this
country, going back to the time when
the first ship load of colored people
were brought here as slaves in 1919.
Another sketch was given of the life
of his subject. beginning with Il refer
ence to his unpromising ancestry and
picturing him in his early life in. a
little One-roOm obscure cabin with
out windows and unprovided with the
commonest necessities Of. civilized
life. So vivid was the word picture
drawn of this remarkable man and
so ably was the work he has done

audience broke out in spontaneous
applause.

The Chief Of Police learned that there
was no such number on Poplar street, and
subsequently learned that the boy was a
son of Hugh w. Montgomery OF st. Louis.
He wired Mr.. Montgomery for money to
send him home. but received in answer a
telegram stating that the boy was q con-
firmed runaway and would not come home

in the thinly clad youth and decided to
send him home at his own expense The

4 p. m. Wednesday. The Chief of Police
wrote a letter to Mr.. Montgomery, stating
that he had sent his son home. but tho

been fncorrigible since he was 3 years old,
for at that tender age he developed a ten

eral States At one time he was detained
by the authorities In Chicago and commit
ted to the John Worthy School. an institu-
ton for incorrigible boys.
When they learned Of his commitment
to an institution. Mr.. and Mrs Montgomery
decided that it was best for him to remain
there. but in short time the younrster
begged to be sent home. and after his par
ents had declined to send for him they re-
