A report comes from Oys-
ter Bay to the effect t h a t
Speaker-to.be Cannon, after
q conference with the Presi-
dent, egreed to withdraw his
opposition to the considera-
ton of all financial legisla-
legislation at the next ses>
sion of Congress. There is
some skepticism regarding
the report, however. Persons
who know Mr.. Cannon we'll
declare that he would never
have receded from bis posi-.
tion without some very valu
able promises from the Presi
dent. OF course if Mr.. Roose
welt was ready to place a con
siderable amount Of patron.
age. at the disposal of the
prospective Speaker he could
obtain from the latter a
promise to do or not to, do
anything at all. On the 9th
er hand, it ia pointed out
out that a promise from the
Speaker to withhold opp osi-
ton means nothing because
the Speaker does not have to
oppose legislation. His mere
neglect means it's defeat. Mr.,
Roosevelt's sudden interest
IN financial legislation is ta-
ken to indicate his desire tO
regain popularity with Wal
street and it is interesting to
note that his interest and ad
yocacy of such legislation

The First Stage Of
Chronic CataPrh.
A Serious Mistake Which
Thousands Are Making.

The first stage Of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold"
It may be in the head. nose, throat or
lungs. Its beginning is sometimes 50
severe as to cause a chill and consider
able fever, or it may be so slight as to
not hinder a person from his usual BUSH
ness. In perhaps majority of cases
little or no attention is paid to the first
stage of catarrh. and hence it is that
nearly one-half of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as anyone discovers
the first symptoms Of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle
and the cold is sure to pass away with
out leaving any bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end IN the second stage of ca
tarrh which is making so many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough chronic
catarrh would be practically an I'M
known disease.
Miss Rosa Gerbing, a popular society
woman of Crown Point. Ind, writes:
Last winter I took long drive in
the country, and being to thinly clad
caught a bad cold which settled on
my lungs, and which I could not seem
TO shake off. had heard a great deal
of Peruna for colds and catarrh and L
bought a bottle to try. I am pleased
that did for if brought speedy relief.
