II temporarily relieve catarrh
n have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and
other local applications, but, as rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensa-
tion in medical circles when DIR. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would euro catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is radical cure for catarrh began
/ to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.

writes: 81 feel obliged to extend you

Governments Program Completed.
(By the Associated Press

Paris, March 26.-The Chamber OF
Deputies to-day completed the govern
ment's program regarding the male re-
ligioGs orders which applied for au-
thorization to teach in France by re-
fusing by large majority the applica-
ton of Carthusian monks, who Were
separated from the other orders, as form
ing a class apart, they being employed
in manufacturing a cordial. This is the
wealthiest order in France
Able Lemire spoke to-day on behalf
of the monks urging that they spread
their benefactions in the country around
the monastery, and that the money made
by their industry was freely distributed
o the poor. The true reason that the
order was driven from the country, said
the speaker was that it was feared that
their money was used for political pur-
poses. This was untrue.
Premier Combes replied that the argyll
ments in favor of the Carthusan monks
could be reduced to the assertion that
the order does good, and that the deci-
sion against it would be painfully re-
ceived by the country. His opinion was
absolutely different The Carthusian
monks live under the same regime as
the other orders and should be treated
in the same way. They had not been
favored because they were rich.
1t had heen urged that their departure
would cause a serious loss to the De-
partment of Isere, in which their monas-
terry is situated. But the Chamber must
not be guided by considerations of ma
terial interest. 1t was debasing religion
to associate it with commercial enter
prises. 1t was asserted that the Car
thusian monks did not NEEDLE in politics
They have not meddled, opening, with
drums and trumpets like the other or
ders, but they conducted an active prop
uganda against the republic. The SUI
perior general of the Carthusian order
signed a recent pamphlet urging all citi-
zens not to pay their taxes, and to boy
colt the republican officials. The cham
Der then, by a vote of 1913 to 231, refused
TO discuss the application for authorize
tion and adjourned.
During the session an attempt was
made to demonstrate in favor of the
Carthusian monks. Some two hundred
persons gathered in the street in front
of the Chamber of Deputies and began
cheering for the monks. The gates of
the Palais Bourbon We're promptly closed
and the military guard turned out The
police, however, quickly dispersed the
crowd.
