may be one of thousand other little
mishaps, but no one is shroud enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an epi-
demic; everybody seems TO have one at
once. The very air about us is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There Is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
Of families in all parts Of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family peruna
always stays. No home can spare Pc
runa after the first trial of 1t. A splendid
example Of this fact Is found In the
beautiful home Of Mrs. Paul Peschel, OF
ia Quitman street, Newark, Nj. Read

MEXICO,
CLARK FOR MINORITY LEADER
Missouri Delegation Agrees to Support
Pike County Man for the Honor
Judge De Almond Declines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA The Demo-
crafts Of the Missouri delegation to.
day met in conference and united on
Representative Champ Clark for mi
nority leader Of the next House.
There was but one candidate con-
sidered. As this delegation Is one Of
the largest and most influential in
the House, the members believe that
Mr.. Clark will command strong sup
port and probably will be chosen.
The contest has narrowed down to
John 5. Williams, OF Mississippi, and
Clark. Both will make an active
campaign and the outcome cannot yet
be predicted. 1t is admitted that Mr..
Clark strengthened his candidacy in
the debate yesterday, in which he
handled himself well against dozen
of the leading Republicans Of the
House.
The nomination of Missourian as
the minority candidate for Speaker
would be OF considerable advantage
to the delegation, and Mr.. Clark will
leave nothing undone TO win. The
tltular leader has good deal to say
about the assignments OF the minority
members to committee places and is
made a member OF the Committee on
Rules and other leading committees.
MIR. CLARK ACCEPTS.
Mr.. Clark said this evening TO the
Republic correspondent:
''Some time In December, when the
talk as to the Democratic nominee
for the Speakership became audible,
/ notified Judge De Almond, the dean
Of the Missouri delegation, that il he
desired to stand for the nomination
would stop all discussion concerning
myself in that connection and sup
port him cordially and cheerfully.
Very soon thereafter he stated to me
that he declined to permit the use
of bis name, declaring at the same
time that If | desired to make the
run, he was for me, adding that he
had no doubt the entire Democratic
delegation from Missouri would be.
"It turned out that he was correct
in his conclusion. The Missourians
are all earnestly for me. AS Mr.. Rich
ardson has, SO it is said and generally
believed, decided not to seek renomi.

unfairly retire from Congress, deem
1t proper to make formal announce.
ment OF my candidacy. ! have such
encouragement from other states that
| hope to win the honor both for my
self and the State OF Missouri.
81 make this statement largely fol
the reason thatit has been maliciously
reported in certain quarters that
there was much friction in the Mis-
souri, delegation as to the Speaker
ship question. AS matter of fact
there was not particle of friction.
ut may be stated perhaps ought
to be- that no delegation in Congress
stands together more solidly or votes
more unanimously than the Missour
Democrats. | would not think fol
one moment of being candidate fol-
Speaker without their unanimous and
cordial support
