'THE season Of catching cold is upo

THE season of catching cold is upon
/ us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin OF
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
infiamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
Oxford eagle., 1903-02-05

While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter-
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex-
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.

Don't Postpone school Building.

The building of roads and bridges
may be postponed with only incon-
venience and temporary material loss
as result; but to postpone the build
ing of good schools brings eternal loss
in knowledge. intelligence, culture and
the highest interests of life to the
boys and girls fast growing through
the educable years of childhood and
youth to manhood and womanhood A
people may sometimes be justified in
postponing the one, never in postpon-
ing the other.

Richmond, Ind, Sept. 29.-A new

the New York Gas Coal and Supply
company. 1t is capitalized at $20.-
100000. Inroads will be made in the
Trenton limestone fields as soon as
possible. Although the company has
purchased large interests in western
Ohio and West Virginia, it thinks bet
ter of the Indiana territory and will
expendan immense sum in buying pro-
ductive leases and wells now produc-

1t is asserted that the capital of the
company is liable to increase at any
time, and that it will in the near fu-
ture gain control of as much valuable
territory in the United States as the
great Standard Oil company.

that she has become a very heavy dead
weight, requiring two strong men to
lift her.
For many years she has been in the
habit of eating salt. and evidently did
lot of hard work with very little
else to eat. She has always been a
fresh air girl, going out into the fields
where of her own free will she helped
the men. Taxing handful, she would
fill her mouth with it and chew it
down, taking no water with il. If she
was thirsty salt would quench her
thirst. She would make whole meal
of it if permitted, and when it was
refused her she would beg piteOusly
for it.
