BErERLEY MANOR SCHOOLS.
Seine Importan, Changes Contemplated

The school trustees Of Beverly Man
or district, s. q. Brown. r. L. Floyd
John W. Todd. and county superin
! tendent. E o. Peale, were in session
for several hours last Saturday con
sidering school Interests Of the dis
trict. The condition of the large ma
jority of the schools is highly crafty
ing. There are few small schools
that are not making q lawful average,
and what to do with them is what Is
worrying the school board. They dis
cussed the problem in all it's phases. Ii
is up to the trustees to close these
weak schools and thus deprived mum
Der of children of school privileges, or
continue to run them in violation Of
law. It. is a tough proposition. As a
result Of the meeting Saturday it is the
determination of the trustees to bring
about a consolidation Of some schools
before next school term. With that
view. proposals will be advertised for
tarly in the Spring for hauling pupils
from their homes to central schools {,
80 that children in the neigh orhOod
of the closed schools will not lose the
CT ance of an education. In other
words, If the school is taken away from
the child, the child will be taken to the
school.
In bidiing for hauling pupils it will
be required that the vehicles used will
be covered. and have side and end
curtains for use in stormy weather.
also cushioned seats, lap robes or
blankets. In awarding contracts con.
sideration will ne given to the respSh
sbilIty and moral character of the
driver, as we'll as to the lowness of the
bid. The matter is in a tentative
shape at present, but it is probable
that bids will be asked for the follow

HALE 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 az fate, and can be relied on to occur
to 1T 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. It is capable Of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
It pervades every part Of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located Is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.
Mrs. M. Z. Bousch, Richmond, Va,
writes: 81 had c9tarrh all through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. was advisad to try Peruna and
I have taken five bottles Of 1t and am
well and better now than I have been
for years. I can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part Of the body to
take Peruna. MY little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before I began to
take Peruna was sick all the time, but
now am entirely cured, and all praise
II due Peruna."-Mrs. NJ. K. Bousch.
Catarrh of tho Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
II am entirely cured Of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
. severe one."-Herman Ehlke.
Catarrh Of the Throat.
B. Il. Runyan, Sa1esville, O., writes:
81 suffered with catarrh of the throat
for Ave years. was induced to try
Peruna. I have used five bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. Fl. Runyan.
Catarrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1873 Beech street,
Eitchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me Of catarrh of
the middle ear. feel better than have
for several rs."-Archie Godin.

urethra and bladder for two years. AT
the time I wrote to you was under the
care Of my home doctor, and had been
for four months.
"I followed your directions but two
months, and can say Peruna cured me
Of that trouble. "oJohn Smith,
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
age, suffered with catarrh IF the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
