THE season of catching cold is upon
j us. The cough and the sneeze and
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. Thenfollows constituencies of the
cold very easily. At last the person has
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting frequent clearing of the throat,
nOstrils stopped up, full feeling in the
head and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a COM
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
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 necess ary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innnmer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. II is the best, if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butpreventioni 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 prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catarrh.

It has been we'll said that many noble
enterprises owe their origin and success
to women. This truth was exemplified
during our civil war by schemes to pro-
mote the comfort and relieve the suffer
lngs OF the soldiers. A notable instance
was the great fair in st. Louis, known
as the Mississippi Valley Sanitary fair,
IN 1854. The project was for the benefit
OF the sanitary commission, which had
been instituted in St. Louis in 1861 by
Gen. Fremont. ~ * g.
The enterprise was pushed with zeal
and enthusiasm. The Inauguration was
set for May II, and extensive prepare
tons were made. The fair was opened

AN AID TO BEAUTY.
Although Their Owner May Re Plain
of Face, Good Teeth Will Make
Her Attractive.

No woman can be considered beauti-
full who has not clean, regular, we'll
preserved teeth. They are an attraction,
although the owner may be plain of face
No matter how pretty or handsome a
girl or woman may be, if she does not
display good teeth when she laughs,
smiles, or sings, she is not really pleas
ing to the eye.
There is no greater misfortune that
can befall child than to have moth
er who will humor it, when it begs not
to be compelled to cleanse its teeth. At
the time the short-sighted, over-indul-
gent parent may believe that it is a
kindness to yield to the entreaties of the
little one, but few years later this
spoiled child will regret that it was not
made to give that care and attention to
the teeth that will cause them to be
healthy and sound, and look like row
of little pearls.
Every six months the maid or matron
who is really careful of her teeth pays a
visit to the dentist And the watchful,
prudent mother takes her offspring
quite as regularly as she goes herself.
Oftentimes the dentist finds nothing to
do, and when he does the patient does
not suffer as|much as when the teeth are
permitted to go long untreated. The
woman or girl who visits her dentist
twice a year is rewarded in other ways
than that of being saved from pain, for
the bill then is always less than when
one goes only after the tooth has begun
to ache and decay. The frequent visits
also prevent that most distressing pain,

curtains, all in excellent TASTE
In the wealthiest Cuban homes it is
the custom to stable the horses in the
courtyard of the house, and also to
push the carriages through the immense
portals into the lower corridor itself.
Sonora Abreu, however, has followed
the American custom and constructed
stables for her fine horses away from
the house. Living in the country, as she
does, there is more ground space and
she is better able to build outhouses.
Her plantation, given over almost en-
tirely to the cultivation of coffee. is one
of the largest in Cuba. 1t is composed
of 10000 acres of magnificent coffee
land. A mill built at cost of over
$150,000 stands in the midst of it. When
the plantation and mill are in active
operation several hundred plantation
hands are employed. At present, all
work has been suspended on account of
the unsettled state of affairs. Sonora
Abreu supports these farm hands even
though they are forced to idleness by the
uncertainty of the times. )

CUBA's RICHEST WOMAN
Sonora Abreu, in Spite of Her Wealth
and Social Rank. Ii n simon
Pure Democrat.

Havana has its Sonora Abreu, just as
England has it's Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, and just as the United States has
its Hetty Green.
She is the richest woman in Cuba, q
handsome, intelligent, rather aristo-
cratic widow, worth 81 900 900, and with
no membranes. She is considered a
catch.
To northern eyes 100000 does not
seem important. But, says the Boston
Globe, that sum, of money in Cuba is
looked upon as immense wealth, and so
it is, considering the impoverished con-
dition of the island, and the years of op-
preston when there was no incentive
to amass wealth.
Rosa Abreu is Cuban born: Her hus-
band was Cuban, and. all her interests
and sympathies are entirely non-Span-
ish. Aside from Countess TFernandino,
she is the mOst-talked-Of woman in Ha-
vana, principally for her social charm,
her great generosity in charitable mat
tiers, her taste in dress, and her hospi-
tality.
She lives in the Cerro, fashionable
| suburb of Havana, or more precisely at
Palatino, on the edge of the Cerro. On
Sunday afternoon and evening she
holds a salon, which has actually be-
come famous in the West Indies.
Everyb body goes. 1t is the meeting
place of the Representatives OF the best
Cuban and American society in Havana.
nf nd in, ,ni-
| form line up in battalions around the
walls of her dining rooms. The literary,
artistic and dramatic world of the
Cuban capital come to, meet this clever
woman, with clear, bright, quick mind
! like a northern woman. All society
pays homage to her and she accepts it
all with simple, democratic grace and
| dignity
At the Abreu dancing parties one
meets the prettiest Cuban girls of the
capital, and the best of the Americans,
and since Sonora Abreu speaks English
and French as perfectly as Spanish, she
is quite competent to entertain a CO.'S
mopolitan assembly.
Sonora Aureus home at Palatino is
the typical planters mansion of the bet
ter class. It is built of brick, covered
over with stucco, and great balconies
| and verandas surround it on all sides,
giving it an appearance of comfort and
ease. grove of tall, stately royal palms
surrounds it and makes the house a
cool and shady retreat .
Within the furnishings are an evil
de1ce of the good taste of this southern
woman. The rooms are large and the
