THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season Of catching cold is upon
i us. the cough and the Sneezc IND
nasal twang are Ia be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
catarrh, the most common and dreadful
of diseases, is "a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on ~lOngcrthan usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Thcnfollowsscn Sitivcncssofth
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
a odd al the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose. hawking,
splitting, frequent Observation-Disclosures
nostrils stopped mp, fun feeling in the
head and sore, inilaincd throat.
The best time TO treat catarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle Of Pcrunn
properly used never fails To cure com
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people hav" been cured
Of chronic catarrh by Il single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as arnlc, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, nor than
one bottle is necessary to complete Il
cure. Pcrunn has cured eases iunumcr-
able Of catarrh of twenty ycara'stand-
ing. It is the best, if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butprevcntion is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Pcruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of the year and
thus prevent what is almost certain t.
end in chronic catarrh.

NATIVE HAWAIIANS
 ON THE DECREASE
INCREASE IN NUMBER OF FOR EIGN BIRTHS ON THE ISLAND SHOWS A VERY MARKED CON- TRAST.

Washington, January S.-Some interest ing facts about present conditions in Ha- waii are presented by the department of commerce and labor through it's bureau of statistics These facts reached that bureau in the Hawaiian annual for 1904, which arrived on the opening day of the new year
 Regarding population the figures show a steady decrease in the number of na- lives and steady increase in the number of persons of foreign births. especially Der of natives was in round terms. 5o. GOO and 1900, S0OOO. In 1872 the number of Chi nese was, in round terms 2.0O0 and in 1900 25.O00 The record of Japanese among the population only begins with 1884. when the number was 116 persons. but In 1900 the number was over 6l 900. The total popula- ton of 1872 is given at 56,s97 and 1900 at 154O0 The relation of nationality to plantation labor Is indicated by a table which shows the nationality and number of sugar plantation laborers the number of Japanese being 31,029 out of a total of all nationalities of 42,242. these figures being for the year 1902. The Japanese plantation laborers increased from 13,SS4 in 1894 to 3l .029 in 1902, while the Chinese laborers on sugar plantations fell in num- Der from STA in 1897 to 3937 in 1902. Portu- guese are next in rank in the number of sugar plantation laborers the number of Portuguese being 2669. the next following this is the Porto Ricans 2036. while native Hawaiians are only 149S In number.
 Sugar of course continues to be the principal crop of Hawaii though a num- Der of other tropical products are now re- ceiving careful attention, including coffee. tobacco, ssal fiber, manila hemp. vanilla beans, and pineapples. The experiments with sisal grass begun within the past two years, have given great encourage ment and lead those engaged in the ex- perinents to the belief that Hawaii may become an extensive producer of that valuable fiber of which the importations into the United States amount to more than SlSOO0.0O0 per annum in value and steadily increasing
 The Hawaiian Fiber company reports out of It's first crop an exportation of about $s0O0 in value of sisal in the year 1903. this product being obtained from an area of about 120 acres. While no re- cent experiments have been made with manila hemp thesreport states that sam ples of the plant from which manila hemp is produced. introduced several years ago In various parts of the Ha- waiian Islands, justify by their present condition the belief that the Hawaiian Islands may become producers of manila hemp as well as sisal.

To many people 1t seems to take delight In mak- ing bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder. twinges sharper. catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this. but there Is truth. and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments The medicine that cures them--Hoods Sarsaparila--is easily ob- tained and there is abundant proof that it's cures are radical and permanent.
