# HE season Of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrli.
the most common and dreadful of dis
eases, is q 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 follow sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. AT last the person has
a 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. \ bottle of Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cure Il common
cold. TINS preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as q 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 slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

All liberty loving people OF the world
WATCHED with greatest interest Tie strug-
gle in which Washington and his com
patriots were engaged for liberty and
freedom against the ovcrbearing and
domineering English aristocracy, all
classes of men furnished suocor and
made loving offers to our heroes. thereby
showing the high appreciation in which
they held the men who sacrificed every
thing they possessed for the cause of lib

preston.
How deeply the cause of the colonies
had impressed itself into the hearts of
the common people is beautifully shown
by the magnitcently worked sword which
to-day graces wall in the house of
George Washington at Mount Vernon
on the Potomac. This sword was made
by manufacturer of swords at Solin-
gen. Germany, made by the masters own
hands. charming piece of Workmanship,
the blade inlaid with golden letters,
reading as follows, in the German lam
guage:
"'Vertilger des Despotismus. Beschuet-

Nimm Won meines Sohnes Hand dieses
Schwert, ich bite Dich.'
The sword was brought from Ger

introduced to Gen. George Washington

Steuben "a true friend of Washington

Washington as follows:

MAKING OF PATENT LEATHER.
Each Manufacturer Has His Own Pro-


cess.
All manufacturers Of patent leather
have their own tanning processes,
much like those of the calfskin tanner.
though some patent leather is given az,
bark tanning. Horsehide and colt. :,
skins are the chief feathers made with
a patent finish.
The patent or enamel finish is really
painted and baked on, rs the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto frame. Tanners are very par
ticular about keeping their processes
secret, and nobody but workmen is
ever allowed into the finishing rooms.
The hide or skin, having been |
stretched and dried as much as posi-. |
BILE, is first given coating of mix.
ture of linseed oil. litharge. white lead |
or similar materials boiled, together |
until they make a pasty mixture.
This is daubed on the surface with |
a steel tool and well rubbed i'm, so that |
the pores of the leather will be filled |
up. Then the leather is put into the
oven, its surface being exposed to |
steam pipes at temperature of aboVl
160 degrees.
Next the surface is rubbed down |
with pumice stone. and then it is GOV.
cred with linseed oil and ivory black,
about six layers applied, each layer
being dried and rubbed down. Finally
varnish is applied, and then the sur
face is rubbed down and finished off as
