'T7HE season of catching cold is upon
11S Thc cnnrh and the sn eeza and

|TVHE season of catching cold is upon
e 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 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,
nostlils stopped up, full feeling in the
head and sore, infamed 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 single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a 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 mot 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.

CHEAP OCTAGON SILO.
BuiIf by Western Farmer i'm a Few
Days and without Amy Elk
pert Assistance.

The first cost of silo usually fright
ems the would-be builder from building.
and the building is therefore postponed
for another year. The writer saw this
silo built by a farmer in couple OF
days with no expert assistance-just
built by the farmer and his ordinary
help. The day before the erection OF
the silo the farmer had not stick OF
material on hand. On the day men
toned, he brought a couple of loads OF
logs to a nearby sawmill and had them
sawn into 2x7-inch planks. In the same
afternoon, he went to town and
brought home couple of loads of hem
lock boards and a roll of felt and some
