1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
runa for other ailments. The reason for
this is, most other ailments begin with a
cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other all
ments. This is exactly what every other
family in the United States should do.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic
affections of winter, and there will be no
other ailments in the house. Such fam

Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commentator testifying to the merits of
Peruna as a oatarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman IS receiving hundreds of such
letters daily. All classes write these let
tiers, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
tthe clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
! preacher-all agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy o6f the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh universal; almost omni-
present. Peruna is the only absolute safe
guard known. "A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pc
runa not only cures catarrh, but prevents
it. Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs, colds
and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continu-
ally in the house In a recent letter to

conference. 1t is desirable that In the
formulation of a programme, the dis
tinction should be kept clear between
the matters which belong to the prov
ince of international law and those
which are conventional as between i'm
adividual governments. The final
act Of The Hague conference,
dated July 20, 1899 kept this
distinction clearly in sight. Among
the broader general questions affecting
the right and justice Of the relation Of
sovereign states, which We're then rele-
gated to a future conference were: The
rights and duties of neutrals; the in
volatility Of private property in naval
warfare; and the Commandment Of
ports, towns and villages by naval
force. The other matters mentioned in
the final act take the form Of sugges-
tions for consideration by interested
governments.

his acts Of omission or commission
may have an influence indirect, but
tangible-on O war actually in pro-
gress; whilst on the other hand he may
suffer from the exigencies Of the belli-=
gerents. 1t is this phase of war which
deeply concerns the world at large. Eff
forts have been made, time and again
to formulate rules for action applicable
to its more material aspects, as in the
declaration of Paris. AS recently as
the 2Sth of April of this year, the con-
gress of the United States adopted a
resolution reading thus:
Resolved by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
Of America, in congress assembled,
That It is the sense of the congress of

to be made between absolute and con-
[ditional contraband Of war, and the in
Iyiolability Of the official and private
correspondence Of neutrals
As for the duties of neutrals toward
the belligerent, the field is scarcely less
broad. One aspect deserves mention
from the prominence it has acquired
during recent times, namely, the treat
ment due to refugee belligerent ships
i'm neutral ports.
1T may also be desirable to consider
and adopt a procedure by which states
non-signatory to the original acts Of
The Hague conference may become an
adhering party.
You will explain to his excellency
the minister Of foreign affairs that the
present overture for second confer
ence to complete the proposed work Of
the first conference is not designed to
supersede other calls for the considera-
tion Of special topics, such as the prop
osltion Of the government Of the Meth
erlands, recently issued, to assemble
for the purpose of amending the pro-
visions of the existing Hague conven-
ton with respect to hospital ships. Like
al tentative conventions. that one is
open to change in the light of practical
experience, and the fullest elaboration
IS desirable to that end.
Finally, you will state the presi-
dents desire and hope that the undying
memories which cling around The
Hague as the cradle Of the beneficent
work which had its beginning in 1895
may be strengthened by holding the
second peace conference in that historic
city. ~ Is n

PEACE CALL ISSUED.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

| "On the oath Of September, ultimo,
these resolutions were presented to the
president by a numerous deputation Of
the Interpa union. The
president accepted the charge offered
Ito him, feeling 1t to be most appropri-
ate that the executive OF that nation
| which had welcomed the conference to
its hospitality should give voice to its
| impressive utterances in a cause which
the American government and people
hold dear.
He announced that he would at an
early day invite the other nations, par
ties to The Hague conventions, to re-
assemble with a view to pushing for-
ward toward completion the work al
ready begun at The Hague, by consid-
ering the questions which the first con-
ference had left unsettled with the ex-
press provision that there should be a.
second conference.
In accepting this trust, the presi-
dent was not unmindful Of the fact,
SO wildly brought home to all the
world, that a great war is now in pro-
gress. He recalled the circumstances
that at the time when, on August "a,
1898, his majesty the emperor of Russia
sent forth his invitation to the nations
to meet in the interests of peace, the.
United States and Spain had merely
halted, in their Struggle, to devise terms
Of peace. While at+the present time no
armistice between the parties now con
tending is in sight, the fact OF an ex-
lstlng war is no reason why the ma
lions should relax the efforts they have
so successfully made hitherto toward
the adoption of rules of conduct which
may make more remote the chances Of
future wars between them. In 1899 the
conference of The Hague dealt solely
with the larger general problems which
confront all nations, and assumed no
function of intervention or suggestion
in the settlement of the terms of peace
between the United States and SPAIN
1t might be the same with a reassem-
bled conference at the present time
It's efforts would naturally lie in the
direction Of further condification Of the

which we call international law; its
mission would be to give them future
effect.
The president directs that you will
bring the foregoing considerations to
the attention of the minister for for
eign affairs of the government to which
you are accredited and, in discreet con-
ference with him, ascertain to what
extent that government is disposed to
act in the matter.
Should his excellency invite sugges-
lions as to the character Of the ques-
tons to be brought before the proposed
second peace conference, you may. say
to him has at this time, it would seem
premature to couple the tentative invi-
tation thus extended with categorical
problem of subjects of discussion. It is
only by comparison of views that a gem
eral accord can be reached as to the
matters to be considered by. the new
