whether it is a clear cut epigram or a
crude cOllOquialism, and trace it to its
source. You will invariably find that
these phrases, or saws as they are
called, have a history all their own.
And they are usually descriptive of
some actual condition. These proyin-
ciaI phrases have enriched the Ian
guage and have added to it's force as
well, though some of the provincial
phrases are a good stride from the line
of correct English. Some days ago
several friends were disputing about
the origin of these quaint old savings.

Catarrh In SDrine

The spring is the best time to treat
catarrh. Nature renews herself every
spring. The system is rejuvenated by
spring weather. This renders medi-
cines more effective. A short course Of
Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of
spring, will cure old, stubborn cases Of
catarrh that have resisted treatment for
years. Everybody should have a copy

AN EARLY PRIMARY

April 20, the date hxed for the state
primary, is considerably earlier than
it was Thought it would be. 1t is prob
able the politicians were figuring on
a day early in May, However, in
view of the fact that the state con-
vention is to be held on June /, the
date is none too early. There is still
a full month for registration. and
all who care to register for the prim-
any certainly can do so in that time.
The question as TO whether or not
the county primaries shall be held on
the day fixed for the state primary
has not yet received much attention,
but it win no doubt be decided short
ly. Unless there should develope a good
reason for a, different day the two
primaries in this county will be held
on the same day. Voters doubtless
would prefer to have the primaries
consolidated, as it were, and the ex-
pense would be much less.
OF course the state primary and the
following convention will be tame af-
fairs. The present State House Of
fieers win have no opposition. If there
was a. disposition to antagonist any
one of them there would hardly
be time to make canvass of the
state. That fact makes it quite certain
that there will not be contest for
any one of the State House offices
There would have been no contest
nrobabiy II the urinary had hean
fixed at date a month later.
The state primary will not call out
a large registration, but there may
be contests in many of the counties
which will swell the registration list.
In some of the counties these contests
have already begun and are causing
considerable feeling.

The scheme of the Populists to hold
their convention in Springfield July 4,
in order to be handy to the Demo-
