M. e. Gee, NJ. D.
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh' dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

A constantly increasing number of

thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal

medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one

In the educational column OF today's
GRAPHIC, County Superintendent
Long gives the teachers Of this county
a paragraph of good advice. Though
short, it is full of meat and right TO
the point. While Mis-, Long probab-
~ has direct reference to the technic-
al part of a teachers work and refers
more particularly to the necessity CT
acquiring knowledge directly connect
ed with the work ut hand, yet aside
from this it is a lamentable fact that
the generality of teachers in u pub
lie schools, of the feminine gender in
particular-and they constitute the
large majorlty-are woefully ignorant
of the most commonplace topics OF
current interest and in this repect fall
far short of the information possessed
by the average parent whose offspring
they are trying to teach. And this
comes from lack Of reading the cur
rent literature and leaves a dizziness
which makes keen observation inn
possible. 1T is a striking fact that
the majority Of teachers do not even
read a daily newspaper, often times
net even their county papers, saying
nothing OF the magazines, but contine
what reading they do to papers de-
voted to their profession, with now
and then a noyel-as they can get hold
of it. A teacher who is a regular sub
scriher to one or county papers
is a curiosity to newspapermen. A
teacher should be something more
than a mere machine, to simply grind
from her pupils the daily tasks from
the text books. She ought to be a
storehouse of general knowledge; a
walking encyclopedia of all current
topics upon the public mind of the
present day-in short, the ''smartest"
person in the whole neighborhood.

and Infect to the top Of the mast.
She has five decks all plated with

cent more than the biggest Atlantic
liners. II the Dakota was set down
on Main street in Kimball she would
fill the street from the GRAPHIC office
