IT 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 catarrl,
the most common and dreadful OF dis
eases, is cold
This is the way the chronic catarrh
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat Then follow sensitiveness Of the
cold very easily At last the person has
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. a bottle Of Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cure common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured
OF chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rude, 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 i'll 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 ct
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

Japanese Sahered by Cossacks.
OF 600 japanese who succeeded in eff
fectlng landing near Talienwan Dal-
n.y. 43O were ssbered by the cossacks
and the survivors escaped to the ships.
The most serious. engagement was at
Il point on the shore of Pigeon bay, west
or Fort Arthur, where a force Of $4,000
japanese troops attempted to disembark
under cover of night All was quiet ON
the shore of the little cove when the
Japanese fleet of transports under con-
voy of half a dozen warships drew near.
Silently the long rowboats of the trans
ports were lowered and filled with
soldiers. Not sound was heard from
the shore to indicate that their presence
was suspected. Quickly the boats We're
roWed to the beach and, having landed
their passengers, returned to the trans
ports for more.
Wage Fierce Battle on the Shore.
About 5000 japanese had been landed
on the narrow beach when suddenly a
sheet of flame burst forth from the en-
circling hills and with rush large
body of Russian infantry swept down
upon the invaders.
The guns Of the japanese warships
shelled the hills back of the beach, but it
was impossible to reach the Russian
force without doing equal slaughter in
the ranks Of the landing army.
The japanese fought furiously, but
wer overpoWered and forced to retreat TO
their boats, by which they were con-
yeyed to the transports, taking with them
as many Of their dead and wounded as
they could. 1t is not known what the
japanese loss was, but it must have been
heavy.

an army was made about firty miles
farther north, but the japanese We're

Commission SATISFIED
IN N 'MICHAELS CASE
Philadelphia Postmaster Remains in
Office and Postmen Are RebSned
to Old Duties.

Feeling that It has been placed in a
false light by the stories which have
been published concerning the case Of
Postmaster McMichaels, of PhiladeI-
phia. who was charged with forcing
postmen to do political work while de-
'ivering the mails. the Civil Service
Commission yesterday issued a state
ment explaining it's position.
The statement says the investigation
shows that while Mr. McNIichaels was
probably innocent of any intentional
wrong, it is true that transfers were
made i'm the Philadelphia postofice for
political reasons, and in violation OF the
rule against political discrimination. The
postmaster refused to answer one of
the questions put by Commissioner Coo
ley. but he subsequently made a full
explanation. and the commission attrib-
utes his original contumacy to inadver-
tence. This subsequent explanation is
declared by the commission to have
been eminently satisfactory.
The President has ordered that the
three postmen who were transferred for
political reasons be returned to their
original routes. The commission closes
b saying that while il does not propose
to interfere with the discipline of any
Office, it will see that the civil service
rules and laws are enforced. and in this
