~ ATARRH Is the natural climatic

Over every home hangs the inevita-

No home is entirely free from it. Every

It would be no exaggeration to say that

JAEGER SECOND
OF MERIWETHER
Continued from First Page.

"The scrap between Meriwether and
Branch is over and never in my life
have | seen such a fight. It lasted
twenty-five rounds Of two minutes each

we were in danger OF discovery by the
officer in command Branch really cot

was pounded terribly and he received
some bad blows on the body. Merry 8
only. visible injuries are lump on the
forehead, swollen nose and a couple Of
large lips. His shoulder was wrenched
and his ankle twisted in a clinch during
which they both fell to the floor. Were
it not for these injuries I think M.

never saw more nerve in man than in
Branch, however,
The next letter received here was an
exceedingly pathetic one, telling of the
death OF Branch, alleged to have been
caused by injuries received in the fight.

Young Jaeger's terrible realization
that II the fight had provoked the

In this letter, and tho he knew, beyond

| Of the slightest blame, his regret that
he had even been present was deep.

he entered the battle. He recites the
fact that such fights had. not been in.

your excellent advice Is carefully fol-
lowed. May you prosper in your good
work.
Z. The Many Phases of Catarrh.
Catarrh may appear In the household
In the form Of a slight cold or cough, an
attack of Ia grippe, or even hay fever.
Peruna meets these invasions squarely
and repulses the enemy before it gains
a foothold:
Therefore, Peruna Is a household rem
edy. Used at the correct time it often
obviates the necessity Of continued doc
toring.
Perhaps in no other way can the wis.,
dom Of economy and foresight be SO forci-
bly, expressed as in keeping on hand a
bottle of Peruna to protect the various
members of the family against the en-
croachments Of catarrh.
We have on file thousands Of testimo-
malls from heads Of families, located north
and south, east and west.
These letters praise Peruna for its
efficient protection of the family against
catarrh.

SULTAN'S REPLY
CHASTITY THREAT
Would Meet Naval Demonstration
with Mussulman Uprising
Against Christians.

Constantinople, Nov. 28.-The sultan
today issued an trade approving the de-
cision Of the council Of ministers to
reject the demands Of the powers for
international control of the finances of
Macedonia. Whether the rejection is
absolute or conditional has not been
definitely ascertained. T..
Vice Admiral Husni-Pasha has started
on special steamer for the Dardanelles
presumably with instructions for the
commanders Of the forts regarding their
conduct in the event Of the appearance
of the international fleet. Similar in
structions have been sent to the gov
ernors Of the Turkish island in the arch
ipelago.
Paris, Nov. 23.-Turkey's note in re.
ply to the ultinatum of the powers con.
talns warning that the action Of the
powers in resorting to naval demon.
stratlon may precipitate an internal up
rising Of Mussulmans against the Chris
tian population of Turkey.
&'#> Answer Is a Threat.
This is considered to be threat as il
IS known that no demonstration OF
Mussulmans against Christians can oc
cur unless it has the silent acquiescence
of the Turkish authorities.
The. answer Of the Porte as a whole
IS entirely unsatisfactory, since it does
not respond to the demand for the ex
tension Of the authorities Of the inan
clal agents of the powers for two years
and Is ,evaslve upon the question Of the
general control by the powers of. the
financial affairs Of Macedonia.
All the ministers except the minister
OF war favored yielding to the ultima
tunl, but palace influence led the sultan
to overrule the favorable attitude Of thu
Porte. These influences are regarded a;
the outgrowth of Germany's abstinence
from taking an active part in the nava
demonstration. -
The Turkish reply gives a serious
turn to the negotiations.
