True Cause of Disease.

IN these days almost every ailment ID
supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as wen - 'ne
people, seem 20 have gone mao over 'ne
germ theory of disease.
Tho universal fear and dread or u.s.
ease germs is becoming Very serious
matter TO the welfare and happiness Oh
Dr. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
OF the germ theory, that n1osf diseases
are caused by climatic influences
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for moro than onc-half OF the Ills
TO which human beings are subject.
Dsnser Of Neglected Colds
A person catches cold easily. thinks
nothing about il, negiecfs Ia, when it
finally becomes settled in some organ
OF the body, and chronic disease Is tho
result
A few doses Of Pcruna in the begin
months Of suffering, rs well as great ex-
pense for treatment.
Peruna is a reliable relief for cold.
| Almost every body knows this.
| Instead Of trying to dislodGc or XIII
some imaginary germ, IL Peruna was
used at the proper time its tonic proper
tiles and anti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince the patient that he has
found the right remedy.
| A multitude of letters are received
testifyinC TO this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use 10
whenever cold or climatic affections as
sail, and sickness in the household viii
become greatly lessened, IL not entirely
prevented.

W|LLl CUT RED TAPE
Carefully Studying the Situation-Ne,v
Orleans Banker Reports Cotton
Movement Going Forward Remark
ably Well-Refcrence to Currency
nlOrS.

Washington, November 22.-An i'm
portant announcement OF his policy
was made by Secretary Cortelyou late
this afternoon in regard to the allOt-
ment OF the new one-year treasury
certificates, which inu1cates that the
secretary is prepared to cut red tape
as far as possible and place the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the certificates
promptly at the disposal Of the money
market
Secretary Cortelyou Is carefully
studying the applications for certifi-
Gates in order to make the allOtments
in the manner which will be most
beneficial to the monetary situation.
The secretary continued to receive
calls today from prominent bankers
and letters from various points in re-
gard to the new issues.
Among those who Iaf1ed on Secre-
taryCortelyou today was Ar. Sol.
Wexler. vice president Of the Whitney
Central National Bank of New Or
leans. Mr.WeXler reported that the
cotton movement was going forward
remarkably well under the adverse
conditions prevailing. The New Or
leans banks are supplying currency
to the cotton growing districts and
at the same time are maintaining
however. to obtain all the assistance
possible from the treasury. in order to
prevent a deficiency OF currency
which would cOugest the cotton crop
at Southern points and prevent the
drawing Of bills against shipments to
Europe. Thus far the difficulty in dis
posing of bills for cash at New York,
which was somewhat acute two or
three weeks ago has been largely
in the general situation and partly
by direct dealings with Europe.
A sreat variety OF rumors are IN
circulation in regard to the pur-
pose OF the president and Sec
retary COrtelyOu in reference to
currency legislation. Suggestions such
as the insuring Of deposits in ma
tional banks. which Mr.. Bryan has
just endorsed, the issue or additional
bank notes against state and muntc-
ipal bonds. and the requirement Of In
terest on government deposits in the
banks are reported to have been pre-
sented to members Of the administra-
ton and to have been favorably re-
ceived. The fact appears, to be. how
ever. that the president and secretary
of the treasury are simply assuming
a receptive attitude and are listening
to all suggestions which are made 10
them. without committing themselves
to any.
conference held at the white
house tonight between the president
and J. Pierpont Morgan. George f.
Baker. president OF the First National
Bank OF New York and Assistant Sec
retary Robert Bacon. Although the
nature Of the conference has not been
divulged, il is believed to have been
in relation to the financial situation.

me too liberal. Long ago boldly TOOK
the ground that the Sabbath was made
for true rest, and thirty years ago my
name was presented before the county

there is, or should be, happy medium

he will meet that should meet its death

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.
Outlook in Windham County Favor
able in Spite of Late Spring.

Crop prospects in Brattleboro and
Wmdham county are good, says the
Springfield Republican, but the success OF
some Of them depends upon whether they
escape early frosts. Everything is late,
but the farmers feel that with proper
weather conditions the yield OF their
acres will not be materially diminished
by the backward spring, The hay crop
is the principal one in Windham county
This crop was rather light last season,
aud there is now but very limited
amount of old hay. The crop this year
would have been considerably larger than
that of last year had not the grass been
winter-killcd in many places, In spite OF
that drawback, there will be a good av'
crage yield, the cold wet spring and the
weather since then being favorable for
mxuriant growth. The hay crop will
be from 10 days to two weeks late, so
late in fact, as TO seriously interfere with
the second growth.
Corn is just beginning to grow and It
will have to develop rapidly TO ripen oil
before the first frosts come. The crop IS
at least two weeks late owing to the cold
spring. Farmers who planted corn early
