CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
 RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic cstarrh.

he diseass now Hao~a as grip used to be called ''inhuenza."
 It very closely resembles cold, but is more tenacious in its hold upon the system and produces more profound disturbances.
 Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh When it once begins 1t spreads over the country very rapidly.
 People do not catch the grip from each other, but each one catches 1t from the atmosphere.
 "Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
 fer La Grippe" Robt. L.. Madison, A. M, Principal of Cullowhee High School. Painter, N. C., Is Chairman of the Jackson County Board of Education.
 He is a writer of occasional verse and has contributed to number of leading, papers and magazines,--rellg- sious. educational and secular.
 In speaking of Peruna, Mr. Madison says
 q am hardly ever without Peruna in my home It is the most effective medicine that I have ever tried for Ia grippe.
 Tt also cured my wife of nasal ca tarrh. Her condition at one time was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils.
 Tn consequence. an iniamed condi- ton of the throat was brought about. getting worse and worse and yielding to no remedy until Peruna was tried. ''
 Healthy Mucous Membranes.
 Those who are fortunate enough to have perfectly healthy mucous mem branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
 The mucous membranes lining the nose, throat and lungs. when in a normal state, are an effectuaI barrier against the invasion of grip
 But. if there happens to be the slightest catarrhal derangement of the mucous membranes. then the victim becomes an easier prey to- the grip.
 This in part explains why some peo- pie get the grip. while others do not.
 The rational thing to do Is to keep the system free from catarrh. In att temp ting to do this most people have found Peruna to be invaluable. Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La
 Grippe, Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
 For Present Good Health.
 Mrs. Jennie W Gilmore, Box A, White Oak. Ind Ter, formerly House. keeper for Indiana Reform School for Boys. writes:

 "The only thing I used was Peruna and Manalin. and have been in better health the last three years than for years before. s-
 T give Peruna all the credit for my good keaith"
 During an epidemic of grip Peruna should be used. The doses recon. mended on the bottle are sufficient.
 After the grip has once been &C., ouired. Dr. Hartman recommends the use Of Peruna in teaspoonful doses ev- cry hour during the acute stage, after which the directions on the bottle should be followed.

College That Can Raise Big Sums

Chicago Feb. S.-President A. w. Harris of Northwestern University last night. in commenting on the do- nation of John D. Rockefeller to the general education board for the pur- pose of promoting the cause of edu- cation through the country found one serious objection to the system of the board in handing out the money.

Beloit was of- fered $200,000 by the board as Sne third of an endowmHns on condition that the college would raise the other two thirds.
 "This Beloit found impossible and consequently couli only obtain, $5O.OOO of the amount. The colleges that gan raise. two-thi of such an endowment is not the college that needs the money the most"

snowstor,n in New York.

New York likes new sensations and yearns for supremacy even in these things. She likes to have the great est murder trial and the greatest of everything else. So..when the greatest snow storm in thirteen years arrived this week. she put on her snow shoes and proceeded to enjoy 1t.
 But in this town with it's Babal building and canyon streets snow storm soon becomes . nuisance. The street cars can't get along. suburban trains are delayed. and people who live outside the city can'et get in and out. The city, too, has a hard time get ting it's milk and other perishable food. Then there's the job of removing the snow from the streets. In the case of the present visitation this cost the city not less than half a million dollars. The contractors had 5000 carts and B.. GOO men at work for several days and profit to them was not very large.
 The time when the contractor makes his bit Is when the rain comes to his aid. Under his agreement with the city ne gets paid for every inch of snowfall recorded by the weather bu- reau no matter whether he actually removes it. or whether the rain does the work for him.
