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

THE disease now known as grip
/ used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles a cold but Is
more tenacious in it's hold upon the
system and produces more profound DIS
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other. but each one catches it from the
atmosphere.
"MOst Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. L. Madison, A. NJ, Principal OF
CulIowhee High School, Painter, NC"
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
Heis q writer of occasional verse ana

papers and neutrality-suspicious., edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:

my home. tits the most effective medl'
cine that have ever tried for la grippe.
"It also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was

ton Of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to nc 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 effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But. if there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous mem brancs, then the victim be-
comes 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' III attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.

CHURCHIN AMERICA
Fame of the Ancient House of WOr-
ship in Santa Fe.

The Oldest house of worship in
the United States is said to be the
ancient church of Santa Fee. This is
the claim of the Christian Brothers,
the Roman Catholic order which has
charge of it. Records show that the
foundation of the edifice was laid in
1871. There is only one other
church building nearly as old as
this, the San Xavier, located near
Tucson, Arizona. 1t is held that this
was started in 1547, but as it is set
forth that the corner stone was laid
by Coronado and it appears that Cor
onado was in Spain during that year,
it is figured that the date is about
ten or fifteen years too early.
Erecting the Santa Fe church was
very slow work. it would appear
While the Indians were employed to
do much of the hard labor expert
artisans were brought all the way
from Spain to perform that part
which the abOrigines were incapable
of doing.
Yet it was a sure work. After
400 years the sun-dried blocks that
go to make up the walls, which has
a thickness of from three to five feet,
are still in as good condition as
when they were first placed in posi-
ton.
The church has undergone many
improvements since it was first built.
1t now has little resemblance to the
original structure. The adobe out
side walls have been smOOthed Ovr
side walls have been smOothed over
evidence of decay was shown repairs
were made. The ancient belfry has
been remodeled to such an extent
that its appearance is entirely
changed from that of the original
structure.
The old bell which is said to have
been placed in the church at the time
of its completion. now occupies a po-
sition gust inside the entrance door
of the church. The bell itself is a
relic that attracts the attention OF
all who visit the historic place. The
| bell was cast on August g., 1856, as
! is shown by the date which is nodded
on it, This bell is said to have done
service in Spain for 800 years be-
fore it was brought to the ancient
pueblo of Santa Fe and installed in
! this church.

Deficit Explained by Surplus.
cat the conclusion of the fiscal
year 1902 the deficit in the postoffice
in spite of comparative
" large increased appropriation for
the rural delivery service, did de-
crease to about 100000 from that
time. During several years the de-
fcit increased until at one time it
reached $17,000,000. From then
until now. however, the deficit has
decreased until now the expenses Of
the pOstOfTice department exceed the
income by only $6,000,000.
In 1904 the pOstOffice department
kept an accurate account of the out
going mail from rural delivery
routes, and this account showed that
the average income was only 1920
per annum from the outgoing mail.
Of course the incoming mail could
only be estimated to be about 1922,
a total average income from
rural routes of 1852. This would
leave a deficit if we only considered
the actual salary of the carrier at
that time of $248. Soon afterwards
the salary of the carriers were in
creased to $720, and since that time
to $500, but we have a right to as
sumo that the increase in the in

kept pace with the increase in sala-

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After she grip has once been acquired,
DIR. Hartman recommends the use of
Peruna in teaspoOnful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peru0a as a remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less

Steel Structure Over Bear Creek Turned E Over to Houston County.
 Dothan, Nov. 2S.-(Speciai.)- )--The Toledo Bridge Company has just com pleted and turned over to the county two steel bridges over Bear Creek, which will be of great service to the county.
 The lords before were very poor, and were a constant expense to the county to keep in passable condition, and now the one large expense will prove to be an investment permanent.
 One of the bridges Is known as the Hughes bridge, and the other as the Purvis bridge, which is out near the home of B. c. Purvis.
 The stock law proposition is worry ing the minds of the farmers of HouS- ton now and interesting comnnunica tions pro and con are being published in the county weeklies.
