When catarrh once fastenSi self upon

opportunity te perform her part of the
restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which have
found Peruna ofvalue in treating old and
obstinate cascs of catarrh is the Hospital
st. John, who write, as follows:

A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
N"Three weeks ego I wrote 10 tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna.> We recommend IL highly for
colds, coughs, cafarrh and neuralgia.

Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases III the chronic stage.

Judge kyIe'S Way.

Harry q. Kyle, Judge of the police
court, is one of the most genial OF
men. 1t ia bis nature. Few persons
ever saw the Judge without a smile
on his face but once in great while
his patience Is so sorely tried that he
momentsrily loses his temper Such
an instance occurred not long ago In
his court. IAN attorney, eager TO dis
play his knowledge of proper court
procedure, was defending u man
charged with beating his VILE About
every time the city attorney or the
Judge asked the defendant or any OF
the witnesses a question the attorny
would pop up with:
"Biect, on the ground that the
question is incompetent, Irrelevant
and immsterial. Move that it be
stricken from she record"
After the attorney had gone thru
this same formula about score OF
times, the Judge became angry.
Pointing his lead pencil at the at
torney he said:
'Oh, shut up, Brown; you know
darn we'll we ain't got any records
here to strike anything from. Go
back there In the corner and set
down till get through trying this

rATARRH of the respiratory organs
is COMMON aitmCnt IN Canada Tor
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, il
at once became popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds OF cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been SO helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that Of
the Sisters Of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna for the past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy 10 say thai il has given us great
satisfaction.

Washington Nov 2S-Nearly ten thousand

II they are to be permanently assigned to
duty ashore it is argued that the name marines
had best be dropped, for there III be nothing

of the land force they might just well be

If this is done the troublesome matter of pre-
cedence would not be raised; but whatever is
done by the powers that be, the officers and
men of the corps will always glory in the fact
that their branch of the service has played well
its part in history Every star upon the flag
owes it's existence IN measure to the sturdy
arms of the marines, and each star has in days
gone by contributed it's quota of men to the or
ganization.
Though small in numbers, the marines have
been great in achievement at every step OF our
national progress. Whenever the navy has
struck a blow for freedom or for right the ma
rfnes were there and the enemy had good cause
to know it The men of the corps have shed
their blood in every war that the national ban
ner has seen, and the deeds of heroism per-
