CATARRH OF HEAD.
BRONX BURGLARS BUSY
ENTER ! Flats IN BLOCK.
Take Je7celry Talued at $?,0OO-
UOrk of Daylight Band.

When the enterprising Bronx burglar "aburg-
ling goes he does his work completely. In
proof of this four families at Nos 66S and GO
linton avenue can testify. When all the mem
bers of these families were away from home on
Friday afternoon burglars entered their flats and
in three of them obtained diamonds jewelry and
clothing valued at about $1,000 and about $3.50
in cash. II is believed that there four
men implicated in the robbery.
Children who had been playing in the street in
front of the house tell of seeing four suspicious
looking men lurking about the house before the
thefts were discovered and of their leaving the
house with large bundle tied with a rope APP
parently the thieves had selected the house Nos.
6T2 and GA linton avenue, door further
north, for their explorations. but deferred
by the presence of the industrious daughter of
the janitor who was scrubbing the stoOp at the
time. So they entered Nos, 66S and GT0. Before
doing they sent little Johnny shannon whose
home one OF those robbed, for spool of
thread
Whether the quartet separated. each entering
a fiat. whether they worked together, is not
known. but their work was thorough. The
greatest loser was q family named Gray. living
the third floor. There the thieves obtained a
box containing diamond jewery valued at nearly
$1,000 and $500 in cash They left behind sill
verware, perhaps because il could be more easily
traced. In the ground floor fiat of John Shan
non the invaders got two rings and some of Mr.
ShannOns spring clothing. while in the Rush
cover home they obtained a gold watch. The
men used skeleton keys in gaining entrance,
which they left behind in the Rushcower fiat.
They also entered the home of Joseph Zacharias
on the second floor. but did not take anything
there
Evidently the burglars disappointed with
their haul in the RushcOwer fiat. for they took
several of the pictures from the walls and broke
them, besides upsetting things generally. They

FOR INLAND W4TERW1YS.

Washington, April 1s.-Secretary Taft has in
dorsed the bill introduced by Senator NewIands
providing for the appointment OF an inland water
way commission and for the Improvement and de-
velopment of great scheme of inland water routes
throughout the country. The approval from the
War Department received to-day by Senator
Frye. chairman Of the Committee on Commerce \
number of amendments were suggested TO perfect
the measure.
Provisions Of the bill considered Of special merit
by Secretary Taft pointed by him
Among these is the provision tor coordination be
tween navigation and other uses of the waters in
connection with their Improvement for the promo
tion of commerce among states. This is recognized
by the War Department wise and necessary"
The cooperation with states, municipalities
porations individuals provided for by the bill is
particularly commended. Secretary Taft says
This provision seems to be based on the con-
stantly increasing utilization of the streams not
only for navigation, but for other purposes which
has accompanied extension OF settlement and in
of population With sparse settlement large

Peruna is not recommended for other chronic
diseases. II is recommended by us only for
catarrh.
But catarrh is so frequently the cause of
other chronic diseases and the manifestations
of catarrh are so various and complicated that
it should not excite surprise that many people
believe that Peruna cures a number of different
chronic ailments. But have never. during
many years OF advertising, recommended Pc
runa for any other disease but catarrh.
We believe Peiuna to be excellent catarrh
remedy. We have consistently so recommended
it. The notion that We recommend it for all
chronic ailments is not founded on anything to
be found in the Peruna advertisements
