dict of that court was against him
and he brought an appeal to the SUI
preme court on the ground that the
President had exceeded his constitu-
tional power in dismissing the three
companies without trial by court
martial.
In the case of negro soldiers who
have applied for re-enlistment in the
army, measures to permit such action
will probably be considered by Con-
gress. One of these applications is
from Sergeant Mingo Sanders, a mem
Der of the discharged battalion of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, who has had
thirty years service in the army.
1t is understood the President dis

approved the application on the gen.
eral ground that the negro has not
produced satisfactory or sufficient
proof of his innocence, and that, hay
ing failed to do so within three months
of his discharge, the statute governing
such cases restraints the president
from acting. He takes the ground that
bills now pending before the senate
propose giving him authority to re-
enlist soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
regiment, and some measure probably
will be enacted at the next session of
Congress.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients OF Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh reme-
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged tomb remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
they have stood the test Of many years.
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has q reputation Of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as q tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is q dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

the housewife for its auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated,
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth

and unrelenting war against it keeps
the spider population down, while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten of millions, almost
