There are indications that the troubles

The acceptance OF the resignation OF
Choirmaster Ernest Leigh marks the
incident as closed.
Many members Of the choir, who are
loyal TO Mr.. Leigh, declare that the Rev
Henning Helms. rector OF the church,
has subjected them TO indignities which

and it is not improbable that the vestTy
will be requested to investigate the
conduct Of the rector.

II is now asserted that the Rev. Mr..

Soloist Tells Her Side.
Mrs. Y. X. Bowie. of 1902 Vermont
avenue, formerly soprano soloist at
the church. and now a member OF the
choir, said today that the rector on
one occasion visited her home and used
such insulting language that her moth
er asked him to leave the house. Mrs.
Bowie was so much disturbed by the
occurrence that she became i'll and was
compelled TO remain in bed for three
days.
While this is an extreme case. several
~ the members OF the choir say that
the Rev. Mr.. helms has been unfair
in his Interference with the choir work.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPc-
runa be submitted TO any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was Of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test ofmany
years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent of Peruna has q reputation of its
owninthe cureofsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINEin the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last butnot least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience Of DR., Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. Itmaybe of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary for
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
chewing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
