A N effective catarrh remedy must
A have a double action upon the
human system.
First, it must have a tonic effect
upon the whole system; and, second,
it must have a direct action on the
catarrhal condition.
Catarrh begins with some form OF
capillary irritation, most commonly
that condition known as catching cold.
Catching cold causes a congestion Of
the mucous membrane, which nay at
tack the head, throat, lungs, or the
mucous membrane of other internal
organs.
The treatment of catarrh is, there
fore, no longer guess work; the nature
of catarrh is so thoroughly understood,
and the action Of the drugs 10 COM
pletely comprehended, that the remedy
can be adjusted to the disease with an
accuracy that almost approaches
scientific completeness.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
bined knowledge of several schools of
medicine in the treatment of catarrhal
diseases. Every ingredient of Peruna
has a reputation of its own in the re-
lief Of some phase of catarrh.

The National Guard
Contributed by Capt. G. H. William

The war department on Feb. 4 or
dered that all troops in the United
States BIZ held in readiness for field
service; this because of the disturb
ances in Mexico. Evidently 1t is the
purpose of the president to send all
United States across the border if it
becomes necessary to use the military
force in uuenihg the disturbance in
Mexico. All or the reports received
at the state department since Feb. 4
indicate that a condition of anarchy
exists in Mexico. President Taft, it is
understood, has grown weary OF tenn
porizing with Mexico and has deter
mined to take hold Of the situation
with a firm hand. The army will do
well to consider the probabilities of
active service.
General wod, on Feb. 8. ordered
General Duncan at San Antonio to de-
tail an officer and a squad Of a dozen
men to escort the Mexican troops as
long as they are on American soil.
Their arms will be packed separately
while on the journey through Texas.
1t is believed that the armed revolt
is fully as serious as 1t was last
spring. The most serious disorders are
reported in the south of Mexico and
in the vicinity of the capital itself,
where the bands under the leadership
of Zapata have grown into a large
force. The Zapataistas have been
raiding for months. and the govern

them from increasing the range
of their operations. chihuahua. bor-
dering on Texas, and Durango, are al
so the scenes Of disorder from bandits
and raiders. Bridges have been burnt,
trains held up and stores and houses
looted. Mexico city was completely
cut off from the United States by
burned bridges.
Commanders Of the departments of
the Gulf, of the Lakes. Of the East, and
OF California have been ordered to
hold the forces under their commands
in readiness for concentration on the
Mexican border.
Much has been said about the in
fiuence Of the regular army upon the
national guard under the reorganiza-
ton Of the militia conforming it to
army standards, but there is one par
ticular in which the national guard
may be expected to have a decided eff
feet upon the army, and that is in the
changes in uniform. Now that the
guard patterns so closely after the
army, n change in the essential fea-
lures of the uniform of the regulars
must bring about a corresponding
change in the attire Of the citizen sol
diers. entailing additional expense
upon the individual or the state. as
the case may be. Hence there Is a
further reason why changes in the uni
form should be made as infrequently
as possible. 1t may be added that
some Of the national guardmen are
thoroughly Disguised with the recent
changes which have been made.
