Since the new seating arrangement
in the high school chapel, some Sc
niors, who have been forced to sit in
the balcony and other places, instead
of in front of the stage, must find some
way of showing the appreciation"
they feel regarding the new plan. A
few seniors decided on the following
plan mo hama clapping following ex-
ercises"
Some freshmen, who have been as
signed some of the best seats, by
reason of the name they bear, were
against the plan, but decided to fol-
low the seniors when threats Of vio-
lence were made.

COLD In
THE HEAD
Is the First Chapter In The History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head Is the first chap.
ter in the history Of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of 1t.
A cold In the head is rarely severe
enough to confine vigorous person
to the house. As rule, It ends In
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people TO regard cold
In the head as OF no importance. 1t is
a terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold In the head as trivial mat
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that few doses is sufficient to. re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better 1t Is to treat cold in this
way than 1t Is to allow 1t to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold In the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head Is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head Is in reality a
case OF acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called so, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end In chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruria, perhaps 80 per
cent. of cases Of cold In the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespOOnful of Peruna should he
taken at the very first symptom Of
cold in the head Usually where tho
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
Of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. It may be neces-
sary, however, where the. attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take tablespoonful Of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
teaspoonful every hour.
