Subacute nasal catarrh. Or we
might call it incipient nasal catarrh.
Or, still better, nasal catarrh just be-
ginning and becoming chronic.
Now is the time to take Peruna.
A little Peruna will do wonders at
this stage of the disease. Snuff a lit
tie we9k salt water every morning
(see Ills of Life" sent free by Pc
runa Co, Columbus, Ohio), just
enough TO ar out the nose. Take
a dose of Peruna before breakfast.
Hold 1t in the mouth. Let it tricllle
down slowly and breathe the fumes
Of 1t out through the nose as you
swallow il.
This will stop an incipient case Of
nasal catarrh in a few weeks. Stop
it entirely. The nose becomes clear
again. The breath is sweet. The
breathing free. No more snoring, or
snufliing. or smiling. or catching
cold easily. All Of these things are
in the past.
An army Of men and women have
been benefited by Peruna. You might
as well become one Of the benefited
ones as to allow 1t to go on any
further.

Still at Armageddon

No appeal to party spirit and
party prejudice can be made ef-
fectual in driving that element of
the Tennessee Democracy, bent
upon an honest administration,
back to the ranks of the Regulars
if that appeal is not accomplished
by an unequivocal statement that
the party, when united, is to have
a better excuse for its existence
than merely the spoils of office.
The hard-fisted yeomanry and
taxpayers of the country are tired
of political tyranny and misrule;
they bear the burdens of govern
ment and are entitled to its bene-
fits, and unless the Regular red
dragon Democracy Of Tennessee
can square itself to their needs
and put itself in a position to COM
bat the evils against which they
have declared war, they viii stand
just where they have stood for
the past four years-with the
party that represents and stands
for good government.
There is not the remotest prob
ability that the men who have
upheld lawlessness of the most
flagitious character for four years
will now suddenly become good,
and therefore there is no logical
ground for the belief that the
Democratic party will face its old
enemy this year without a break
in its ranks. The fusionists are
still at Armageddon, battling for
the right.-Rogersville Star.

Oscar McMahan's announce
ment for representative aroused
the wrath of a certain element.
When such a fuss is made over a
mere announcement for an office
of this kind, it shows that the one
making the announcement has
gained some ones enmity and
enmity gained is usually to the
credit of the one who gained it. 1t
is generally recognized that Nc

Three Years Governor

A casual review of Gov. Hoop
er's three years as Governor
brings to mind many reforms that
he has accomplished which no
Democratic Governor can claim.
He has used the pardoning
power with discretion and judg-
ment and vitalized a forgotten
statute providing for the reforma-,
ton of prisoners by parole.
He has transformed the depart
ment of Agriculture from a politi-
cal sinecure into an efficient
agency for the help of the agricul-
tural interests of the state.
He has given the state bust
ness-like, practical department of
education which has done more
to advance the interests of the
public schools than any previous
administration.
He has fostered reforms in the
state militia that have brought
about wedding out of the dead
heads and put the National Guard
on real military footing.
He has given close attention to
the management of the state
prison and all other public institu-
tons.
He has used his influence for
the economical administration of
the business of the state through
the different departments.
For these things he deserves
the commentator of the people.
Having a Republican Governor
hasn't ruined the state and it
hasn't changed the views of a
single Democrat on national ques-
tons.
Gov. Hooper has not made a
successful chief executive because
he is a Republican, but because he
is a high-minded, capable, honest
man.
There are Democrats in Tennes-
see who would be as successful in
the Governors chair as Ben Hoop
er has been.
1t depends on the man who is
Governor as much as on the party
that put him in office whether the
administration is a good one.
Being a Democrat doesn't
make a man perfect, nor does
utilization with the Republican
party remove all flaws.
If the Democrats will nominate
a man of Ben Hooper's type for
Governor, Ben Hooper will not be
elected to a third term. Other.
wise, the Republican candidate
will win again.-Jackson Sun.
