AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucous
into INV Throat.

"a severe cough is always a grave
| symptom. 1t may not indicate or
| ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate. the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas.
found after using Peruna that not
| only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years 7 was o.
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh l had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping of
mucus into my throat, which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved.
and my condition grew worse. I had
an 1ncessant cough and frequent at
lacks of bilious collie, from which it
seemed / could not recover. MY
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
Il tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. I at last tried Peruna, and In
three days was relieved Of the bowel
arrangement. After using five bottles
was entirely cured
Il most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"

cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

STAUNTON IS END
OF LONG TEST RUN

Staunton, Va, is the objective
point of the test run of the Falcon
cyclecar. which started from Cleveland
Monday. The Virginia city will be the
location Of the new Falcon plant, which
is now being equipped. The difficulties
of winter touring across the Alleghenies
in Pennsylvania anc the Blue Ridge
mountains of Virginia are making this
one Of the most severe trials ever given
a motor propelled vehicle.
The trip has beeo devised as con-
elusive answer to the critics of the
roada bility Of the cyclecar, a form of
automobile which promises to figure
largely in the motor vehicle industry
from now on.
In charge of the tour is Bryce L.
BIackley, assistant production manager
of the Falcon Company, and accom-
panying him is George +. Cox, of
Cleveland. The Falcon is designed by
F. r Hoyt, of Cleveland, who is wide ~
known in the automobile industry. The
new car employs a friction transmission
with a specially designed clutch. and
is driven by chain to a countershaft
aud rom the coun;crshaft to the rear
wheels by short wee belts"

according to latest reports, the Wash
ington public will be given its first op-
rcrtunity to inspect the new cycle car
at he annual automobile show which
opens in Convention Hall, January 10,
and continues one week. The cycle car
is growing one of the big sensations OF
the motor world, and it is expected sew
eral different makes will be exhibited
here during show week.
A committe representing the Washing
ton Automobile Dealers Association,
which is promoting the exhibition, will
leave early next week to inspect the ex-
hibits at the New York show and to
close negotiations for bringing some of
the popular exhibits, including those Of
cycle cars, to the Washington show. The

QUIT OTHERL|NES
TO SELL MOTORS

"A condition which is looked upon
favorably by the automobile manufac-
turers and affords a convincing proof of
the stability of the automobile business
as one of the big industries of the fu-
ture, is the large number of responsible
business and professional men who are
retiring from various other lines, such
as hardware. dry goods, doctors, etc, to
establish agencies, and enter the SELL
ing end of the automobile business"
said LIE Roy Pelletier, of the Maxwell
Motor Company.
This would seem to indicate" he
continued, that many business men
have at last realized that there Is no
line of business that insures better re-
turns or a more substantial future for
the same amount of effort"
Along this line c. F. Redden, sales
manager of the Maxwell Company. who
has just returned from an eight-week
trip around the country, says that the
1914 season will be the banner year OF
the industry. He travelled more than
$4,000 miles during his trip, and talked
with more than 1900 dealers, all of
whom seemed most enthusiastic over the
1914 outlook.

IN RACE PORTLAND
Two Men Speed Over Rough
Roads to File Claims For
Their Properties.

Side by side, two automobiles stood
waiting where the Kamloops wagon
road ends on the bank of the Barriere
river in British Columbia. Two chauf-
feurs stood a lew feet away, keeping a
close watch on the opposite shore. The
motors of both cars were idling silently.
Now and then one of the drivers would
return to his car to speed the motor or
test some part Of the running gear.
Against the opposite bank rested two
canoes, the Indian paddlers of which
also were in an attitude of expectancy
Suddenly the Indians sprang into mo-
ton. Both canoes were pushed or the
little beach. Along the leafy isle Of
the forest trail appeared a man spur

Borthwick rode with his chin on his
