Peruna helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Pe-una benefits even the
worst cases OF old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases Of nasal ca
tarrh not so evident One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril Is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze- Mucus in the nose too thick
Sometimes forms brownish Jumps
Catch cold easily. Never quite free
Of cold. These symptoms describe
a case OF subacufe nasal eatarrh.
Many people have II. and some who
would not admit they have nasal ca
tarrh.
He knows he must blow his nose
freely. He remembers that he does
not breathe easily through the nose.

To the People Of Mississippi:
The best lawyers always attend
their conventions. The bestbank-
ers always attend their conven-
tions. The best preachers all
ways attend their conventions, sy-
mods, associations and conferen-
ces. The best farmers always go
to their institutes and rally days.
See to it that your teachers
have an opportunity to attend
the next great meeting Of the
Teachers Association in jackson
on April 30 to May End.
People do not 60 to these pla-
ces merely for pleasure. They
do get pleasure from them, but
our teachers, as a rule, now at
tend these meetings because they
have a serious interest in learn
ing what other people learn and
do in educational work. They
know that they are better fitted
for their work by getting these
new ideas from men and women
who come from other states and
discuss educational problems with
them.
DIR. Brumbaugh OF Philadel-
phia, an author and educator of
nationwide repute, will deliver
two magnificent addresses at this
meeting.

vestigator, specialist in Rural
Education, from the National
Bureau of Education, will deliver

Then the various standing
committees that have been al

The Department programs are
richer than ordinarily, ana there
is something to interest each anc

WILLIAMS GETS.oN vARDA.
MAN PLATFORM.

just the other day in the nit
ed States Senate. Senator John
Sharp Williams not only voted
for the repeal Of the fifteenth
amendment, the same being Sem
ator Vardaman's measure, but
made big speech IN which he
heartily endorsed the position of
oenator sardaman.
To read this speech you would
think Nardaman was the speak
er. How times have changed
We wonder what the haters OF
vardaman say now-their Idol,
John Sharp on the "band wagon
the Nardaman band wagon" il
you please.
We wonder again what object
ions now these same men have
howled about the negro ques.
uon," and that Vardaman wa.
wrong and unworthy of consider
alton, ETC., can have to Vardamar
now. As we have said all tht
time Vardaman was right; he ii
many years ahead of his time
and even Mr.. Williams has seer
the light and is voting right.
This being true, with the splen'
did record Senator Vardamar
has made. it now looks like he il
! in the senate for as long as h'
chooses. The trouble is, wha
will tee former howlers sgains
him have to say now? We vii
listen; they are mighty quiet.
