It ofteu causes headache and dizzi ness, impairs the taste, smell and bearing, and affects the voice. Being a constitutional disease it re quires a constitutional remedy.

AiB CO, Lowell, Mad. 1 S j HUMOR OF A REVOLUTION. Colombian General Needed Milk to (screw His Courage tn Fighting Point. The latest hevolution In Colombia had many farcical features. One of the funniest of these was the incident of the general who would not fight without his milk. General Perez was In command' of the government troops at Call. One day news arrived that the liberals had captured a neighbor ing town. Perez was ordered to start with his army at 7 o'clock next morn ing to attack them. He went to the barracks, made a patriotic speech to the soldiers and told them to parade at the appointed hour. Then he sauntered into the Hotel America, Cali's finest restaurant, and ordered coffee for 6:30 in the morning. The troops were lined up at that hour outside the hotel and the general strutted to and fro, waiting for his coffee and telling everbody what terri ble things he was going to do to the enemy. But a complication arose. Perez had not been general long, but he wanted milk in his coffee, whereas nine Colombians out of ten are content with black coffee. There was no milk. The cows are kept three or four hours' journey out of town, and, of course, milk cannot be kept over night in-that tropical climate. The hotel folk figured that the milk could not arrive before 11 o'clock. The general fumed and frottod. Some of his officers suggested that he had better start without the milk or the would escape, but he said it was impossible to fight on black coffee. He sent a soldier post haste to fetch the milk and then another after him to hurry him up. Meanwhile the army stood In the broiling sun for hours, awaiting the order to march. It was nearly noon when the messengers re turned. "No milk," they reported. "Caramba! Then I won't march till tomorrow." And the general dismissed his men and would not go until the next morn ing after his cafe au lit Of course, when he reached his destination the liberals had flown and he was deprived of his glorious victory by a miserable spoonful of milk. AN AMERICAN WOMAN. Inspired the Flarht fop a Protectee Tariff in Great Britain. One of the muost powerful women In the political life of Great Britain Is Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, wife of the ex-Colonlal Secretary and a daughter of the late W. C. Kndlcott. of Salem, MRS. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. Mass. Mrs. Chamberlain Is a strong believer In the American policy of pro tection and those on the Inside say that she had a determining Influence upon her husband, when he resigned from the cabinet of Lord Balfour and took up the fight as a private citizen for a protective tariff for Great Brit ain. Her Influence over her husband is unbounded and the easiest and safest way to reach the noted British states man is through his still handsome wife. Since taking up her residence In En gland she has made a study of British politics and Is more thoroughly grounded In them than many men who hold positions in official life. She Is the political adviser of her husband and thus indirectly wields a tremend ous power. Escaped Puntnhment A Philadelphia schoolmistress was giving her pupils instruction In the elements of physiology, and among other things told them that whenever they moved an arm or leg it was In response to a message from the brain. ! "The brain always sends a message to your arm or your leg whenever you wish to move that particular member," she explained. At last a mlschevlous boy aroused her anger by his apparent Inattention to the lesson. "Hold out your hand!" she ex claimed. The boy did not move. "Why don't you hold out your hand 7" said the teacher. "I'm waiting for the message from my brain," said the lad. Will Save Time.

There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoon full of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely pro tect a person from catching cold. Now, if this is true (and there is no doubt of it), thousands of lives would be saved, and tens of thousands of cases of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple precaution within reach of ev ery one. After a cold has been contracted a tearpoonfull of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has be come established, or the first stages of chronic bronchitis or consumption have been reached, it will take much longer to encet a cure. - . It seems strange that as well known and well established as these facts are any one should neglect to profit by mem, ana yet no aoubt there are many who pay little or no attention to them FREE PE-RU-NA ALMANAC. r.
