The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and con siderable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a major ity of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglict a cold is to invite chron ic catarrh. As soon as any xne dis covers the first symptoms of catching Dinner Table Oallantry.

Everybody in these Northwestern states knowB what good salmon is, but we don't believe you know jnst how much better one brand can be than another until yon have tried tfie Mono pole. Monopole salmon is the very finest red Columbia River fish canned in a cleanly manner. The salmon has a fine flavor and makes a fine addition to a meal. Falmon is well known to be a very nutritious article of diet. Get Monopole salmon from your grocer. Wadhams & Kerr Bros., packers, Portland, Ore. . Tough On Him.

She got into the ele vatah with me in the Skyscrape build ing one day and when she saw me she deliberately wemoved her hat held it in her hand until I got off.' and , Volcano A thin, vapory smoke, lazily ascending from its crater may be the only visible sign of life in the sleeping volcano, but within is a raging sea of fire, molten rock and sul phurous gases. Those who make their homes in the peaceful valleys below know the danger and, though frequently warned by the rumblings and quakings, these signs of impending eruption go unheeded. They are living in fancied security when the giant awakes with deafening roars and they are lost beneath, a downpour of heated rock and scaldinsr ashes. Thousands of blood poison sufferers ana are taxing aesperate cnances, xor ment the external symptoms of the disease disappear, and the deluded victim is happy in the belief of a complete cure, but the fires of conta gion have only been smothered in the system, and as soon as these min erals are left off will blaze up again. Occasional sores break out in the mouth, a red rash appears on the body, and these warning symptoms, if not heeded, are soon followed by fearful eruptions, sores, copper colored splotches, swollen glands, loss of hair and other sickening symptoms. Mercury and Potash not only fail to cure blood poison, but cause Mer curial Rheumatism, necrosis of the bones, offensive ulcers and inflamma tion of the Stomach and Bowels. The use of S. S.

Unless this i3 done the cold Is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Pe runa was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown ease. Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Bassett street, Albany, N. Y., writes: "I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme lia bility to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system which It would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PERU- . NA I do not have any reason to dread this anymore. If I have been at all exposed to the damp, wet or cold weather, I take a dose or two of PERUNA, and it throws out any hint of sickness from my system.' Miss Eliz abeth Uber. Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan ave nue.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to jearn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda tion of the disease, and Riving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Some Famous Dentists and Their Exner- ience With Tartars. A tooth may be a Tartar, cr may have tartar; in either case you are in a bad way. If yonr tooth is a Tartar, it will drive you to a dentist fast enough to play checkers on your coat tail. But if it has tartar it will take you more slowly but nevertheless surely, for from having tartar to being a Tartar is not such a long journey. And when you start you cuss that tooth at every jnmp.

Harper's Magazine. Boiled Rope, Seaweed, Haw Boots and - Barnacled Have Saved Livea. The hardest fare that six strong men and a boy of 15 ever kept alive on was the dally menu of the Windover's sur vivors, who were cast upon the Irish coast near Kllsegg a few weeks ago. They lived for sixteen days on stewed rope-yarn, without a crum of anything else to help digest it, except water; and, though It made them 111, they kept alive on it and did not waste away very much.' The Wlndover was a bark carrying salt between Spain and the States, with an English crew, and she was dismasted and abandoned about a thousand miles out on the Atlantic Three of the crew were killed by fall ing masts, and two others were wash ed overboard; but the other seven took to the whaleboat and set out for Brit ain. Being in too much of a hurry thev took too little food, but three large butts of water, besides the tank the boat already held. The result was they ate up the provisions In four days, but had water enough for a month, and, after starving two days more, they tried boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope Into a pulp and swallowing it They had a keg of paraffine wax. ' and, though' it made them very ill at first, they eventually contrived to live one day asking some children ques on the boiled hemp, the tar, boiled to a tions an Bible knowledge.

They landed- in a boat, which was smashed by a wave on their trying to relaunch her, and they were ieft on the bare, rocky isl and, which has only a slight scalp of coarse turf, without food, Fortunately there is a spring on the Island, but nothing in the way of food but gulls, which they could not catch, and noth ing to make a fire with as a distress signal. There are not even any shell fish, as there Is no beach, and the padr had to subsist for the ten days on cold, raw seaweed washed up by the tide. For two days they starved, but after that they tackled the seaweed, making three meals a day off it, until rescued. When taken off they were a good deal ema ciated, but no ill effects resulted. The same thing happened off the same coast five years ago, when four fisher women were imprisoned on an inlet by the loss of their boat. They lived on "kelpie" grass for six days. A diet of boots is one of the common est of last-resource foods; and, though it is hard for a well-fed person to Imagine that any one could masticate and digest shoe leather, a pair of long seaboots will keep a man alive for a fortnight, if he has a little water.

You must nof think that turkeys first came from Turkey, for they are natives of America. Nor that Irish potatoes came from Ireland, for they are American. And the Turk ish bath originated In Russia. Nor must you think camel's hair brushes are made from the hair of the hump backed quadruped. They are mostly made of the bushy hair from the tails of animals! German silver not only is not silver, but it was Invented in China centuries ago, and it is an alloy of some of the inferior metals. Por poise hide is not made from porpoises at all. Cork legs are not made of cork, and they do not come from Cork. The willow tree usually furnishes ma terial for them. Cleopatra's Needle, thajt wonderful obelisk of Egypt, was made a thousand years before Cleo patra was born; and really had noth ing to do with her. Irish stew is an English dish.

Mrs. Fred Eberle, Bejlaire, O., was for a long time severely troubled with rheumatism. St. Jacobs On in stantly relieved and entirely cured her. Rev Dr. B. Pick, of Rochester, N.
