Hon. laps. d. mccorp, is25 q st.,
Washington, D. C., Ex-Adjutant
General State of Tennessee, and State’s
Attorney at Nashville, Is an ardent
friend of Peruna. He does not hesitate
to give public endorsement to this very
excellent remedy.
As a tonic Peruna has no superior.
Put it Is as a catarrh remedy it has
achieved its world-wide notoriety and
success. *
Any catarrh remedy to become per
manently effectual in the cure of ca
tarrh must contain tonic and invigorat
ing qualities with its anti-catarrhal
qualities. Catarrh Is always an expres
sion of nerve weakness, either local
or general. It is, therefore, important
that a catarrh remedy should possess
reliable invigorating qualities in order
to thoroughly rid the system of catarrh.

cure for colds and catarrhal com
plaints. R. S. Ryan.
IMPROVEMENT CLUBS
The organization of a neighborhood
improvement club woulabe a boon to
many communities. Men, no matter
how busy they may be, will always
line! time to go where they wish to go.
and if the clubs were well conducted,
with entertainments to sustain the in
terest and encourge attendance, a
rivalry as to the results might be culti
vated, and even prizes offered for the
neatest-kept home grounds. Very few
will la* so busy, even at the busiest
time of the year, that they cannot
spare a few hours once or twice a
month, to meet together and discuss
questions concerning the betterment of
the home life, while such gatherings
would be a relief for the women tied
down to the routine of housework.—
