A Cold In the Head or Throat Is Almost
Certain to Develop Into Catarrh
It Neglected.
CATARRH usually begins as a cold In
the hoad or throat and Is neglected
until It becomes chronic; then it be
gins to duwu on the victim that he has
catarrh. Unions he Is very foolish, Indeed,
he will not rest easy until the catarrh la
entirely cured. Thousands pay no atten
tion to It until it Is too late.
If Peruna Is used the cold never be
comes chronic, and hence catarrh Is pre
vented. Rut after catarrh has become
thoroughly established, Peruna will cure it,
but it will taKe much longer.
Men and women of national reputation,
as well as thousands In the humbler walks
of life, publicly endorse Peruna. Peruna
does all that is claimed for It. It cures
catarrh.

the board aa to how to get at this matter.
8. It. Hlghlcyman of the Missouri Pacific
railroad announced himself In favor of
taxing franchises and at the same time
said the law should be such that business
men who make money should be taxed on
their right to do business. He built up
straw men to show how the value of a
franchise could be found and then tore
them down, leaving sufficient reasons why
the board should not taks this matter Into
consideration lu arriving at the value of a
railroad.
The different systems have returned their
net and gross earnings upon the entire
system, but did not return what etch
branch line that makes up the system has

it wants one, to get out of taking Into
consideration the earning powor of the

QUE
THE FIRST STAQB OP CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thousands
are flaking. .
THE first stage of catarrh is what Is
commonly known as "catching cold."
It muy be in the head, nose, throat
or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so
severe as to cause a chill and considerable
fever, or it may be so slight as to not
hinder a person from his usual business.
In perhaps a majority of cases little of no
attention la paid to the first stage of ca
tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half
of the people have chronic catarrh in loiau
form.
To neglect a cold Is to invite chronic
catarrh. As soon as anyone discovers the
tirst symptoms of catching cold he should
at once begin the use of Peruna accord
ing to directions on the bottle, and the
cold Is sure to paes away without leaving
any bad effects.
Unless this Is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
tarrh, which Is making so many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough, chronic
catarrh yould be practically an unknown
disease.
MISS LORETTA WALL, 850 N. Dale
St.. St. Paul, Minn., writes: "Lost
spring I had a very severe case of
catarrh of the stomach and bowels. I
took three bottles of Peruna and found
myself gaining very quickly In every way."
-Miss Loretta Wall.

It will take very little to change the com

Frank Zehrung. manager of the Oliver

theatrical In Lincoln, did not sell stand
ing room last night to parties desiring to
hear Richard Mansfield, as has been the
custom here, for the .reason that a city
official stood at the ticket office window
and Inspired the selling clerk to refuse the
many requests for standing room. And
this after It had been advertised that
standing room could be secured at so much
per stand.
D.-puty Labor Commissioner Bush pro
tested to the city building Inspector, Mr.
Campen, and the latter did the rest. He
served notice on Zehrung that to block up
the rear of the theater with people stand
ing around was against the public safety
and would not be tolerated. The result
was a large number of people were dis
appointed and Mr. Zehrung was out a
large number of shekels.
Gaards Ready for Practice.

Rallas; oa Tsary,
A ruling of great Importance to money
loaners aa well as borrowers was made by
the supreme court today in the case of
Allen against Dunn, from Garfield county.
It Is, in brief, that the taking of Interest
for more than one year in advance Is un
authorised by law, if by such action mors
than 10 per cent la received on the actual
sum loaned. There la a statute In Ne
braska which says: "Any rste of Interest
agreed upon, not exceeding 10 per year
upon 1100 shall be valid upon any loan or
forebesrance of money, goods or things in

may be taken yearly or for any shorter
period, or In advance, If so exprossly
agreed."
It Is further provided that If a greater
rate of Interest than Is hereinbefore al
lowed shall be contracted for or received,
the contract shall not be void, but the
luanr can, If proof Is shown of illegal in
terest, recover only the principal, the
loss of luternt being the penalty for ex
uding usury.
Under the rulings of courts heretofore
It lias been possible for the men to exaot
usury and yet avoid the penally. For
instance, a man may apply for $1,000 for
five years, but takes his 10 per cent In
terest out In advance. In effect he loans
the man IjtiO actual cash and holds a
contract upon which he may collect tl.OOj
at the end of live yeara. Actually he col
lects Interest at the rate of per cent
a year. Such loans have not been unusual.
If the supreme court opinion is what It
seems to be the payment of Interest
thereon can be voided.
Attorneys have protested against this
holding, but the courts have pointed to
the statute quoted as permitting the tak
ing of 10 per cent "In advance." The su
preme court, In this opinion, says that
"it Is quite clear that under the statute
the taking of Interest for more than one
year In advance U unauthorized. If by
such action more than 10 per cent Is re
ceived." In the syllabus of the case it
restates this position and declares that
the taking of the interest Is unlawful.
In the case In question a loan of SOuO
was made at per cent Interest. The note
that was signed, however, called for the
payment of tiSO, and the effect of It was
that the borrower paid W.S0 Interest more
than 10 per cent. The court says that
the statute did not authoilze this nd
that the taking of the Interact in advance
in excess of 10 lr cent constituted usury
and prevents recovery suve for the prin
cipal. The answer i held to properly
plead usury.

Is Generally the Result of a Neglected
Cold Pe-ru-na Cures Coughs,
Colds and Catarrh,
CATARRH of the lungs is, ordinarily,
known as consumption; also called
tuberculosis. In those cases the ca
tarrh has usually found Its way into the
lungs by the gradual extension of the dis
ease from the throat through the bron
chial tubes. Consumption is the natural
termination of all cases of neglected
chronic catarrh. Everyone who is af
flicted with chronic catarrh Is liable to be
attacked by consumption at any time. In
the first stages of the disease Peruna Is
a sure cure; in the later stages of the
disease Peruna can be relied upon to pro
duce great benefit, and in a large per cent
of '.ases produces a permanent cure. All
those afflicted with this dread disease
should begin at once treatment with Peruna.
A slight cough, which, without a vestige
of doubt, would soon disappear with the
use of Peruna, because chronic bronchitis,
which requires a persistent use of Peruna
for some time. There are a great many
cases of consumption every year due di
rectly to a neglect of coughs, colds, etc.,
which, If Peruna had been kept in the
house and used according to directions,
would have been prevented.
MRS. L. E. CLAUDER, 68 North Elev
enth street, Newark, N. J., writes:
"Peruna has done for me what much
medicine of various kinds did not teem to
touch. I shall keep it on hand and when
ever I take a cold, as one frequently does,
I will use it. I am In all respects now
