the retirement of Secretary Root. Ho

had accomplished. Especially had all
this been true of the secretary's work
during tho past six months when ho
had expended lavishly of his energy
and ability, without thought or credit
lo himself, but solely with tho idea at
advancing the interests of tho pres
ident, his successor and tho people of
the United States. In tho president's
Iributo to Secretary Root, the other
members of tho cabinet cordially

CATCHING COLD
la the Beginning of Most "Winter
Ailments Pe-ru-na Protects
Against and Cures Cold 3.
There is no fact of medical science
bettor established than that a teaspoon
fill of lVriina before, each meal during
tho winter season will absolutely pro
tect a person from catching cold. JNow,
if this is true (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would hu saved,
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within roach of
every one.
After a cold has-been contracted a
teaspoon fill of Peruna every hour will
shortly euro it, leaving- no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be
come established, or tho Urst stages of
chronic- bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to e licet n cure.
It seems stra n ire that as well known
and well established as these facts are

"1 had terriblo lioadaehes, both ears
