CATARRH soon destroys the elasticity
of the mucous membrane, produc
ing a flabby condition. This leads
to watery secretions, sometimes thickened
mucus, ,and constitutes altogether a very
disagreeable condition.
It makes no difference whetier the
catarrh Is confined to the nose, head or
throat, or whether It Is located In the
lungs, stomach or bowels. The essential
condition Is the samo.
Anything that tones up the system tends
to the relief of the catarrh.
Anything that purifies the aystem helps
to clear away the poisonous secretions
from the body.
Peruna, haa a world-wide reputation as
a catarrh remedy.
We hav many testimonials from sll
parts of the country and from all walks
of Mfe. attesting to the benefit of Peruna
in catarrhal diseases.

A large party of officials of the Union

It Is said by the packing house officials that
the visit was purely for personal cbservs -

tertalned by Swift and Company, and the
members expressed themselves warmly
grateful and well pleased with the clean
appearance and thrifty conditions of the ,
plant. They were especially Interested In

Seseloa Over the
Matter.
The charges against A. J. Donahue of the
Central Labor union, which were filed by
A. F. Hanson before the meeting of the
Central Labor union Friday night In the
Labor temple, will be Investigated by the
following committee of five: John Pollan,
Hans G. Ellis, R. J. Wangburg. o. J. Cross
snd C. F. Mlchselson, which names were
drawn from s ballot box containing the
names of all the delegates present. The
chars-es accuse Donahue of conduct unbe
coming a member of the Central Labor
union," In declaiming In open meeting that
Hanson was the author of a letter written
The Bee prior to tho last republican pri
maries, containing the statement that Don
ahue was a professional labor union man,
which Hanson denied, hence the charges.
The trial committee will report at the next
meeting of the central body, November 29.
Previous to the selection of the committee,
the meeting was addressed by William
Strauss, business agent of the Clgarmakers'
union of the district of New York, who ts
visiting all the large cities of the country
in the Interests of the Clgarmakers' union.
Strauss made a strong plea, calling upon
the union men to demand union-made cigars
and other articles. In explanation of his
request, he told of the prevailing unfavor
able conditions existing In the factories of
the Tobacco- trust, where child and woman
labor la employed. He also told of the
large sums spent by his union In combating
the tobacco corporation and the agitation
of the child labor question.
After considerable discussion among the
members of the central body, the sheet
metal workers finally succeeded In present
ing It with thirty-three shares of the Labor
Temple association stock, which is to be
distributed pro rata among the other mem
bers of the Central Labor union.
A communication from the local Teleg
raphers' union showed that the donations
received by that bdy from other labor
unions for the week ending November 7 was
178.50.
A committee was appointed to arrango
for a series of pictures to be given In a
local electric theater to show the existing
conditions In the sweat shops of the east.
The press committee of the Central Labor
union was authorised to deny the allegation
made in a recently published letter, that
there were two factions In the body.

MUSIC NOT 0JVLY ATTRACTION
Dncheea of Marlbomnarh Attends
Opera with Mr. nnd Mrs.
Clarence Marker.
When the curtain arose at the Manhat
tan Opera house last Monday night, there
was not an empty seat and but few unoo
cupled boxes. These were soon filled by
the late comers.-
Unheralded the duchess of Marlborough
arrived after the first act, with Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay. The occupants
of the -nearby boxes soon became aware
of her presence, snd many opera glasses
were levelled In her direction.
The duchess wore a princess gown of
black velvet spangled with Jet. and made
a bit suggestive of empire style. The up
per rart of the bodice was of ecru lacs,
and three broad bands composed of Inter
lacing clreles of diamonds fsstened the
empire skirt snd waist together, passing
over the shoulders like bretelles.
There were no tiaras. The duchess'
only hair ornament was a low comb of
diamonds at the back of her head.
Mrs. Mackay'a gown was of mandarin
bluo silk, covered with old Italian filet
lace. The bodice hod a band of silver
lace across the front of the decondetage,
and the short elbow sleeves, loose, like
those of the duchess, were also made of
silver lace. Mrs. Mackay wore an enor
mous bodice ornament of diamonds above
her belt, aet with a big "cabuchon"
sapphire In the center. Around her neck
was a long chain studded with dia
monds. Mrs. Mackay also wore a low
diamond oorab.

"An indestructible three-story cement
dwelling can be built In twelve hours at a
cost of $1,000," was the most Important of
several statements made by Thomaa A.
Edison in his laboratory at Orange, N. J.,
In the presence of a delegation of 300 mem
hers of the Electro-Chemical society, which
held Its annual convention in that city last
week.
Mr. Edison was unusually talkative and
affable. Taking some of the delegation to
the second story of the laboratory, he
showed them the model of a Queen Anne
cot t ace and said:
"Next spring I intend to build a house by
this model. By means of a system of pat
ent moulds, It Is possible for any contractor
to build a house of solid cement, twenty
five feet wide and forty-five feet deep,
three stories high and capable of comfort
ably housing three families, for SLCW.
Three families in a house built on this
model will give each family lots of room.
Moulds for the New House.
"The most Important feature of the pat
ent lies In the moulds, which are of Iron,
but the material for the house Is to be
composed almost wholly of a new compo
sition of mine, consisting of one part of
cement, three parts of sand and Ave parts
of quarter-inch crushed stone. Ths only
part of the house not built of cement will
be a strip of wood around the ends of the
floors on which to tack down carpet.
"A house like this will abolish Insurance
forever.
"By pouring the cement into the moulds,
beginning, of course, at the top, until the
whole mixture overflows the edifice, It will
be possible to b'ulld the house In twelve
hours, and In six days more it wilt- have
settled and hardened so as to be absolutely
Indestructible.
"I have built the model of this house on
the basis of a laborer-owner getting 31.(0
per day. The moulding rrms are of cast
Iron, and for 11.0(4 the entire house can le
built. This to Include heating pipes, stair
cases of cement, Poors and mantels of ce
ment, and a cement roof that won't leak.
Plumbing and even bath tubs will be of
cement.
"The durability of the house Is unques
tionable. It will last forever. Even ch'l
dren rray go around with axes and chop
as long as they like without doing any ma
terial harm.
"Therefore there will be no recessl(y for
repairs. Even the window sashes will be
of cement. Aside from the narrow strip
of wood Intended for the holding of carpt
tarks the only wooden thing about the
house Is the front stoop. I have given It a
wocden stoop to make It more bemtlful
I have been In consultation with New York
architects on the subject of the wooden
stoop and I think It possible to omit that
material In the stoop construction. It will
cost a contractor 3JO.0OO to get the moulds
with which to build the house, but then
he will be able to bu'ld over 30,000 houses
with the one set of moulds.
"The moulds can te tsken down In s
few hours sftei- the house has been fln'shed
and they may be carted to any part of the
world In less space than Is rer-ulred for
shipping an ordinary derrick. That's what
will appeal strongly to commercial econ
omy. In selling contractors the Iron cast
ings I shall restrict them In the use of
cerrent that will have no ilr bulbs. The
cement will be poured Into the moulds
until It flows over at the top. Then the
house Is practically finished. I won't sell
tho moulds to any who do not satisfy me
of the quality of their concrete formula.
In thp great San Francisco disaster the
houses which withstood the earthquakes
were built of cement."

ing the question called out to the visitor:
"Hello, George! Have you got any more

said:
Storsnge Battery for Traeke.
"I don't mind telling you that I have at
last succeeded In getting ths storage bat
tery proposition to a condition In which It
Is 'of economlo value. I am turning out
300 storage bstterles a Week for trucks.
This after a three years' test. I realised
that If I made a battery capable of doing
only 12.W0 miles when a new plate became
necessary It would do no more than the
horse waa able to do. I decided that If
the battery was able to accomplish B0,0
miles without a new plate tho horse was
dead. The horse Is dead. Next December
I expect to begin supplying storage bat
teries to trucks, and then It will be cheap
enough for even a Tenth avenue butcher
td purchase it
"I have succeeded In perfecting a BO.OOO
mlle battery. It will be able to take twice
the load of the ordinary truck, will have
twice the speed and take up half the space.
In a word It will be right times as useful
aa the horse and wagon. In December,
when we will begin to deliver these bat
teries, the horse of Manhattan will dis
appear forever."

sage from W. W. Bradfleld of the Marconi J
w..,..,, wring ii i me new across-tne-ocean
wireless system waa working at the
rate of twelve words a minute. Mr. Edi
son's comment on this wss:
Thousand Words a Mlnnte.
"Give Marconi ten years and he will be
sending 1,000 words a minute by wireless.
He won't need any duplex system to do It
either. Marconi Is ths msn. At present he
cant make It as great from an economic
standpoint as is the submarine cable be
cause there Is sn absorption of electric
waves In cable that we don't get In the air.
There la no reason why the wireless can't
do as well as the telegraph. Once I senl
8,000 words a minute between New Yorh
and Philadelphia by means ot a sending
machine, and I can do it now. It Is true
that this record was cut down to 1,000
words from Washington to New York and
forty words a minute from Charleston to
New York, nt then either is instantan
eous, and Marconi la a star."
"Are you working on wireless?"
"No. I don't tread on Marconi's toes,
rie Is a star performer. He will master
the atmospheric conditions between Lon
don and New York In a few years; and,
furthermore, he will be able to prevent
by legal suit any other company butting
io anywhere about his stations. Common
law gives him the right."

SOCIAL VALUE OF A HOUSE
Is Frequently Greater Than Salary of
Its "Official" Occupant la
-'.'aoiliiatun.
Among the newcomers In ths ofTlclal
circle at Washington, this winter, will be
bo Senator Guggenheim of Colorado, and
Mrs. Guggenheim. The announcement that
they have leased the house of Mrs. Mumv
in Scott circle, Is equivalent to a reply to
that always Interesting query with regard
to newcomers what part will they take
In the, season's festivities?
The price Senator Guggenheim Is paying
for the Munn house, 315,000 a year, taken
In comparison with his salary aa a senator
of the Trilled States, recalls the house
hunting day at the capital of J4r. Paul
Morton. When Mr. Morton finally selected
the Quay house, In K street, at a rental of
$7,000 per annum, his colleagues In the cabi
net twitted him as to what d eposition he
proposed making of the remaining 31,000 of
his salary.
FRESH AIR IN SLEEPING ROOM
Window Should Always Be Open,
No Mnttpr Hold Cold
the Wrnther.
Even though cold weather is coming,
keep the windows open. Impure air end
darkened rooms sre often the cause of
poor health. One feels much better In a
clear atmosphere with the sun shining
brightly. .Keep the window In the sleep
ing apartment open enough to give suffi
cient fresh air. Even though the room Is
unheated snd cold, tho window should be
open Just the same. A sleeper will soon
breathe up all the fresh air, and if there
Is not a constant supply of oxygen, he
simply breathes over snd over again the
poison thrown off by the lungs. Every
morning the bedclothes should have a thor
ough airing In the sun. Plenty of covering:
Is necessary, but It should be light In
weight. There Is comparatively little
warmth In heavy home made comfortables.
Especially after they have been washed
once or twice.
