If You are Subject to Colds
This Editorial will Interest You.
A Great Minority of People Get One or More Colds Every
Season and It is of Vital Interest to All to Learn How to
Avoid and Believe Colds Quickly, Since Colds are Said to
be Contagions.
THE COST OF CADE
LESSNESS IS GREAT
Some people think colds are only caught through exposure. This in
Tttim is contradicted by the fact that Arctic explorers are peculiarly free
fhm odds It is more generally accepted that colds are the result of civilized
ttfct due to super-heated rooms and a very rapid change in temperature which
anises the nerve centers to be depressed, and still more largely due to con-
tagion—one member of a family imparting a cold to another by sneezing or
eoogbiag.
A odd means nothing if relieved quickly. That such a purpose may bo
aooomplished, a quick aid to a cold is an essential A remedy especially
ioviaed to relieve colds quickly is PERUNA.
PXRTJNA contains such ingredients that have an especially beneficial in-
fluence upon the inflamed mucous membranes and the quicker these mucous
membranes are given the benefit of a remedy like PEBUNA, the quicker the
relief and the less contagion.
A neglected cold may become a serious menace to one’s own life, and fiu
Worse, may endanger one’s family.
We insure our homes against fire, our lives against death. Why should
WO not insure ourselves against colds if possible by having a medicine in the
fkmily chest that can be used at once ?
PERTJNA is a reliable household remedy for colds and should be in every
home, for there should be a desire to combat a cold as quickly as possible.
This is enlightened hygiene.
People who are feeble and run down arc more subject to colds than per-
sons in normal health. Such persons need outdoor life and PERTJNA to help
build up a strong constitution. If you have a poor appetite that is often a
warning that you probably need a tonic like Peruna for Peruna aids the
digestive organs. When your appetite is fair and work and exercise do not
quickly tire you, your susceptibility to colds diminishes very much.
Persons who object to liquid medicines can now obtain PERUNA
TABLETS.

"I wish you would remind the

Postmaster Erwin, Thursday morn
in^, and as he made the request
Jlr. Erwin handed us a list of mail
matter that had been dropped in
the local nostoft’iee during the last
week, 'that for one reason or an-
other could not be delivered. ‘‘It
would surprise you,” said Mr.
Erwin, “at tin* amount of mail
we are compelled to send to the
dead letter office.*’
During the last week there has
been mailed at the local office
three letters without stamps and
no return address mi the letters
showing who mailed them. These
letters will l,e delivered, but as the
local office lias received no in
net ion under the how ruling
permitting tin* payment of post
age at the other end of

the parlies to whom the letters are
addressed, and wait for them to
send the postage. Two letters and
one nest card have been mailed
during the last week with name
but no address, and no return ad-
dress. Two letters and two post
cards have been mailed with no
address or ,-eturn name, and one
niee valentine remains in the
local office with iin add:css. Some
body’s sweet heart failed to get
their valentine, and t1’;* one that
I sent it no doubt thinks he has
