They show that the system is being weakened by a congestion of the breathing
apparatus. This congestion in the mucous membranes of the throat and
lungs decreases the supply of oxygen to the Wood gives off poisons that are
absorbed by the blood and taxes the other organs with increased work.
Then your body needs help. It needs to be toned up to do the extra woikv
The tonic used should also have a direct effect on those congested membranes.
PERUNA is That Tonic-
Its effect upon the membranes b to relievo the conges
tion banish the catarrhal symptoms invigorate the digestion
and circulation and thus enable the system to rid itself of
all the inflamed condition known as cold.
Because a cold is nothing less than acute catarrh and
because in addition to its tonic effects Peruna is a reliable
remedy for catarrh its use in colds and coughs is more effec-
tive than any other remedy yet offered HQs fact is amply
proved by the thousands who have found relief by the forty-
four years of success and by the rnany thousands of homes
that regard Peruna as the best family remedy.
You will understand why when you use it yourself.

SCHOOLS ARE ASSISTING IN
AMERICANIZING FOREIGNERS
Opportunity of Night School in This
Direotion Disoussed at Ses-
sion of N. . A.
progress was manifested by school heads
of countrywide origin. Houston's night
school system was the subject of many
interested queries.
The next meeting place of the conven-
tion will be at Kansas City.
The time for America to solidfy has
come at least that is the opinion of
school superintendents from Maine to Cal-
ifornia aftd from Washington to Florida
who have just met at Detroit.
Americanizing foreign citizens through
the schools and especially the night
schools formed the motif of the meeting
of the superintendence department of the
National Educational association during
the week according to Superintendent
Horn who returned to Houston Saturday.
Mr. Horn has long been an advocate of
this plan and has been working In con-
Junction with the naturalization bureau to
encourage the aliens to enter the night
schools and learn the English language
and American Ideals as well as to ac-
quaint themselves with social customs.
Hence schooling after business hours.
Fully 60 Texans attended the meeting
at Detroit. On one occasion a Texas din-
ner was enjoyed at which Mr. Horn was
asked to speak.
