THE breath Of chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he
becomes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked, and frequently de-
stroyed. A constant source of discom-
fort is the dripping Of the purulent
secretions into the throat, sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which
is usually the exciting cause of pulmo-
nary disease. TIL, brilliant results by
its use for years past properly designate
Ely's Cream Balm as by far the best
and only cure. Call upon your druggist
for it. )

The number of women who have
quoted Lady Macbeth's 'Out, damned
spot" are probably larger than one
would guess from the number that be-
long TO anti-slang and profanity socie-
ties. But to find her tailor-made cloth
gown daubed with grease, to see the
table cover stained n rosy red with
cranberry, and her finest handkerchief
splashed with ink are trials enough
to make the least radical of her sex
long for the masculine privilege of
swearing. Here are a few simple rules
which, IL pasted conspicuously in every
home, would tighten the labors and
griefs of women considerably:
To remove all ink stains from white
linen and cotton materials moisten the
stain, spread the fabric above n jug of
boiling water. and sprinkle with salts

pears and rinse. To remove ink from
colored dress goods soak in milk, rub
and press until the stain disappears.
Put fresh milk on as often as the old

the spot and press with hot iron. To
remove ink from carpets rub, while
wet, with blotting paper
To remove grease spots from books
or paper warm the creased spots gent
ly and then press on blotting paper
until as much as possible of the grease
is absorbed. Then warm the paper
again and apply hot oil of turpentine
with a soft, clean brush to both sides
of the paper. Then touch the soiled
part with n clean brush dipped in rec
titled spirits of wine. To remove grease
from linen put good deal of soda into
the washing water. To remove from
silk or wooden goods cover with soft
brown paper, pass a hot iron over IL,
lift the paper Immediately, and repeat
the process as often as necessary.
To remove paint spots rub with a
sponge dipped in benzine from the cir
conference of the spot toward the CEN

spread. Rub until dry.
To remove wine and fruit stains Gov

Tie readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh, being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation Of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution aud assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list OF tes-

EX-CONFEDERATE HOME.

MIS-MANAGEMENT TALES UNTRUE.
The "H HOrrors" Related to Republic
Reporter Absolutely without
the Least Foundation
Strongly Denied.

The St. Louis Republic, of last Sun
day, contained column concel n ng
the management of the Ex-Confederaie
Home ut IIigginsville. 1t seems that
two old soldiers, W. ii. Turner, who
was wounded in the fearful conflict at
this place, and w. ii. Porter, of Gates
regiment, had withdrawn from the
home, and, through the generosity of
their comrades-in-arms, had gone 10
st. Louis. Here they found the willing
ears of Republic reporter and told
their stale of woe" Turner was the
spokesman, and his story, summed up
by the Republic, is as follows:
1t appears from the story told by the
men, without any attempt al coloring
or exageration, that Superintendent
Thomas w. Cassell doesn't treat the
crippled Confederate veterans under
his charge with that consideration
which their age and services to the lost
cause merit, or that the charitable
people of Missouri intend when they
give so freely of their money. Cassell
is paid 81, 200 a year out of the total
expenditure of about S15, 900 necessary
for the proper maintenance of the
institution. He is also allowed good
house to live in and is furnished free of
cost all the necessaries and comforts
of life. But Turner says that the
superintendent is not only abusive IN
speech of the ninety-three pieces of
men now in the home, but is also pos
itively cruel in his treatment of them
otherwise. The superintendent, so
Turner says, allows the men no liberties
whatever, and provides them with the
cOmmonest food, such as coarse fat
bacon, hard tack, weak coffee, adulter-
ated milk, etc. Turner declares that
few weeks ago one of the unfortunate
veterans died in his own filth, for no
other reason than refusal to issue him
a change of clean underclothes or sheets
for his bed. Turner relates that when
he and some others called the superin.
tendent's attention to the necessity OF
providing the sick man with clear
clothes and bedding, he imperiousl!
moved them away with the remark:
