The Fact that Doctors

frequently advise change of air and
climate to those suffering from catarrh
is proof that catarrh is local and
climatic disease. Therefore, unless
you can leave home and business, you
should use Ely's Cream Balm. Ap-
piled directly to the seat Of the dis
ease, it effects instant relief and a
satisfactory cure after short contnu-
aHee. No mercury nor injurious drug
is contained in the Balm.

and hands it back to the division officer,
who in turn forwards it to the national
headquarters.
Officers may not marry without
years separation from their chosen life
partners, and if the two favorites in
terested both live in the same town the
higher officer either refuses them per-
mission to become engaged or requires
one of the young people to go to another
city. This is done to prevent the time
absorbing diversion of courting among
the officers, when they should be attend
ing to business. Engagements, as well,
must last one year before the command
er will give his sanction to a marriage.
Ample time is given for the affections
to nicely cool, if they be tickle, or, if it
be strong. true love, to grow more ar
dent than ever.
In case where an officer, male or fe-
male. wishes to become engaged to an
ordinary soldier-for rank in the Saliva
ton Army Is not caste-the same rule
of separation is observed, but the pri-
vate must rise from the ranks before the
marriage will be sanctioned. This pro.
vision is made that there may be extraor-
binary efforts made by the private in
doing good work-and love will find q
way--for thus the marriage will reflect
honor upon the army.
If an officer should happen, as is
sometimes the case, to fall in love with
one outside the army, and this one re-
fuses to join, then he must cease to be
an officer and return to the ranks. dis
honored. One of the precautions against
courting among the offers is to place
man and wife or two men and their

1t was noted in these columns last
week that Mrs. Benz Sparrow of the
North village had gone to Boston for
a surgical operation. Dr.. Millington
received telegram yesterday after
noon stating that the operation was
hopeless. Later Mr.. Sparrow, who
on account of illness was unable to
go with his wife, received a telegram
to the effect that the operation was
completely hopeless and asking him
to come Immediately. He took the
midnight train at Chester. Mrs.
Sparrow was afflicted with an abdomi-
nal tumor that probably embraced in
its field the bladder and womb.

Ag.nt succeeaea in solling.

Yankee hustle has perhaps never
been better exemplified than in the
case of a sewing machine agent who is
exploiting the vicinity of Dover, Me.
A week ago he tackled house in which
lived an old bachelor who hadn't a
sewing machine. The agent was per-
sistent and the bachelor obdurate, until
finally the latter said he positively
wouldn't buy machine unless wom'
an to run it was also provided. Then
the agent hunted around, and in six
weeks had found AN elderly but excel

ing for some good man to speak out to
her, and actually succeeded in getting
her married to the bachelor. Then he
made sale Of machine, though it
might seem that he ought to have given
one to the bride as present. This
story is vouched for by the Maine pa

COURTSHIP MADE HARD.
Rules Governing Love Affairs In
the Salvation Army.
)nicers Are Frowned Upon for Indulgence
In Sentiment, and lronclad Rules
Govern Betrothal and Marriage
Rings Not In Vogue.

Marriages of officers in the Salvation
time, and perhaps it is because of the
laws which govern that body. The new
field book, lately issued, lays down laws
to govern the affections of individuals
in the army as II hearts were machines,
and Cupids pranks could be regulated
with a word. The question of how the
parents of the individuals feel about
the matter is not taken at all into con-
eideration, and very little thought is
given TO the feelings of the lovers them
selves, so far as the discipline of the
army members is concerned.
The section of the rules and regu.
lations of the Salvation Army relating
to love, courtship and marriage among
the field officers is not generally known.
Such strict regulations toward the lit
tie god with the bow and darts exist in
this body that it would be little wonder
if but u small amount of romantic feel
ing entered into the matter of being en-
gagged and married.
1t is only to the officers of the army,
however, says the Phlladelphla Press,
that these rules apply; the rank and
file may make love and marry as they
see fit, provided they limit the number
of their marriages to one. If the sus-
ceptible heart of male officer becomes
stirred with the tender passion of love,
and he ardently desires to become one
with the fair lady of his affection, he
does not drop ut once on the left knee
and ask her to allow her soul to join
with his, nor does he then slip on the
engagement ring while she prettily
bushes. Neither does he timidly ap-
proach him whom he fain would call
father, declaring that life without
"her" is Of no account at all.
No; he goes to the division office and
briskly asks for printed engagement
application blank. He fills this out,
stating all he knows about the fair one,
