Shreveport Times: The American
Congress, for two session at least,
has gained the reputation Of fritter
ing away valuable time and appro-
priating the peoples millions with
greater facility and to less purpose
than any deliberatiye Legislative body
10 the known world. From these
two causes the people have suffered
hardships, agony, disappointment
and been oppressed with grevious
public debt, that could have been
and should have been avoided. The
financial question could have been
settled and Congress is responsible
for the failure to the tune of untold
millions, which this has cost the peo-
pie.
AuJOufn-and 60 nome, IS Inc
good advice the New York Herald
gave Congress in column article in
last Thursdays issue. In the con-
Guiding paragraph it says:
''And since Congress does nothing
but add to the universal unrest, since
no hope remains of benefcent legis-
lation, let it close its barren sessions
and seek the stump and the barba-
cue It can add no more welcome
contribution to the hopes of peace
abroad and prosperity at home"

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, effecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in fact the great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precede catarrh, causing an excessive flow of mucous, and if the mucous discharge becomes interrupted the disagreable results of catarrh will follow. such as bad breath, severe pain across forehead and about the eyes. roaring and buZzing sound in the ears and oftentimes very offen- sive discharge.
