There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years it was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
aud prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proved catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

In the course of the chaplain's open
ing prayer to the Senate Tuesday he
invoked: "Open the doors Of well re-
Quilted toll to the unemployed and
bring the long expected prosperity to
every household"
Prosperity cannot be restored by
prayer. The Creator is doing his
part we'll. Bountiful harvests and
freedom from war and pestilence are
blessings that have been vouchsafed
to the country, but the Vaccinations
and selfishness Of Dives have placed
cruel burdens upon the people and
driven prosperity from the land
The good chaplain should not lay the
crime at Gods door. Rather let him
pray the Almighty to change the
hearts of those who are grinding into
the earth an unhappy people.

to Pickett had tied the score Mcbride
tailed to connect for once. and the

a two-bagger after two men were out,
and 1t was tie with the innings even.
But for two innings the locals went
one, two, three, without reaching first,
and in that time the entire complexion
of the game was changed. P1cketts
base on balls, Cassidy's sacrifice to
Giasscock, Shugart's muff of Kuehne's
high fly, after a hard run, and BoyleS
grounder to Shugart forcing Kuehne
out, combined with the result that the
visitors made one more, run in the
lead. In the next inning. however, they
went at the Saints hammer and tongs,
and the locals went to pieces as If they
thought that was what they were paid
for. Three straight hits from the top
of the card, and the third homer, gave
the visitors three earned runs. Miller
had what looked like a safe hit sailing
well, but ''Tacks" Parrot went into

plays that was ever seen, pulling the
ball down with the certainty of the ulti-

Cassidy waited for four. Kuehne hit
over Mullane's head. Tony broke it's
force, but Shugart fused with it until
all the runners were safe. Boyle also
waited for four, and a passed ball for
