Queen Victoria's left hand shows two
rings she has worn fee firSy-six years.
One is her Majesty's engagement
ring, the other her wedding ring. The
latter was placed on her second finger,
as all the world knows, on the morn
ing of February 10, 1910, by Prince AL
bert.
Both rings are plain gold bands, and
one is set with a few rare diamonds
of great brilliancy. There are many
far more costly rings worn in New
York to-day.
For many years it has been an i'm
possibility to remove either of these
rings except by first cutting them 20
pieces; and unless the Queen consents
to such means she must wear these
rings till the end. In order to in
dulge in the very pretty sentiment of
wearing this simple jeweiry for a life
time, the Queen has been obliged TO
suffer much Inconvenience, and not a
little actual. physical pain.

"For four years I had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was a mild one at
first it was not long until noticed thatit
was gradually growing worse. OF course
l was under treatment of frst-class ply
s~icians, but their remedies were applied
locally, and the disease seemed to be get
ting a firmer hold on me all the while.
"After spending so much money for
treatment which proved to be all in
vain, Twas urged to try SIS. This rem
edy proved to be the right one, for itgota at
the disease, and a few bottles cured me
perfectly. The cure was a permanent
one, and I have not had a touch of the
disease for many years. Swift's Specific
is the only remedy that will have the
slightest effect upon Catarrh."
Sufferers from Catarrh should get a
start on the disease before the cold
weather ~aggravates it. Those who have
been relying upon local treatment will
find winter weather is all that is
needed to show that the disease is still
with them. A course of S.S.S. (Swift's
Specific) will prove all assertions made
that it sthe only cure for Catarrh; itgoes
tothe cause of the trouble-the blood
and forces out all traces ofthe disease.
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which reaches real obstinate blood dis
cases; it cures Catarrh, Rheumatism,
Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Ec-
zema, Scrofula, and in fact every other
disease of the blood. It is guaranteed

Women and Wrinkles.

Wrinkles, those fell destroyers of
beauty, are frequently originated in
sleeping, the position of the head and
face being to blame. 1t is difficult,
nay, impossible to regulate ones sleep
ing position, but when one is fully
awake, care should be taken to avoid
frowning or comforting the face in any
manner which would leave tell-tale
marks. Scowling is often INDUCED in

Candidates Selected ut Republican
Convention at HaEerstOwn Yesterday
Special Dspi tch to The Eyering Star.
HAGERSTOWN, September 1.-THE fol-
lowing ticket was nominated by the repub-
lican county convention, which met here
yesterday: For the house of delegates, j s.
S. Mccartney, Harvey S. Bomberger and
John J. Koontz; county commissioners,
of the circuit court, 7. A. Brown; register
of wills, John E. Wagaman; sheriff, Theo-
dore B. Embry.
The resolutions affirmed adherence to the
ST. Louis platform; pledge the candidates
to the legislature to any sound money man
who may be presented as the most de-
siraDle candidate for the United States
Senate; severely criticise Senator Cor
man, and praise the present republican
county administration.
The Scott-McComas faction had the con-
vention well in hand from start to finish,
the Cook-Welling ton men throwing but
few, if any, obstacles in the way of harmo-
disappointment to the large number of
lookers-on in attendance.
The ticket, as a whole is conceded to be
a strong one, and, contrary to previous OK
pectations, will not be knitted to any ex.
tent by the Wellington-Cook men, who are
already showing a disposition to throw
aside men for the party's good.
The legislative portion OF the ticket car;
be relied upon solid for Judge McComaS
if successful at the approaching election,
and should the judge be presented to sue
coed Senator German. J. J. Koontz, one of
the legislature, and is a stanch friend of
Judge McComaS.
