and the prospects are that it will be the
grandest fair ever held in southwest

Last night the fair association sold
5000 tickets to J. R. F. Allen Of Chi

than the gate receipts amounted to at

Newport, r. L., Aug. 6 -After lying in

HYATTSvILLE WATER SUPPLY.
Proposition to Ruild Water Tower
to BE Voted UDOn.

The commissioners of Hyattsville have
been in correspondence with several n.y.
drauIic engineers relative TO introducing
a water supply, and the matter is now
assuming shape to be presented to the
people. 1t is likely that the commits
sioners will ask the people 10 assemble in
mass meeting to discuss the plans and
estimates from the several engineers, and
If found satisfactory the legislature will
be asked to authorize the issuance of bonds
to cover tie cost Of introducing the
works.
1t is thought that the cheapest and most
feasible method would be the construction
of a water tower near the residence of Dr..
j. Z. Owens, to which water could be
pumped from neighboring springs or from
the Eastern Branch Of the Potomac River
1t is estimated that $4,000 would cover
the cost Atprcsent the water in the wells
is Of an excellent quality but the physi.
clans contend that what little illness
exists in the village is caused by the water

COLD IN THE-HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling OF the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves Of Smell. This organ Is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof Of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, 1t is called
CATARRh. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, 30 the cir In breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss Of SMELL. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude OF small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc Is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsils have
become a corrupt mass OF ulcers. IL not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. It viii be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM Is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
