being made by a force of workmen, and
this busy department of the court house
presents a badly torn up appearance. On
account of the dust made by cutting
through the brick wall Dr. Gillespie and
his force have been compelled to tempo
rarily abandon the clerks office and have
taken up quarters in the court room. Judge
Wilkerson, sitting in the Sandlin case, held
court in the circuit court room, and the
recording clerks have taken a day off.
The work will be completed in a few days
and the improvements will greatly facili-

John Hardican, a white boy who works
at the Birmingham rolling mill, snatched
an envelope containing IS gold piece out
of one Rodenbeck's hand. Rodenbeck, who
also bears the American name of Sharp,
and the boy Hardican, had had the same
job in the mill, one working one week and
one the next. Their wages had by mistake
been put in the same envelope and de-
livered to Sharp The boy was impatient
to get his pay, and rather than wait to ar
bitrate the matter, he took forceful means
for procuring the same. Judge Feagin
held that when man even by force, pro-
cured what he believed to be rightfully his,
he was justifable, and Hardcan was turned
loose.

Beer for soldiers.

Commissary General Eagan, of the War
Department. advocates In his testimony
before the War Investigating Commission
the use of beer in the army. He said: Il
believe beer should be furnished to the
men in such quantities as the command
ing officers may decide to be best, and in
the interest of the men i would be willing
to incur the hostility of the blue ribbon So
cieties." No doubt the attention of the
army officials at Camp Alger had been
drawn to the very extraordinary physical
condition of the soldiers last Summer pro-
duced by the use of Heurichs beer, of
which large quantities had been sent there
to be served them during the meal hours
No fair-minded person would offer obiec-
tion If the army was furnished Heurie h s
beer. for the Government chemist of the
Agricultural Department has pronounced
Heurich's beer to be absolutely pure and
free from all de'eterious matter. Heurich's S
will prove a health restorative and muscle
maker for the soldiers.

All Patients Applying During the Remaining
Days Of December Will Be Treated for the
Nominal Fee of $1OO Week Until Cured,
Medicines Included.
The Treatment That Cures.

There is no one remedy, or one combi-
nation of remedies, that will cure all
cases of catarrh. The very nature of the
disease prevents this from being even "A
possibility. How Is 1t possible for rem
edy that is useful in a dry catarrh TO be
of any value in case where the dis
charges are thin, watery, and profuse?
Again, a remedy that will prove of value
In a long standing chronic case might be
positively harmful in q mild, simple one.
Each and every case must be treated n
exact accordance with the symptoms pre-
sented or the result Will b. a failure.
In the beginning of most cases of ca
tarrh the disease is purely local. that is.
confined to the head, but If neglected and
allowed to advance. the general System
will become involved IN some manner o.
other. Headaches. stomach troubles,
loss of smell. bronchitis and deafness are
a few complications of a neglected ca
tarrh.
When patients with these condit Tons
present themselves for treatment, they
must of necessity receive interna. medica-
ton. The system must be thoroughly
cleansed of all impurities by the careful
use of medicines that act on tie skin,
liver, bowels and kidneys. and that neu-
tralize and carry off the poison.
The local treatment of the nose and
throat must be exactly adapted to e
stage and character of the disease In
reality the great majority of catarrhal
cases require both constitutional and local
treatment, and it is folly to attempt a
radical cure by any other method.
1t is by recognizing these vital rrinci-
pies that the treatment of catarrhal dis
eases by the Cowden physicians has been
SO praised by the pubic and adopted by
thousands of catarrhal subjects.
There are many remedies that for a
short time seemingly relieve catarrh and
give promise of great results, but in the
end are found to be only palliative and
have only deadened the disease tempor-
arily. The use of cocaine, antipyr.n and
strong solutions of menfhol and ammonia
produce very pleasant effects in the be-
ginning, but they fail to cure. and in the
end might produce much harm.
The real test of any treatment is the
changes that are seen in the membrane,
and not the relief the patient feels for,
as before stated. the disease may be
deadened and the patient feel comforta-
Bile, while in reality the membrane may
be worse off than ever.

The Washington Light Infantry Hall
was crowded to the doors last night with
persons who were there to witness the
game of basketball between the Washing
ton Athletic Club, better known as tfe
juniors of the league, and the team of the
Carroll Institute. The game was inter-
esting and exciting throughout.
At the end of the second half the score
was to 5, and Umpire johnson an
nounced that the tie would be played off,
and that it would take two points to win
the game. After this a foul was called
on Murphy, of the CAROLS, and the ju-
niors gained a foul goal. This was C ose-
ly followed by a field goal by Brick, of
the CAROLS, which won the game, the
score being to 6.
Thompson, Brinkley and Evans did the
best all-round work for the juniors, and
Brick, DAILY and Lynch excelled for the

AN OBJECT LESSON
To Sick People Seeking Help

Has your attention been called to the
difference between the hundreds of testi-
monials published by Dr. Cowden and
those of others claiming to do just as
good work? Have you noticed that each
and all of his patients give their name
and address. and that they are living.
breathing evidences of what his treat
ment has done for them?
Do you appreciate the value of such
work as compared with that which might
be so easily manufactured with pencil
