Chronic Catarrh is often very stub
born disease to cure. Some cases will
resist the best OF treatment during the
winter months. To catch cold during
the treatment OF chronic catarrh is TO
delay the cure, if not entirely defeat It.
The spring months are far more favor
able for the treatment of this disease.
Two weeks treatment may now prove
to be Of more value than two months
treatment during the winter season.
No one should neglect this opportunity.

Reeds Proposed Reform.

1t is'said that toe Hon B Reed has
become convinced that the house
of representatives would get along a
great deal better without decks in the
hall where it transacts its business.
MI. Reed will endeavor to have
these desks removed and benches sub
s.ituted for them He believes ths,
better attention to business and iss more
prompt transaction could be thus secur'
ed. 10 several of the New Eoglsod
states there are no desks for members
ir legislative balls They sit, as the
British house of commons do. Oh
benches When they wish TO attend
to their correspondence they retire to
tie writing rooms. which are near at
band. These apartments are better
suited, for letter writing or the prepara'
ton of speeches than the halls where

of debate prevails.

had smsl'e. mem bership 1t already
has 357 members, and the probability
is tba. the number will be increased by

There is much to be said in favor Of
Mr.. Reeds plan for benches instead Of
desks. 1t would relieve the present
crowded condition of the hall of the
house and would have tendency to
make the members presen, more attept-
tive 20 what goes on.
