Large Fund Could Be Raised by
Giving Entertainments.

The state convention of the Elks at
New Philadelphia, Aug. 0 and 10, will
be one of the most important events IN
the history of the Ohio Elkdom, says
the Columbus Dispatch. The lack of
attendance at the national session held
at Atlantic City, owing to the failure
of the railroads to grant low rates,
showed the Elks that the best plan in
ventions and there select one member
from each state, or possibly more, TO
attend the national meeting and trans
act the business of the whole country.
In other words the state conventions
would attend to all the business per-
tanning directly to the state in which
the meeting was held and instead of
having large number of Elks go
away from home and spend a barrel
of money where it was not necessary,
it would be the far better plan to
choose some safe delegate or delegates
to attend to the business Of the state
at the national conventions and devote
the money otherwise spent to the good
OF the order in the native state.
For some time the matter of an
Elks' National Home has been up for
discussion. Several cities in Ohio and
other states have bid for the privi-
lege of having the home at their cities.
The object of the home was to give in
digent and aged Elks a place where
they could end their days in peace and
quietudc.
At the New Philadelphia meeting, an
entirely new scheme will be sprung.
BY carefully looking over the records
of sixty lodges in this state one can
find that there are but three Elks
who need assistance. This is Il re-
markablc record and one of which the
Ohio Elks may well feel proud. This
fact set the Ohioans thinking and they
came to the conclusion that there was
nothing in 1t for them to have to pay
their per capita for tn csupport Of
Elks from other states at national
home
That being the case, they reasoned,
what was the matter with having a
home of our own and then charging
reasonable but nominal sum when

either there is. l have an application TO

There may be millions in all there. But

once. 1t has been held at $500 per acre.
l now offer it at 5000 per acre. At this
there is a big bargain in it for some one.
The buildings on the place are worth
most OF this. The lumber as much more.
1t would make one of the finest Stock

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.
In its earlier stages catarrh is more of
nuisance than menace to the general
health, but sooner or later, the disease ex-
tends to the throat. bronchial tubes and
even to the stomach and intestines
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucuous membrane. the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucous,
stoppage of the nostrils. irritation in
throat, causing coughing, sneezng, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the throat
and head
The usual treatment by local douches,
snufrs, salves, etc, often give temporary
relief. but anything like cure can only
be obtained by treatment which removes
the catarrhal faint from the blood and
the disappearance of the Inflammation
from the mucuous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard
ly be called a secret patent medicine as
they are composed of such valuable rem
edies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyp-
toll and similar cleansing antiseptics,
which cure by eliminating from the blood
and mucous surfaces the catarrh poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken internal
", allowing them to dissolve slowly in the
mouth, in this way they reach the throat
fauces and the entire alimentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a douche. in addi-
ton to the internal use, but it is not at
all necessary to use a douche; few of
them dissolved in the mouth daily will be
sufficient. However. when there is much
stoppage of the nose, douche made from
these tablets will give immediate relief,
but the regular daily use internally of
these tablets will cure the whole ca
tarrhal trouble without resorting to the
inconvenience of douche.
DR.. Bement states chat the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching, and
local application and further says that
probably the best and certainly the safest
remedy at present on the market is Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is
made of their composition and all the
really efficient remedies for catarrh arc
contained in this tablet
Druggists sell Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
at fifty cents for full sized packages.
Ask your druggist and if he is honest he.
will tell you there is no safer, more pala-
table, more efficient and convenient rem
edy on the market

Carr For Senator.

To the Editor:-While there are other
worthy and patriotic Democrats and North
Carolinians who would serve the people of
North Carolina with dignity in the United
States Senate, I am strongly in favor of
Gen. Julian S. Carr. of Durham, because,
in my opinion, he is the greatest friend to
the poor people of our Commonwealth
living in the State today He is a most
useful citizen in every walk of life, he
he has done more for the cause of educa-
ton, helping to pay the expenses of the
poor boys and girls who are unable to at
tend school and has been the greatest
sympathizer and has done more for the
poor and the needy and the helpless, the
old soldiers and the widows of old SOL
diers in particular, than any other man.
He is a friend to the business man, the
merchant, the farmer and the mechanic
and men in all professions. He has re-
sponded to every call for help without
knowing any creed, any system or any
special plan. He is the ideal man and
the man who the good people of North
Carolina want 10 represent them in the
United States Senate. His services to
the Democratic party will never be fully
known. In no campaign has he failed to
do his duty with his time and means and
for all these services it becomes our duty
fellow Democrats to honor him by elect
ing him to the position to which he as
pires.
Yours truly.

Remarkable Success of New Treatment
os Piles.

For many years it has been supposed
that the only absolutely sure cure for
piles was by surgical operation, but the
danger TO life and the pain and expense
has been so great that many thousands
suffer for years rather than submit to
this last resort; or they seek the tempo
rary relief in the many remedies claimed
to relieve piles and rectal troubles
salves, ointments and similar simple rem
edies which give only slight and very tenn
porary relief.
A new preparation which is painless and
harmless, but which affords immediate
relief and in many cases a complete cure
in a very short time, is sold by drug
gists under the name of Pyramid Pile
C--e.

and its regular use has cured thousands
of obstinate, long standing cases, and 1t
