C0Idn.
Many analysis Of cheap cough
mixtures, and cough and throat
1ozenges have clearly proven that
q large proportion OF them contain
opiateS.
The temporary relief which
these. cheap medicines often give
in coughs and colds, especially
with little children. is because the
opiate. by destroying nerve sensa-
ton, the irritation in throat,
which causes the cough, is tenn
porarily removed, but the real
cause of theAcold is not in any way
removed by the opiate and will
promptly return.
The best thing to use to remove
the catarrhal secretion which
causes the cold, the hoarseness
and irritating cough is a new
preparation composed Of antisep-
tics like Eucalyptol. Guaiacol, San
guinaria and sold by druggists un-
der name Of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, which contain no opiate, CO.
came or poisonous drug of any
sort.
A mother living in Charleston,
Mass, the happy possessor of
four children, writes: Every fall
and winter | have laid In a stock
of cough medicines, Group mix
lures, and throat remedies for my
little children. for somehow or
other, they never seemed to be
free from colds, Group or sore
throat
This fall I made a change in
the usual program. / had myself
been cured of an obstinate catarrh,
from which / had suffered for
years by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and as they were pleasant to take
/ determined to try them with my
children. Our family physician
told me he knew them to be per-
fectly safe and nothing better
could be taken. So I gave them
to the children and have contin-
ued to do SO eve since, whenever
there is the least sign Of Group or
sore throat and | no longer dread
the approach of cold weather as I
once did.
Stuart,s Catarrh Tablets not
only cured me of chronic nasal and
throat catarTh. but they have
saved me many an anxious night
with my little ones"
People who have used sprays.
inhalers. salves and washes for
catarrh, and have found how
useless they are, will be
agreeably surprised at the results
following the use of a pleasant
internal remedy in tablet form.
Druggists everywhere admit that
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which
they sell at SOC per package. is the
safest, most effective and popular
OF all catarrh remedies.

The average candidate for county

It is a fact which Is generally nm
derstood in local political circles that
a man without money cannot make a

struggled for a year to pay of the
mortgages or other obligations as

cd of governing the deaconesses.

The Situation in sOuth Africa.

London, May 7.-General Roberts's
main force has crossed the Vet river
and 10 aow at Smaldeel junction, about
10 miles farther north than the point
where the army bivouacked Saturday
night. The Beers are retreating on
Kroonstadt. General Roberts tele-
graphs that the turning movement by
the mounted Infantry just before dark
Saturday evening was a very dashiDg
affair. One Maxim gun and twenty
five prisoners were captured. The Brit
ish casualties were only one killed, Is
wounded and three missing.
There is as yet no official confrma-
ton of the report that Winburg has
been captured, but this Is believed to be
the case. A press dispatch says that
Roberts captured great quantity of
railroad material also of forage and
corn at Smsldeel. The Boer com.
mandos are doubtless in light marching
order and keeping OF q safe distance
from the threatening British. Fighting
so far has amounted to little more than
skirmishing and this will probably be
the case until the British reach Kroou-
stadt.
A dispatch from Smsldeel, dated
Monday, says that in the fighting Sun
day the Beers lost 40 men on the British
west flank. The dispatch also says that
The bridge over the Zind river has been
destroyed.

connoissance toward Schwartz Kopje-
