The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con.
stitutional treatment, Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer one Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
OF testimonials.

GOT HIS HAIR BACK.

Was Perfectly Bald When He Started TO Use
Newbro's Herplede.
Frederick Manuel, Maryland block,
Butte, Montana, bought bottle OF New
bros Herpicide, April 9, '99, and began
TO use il for entire badness. In 20 days,
he says, he had hair all over his head,
and on July he writes, aud today my
hair is as thick and luxuriant as any
one could wish. Newbro's Herpicide
works ON an old principle and with a
new discovery-destroy the cause and
you remove the effect, Herpicide de-
stroys the germ that causes dandruf,
falling hair, and finally badness, so
that with the cause gone the effect can
not remain. Stops falling hair at once
and starts the new growth in week.

WHAT MAKES THE BEST SOL
DTFR

One of the most powerful lessons
taught by the events of the British
Boer war in South Africa is that the
efficiency and formidableness of an
army-a gathering under central con-
troll of thousands of fighting men-de-
ponds not so much upon the pipe-cay
details Of professional soldering as up
on the spirit with which the fighting
men are animated 1t may not fairly
be denied that the patriot army of Boer
recruits, farmers and herdsmen, taken
from their fields and flocks, was supe-
rior In fighting ability, numbers being
equal to that of the British. That it
was also better generated, being finally
defeated only by overwhelming numbers
must be acknowledged on the facts in
the case. And yet, it was purely vol
unteer army, and was opposed to what
the world believed to be the finest of
all standing armies-profess1ona SOL
diers commanded by leaders who had
all their lives been studying and prac-
ticing the art of war.
The meaning of this is that the best
fighting, now as in the days Of Their
moplyae is done by men whose cause
stimulates them to supreme effort. An
army Of patriots arrayed in defense of
their native land, can in a marvelously
short time, be transformed into soldiers
capable of successfully resisting any
fighting merely as mechanical soldiers
for a certain wage per day. The best
fighting is that which possesses indi-
yidual initiative. This initiative comes
most truly from individual aspiration
and resolution. There is no training
possible to military schools or camps
which can so fit men for stubborn and
effective fighting as they are made fit
by the knowledge that they are fight
ing for a holy cause, for their native
country, their homes, their wives and
children. This is lesson which has
been unfailingly taught by the volun-
teer armies of the United States-St.
Louis Republic.
