There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. oFOr a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced ii in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of

for any case 1t fails ocure. Send for circulars

KilIA the Song

Clifton Bingham, the author of "In
Old Madrid" Loves Old Sweet Song"
and The Dear Homeland" once said:
''The moment song is put on the
Streets as we call it, it becomes tre-
mendously popular. You hear it every
where. Every boy huns it as he goes
to school, 1t is played in every street.
But my publisher shakes his head sad
ly when that day comes. 1t is general
ly the beginning Of the end-a boom
which dies away. People get tired Of
hearing the same song wherever they
60, whatever the song may be, and the
song of the barrel organ is not well
come in the drawing room. So that
the putting Of a song on the street or
gans means a fieeting fame, and then
well, too often an utter relapse and
complete oblivion"

Fresh Water Springs In Midoccnn

Several fresh water fountains are
known to exist in the gulf of Mexico,
where vessels have frequently filled
their casks with ice cold sweet water
that comes up like a geyser in the
midst of the salt water. The fresh
water springs, as the sailors call them.
have been known in the gulf for 200
or 800 years. They were discovered by
early voyagers and were the salvation
Of many a mariner whose supply of
fresh water ran short while he was
becalmed in the doldrums. Some of
the fresh water springs are marked
upon the charts, but there is so little
need of them nowadays by the steam
ers on the gulf and the sailing fleet is
so small that no attention is paid to
them, and they have passed out of the
knowledge of the younger skipper

Largest of Animals.

Mr.. Beddard in his book on whales
reminds readers that although imagi-
nation is apt to picture the giant rep-
tiles of the jurassic and cretaceous
periods as having exceeded in size all
modern animals yet in fact there Is no
evidence that the earth has ever con-
tained either on the land or in the sea

The mammoth was larger than the ele-
phant, but the ichthyosaurus could not
match the whale for size, although
with it's terrible jaws it would doubt
less have been the whales master.

Root. the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
