CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary Ia orasr TO care cstarrh.


The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh Is change Of climate,
Is mistake because catarrh Is
found in all climates in all sections OF
the country land even II change OF ell
mate should benefit for time the ca
tarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured In any cli-
mats, but the only way to do 1t Is to de :
slroy or remove from the system the ca
tarrhal germs which cause all the mis-
chief.
The treatment by enhalers, sprays, pow
ders and washes has been proven almost
useless in making a permanent cure
as they do not reach the seat of disease
which is in the blood and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood
and system generally.
A new discovery which IS meeting
with remarkable success In curing ca
tarrh of the head, throat ana oronehiai
tubes and also catarrh Of the stomach, Is
sold by druggists under name OF Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant ana
harmless to take owe their efficiency 70
the active medicinal principles OF biooa
Root. Red Gum and new specific call
ed Gnaiacol W hich together with valuable
antiseptics arc combined in convenient
platabIe tablet form, and as valuable for
children as for adults.
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank of Co'um0us,
Ohio, says: l suffered so many winters
from Catarrh that took it as matter
of course, and that nothing would cure
it except change of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
NV nostrils we're almost always clogged
up. / had to breathe through the mouth
causing an inflamed, irritated throat.
The thought of eating breakfast often
nauseated me and the catarrh gradually
getting into my stomach took away my
appetite and digestion.
NV druggists advised me to try nifty
cent box of Stualt's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause he said he had SO many customers
who had been cured of Catarrh by the
use of these tablets, that he felt he could
honestly recomand them. i took his adj
vice and used several boxes with results
tina: surprised and delighted ME.
/ always keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in the house and the whole
family use them freely on the first APP
pearance of cough or cold in the head.
With our children we think there Is
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart {
Catarrh Tablets to ward of Group and
colds and with older people have known
of cases where the hearing had been sc,

Another thing which seems astonishing
10 anyone who mas lived long time
abroad is the crowd OF people who get

water at the booths. not any other bever-
ages appearing to be available at the
stations. But we soon learned that this
water was to wash down a sweet, obiong
little cake. kind OF candy called the
Turkish Delight; and the mountains
Of copper left on the counter show that
the water thrown in has not been given
for nothing.
Along this route we soon began to
notice those queer little stone houses
which are scattsred every where over the
country. In many OF thess we could see
no windows at ali, and In others the
blinds were tightly closed. no doubt to
keep out the heat, in a temperature, even
IN those late October days, still at ninety
in the shade. But when occasionally
we saw these blinds open we noticed that
thers were no glazsd windows behind
there, and we wondered what the people
do in the short but often disagreeabie
winter, shut up in their houses without
light. 1t seems, however, since fires for
comfort are thing unknown. no mat

After crossing the canal the railroad
skirts the Saronic gulf, In some places
overlooking the steep sides. The narrow
pass here used to be called the Skironian

Der Skiron, who was accustomed to kick
travellers over the preoipice, until he met
the same fate at the hands OF Theseus.
But now they say he was II belied, and
that It was he who built the first safe

| At Niagara, the former rocky island OF
Minoa, you see the citadel and higher q p
the site OF former castle Of the son OF
Pelops, who married the daughter Of
King Megareus and built the wall
around 1t with the help OF
Apollo. Megara was at It's zenith In the
eighth century b. q. The Athenians
failed in frequent attempts to make
themselves masters OF it, but 1t continued
the rival OF Corinth.
1t was getting dusk, and accordingly
we reserved until later the wonders OF
the rest of the war.
The first object you see on approaching
Athens. ms well as the last on leaving 1t,

REASONS, avoided them. II was here that
Alexander the Great caused hims3lf TO
be hailed as leader OF the Greeks In 3s6
b. o., and here, In 1876 d. o., Titus
Quintus Flaminius proclaimed liberty
as gift to the Greeks from the Romans
who had conquered their enemies tor
them. The rejoicing was so great at this
time that the shouts OF the people are
said to have been heard even as far IS

themselves enslaved the Greeks.

rather commercial failure, rs the taxes

too narrow for very large ships, so that
at present 1t is only patronized by Greek
vessels.
We found the walk through the isthmus
hack to the hotel very interesting as an
introduction to Gresk country life. That
morning we saw many handsome faces,
both OF men and women In their peasant
costumes. the women with their inimita-
BILE head gear put ON so becoming ly that
the coarsest kerohief sets on the head

We met many groups with heavy lade q

Thousands of Iron and Steel
Workers Are Out
MANY MILLS CLOSED
But In Number of Localities Many of the
Employees Have Declined to
Lave Their Work.

BY Associated Press:
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug 12.-The Anal
gamated association failed to make
good it's threat to stop the upper and
lower Union mills this morning. The
Republic, Painter, Lindsay & Nc
Cutcheon, and Frankstown pudding
and rolling mills of the continental
department Of the National Tube COM
pany were closed down this morning.
The Lindsay & McCutcheon plant
started up later with a small force.
The mills Of the American Sheet steel
company at Vandergrift, Apollo,
Leechburg, Hyde Park and Salisbury
are all running full. None Of the old
men failed to report for work
The departments of the National
Tube works at McKeesport that are
closed are the National mill, 1000
men; Boston Iron and Steel mill, 500;
Monongahela Steel mill, 400. The
McKeesport strikers severly criticize
the action of Chicago and other west
ern men in refusing to come out.
Twelve mills were started at Wells
vile today, making gain of one. The
Amalgamated association issued a
general appeal to organized labor for
financial assistance.
President Shaffer said: 1--WE have no
official information about the situation
In the west. I do not believe Vice
President Davis Of Chicago accepted
superintendency from the trust as
reported. My only regret is that the
men working in the slave pens Of the
trust had not spirit enough to come
out and join the strikers. l will not
take any part in calling out the Ameri-
can Federation of labor. It's action
might be voluntary. The Amalgam-
ated has not lost anything, but made
gains"
Secretary Williams said: II think
the greatest surprise of the strike will
come to the steel officials when they
find we have invaded the Carnegie
plant. We have reliable reports that
the lower city mill is tied up and bnt
one mill in the upper plant is on. We
have not made known our plans and
