FRENCHMEN WANT

M. Senera Weller. a copper manufactures, and M. Dela Gettlerie, an engineer, con- stitute the committee.
 M. Weller explained that 1t was the object of his government to create post graduate school in this country for stu dents of the high technical and engin- eering schools. The school would simply be clearing house through which the young French engineers and economists would find employment at nominal sal aries or even without remuneration in the various great manufacturing con- cerns of the United States.
 The French graduates would really be apprentices in steel mills locomotive works and in other large manufactures.
 We are going to send our students, ,' said MT. Weller where they can learn to be Freneh-Amerieans, where they can absorb knowledge and also character, the hustle spirit and the andacity of venture some streak that runs through you. The French spirit is too conservatives we have come to realize that we are a bit slug gish and this new move is to develop our faith or personal initiative so well de- veloped in you. l shall only be here for

TT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
 Using catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and iudicious treatment of catarrh, whether located in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
 The list of eatarrh cures is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered, numerous and con- fusing, from sprays. inhalers, washes, ointments. and salyes to powders, liquids and tablets
 The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and the most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh reme- dies 1t Is almost entirely matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your system, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims as to what their medicines will do, always keep it a close secret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, Is largely because it not only cures ca- tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who use these tablets know what they are taking into their systems. lStuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets are composed of Red Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable and an- tiseptic ingredients. and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the m.uth they take immediate effect upon the mucus lining of the throat, nasal pas sa Res and whole respira tory tract.
 The cures that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of rtmarlkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para mount importance when it Is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cor dial approval from physicians, because their antiseptie character render them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them a common sense cure for all forms of ca- tarrhal troubles.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages
