A clerk in a prominent insurance office in Pittsburg relates his experience with Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in few words, but to the point. He says: "Catarrh has been almost constantly with me for eight years; In this climate 1t seems impossible to get rid of it. I awoke every morning stuffed up and for the first half hour it was cough gag, expectorate and sneeze before could square myself for my days work: no appetite and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly.
 T used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for two months and found them not only pleasant to take. but they did the busi- ness, and I can sincerely recommend them to all catarrh suffereres."

Changes for the best aie constantly
being made There Is an evolution
going on all the time in the manufac-
ture Of shoes The up-t0-date shoe
dealer Is alive TO this fact yet many
continue 10 sell the same Old-style
shoes they did years agO-clumsy, ILL
fitting, hard on the feet. Only few
years ago none but the weli-tO-dO could
afford to purchase glove-fitting shoes
cost too much. Then il was that the
purchase Of new pair of shoes wa an
ticipated with dread, because, during
the hreaking-in" period much dis
comfort was experienced, and the old
pair was given mp with reluctance. IL
was a sacrifice Of comfort m the old
shoes to style and appearance In the
new.
To-day the manufacture Of shoes has
reached the stage Of Specialization, the
period where vast fortune Is invested
in special tools and machinery for the
production Of one special design, which
has been brought to state Of perfec-
ton by the employment Of the best shoe
brains i'm the country, their whole en-
ergy devoted 10 combining the highest
degree Of comfort with grace, style, and
durability.
Thus we have the largest manufacture
er Of women's fine shoes in the world
producing the queen Quality shoe.
Ladies who have formerly paid from
"a to s. for their shoes find in "Queen
Quality thoroughly high-grade shoe
Of unusual merit at the sensible price Of
s.. To pay more is to throw money
away. The "middle-class" purchasers
who do not feel they could afford to pay
= or more, aud, therefore, have to be
c0ntented with a less expensive article
now have the acme Of comfort and style
within their reach at a price within
their means. We shall tell you more
about "Queen Quality" from time to
time. No one else in our city sells
them, and what We say Of them u ex-
actly so.
