WHY so MANY FAIL.
The Reason So Many Catarrh Remedies
are Unsuccessful.

nc heaSOn SO many Catarrn Remedies
are Unsuccessful.
There are few troubles, for which
there are so many remedies and So
called cures" as for catarrh and it
may be added there are few diseases
so difficult to really and permanently
cure
inhalers, sprays, powders and douch-
es are all applied locally and give tenn.
porary relief, often for only a few
hours, and it is doubtful if anything
like real cure of catarrh was ever
accomplished by the use of local appli-
cations.
Catarrh is n constitutional disease,
it is in the blood like rheumatism and
to cure it requires an internal medi-
cine to act upon the blood, to drive
QUITE the catarrhal poison from the
system entirely and any one can read
lily see that salve or powder or in-
haler which simply clears off the mu-
cous membrane of the nose and throat
can have no effect ON the real cause
of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the new
catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's is because 1t drives out of the
system through the natural channels,
catarrhal poison, the germs of grip,
bronchitis and consumption and
causes the hawking splitting and gag
ging because the excessive secretion
is no longer supplied when the blood
is made healthy from the regular use
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
The remedy is in the form of large

tiseptcs and so safe to use that little
children use them with perfect safety

ing from colds, Group or cough from
any cause
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have been
on the market scarcely one year, YET
they have met with such popularity
and success that druggists every

Mr.. HARMON DEFINES DEMOCRACY.

At banquet of the Iroquois club
at Chicago, Monday night, former At
torney General Judson Harmon gave
his fellow Democrats the following
inspirations:
Democracy does not consider
whether man is rich or poor; but 1t
does not purpose that any one shall
become either through government
favor or dlsfavor to others. 1t is not
the aggregate of Nations wealth
which measures its prosperity, but the
way it is distributed; and there are
ways of getting wealth which makes
1t come too dear.
"Is business to he so centralized
that we must buy from men as can
never look in the face, and be put, If
choose between commercial serfdom
and exile?
1T Is not Democracy to fill the trea-
sury by needless taxation, and then
empty it for improvements which do
not improve, pensions which do not
reward loss or sacrifice but breed idle
ness and intrigue and n large army
and navy with incidental contracts,
when we have not just cause Of war
with anybody.
"Thc party of Jefferson has dis
agreed to the point of rupture and de-
feat about some things. Surely it is
agreed and can unite on these, And it
Is well that on this anniversary of its
entrance into power on the day when
successor of Jefferson is installed
who represents, in the worst form, al
most every bad thing in government
| that jefferson opposed, and who lets
run unchecked, IL he does not en-
courage, n Congress of almost billion
dollar scssions-lt Is well that those
| who believe in the government whicl
Jefferson did so much to found should
| meet together strike hands and swear
| that nothing shall divide them unit
they have again made dominant Ii
public affairs the simplicity, fairness
equality and liberty for all others a'
well as for themselves, the love OF
which still lives in the breasts of til,
people"

ADDITION
To Alden Rubber Com
pany.
Plans Have Been Prepared For
Increasing Its Capacity.

A large addition is to be built to the
plant of the Alden Rubber Co.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders, held some days ago, plans We're
discussed and favorable action taken.
The demand for the products of this
concern has increased to such an eX-
tent that the present capacity is not
large enough.
Contracts for the. proposed addition
will be awarded as soon as the weather
modentes enough to permit of the
building of foundations. The company
has held back some on account of the
high price Of building materials.

The census of the German Empire
OF Dec. /, 1900, shows the population
TO be 56,3i5,ol4, an increase of more
than $4,000,00O since 1895. This is
ITO per cent, the highest rate of in.
crease for any qulnqucnial period dur
ing tho past 80 years.
In 1916 the population Of the coun-
tries now included within the Empire
was 24,S3l 1906. Notwithstanding
emigration, the population has more
than doubled since the close of the
Napoleonlc wars.
Another interesting fact connected
with the German census is the mar
ket falling off Of emigration. In 1891
4o,964 Germans left their fatherland.
In 1893 only 2l,s99 sought new homes.
The vitality of Germany IL in strik-
ing contrast to the apparent decadcncc
of France, where the population is
stationary. That war OF revenge
which Frenchmen have dreamed Of
since 1871 viii be war of folly if II
is ever fought.

With that amount the company could

He was 10 years old, and is reported to
be worth $3O,O0O,OOO. Mr.. Gilman

had refused to have any of the attend
ants in his home send for n physician.
He prided himself on his good health.
and he had an inordinate aversion to
the idea of sickness and death.

Maine, in 1926. His wife died six
years ago, and his nearest surviving
relatives are brother and nephew In

he refused positively to talk or read
about it, If he met funeral on his
drives about the country he would
turn about so as not to pass it. He
would not ride on train on which
there was n coffin.
1t is presumed that his death will
not interrupt the system of teastores
throughout the country. One of his
business methods was that each of

Concerning the visit Of Rev. u. p.
Jones, of the Tabernacle congregational
church, to Utica, N. ", recently, the
the following to say.
mot In many years has the congre-
cation of Bethesda church had the
pleasure of listening to better or more
forceful sermons than they did on
the last two Sundays, when Rev. David
p. Jones. of Scranton. Pa, occupied the
pulpit. Mr.. Jones' appeals are eloquent,
effective and interesting and his SER
mons are full of inducements to sin
ners to embrace religion His subject
yesterday morning was Hebrews iv:16.
and in the evening he took for his
theme Luke xiv:23: "And the Lord
said unto the servant, go out into the
highways and the hedges. and con-
strain them to come in, that my house
may be filed" Among other things he
said: First, the aim of the parable
was to call all sinners. under all cir
cumstances of life, unto Christ; second,
the mission of the church Is to teach
all nations the principle of the life of
Christ as the fundamental principle of
success in all respects; third, that the
church Is working slowly but surely.
but we should thank the Lord for his
Gospel. 1t is the best way to meet the
needs of men and women as sinners"
In his closing remarks Mr.. Jones made
strong appeal to young men, and In
vited them to become members of the
church before they are lost forever"

Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, Is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life. it is more often the re-
suit of weak Stomachs, of poor diges-
tion.
Real organic disease is incurable, but
not one case in Il hundred of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart Is nf-
fected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas fermentation from,
half dgested good. There is Il feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs.
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpatation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure prOmtp food assimilation.
This can be done by the regular Use
after meals of ao'oc safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like STU
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. which may be
found at most drug stores, and which
contains valuable. harmless digestive
clements in a pleasant. convenient for.n
