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. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing TO
cure with local treatment, pronounced IL in
durable. Science has proven catarrh TO be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hells Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on tho
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the system.

fitted in sections, that rolls over at
the upper edge.
The muff is round and drawn in to
fit the hands by means of elastics in

ARMY POST AN ISSUE.
Des MoInee Citizens Provide q site,
but Council Blocks u.

It Is probable that the question Of a
United Statets army post may be a
considerable factor in the Des Moines
city election campaign next spring.
The business men of the city nearly
year ago contributed the funds nec-
essary to purchase q site for the post,
but the city council dallies. One condi-
ton the government insists on before
establishing the post Is that the city
shall annex the territory comprising
the proposed site. It Is generally de-
sired that the post be inside the city,
in order that the more stringent mu-
nicipal authorities may prevent the
gathering of resorts about the govern
ment property.
