CHANGE OF CLIMATE


Net Necessary Ia Order 20 Cure cstarrh.
The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh Is a change Of climate,
is a mistake because catarrh Is
found In all climates in all sections OF
the country land even II change of eli
mate should benefit for time the ca
tarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured In any eli :
mate, but the only way to do II Is to de
stroy or remove from the system the ca
tarrhal germs which cause all tho 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 and bronchial
tubes and also catarrh of the stomach, Is
sold by druggists under name of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
1Aput, tttu Ouifl duu ~ new 5pCSiliS bniA-
ed Guaiacol, which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined In convenient
platable tablet form, and as valuable for
children as for adults.
Mr.. A. II. Fernbank of Colu mbus,
Ohio, says: / suffered so many winters
from Catarrh that too k it as matter
of course, and that nothing would cure
IL except change of climate, which my
cuisines affairs would not permit me to
take.
My nostrils were almost always clogged
up, had to breathe through the mouth
causing an inhamed, irritated throat.
The thought of eating breakfast often
nauseated me and the catarrh gradually
getting into my stomach took away my
appetite and digestion.
My druggists advised me to try a fifty
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. took his adj
vice and used several boxes with results
that surprised and delighted ME.
j always keep 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's
Catarrh Tablets TO ward off Group and
colds and with older people have known
of cases where the bearing had been Sc
riously impaired by chronic catarrh cured
entirely by this new remedy.

How to Grow short,

If you climb n mountain, your height
decreases by three-quarters of an inch,
and it may even diminish, exceptional
ly, by Il full inch.
This is n fact known to all expert
enced mountain and Alpine climbers.
On reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents of holi-
day makers in the Alpine districts the
stature of the climber is found to have
become less TO the extent already men
toned.
Doctors think that the attitude as
sumed of necessity in ascending is the
cause of this diminution. Some per-
sons believe that the pressure of the at
mosphere produces this shrinking In
favor of the medical theory there is the
other unquestionable fact that the de-
crease of stature is greater in those
who carry a heavy pack during the
climb.
When the Alpinist has descended to
the ordinary level, his height begins to
increase, but the normal length of the
body is not attained until several hours
after reaching the regular surface of
the earth.

The bill is on imperial green paper, a
color held sacred in Turkey, which the
government alone is permitted to use.
On the top and sides are the following
words in Turkish, "To be paid to the

At the top of the note is the sultan's
toghra, surrounding which is a quota
ton from the Koran. Underneath are
the words, Twenty piasters, paper
money, to be used in the place of gold
at the Bank of Constantinople." At
the base of the note is the seal of the

minister of the treasury. The toghra
is considered sacred and is guarded by
the three highest officials of the mint,
whose sole duty is to watch it.

no. A block stopped the sad cortegc,

Does that give you pleasure, mad
ann" said Mr.. NJ.
"Yes, ii does"
"Then, madam" said Mr.. NJ, taking
off his hat and making Il low bow, Il
do not die in vain"
Lady -- was moved. She made in
terest for Mr.. NJ. There exists Il paper
in the hand of George H. to this effect:

King of Virginia.

Apropos of the British royal titles a
reference to colonial possessions ap-
peared in an English sovereign's des-
ignation so long ago as the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser
dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza
beth, and then he described her as
queen of England, France and Ireland
and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir-
ginia." 1t may also be remembered
that the Virginians refused to acknowl-
edge Oliver Cromwell's protectorate un-
til he sent Il fleet to compel them to
do so. Charles H., in return expression
of the colouists' loyalty, had himself
proclaimed in Virginia on his restora-
ton as king of Great Britain. Ireland
and Virginia" The further statement
has been made that Charles caused the
arms of Virginia to be quartercd with
those of England. Ireland and Scot

Two COnSDiracieS.

''It will be recalled" says
the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette,
''that when the time came for the
election of a successor to United
States Senator Quay, the Senator
being a candidate for reelection,
certain suits were brought against
him in the Philadelphia courts.
These suits were were so timed as
to drag along during the legislative
session of 1899, and the charges
made were worked to the limit, to
put it mildly, to prevent the return
of Col. Quay to the United States
Senate. The conspiracy succeeded
to the extent that the conspirators
were able to deadlock the Legisla-
ture and prevent an election. But
members of the General Assembly
had not reached their homes after
final adjournment before Senator
Quay was completely vindicated
and acquitted. The conspiracy to
ruin him had failed. The con-
spirators by the liberal use of
money between sessions of the
Legislature were able to make a
show of force at the session Of 1901,
but their power had been broken
and Senator Quay, the choice of
the people, was again elected to
represent the Commonwealth in
the Upper House of Congress.
"The persons who were behind
the conspiracy to ruin Senator
Quay are now behind the SANDER
Gus attack on Judge Potter. They
are not so bold now as when they
attacked Quay, for then they seized
upon the machinery of justice to
further their base political designs,
whereas now they merely seek
publicity through the columns of
newspaper. Their conspiracy
against Quay failed utterly, but
they have financed this new con-
spiracy in the hope of getting a
man of their own choosing on the
Supreme bench. Imagine the
choice of such an unscrupulous
gang as member of the highest
tribunal of this great common
wealth. The people have rebuked
them before and will rebuke them
again. Judge Potter will be elect
ed by majority that will be all
the larger because of the villainous
attack on him. The people of
Pennsylvania refused to give ex-
ecutive and legislative control into
the hands of the hungry and thirsty
assassins of character; they will be
even slower to give them control of
the judiciarv.n
