SIAIE CONTRACTS LEI
Stale Board of Charities Get
Low Bids on Beef.
WICHITA GETS FOUR
Majority of Contracts Ma6e
With Topeka Firms.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE State Board
OF Charities is letting the semi-annual
contracts for supplies for the state char
liable institutions which there are eight
in Kansas. The supplies for the next
six months are to cost about $50, COO All
bids except those on teas and coffees have
been let
The following firms received contracts
for supplying. groceries: Parkhurst- Davis
Mercantile company. Topeka: W. F.
Weber Grocery company, Topeka; H. D.
Lee. SalIna; Symms Grocery company.
Atchison; Lehman-Higginson Grocery
company, Wichita; Jet & Wood, Wich-
tia; Dolan Grocery company, Atchison;
Schultz Grocery company Leavenworth.
The following firms received contracts
for furnishing supplies OF dry goods,
clothing and shoes; Mills Dry Goods COM
pany; Topeka; Crosby Bros. Dry Goods,
company, Topeka; D. ]. Greenwaid, To-
peka; Continental Clothing company, To-

Dry Goods company, Fort Scott, and the
Mccoy Dry Goods company Oskaloosa.
The meat contracts were awarded, and
notwithstanding the sky-high prices paid
for cattle and hogs, the board was able
to secure bids much lower than they did
last year. Sulzberger& Swartzchild Sc
cured the contract for beef steers and
heifers. Their bid was from fifty cents
to one dollar a hundred lower than any
other received, and seven cents lower
than last year. The contract price was
but $3.50 per hundred, while cattle are
selling on the hoof from S. to S6.75.
Armour secured the contract for pork
sausage, and while hogs are selling on
the market in Kansas City from $3.50 to
S675, their bid was but $685. These are
the two most astonishing bids, but all
OF them were remarkably low consider
ing the high prices which hogs and cat
tie are bringing this fall. Wolff Packing
company, of this city, secured most OF
the contracts for hams and bacon, and
they, too, made very low bids. The board |
is elated over the fact that the contracts |
have been secured at such low figures. !
but they cannot account for it, expecting /
as they did that the prices would be much |
higher than last year.

A FEW REASONS
Which Are Rapidly Making 4 New Ca.
tarrh Cure Famous.

stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new
catarrh cure. has the following advant-
ages over other catarrh remedies:
First: These tsbletc containe TO CO
caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are safe and beneficial for chill
dren as for adults; this is an important
point when it is recalled that many
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age, or any ex-
posture to tire air as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient TO carry and to
use at any time that it is only a question
of time when the tablet viii entirely
supercede liquid medicines as it has
alreaoy done in the medical department
of the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the COM
position of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they
contain the active principles of eucalyp-
tus bark, red gum, blood root and hy-
drastin, all harmless antiseptics which,
however, are death to catarrhal germs
wherever found, because they eliminate
them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and throat,
because these are simply local symptoms
and such treatment cannot possibly
reach the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is in the blood: for this reason, in
halers, douches, sprays and powders
never really cure catarrh, but simply give
temporary relief which a dose of plain
salt and water will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the sys-
TEN, out of the blood. by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy IS
the only kind which can be assimilated
into the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known
TO modern science in the antiseptic form
of the disease.
Next: The use of inhaIers, and spray
ing apparatuses. besides being ineffective
and disappointing. is expensive, while a
complete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets can be had at any drug store in
the United States and Canada for 50 cents.
