A POLITICAL STRUGGLE
OUTCOME MAY MAKE CHANGES
 IN PRESIDENTS CABINET.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock and National Committeeman Kerens Locked Horns Over Mis-
 souri Patronage.
Washington Special to St. Louis Repub

Washington Special to St. Louis Repub-
 lie
 The fight between National Committed Man kerens and the Akins-Hitchcock faction is on now to a fini h. It has gone far beyond State politics Ind has involv- ed Chairman Hanna of the National Com mittee. Senator Steve Elkins-C West Nir- ginia and many other friends of Colonel kerens on one side and members of the Cabinet who side with Secreta " Hit, b. cock and Akins and all the influences which ca nbe invok d by the Republican Congrossmen from St. Louis or the tthcr side.
 The wires to the White House were kept hot today with telegrams to PIesi- dent Roosevelt urging action prJ and con in the Missouri controversy.
 The fight involves oth r questions than Federal offices in St. Louis or in tie State. The principal aim of Coopel Ke rens and his allies is to get Secretary Hitchcock out of the Cabin t. AutECr- ized statements from that s;do II i've been given the press assailing MT. Hitchcock in the bitterest language. To all this Sec retary Hitchcock makes no reply. He in- structed his private secretary to say to- day to all .iinauEies that ne would not discuss the matter, either ow or kere- after, for publication.
 1Oplc or OlSCuSS1on.
 The Missouri fight is the principal topic of discussion among politicians here Pre- dictions are f eely made that Kerens will force the retii ement of Secretary Hitch cock in the near future and as freely made on the other side that he will be sustained by the administration. It is i'm possible to predict the outcome, but it is known that the controversy has be- come very embarrassing to President Roosevelt. He is trying vainly to discov- CT some common ground on which the factions can be reconciled. The publicity given the views of the Kerens men. how ever, will make this impossible. Both sides are openly committed to fight for extermination and cannot alter their po- sition without a square backdown.
 It is practically settled that kerens will fail to get his men reappointcd ap- praiser and collector of internal revenue, and the prospect is that all herens once holders in the State Will have to nght for new commissions when their present terms expire. It was this prospect whi h drove the Kereus men to open attacks upon Secretary Hitchcock and State Chairman Akins. How much the Aliss2t- ri fight engrOssed the chief executive today will he seen by a short narrative of the White House occurrences.
 Secretary Hitchcock presented his side first in private. and was in conference an hour with his chief Later President Roosevelt received Colonel Kerens and Lib Morse of Excelsior Springs and Wal ter Dickey of Kansas City to argue the other side. They pleaded their cause in the cabinet-room while Senators and Representatives waited outside.

CATARRH

Catarrh las become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes so.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
