one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catlrrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietOrs have so much

The third and youngest Miss Hender-

time concentrating the wrecked dishes
about one unturned plate.
They were lingering at table to &C.
commodate the one male member Of
the family. His name was Jack, and
he was late. He always was late. He
was systematic in nothing but the
manufacturing of apologies which salv-
ed his own conscience without in the
least modifying the cooks temper.
He made his customary tumultuous
entry just in time to catch the remarks
recorded above.
''There hasn't been any dinner in

Three females to one male is always
