Part OF the West African Coast Ravaeed
by the Disease.
Malarial fever is the greatest scourge
along the west coast OF Africa. but
the country has usually, though not
always. been spared visitations Of yell
low fever. which is far more preva-
lent along the tropical western coast
OF the Atlantic than on the eastern
side OF that ocean. In the past sum-
mer, however. yellow fever scourged
West Africa from the desert of sa-
hara southwark through Senegal. In
August last, says the Revue Fran
caise, many OF the officers OF the
French army OF occupation and also
several sisters OF charity died OF the
disease. The government OF the coun-
try was completely disorganized on
account Of it. Mr. Chaudle. the gov
ernor general. departed for Europe.
leaving Gen COmbes in charge OF his
duties. The army doctors heroically
remained at their posts and have done
splendid service in fighting the scourge.
II is believed that the plague was in
troduced by Syrian and his compan-
ions who spread it over the country.
The result was a complete embargo
upon commerce. as no vessel anchored
there and no European was able to
leave. The local government is very
much blamed in France for not taking
better precautions against the spread
ing OF the scourge.

Germany. which brought out the dog
as a bearer OF help to the wounded on
the battlefield, is thinking now OF sup
planting the carrier pigeon with the
crow. One argument in favor Of this
substitution is that while people might
kill carrier pigeons for food. the crow
would be exempt from that danger. as
eating crow" is a term OF contempt
with civilized peoples. On the other
hand, II people will not eat crow. crow
will eat carrion. and ii is feared that
these crafty birds might linger too
long over the succulent feasts OF the
battlefield to make them valuable as
carriers OF dispatches. However. a So
ciety has been formed in Germany to
exploit the crow in this new feld.
Members Of this society believe that
the crow can be tanned and trained
and awhile ago the Kaiser solemnly
reviewed a crow In a march past. ="
which in foreign armies IS equivalent
to our review" The emperor walked
around the crow. and then the crow
marched past the emperor. who ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
Appearance OF his newest and strangest
recruit. But as to experimenting with
the crow as a bearer OF dispatches
that really hasn't been done yet.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is S symptom, an indica- | ton of derang or disease in some | organ and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many | diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; derangement of the stom- | ach and liver. heart trouble. kidney | disease, lung trouble. eye strain or ill., fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could always locate the or gan which Is at fault, the cure of ob- stiLate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However. for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of
 the eyes and in forehead, the cause Is now known to be Catarrh of the head | and throat; when the headache is To-
 cated in the back of the head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or hver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most com-
 mon caues of such headaches and the cure of the Catargh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches.
 There is at present no treatmcn: for | catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a new inter-
 nal remedy in tablet form. composed
 of antlssptics like Eucalyptol. Guaia-
 col and Blood Root, which act upon
 the blood and cause the elimination O.
 the catarrhal poison from the system
 through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent school teacher in n'one of cur normal schools speaks of her experience with | catarrhal headaches and clllogizes Stu arts Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them | She says: '1 suffered daily from se- were frontal headache and pain in aE1 back of the eyes, at times so intensely
 as to incapaci;ate me in my daily dut- | iCs. l had suffered from catarrh more or less for years, bu, never thought it was the cause of my headaches, bu. | finally became convinced that such was | the case because the headaches were always worse whenever ' had n cold | or fresh attack of catarrh.
 | "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly | recommended to me as d safe and pleasant catarrh cure and after using | a few flfty-cent boxes whicn l procured | from my druggist I was surprised and | delighted to find that both the catarrh | and headaches had gone for good Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by | druggists at fifty CLnts per package
