pointing Republicans if suitable could
be found, if not of appointing gold
Democrats. This plan of the President
meets with the approval of the Cabinet.
The appointment of DR.. Clayton was

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has tor
many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected a treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snuffles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
a full months treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
tion quickly and permanently and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption - "Snuffles"
will save you if you use it at once.
1t is no ordinary remedy, but a COM
plete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write full particu-
lars AZ to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the
discoverer of this wonderful RENE
dy regarding your case without cost
to you beyond the regular price of
"Snuftles," the guaranteed catarrh
cure"

as modern industrialism results in the
formation Of great trusts, and the

"As the gold mining interest was mt
the root OF the conflict In South

that these tendencies are Irresistible

While We do not believe In gnor-
