1T IS THE WAY YOU USE IT.
It's the Method Employed which
Makes Smccess or Failure.

One man with pen, ink, and paper can

same pen and ink may not be able to
write his name legibly. 1t Is all III know
ing how.
1t is equally true in the use of medi-
cines. The same remedies we nave To-Day
have existed for thousands OF years Out
if their existence was known the kno"i-
edge OF how to use them was lacking.
They became valuable to the human
race only when experiment ana science
showed the way to use them to get 1e-
suits
The grip is an old disease with a new
name; 1t is really catarrhal in character.
and the usual symptoms are those OF
acute catarrh, but the old-time catarrh
powders, saives, and sprays do not cure
it. neither does the application of anti
septlcs through an inhaler give anything
more than relief for a short time

! are applied rightly, but their local appii-
cation to the nose and throat avail little
because the germs are in the blood ana
through the whole system.
StuartS Catarrh Tablets contain many
of these same antiseptics. that used
in sprays and iuhalers, but instead of
applying them to the infiamed mem
| branes of the nose and throat, they are
| taken into the stomach and thus reach
the blood, the real seat of the disease
and drive out the infectious germs

! lets reach the cause of the mischief in
stead of merely local symptoms.
The remarkable success of these tablets
in curing grip, catarrh and throat and
lung troubles is because they drive the
catarrhal poison from the system and the
nose and throat become clear of the ex-
CeSsiVe secretion of mucus. which causes
the hawking, splitting, and gagging, be-
cause the secretion is not supplied from
healthy blood.
Two years ago Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
were unknown. but today have become so
popular through positive merit that drug
| gists everywhere in the United States,
Canada, and Great Britain now sell them.

GIRL WORE MALE ATTIRE
Catharine Glenn Left Home and
Essayed the Role of Man.
Lived with Fair Companion as
Husband md Wife--DeDied Her
Sex when Arrested-ES Sadcd Police
for Weeks-sicr Parents Notified.

After having successfully evaded ar
rest for nearly two months. Catharine
Glenn, eighteen years old. whose parents
live at 1249 Thirty-second Street north
west, was taken into custody by Bicycle
Policemen Warren and Plemmons. about
10 o'clock last night, and lodged at the
House Of Detention charged with being
a fugitive from her parents. When ar
rested the girl was neatly dressed in male
attire and her disguise was so complete
as to puzzle the police. She wore pair
of dark pants, a fancy colored vest, a
sack coat black derby hat, and gold
trimmed eyeglasses. Her hair had been
cut short, and was neatly parted in the
middle, and her gait was truly mannish.
She will be held to await the action of
her parents.
The Glenn girl left home early in Febru-
airy. it is said. because her mother refused
to let her keep company with a girl
friend. 70 escape detection, the runaway
adopted the disguise stated, and together
with her chum. Grace Mendel. went TO
live at the home of Mrs. Mcdonald. col
ored, at q + Street southwest, as
Frank Thomas and wife. -.
In the mean time the anxious parents
of the Glenn girl reported her disappear
ance to the police. No girl of the descrip-
tion given could be located by them. The
two girls frequently walked in the princi-
pal streets of the city, and at one time, it
is said, the Glenn girl stood directly op-
posite her own brother. who could not
penetrate her disguise.
The police of the First precinct learned
that a few nights ago the Glenn girl and
her companion visited downtown cafe
and ordered something to eat, much to
the amusement of the clerk, who had
known the Glenn girl for a number of
years. They also learned that the Glenn
girl was disguised and that when the dis
guse was penetrated by the cafe empiOye
it Occasioned no concern on the part of
either girl. Policemen Warren and
Plemmons continued the hunt and last
night received information where the two
girls could be located. In fun uniform
they proceeded to the place of abode of
the alleged man and wife.
When confronted by the policemen the
Glenn girl maintained her bold demeanor,
declaring that she was q man and not
woman. The police were a little dubious,
but calmly informed the girl in male at
tire that she must accompany them to
the station. The Mendel girl, who is Il
resident of Baltimore Md, and who re-
Gently came TO this city in search of en-
Uloyment. was not arrested Mr.. and
Mrs. Glenn were notified of the arrest of
their daughter, and are expected to take
