CAT ARlRH

Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated ana
yery 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.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
Catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor
oughly and permanently the worst cases.

ST. Paul. Jan. 19;.-The senatorial
caucus was called to order last evening
at s o'clock by Senator Greer and
Speaker Bowling was chosen to pre-
side. After some time spent in the
usual preliminaries, passage of reso-
lutions, etc. nominatins were made,
Senator Mccarthy placed R. G. Evans
in nomination. Senator knatvold
named Congressman Tawney. Repre-
sentative Barteau announced Tams
Bixby as a candidate. Representative
Phillips named Thos. Lowry, and
Senator Sheehan placed Gen. Clapp in
the list. The first vote resulted, Evans
%, Clapp A, Tawney 81, Bixby IL,
Lowry 3, Jepson 1, McCleary 1. Four
teen ballots in all were taken without
choice. The last ballot was substan-
TALLY the same as the first. Evans had
SO, Clapp 45, Tawney 80, Bixby 2,
Lowry 3, McCleary 2.
The Evans men were eager for an
other ballot before adjournment. Some
of the men who are managing his
campaign fancied they saw signs of a
break in the opposing lines, and they
were eager to follow up their advan-
tage.
A motion to adjourn until 80 this
afternoon was voted down % to 112 and
the chairman ordered the clerk to call
the roll for the fifteenth ballot Before
the clerk had called half dozen
names, however. Mr. Ferris interrupt
ed with another motion to adjourn.
Mr.. Roberts raised the point of order
that the motion had just been defeated
and that inasmuch as no business had
been done since that was voted down,
it could not be considered and put the
motion.
Senator Sivright favored the motion
and said with not little warmth that
unless it was carried he, and sixty
one other members would walk out of
the hall.
An amendment providing for re-
cess until 3 80 this afternoon was car
ried by narrow margin and the
members hurried from the capitol just
in time to get the last cars.
1t was talked by the Evans men
after they had left the capitol that if
they could have forced another ballot
they would have had a majority for
their candidate. That the opposing
forces feared some such denouement
was indicated by their evident desire
to postpone further action until they
can make a readjustment of their
plans.

Actual changes take place in the little
corpuscles of the blood, and these
changes are brought about by changes
in our habits For instance, the coffee
habit is said to produce a thickened con-
ditfon of the blood; that is, under the
microscope the little round corpuscies
show apparent ibres. an unnatural con-
dition, which makes trouble with the
heart in cases Of coffee poisoning. It
also affects the complexion, frequently
bringing on heart disease in some cases.

common with coffee drinkers.

coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee

1t will be noticed that it took some
months before this woman secured the
result she wanted in the matter of COM

made the recovery was very rapid.

NJ KINLEY'S TOPEKA DAY
Will Probably Not Be Here I'm
til May or June.

Congressman Charles Curtis today re-
ceived a dispatch from George B. Cor
telyou. President McKinley's private
secretary. saying that the itinerary of
the cities to be visited by the president
on his western trip had not yet been ar
ranged definitely and therefore no in
formation concerning the time of his
stop in Topeka could be given.
The president will start his trip
about the first of May and the only
dates thu are as yet permanently
agreed upon are at New Orleans and
San Francisco
MY opinion, said Mr.. Curtis, 'is that
the stop will be made in Topeka on toe
return trip from the Pacific coast. If
such be the case Topeka viii probably
not have the pleasure of entertaining the
president until about the last of May or
the first of June.
At the next meeting of the CONNER
cial club Wednesday night plans for the
reception will be one Of the important
items for consideration Elaborate ar
engagements will be made for the enter
tainment Of the presidential party and
committee to -superintend the arrange
ments will soon be put to work.
