passage are generally those who could,

lar. to say the least, is tl,is-people will
buy the cheapest price ticket, say a so

a CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
Ono Very Conn mon Cause Generally
s.. !. SlYarlu1ke ed.

overlooked.
Headache Is q symptom. an Indication
Of dsrangement or disease In some or
gan, and the cause Of the headache is
difficult to locate because SO many dis |
eases have headache as prominent
symptom: arrangement OF the stomach
and liver. heart trouble. kidney disease.
lung trouble, eye strain or ill-ftting
glasses all produce headaches, and If we
could always locate the organ which Is
at fault the cure Of obstinate headaches
would be a much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of the
eyes and in the forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
end throat; when the headache is To-
Gated in the back OF the head and neck
it is often caused from catarrh of the
stomach or liver.
AT any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause Of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis
appearance of the headaches
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. a new Internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of an
tseptics like eucalyptol suaiacol and
blood root, which act upon the blood
and cause the elimination of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system thru the
natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley prominent school
teacher in one Of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets as cure for them. She.
says: II suffered daily from severe from
tai headache and pain in and back of
the eyes, at times SO intensely as to In
capacitate me in my daily duties. had.
suffered from catarrh. more or less. for
years. but never thought 1t was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case,
because the headaches were always
worse whenever had a cold or fresh
attack OF catarrh.
'Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
reconme nded to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure and after using few
EO-cent boxes which procured from my
druggists ! was surprised and delighted
70 find that both the catarrh and head
aches had gone for good.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at 30 cents per package, un-
Ger the guarantee of the proprietors that
trey contain absolutely no cocnine
lfound in so many catarrh cures), no
opium $50 common in cheap cough
cures. nor any harmfulsdrug They con
tain simply the wholesome antiseptics
necessary to destroy and drive from tho
system the germs of catarrhal disease.

THE ROSARY OF A RAMBLER.


The passing. of Victoria has marked an
era in tbs progress of the world and i.
is little wonder that the papers and the
magazines have been filled and Will be-
for days TO come with eulogles of the
woman, who longer than any other has
..eigned wisely and well over the great
est kingdom IN all the world. That VIC
toria was a brilliant woman there will
be no one TO Declare; that she was d
wise and great woman (Which is radi-
Hcally different from being brilliantly
there are many who Will believe. But
there is one phase of the life and work
OF the queen who lies dead among her
subjects that can not be emphasized
leo strongly. There are none 10 dis
lutte the purity of her life and the no.
sbility of her womanhood. Thousands
ard thousands of women there are in.
every walk of life, who have lived lives
no less pure and noble than that of hers.
Yet, for that reason the value of her
life is not to be underestimate, for it
is fact which those with only a casual
knowledge of history must perceive that
the queens of Kingdoms have not always
been queens of womanhood Zenobia
was a ruler of brilliant parts. yet her
friends and admirers can not uphold
everything in her life: and Elizabeth
was called the good" yet the Irritation
With Leicester and the pathetic death of
Amy Robson have not left untainted her
name. Victoria had nothing iii common
with such women. and tho she showed
neither the brilliancy nor the power
which characterized them, she per-
formed a greater work, not for her court
alone. but for every court of the world.
