IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When Using Catarrh
 Medicines.

Catarrh Is the short route to consump- ton, and the importance of early and judcious treatmen mt of cataFrh, whether located in the head, throat or bronchial tubes. cannot be too strongly empha. sized.
 The list of catarFEF sfEa iaAS long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered, numerous and confusing, from sprays, iuhalers, washes, ointments and salves to powders, liquids and tablets.
 The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and the most effective. but with nearly all advertised catarrh reme. dies it is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking in- to your system, as the proprietols. while making all sorts of claims as to what their medicines will do, always keep 1t a close secret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is largely because 1t not only cures catarrh but because catarrh sufferers who use these tablets know what they are taking into tn ir systems. Stuarts cRtarrh Tab let's are composed or Red Gum, Blood Root and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous ltliHB or tne throat, nasal pdbSdBeS ana whole respiratory tract
 The cures that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable. and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach Is of para. mount importance when 1t is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies
 
 dial approval from physicians, because their sntiseptic character render them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them A common sense cure for all forms of ca- tarrhal troubles.

THREATENED FAMINE WILL NOT CAUSE RAISE IN PRICE.
Montgomery Dealers Fortunate in Leying in Good Supply and Wnl 60. Be Able to Take Care
 of Situation.

While many cities throughout ssse ceun- try are facing a coal famine and fear that the extremely cold weather will cause persons to suffer. Montgomery Is ir. q very fortunate position. Coal dealers of this city report that the supplySgf fuet on hand here is amply sufficient to tide Montgomery people over the winter, and there will be no increase in the price:
 As far as Montgomery is concerned,' said large retail coal dealer xesterdays the local dealers will he able, to take care of the situation. We were fortunate in laying in heavy supplies of coal, Had it not been for this fact, there might bs suffering in the city, as the mines will close down during the holidays. Fha raIi- reads are running short on-eoal andain many instances they are conffscating shipments for their own use. Railroads frequently do this when their supply sof coal runs low. They. of course, transfer the claim of the consignee to the railroad company and use the coal in their en- zines. You can say that there will not be an increase in the price of coal to Mont, gcrnery consumers"

And what Is more becoming to skin which has lost It's youthful beauty than white hair? Would that it were more recognized that many a face, plain in under its softening and refining influence Looking around in society now reniem- Der Dickenss Mrs. Skewton. whose last words were Pink curtains for doctors.
 From personal observation should be disposed to agree generally with my cor respondent. There is, however, another side of the case which he overlooks, namely, that while many old ladies have craze for appearing young, many young ladies have craze for appearing old: While lamenting the disappearance of white hair from the heads of latter-day grandmothers he ought to take account of It's appearance upon the heads of in numeFable granddaughters. At all times have endeavored to look like young ones, but ours is the first age, so far as nave known, in which the young ones have been anxious to appear old. It cannot be true to speak of extraordinary dislike for age when so many younger women homage to hairs"
 If you come to anaIyze 1t l expect you would find that the artificial whitening of hair is prompted by a desire to jump life-middle age. The writer of the above letter Is quite right in saying that many plain woman acquires certain kind of prettiness in old age. My belief ia that almost any old woman might look pretty if she knew how to do it-provided, all ways. that she be neither abnormaliy fat nor conspicuously bad timpered. But in middle-age nature is most unkind to w0- man and I do not wonder that many who have lost the charm of youth and dislike the process of restoring 1t arti- ficially should prefer to put on the old woman prematurely.

 MT Edward Rosewater,. of The Omaha Bee, has been in Washington during the
 :'Lincoin," said Mir. Rosewater, a few nights ago, was the first President t the civil war. At that time I was in charge of the telegraph bureau Of the War Department. We were working day and night at fever heat, and when the news came of the fall of Vicksburg I rec member that we sent messenger out for can of beer. Of course, it was contrary to the rules of the ofhce % drink any thing of the sort there. but we were so exhausted, and. withal, so jubilant over slst the temptation to indulge In this refreshment.. We were passing the buck ct around when. to our astonishment and alarm, in strode the President, who had come to look over our dispatches at first hand. You can imagine our embarrass- ment. There was no use or attempting to deny or conceal. We had been caught the teIl-tale can, and although this was now practically empty. Lincoln was too shrewd a man not to know that we were all guilty of violating one of the strict he affected at first not to notice. Com ing over to my instrument he asked me to see the latest dispatch. He read 1t slowly. handed 1t back. and, turning to the messenger, who had been hoping for a favorable moment to make his escape with the can, Lincoln asked:
 What have you in that hucket?,
 Answering for the startled messen- ger, explained what we had been doing.
 Any beer left?' said the President.
 "I told him that we had drunk It all.
 Here. said Lincoln, pulling 8 @-cent piece from his pocket, go and i'll it up again So saying he turned again to the telegrams. The messenger. arrived with the beer, and MT. Lincoln locked up and told him to pass it around.
 t''Mr. President,' ventured to say, if I get glass will you not do us the great honor to share the beer with usT
 Never mind the glass, he replied; I'll drink when 1t comes my turn
 "Of course, we all insisted that he take the first drink, and with a message still clutched in his right hand telling how Grant had won the great victory, Presi- dent Lincoln grasped the bucket with both bands. and. tipping 1t up, drank
 we all believed as the President did, that the equalization of the Southern stronghold marked the turning point of the war, and after the many Northern reverses the news of so signal a triumph for the Federal arms had awakened our profoundest gratitude and patriotism. And to have our beloved President shar- ing our simple, though contraband, cele- bration was a sacred thing to us. When he had finished drinking. Mir. Lincoln handed the can to me. It is imagination nS doubt. but have never since tasted beer so refreshing as that was. and as for the can. money could have bought 1t from the messenger"

GOLD WEATHER GOES FoREcAsTER SAYS MONDAY
 WILL BE WARM. Yesterday the Thermometer Regis tered 12 Above Which is the Coldest December Day This
 section Ever Had.

The coldest weather of the season, and the coldest we have ever had before Christmas, was recorded here yesterday morning when the temperature regis tered 12 degrees above zero, nearly the exact figures predicted by the Weather Bureau.
 The crest of the cold wave was then over strip of country extending from Middle Alabama to the Ohio Valley, tenn peratures ranging from below at Cin- cinnati to 12 above in Middle Alabama, while freezing temperatures prevailed well down the Florida peninsula. The high bank of cold air will drift eastward this morning, after which 1t Is expected will warm slowly, with probably even warmer during Monday.
 The unprecedented cold spell of the past seven days has given quite setback to the holiday trade, which from now on will doubtless come in with a rush.

Pee pie having 1t think that their nerves are to hlame. are surprised that they are mol cured by nerve medicines and spring remedies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to he looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so puch as in nearly every other O. gan; in some cases the heart palpitates and Is irregu- lar, in others. the bowels are troubled, with loss of flesh and appetite, with the accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.

Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets I have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medi- cines and other remedies without any fa- Yorabie result. They sometimes give tenn porary relief until the effects of the medi. cine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being d bookkeeper. with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have over come all these obstacles. for have gain ed in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way, The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on actual facts"
