Its True Character.
Catarrh Is Not a Local Disease.

Although physicians have known for years
that catarrh was not a local disease but con-
stitutional or blood disorder, yet the mass OF
the people still continue TO believe 1t is simply
a local trouble and try TO cure 1t with purely
local remedies. like powders, snuffs, ointments
and inhalers. -
These local remedies, IL they accomplish any
thing at all, simply give a very temporary re-
lief and 1t is doubtful II permanent cure Of
catarrh has ever been accomplished by local
sprays, washes and inhalers. They may clear
the mucous membrane from the excessive Sc
erection but it returns in few hours as bad as
ever and the result can hardly be otherwise
because the blood is loaded with catarrhal
poison and 1t requires argument to convince
anyone that local washes and sprays have alb
solutely no effect or the blood.
Dr. Ainsworth says, II have long since dis
continued the of sprays and washes for
catarrh of head and throat, because they sim
ply relieve and do not cure.
For some time past 1 have used only one
treatment for all forms OF catarrh and the
results have been uniformly good. the remedy
1 use and recommend is Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets, a pleasant and harmless preparation sold
by druggists at Soc, but my experience has
proven one package Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
to be worth dozen local treatments.
The tablets are composed of Hydrastin, San
guinaria, Red Gum, Gualacol and other safe
antiseptics and any catarrh sufferer use
them with full assurance that they contain no
poisonous opiates and that they are the most
reasonable and successful treatment for radical
cure of catarrh at present known to the pro-
fession.'

mouth and reach the delicate membranes of
throat and trachea, and Immediately relieve
any irritation, while their final action the
blood removes the catarrhal poison from the
whole system. All druggists sell them at soc.
for. complete treatment.

INQUIRY DEPARTMENT.

d. B. s., Bryant. Ga.-What do you con-
slider the best method Of harvesting pea
vine hay? Is Il possible to save the hay IL
baIed Immediately after IL is cut? Name
some method Of saving IL in case of bad
weather soon after cutting. Answer
through Semi-Weekly Journal.
Answer-I have been cutting and cur
ing crops Of peavine hay for the past 20
years and have no recollection of ever
having lost a crop within that time. I al
ways notice my weather reports about the
time the vines are ready TO be harvested,
that is when the pods are about three
fourths ripe.
When the weather is likely TO be open
and clear for three or four days, i have
the vines moved when the dew is OF.
They are permitted to- lie as cut for IS
hours. when they are naked into win
drows and hauled TO the barn or stack
pale, and firmly packed down as they are
unloaded The vines will cure up nicely II
packed down hard and firm and will not
mould. have never tried baling green
pearines and would not recommend baling
them until the vines had wilted in the
sunshine for a day or two. II the vines
should be cut in wet weather I would
put in stack poles same as for fodder,
mailing cleats across them three or four
feet apart and fork the vines up around
the poles until they were thoroughly
dried out. The pieces OF plank nailed cross
wise on the poles would hold the vines
apart nicely and permit circulation Of air.
II viii not do 20 pack down wet peavines.
The rainwater viii cause mill dew or
rot, and endanger the lives OF stock fed
on it, Cut the vines when the pods are
about three-fourths ripe and not much
trouble will be experienced in curing
them in anything like fair weather, &C
cording TO the plans suggested. Peavine
hay is well worth all the care and atten-
ton necessary TO its proper cure and care.

to whom it pleaded lay in a pool of blood
upon the floor her pulses throbbing, her
eyes closed and her ears deaf to song or
sob.
Again it was night Again the light
burned dimly in the hoYel. and sad faced
woman sat in silence beside the bed of her
babe. A livid cash was upon her fore
head, the glare of fever was in her eyes,
and, in her heart, was the poison of de-
spair. But patiently she sat beside her
child, tanning it, pushing the ringlets
back from its flushed forehead, listening
to its means.
Again and again she went 20 the win
dow and gazed anxiously out into the
blackness; no footsteps entered the
gate. Monotonously the long hours fol-
lowed one another into the past, and at
last the east grew gray with the promise
of a dawning.
Gradually the great city awoke to life
and energy and action. Wagons rumbled
along the streets; dense clouds of smoke
arose from chimneys Another day, was
come.
And still the baby moaned and tossed
in sleep; and still the tired mother sat
beside him, nursing her sorrow and her
pain-and on her lips a prayer, but no
complaint.
When the sun at last was high IN tine
heavens a man came down the alley. He
wore the blue of an officer, and he turned
in at the gate. Loudly he knocked on the
door with his club and the woman opened
it. her face pale, her eyes staring.
Your mans in the lookup at the Cen
trail station" the policeman said, blunt
ly, "and he wants to SEE you"
''My man? In the lockup?" gasped the
woman, pressing her hand to her breast.
''What-whats he been doin'?"

officer. "He held a duffer up, but got
ketched. He's a bad 'un. Yves been

Swollen Leg In Horse.

Mr.. Hunt-Dear Sir: I wet sponges in
vinegar and bound them with horse leg
bandages to my horses ankle as you d.
reeted. 1t takes the swelling out, but
when let him stand all night without
the bandage the swelling comes back,
not as large as 1t was at first, but too
large to look we'll. He is not lame any
more.
Now, wish 10 know, If you please,
whether a permanent cure of the swelling
can be effected by further bandaging. If
so, about how long will I have 20 con-
tinue II do you think? look at 1t so
often that / cannot say whether it is
gradually going down or not. know Ii

little of being natural in size. BY an
swering you will greatly oblige, yours re-
spectfully, J. }. A
Newborn, Ga.
I do not know the age OF the horse. If
a young animal it is likely the swelling
under careful treatment will entirely dis
appear in time. Our correspondent gets
habit Of mind that prevents his point of
view being a Just one. He has seen and
thought of that swollen leg until he can
not see II as it really Is, but he sees 1t as
his mind pictures 1t. All that Is necessary
is to attend to the general health of the
horse and the leg will take care OF IT.
self, now the lameness Is over and the
swelling mostly gone.
The correspondent can omit bandaging
for a month and see how the leg acts. II
Il continues to improve without treat
ment let It alone. II 1t does not do well,
20 back to the former treatment, which
appears to have been successful
In my own experience have had driv-
ing horses on the hard roads Of New
York that after long drive always need
ed to have their legs bandaged. These
horses lived and died with practically
sound legs, hence the matter is not one
upon which too much anxiety need be
expended.
In medicine, veterinary surgery and in
all pursuits good judgment is the final
arbiter. 1 think this case in good hands
and I will ask the correspondent TO let
we'll enough alone. g. w. ID.
Cow Pox,

teats are broken out in sores perfectly
raw. Old skin peeled of. Have to hold
her to let calf suck. Please name dis
ease and give nemedy. e X. w.

Answer: There is no medicine known
that will cure eow-pox. 1 would anoint
the sores with glycerine so parts. water
40 parts, carbolic acid 10 parts. Mix and
apply.
The mixers will carry the disease to all
your other cows without they d1sinfeet
their hands thoroughly. The milk of
COWS affected with cow-pox should not be
used. The disease will run its course IN
from to weeks, without your mixers
carry it from COW to COW, as your herd
comes in fresh. In such a case it may
troihIe a dairy for months at a time.

PICKED UP ROPE WITH
MULE TIED TO END

Joe Gauley. of Waycross. Ga, is in
trouble and an aged and infirm mule is
the cause of II all. Gauley picked up a
rope while at Waycross several days ago
and a mule was tied to the, other end of
the rope.
When Gauley saw he had captured a
mule he bargained with another man and
soon disposed of the animal for SO and a
bicycle. The mule remained i'm Waycross
in the possession of the purchaser, while
Joe shipped the bicycle to Atlanta and
then followed ii himself.
VITA the 50 in his possession joe was
taking in the sights of the city when
information reached the police that he
was wanted in Waycross for hauling, off
the mule with a rope and selling the ami

soon at headquarters. A deputy sheriff

age makes It impossible to keep up a
fairly good flow of milk until the cows
are turned to grass.
Not only do the animals do better when
the best forage is retained for spring
months but the animals seem to be in bet
ter condition for making satisfactory
gains when turned onto pasture. This is
reasonable. for this kind of forage is sim
lar in composition to grass. consequently
when the change from winter to spring
feed comes. there is but slight difference
in lne character of the food.
Early in the winter animals are in bet
ter condition 10 consume and make use
OF the more mature fodder crops. This is
due partially to the appetite being keen
er during cold, crisp weather, and the d.
gestive organs being In more healthy
condition. Where q large amount OF hay
Is to be put up, It is of course difficult
to cut II all when in bloom, but every
EFFORT should be made to harvest as much
as possible at that stage.

Mr.. Watt was a great sufferer from

He was very much used up, and al
though he had tried a great many
things, he had found nothing that
would in any way relieve him. Some
one suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he used six boxes, and was COM
pletely cured.
His first thought was for brother
in Belfast, Ireland, whom he knew to
be afflicted in the same way that
he had been. Mr.. Watt Immediately

to this far-away brother, together
with his recommendation based on
his fortunate experience.
