FORESTERS WIN
IMPORTANT SUIT
Judge Seawell Renders
an Opinion of Great
interest.
Decision Covers Troublesome
Question Concerning
Delinquencies.

Judge Seawell yesterday denied n mo-
ton for a new trial of the suit inst-
tuted by Mrs. Sophia Luhrs against Court
Star of the Mission of the Ancient Order
of Foresters for SIS, which the bylaws
of the Court provides should be paid to
the widow of financial member at the
time of his death.
Mrs. Luhrs is the widow of F. Luhrs,
who died in March, 1899. The Foresters
refused to pay her on the ground that
Luhrs at the time of his death owed
thirteen weeks dues, and in consequence
was not financial member. Mrs. Luhrs
accordingly entered suit in the JUS
tees court for the amount, but lost her
case. An appeal was taken and Judge
Seawell in denying the motion for new
trial sustained the decision Of the lower
court.
The motion for a new trial was based
on the ground that ''F. Luhrs died after
the meeting night of the month subse-
quent to which month the forfeiture OF
benefits was to attach under defendants S
bylaws" and that "the evidence was in
sufficient to justify the finding that the
decedent did not pay the arrears of his
said monthly contributions. amounting to
thirteen weeks" new trial was also
asked for on the ground that Luhrs was
not notified of his suspension for non
Judge Seawell holds that 1.-The loss Of
the rights to benefits is not dependent up
on the suspension of member but upon
his delinquency in the payment of dues,
and that "a member is suspended wheth-
er he have notice not
The decision of Judge Seawell also COW
ers the much-mooted question of the time
when dues for month become delin-
quent. Judge Seaweil held that the
word owing may be properly used to
Indicate present obligation which is
payable in the future" and that the
dues for March are owing on the first
meeting night in March but are payable
on any meeting night in that month"
Judge Seawell also held that the mere
owing of three months dues is enough to
deprive a member of benefits and that
the bylaws were not intended to require
that he should owe more" than three
months dues.
Judge Seawells opinion sustains the ac-
ton taken by the Subsidiary High Court
of FOresters in similar cases.

ADVERTISEMENTS
A FEW REASONS
Which Are Rapidly Making a New
Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure, has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies:
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an import
ant point when 1t is recalled that many
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this rem
edy does not deteriorate with age or an
exposure to the air, as liquid preparations
invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties, but it is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that it is only a question
of time when the tablet will entirely su-
persede liquid medicines as it has al
ready done in the medical department of
the United States army
Next: No secret is made of the comDo-
sition Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets: thew
contain the active principles of Eucalyp-
tus bark, red gum, blood root and Hy-
drastin, all harmless antiseptics which.
however, are death to catarrhal germs
wherever found, because they eIinf1afe
them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh by To-
cal applications to the nose and throat
because these are simply local synntoms
and such treatment can not possibly
reach the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is in the blood; for this reason, in
halers, douches, sprays and powders new
er really cure catarrh, but simply give
temporary relief. which dose Of plain
salt and water will do just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the svs-
tenn, out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is the
only kind which can be assimilated into
the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known to
modern science in the antiseptic form of
the disease
Next: The use of inhalers, and spray
ing. apparatuses, besides being ineffective
and disappointing, is expensive while a
complete treatment Of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets can be had at any drug store in
the United States and Canada for 20
