CATARRH

Catarrh has become such common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is 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 and
very 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.
Saves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

Germs continue TO contribute free TO
the regular purchasers Of their goods,
premiums chat have a very substan-
tial value. It was long a popular no
tion that the goods with which pres
euts were given were necessarily Of an
inferior character and the practice
Of many firms went far TO make the
public skeptical about the quality OF
the articles offered for sale, but II
would be manifestly unjust to make
the sweeping assertion that all con
Germs having honest goods on the mar

INFORMATION FoR
HomEsTEAoERs
Many important Points Pertaining to
Land Laws Which the People
Should Know.

Homeseekers in the new lands must
remember the following
The government has carefully pro
tected itself against fraud in the distri-
button Of lands in the present open
ing, and promises to deal severely with
law breakers
False oaths taken before clerks OF
the court or the proper officers repre-
senting the government are. under

any state or territory in the Union
at the time OF taking up the new claim.
A homesteader must be at least 2l
years Of age; a citizen Of the United
States or have filed his intention Of
becoming such.
The officers OF registration at all
land offices will be closed Sundays
No certificate of ownership shall
be issued. OF patent therefor until
the expiration Of FIVE years from the
date of entry into the land unless
claims are commuted.
Occupation does not mean tempo
rary or partial occupation but actual
residence under the full meaning OF
the term. excepting in case Of govern
ment permission for temporary leave
OF absence.
Soldiers intending to make appli
cation by agent, should not depend
on blank application forms secured
from local dealers. but should avoic
embarrassment and delay by securing
official blanks from Governor Rich
ards at El Reno
No distinction can be made on ac
count of race or color of applicant
Actual occupation Of property SC
cured under homestead laws must be
gin within six months after land
taken.
In grazing districts, cattle raisin
is considered actual occupation
Homesteads are not liable for sal
lsfaction of debts contracted prior [
issuance Of patents.
A homesteader must abide by hi
choice of land.
Abandonment of land for more tina
six months without government pc
mission forfeits all rights to the prol
