EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT.

EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT.
The cuisine and table service of the
Tampa Bay Hotel has no superior in
any resort in the country. No pains
are spared to procure delicaCics from
every part of the world, In and out
of season. The hotel is under the cx-
elusive management of Colonel A. r.
Dick. of New York, with y. w
Swope as chief clerk This is suffici-
ent evidence of its skillful manage
ment, when the history of these two
ConnOisseurs is made known to the
public. Both Of these gentlemen are
trained hotelmen Of the first order and
of great experience. Colonel Dick, the
genial manager, has the reputation OF
being everywhere present"--in the
rotunda, the drawing room, the dim
ing hail. even about the corridors and
the grounds, and with a cheerful face
and manner entertaining and looking
after the interests of the guests, while
at the office is Mr.. Swopc, ever ready
| to recognize his old friends and pat
rOns, and sec they are properly as
signed and cared for and made to feel
at home. Mr.. SWOpe was formerly
chief clerk and manager of the West
| minister Hotel of New York, where he
| was so we'll and favorably known by
| guests from Scranton and Honesdale
and where today he has many friends

| Northern cities and seaside resorts.
| He is the proprietor of the famous

Hon. David Meekison is we'll known. not only in his own State, but through out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which J he lives, during which tim~he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by very large majority, and is the ac- knowiedged leader of his party in his section of the State.
 Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of th;srising states man. Catarrh with ii insidious ap- proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waaed unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. Al last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result:
 ''Ihave used several bottles of Peru na and feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrhs of the head. l feel encouraged believe that ifI use 1t a short time longer 1 will be able to fully eradicate the disease of thirty years standing. Yours truly.
 David Meel<ison."
 Many people can tolerate slight ca- tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness, slight cough, cold in the head. or trifling Arrangement of the digestive organs, do not much disturb the aver age person in his business. But this is not true of the public speaker or stage artist. His voice must always be clear.
