1T is IMPORTANT
10 Know What You Are Taking Wher
Usinu Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to con-
sumption, and the importance OF carry
snd judicious treatment of catarrh,
whether located in the head, throat or
bronchial tubes. can not be too strongly
emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms In when
they are administered, numerous and
confusing, from sprays, inhalers, WASH
es, ointments and salves to powders,
liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and most effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh REM
edies 1t is almost entirely matter OF
guess work as to what you are taking
. into your system, as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medicines will do, always
keep it a close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity of the
new eatarrh cure. Stuart's Catafrh
Tablets, is largely because it not only
cures catarrh, but because catarrh sur
ferers who used these tablets KNOW
what they are taking into their sys-
TENS. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets being
composed oil req gum, Dioou toot aAe-
similar valuable and antisepttc ingredi-
siits, and are pleasant to the taste ana
being dissolved in the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lin
ing of the throat, nasal passages and
whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short of re-
Iaarlkable, and the advantage of know
ing what you are putting into your
stomach is of paramount Importance
when 1t is remembered that the CO.
caine or morphine habit has been fire.
quently contracted as the result of US
ing secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, be-
cause their antiseptic character renders
them perfectly safe for the general
Public to use and their composition
makes them common sense cure for
all forms of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for fuli-sized packages.

cial meeting of the Iowa City presby-
terry was held at this place to act on
the dissolution of the pastoral relations
hitherto existing between Rev. Monroe

support of his family. no eggs in the
house for year; seldom tea, coffee or
fresh meat of any kind; that he had
offered her personal violence. and had
subjected her to a series of petty perse-
cutions for years. After the reading OF
her communication Mr.. Drew offered to
surrender his ordination papers, which
the moderator told him he could not
accent while charges were pending, and
that he would be compelled to stand
trial.
Hence committee with DR.. Donald
son. of Davenport at the head, was ap-
pointed to formulate charges and gel
| the case in readiness for trial. The
other members of the committee, so far
as 1t has been possible to learn Them
are DR.. Elliott. of Muscatine; Rev. Gro
cir. of Keota, and two elders of the
church. William Smouse. of Washc-
ington, and Mr.. Mills, of Davenport. A
special trial presbytery is called to
meet at this place on Tuesday, Dec. 20
/ at which time Mr.. Drew's trial will be-
gin.

Muscatine, Dec. ia project that is

planning to fit up '.Rest Rooms" in the

pose of affording place for strangers
and people coming to the city to spend

lfshed and kept up in Burlington, DAY.
export and other cities of that size, and
wherever established they have been a
benefit to the community, and have
been run successfully.
1t will be remembered that at the
time the description of the plans for
the new Y. M. G. A. building We're
published they provided for two rooms
on the south side Of the building
towards the front, which were easy of
access from the side entrance on the
south side. They could also be en-
tered from other portions of the build
ing. No definite plans had been pro-
posed as to the use of the rooms, but 1t
was thought that perhaps in one would
be fitted up a restaurant, so that the
boys who had been exercising in the
gymnasium OF playing games who de-
sired lunch could secure the same
here at nominal cost and not have to
go to any outside place.
The ladies of the federation have
been thinking that perhaps 1t would be
in the province of their work to take
this matter in hand. and in conjunction
with the Y. NJ. c. A. aid in the estab-
l1shment of REST Rooms" using these
two rooms in the new building. The
rooms would be admirably located just
at the edge Of the business district, and
convenient to the ladies of the country
and surrounding towns who make Mus
catine their trading center. If arranged
as in other cities, one lady would
have charge of the rooms each day.
Chairs, couches and settees would be
provided for those ayailing themselves
CT the rooms. Lunches could be eaten
here and lunches served at cost, 1T not
being the intention of making this a
money making affair. 1t would also
provide good place for ladies who &C
company their husbands to the city to
remain while the men are completing
their business transactions. 1t would
also afford meeting point for ladies in
the city or out of the city.

The ladies here have been Invests

afternoon Secretary Nevius, of the Z.
M. C. A., met with the club and ex-
planned to the members of the fedora
ton the nature and size OF the rooms,
as well as the plan of the association.
1t may be that the restaurant feature
will work with and in conjunction with
the plans of the ladies. The president
of the federation, Mrs. Cora Weed, has
written to several parties, where rest
rooms are now established, and where
they have proven to be great successes.
