A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; de- rangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trou- ble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could al- ways locate the organ which is at fault the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter.
 However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head, anO throat; when the headache is located In back of head and neck 1t is often caus- ed from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure or the catarrh causes a prompt disappear ance of the headaches.
 There Is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti septics like red gum, blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimi- nation of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: T suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapa- ctate me in my daily duties. had suf- fered from catarrh. more or less for years but never thought 1t was the cause of my headaches but finally became con- vinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse when ever I had a cold or fresh attack of ca- tarrh.
 "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas ant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty cent boxes which I procured from my druggists I was surprised and de- lighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good"
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package. un- der the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine Hound in so many catarrh cures) no opium (so common in cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptic necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease.

Decision of Supreme Court fa-
 vorable to Judge
OPINION WAS UNANIMOUS
Charges That Defendant Received Fees to Which He Was Not Enti- tied Are Not Sustained By High
 est Authorities in Alabama.

Montgomery, December 5.-(Spe'~al)- The Supreme court today handed down its decision in the impeachment case against Probate Judge Lovejoy denying the application for his removal.
 The court says: Upon consideration of the evidence in this case we are satis- fled beyond a reasonable doubt that the respondent as probate judge of Etowah county charged and received fees or com legged in the information to which he was not entitled under the law, but we are not satisfied that he charged and received such fees or compensation cor ruptly in any instances nor are We satis- fled beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent was guilty of the wilful neg lect of duty charged in one or more of the specifications of the information.
 We, therefore, find and conclude that the respondent is not guilty as charged in the information and judgment is render ed and will be entered accordingly.
 The court was unanimous in It's opinion.
 To Discontinue Office.
  uary 1 discontinue Montgomery as gen. eral distributing point and will divide up it's present territory between the offices at New Orleans. Birmingham and Alt lanta. Montgomery will become a local point and some twenty odd employees will either move to other offices or lose out. Most of them are expected to lose. as the consolidation is ID the interest of econ omy.
 Hill May Resist.
 It is currently reported that w. w. Hil, assistant solicitor, may resist being suc- ceeded in that office by Temple Seibels, the appointee of Mir. Hugh Dent the new solicitor. The idea Is put forward that, having been appointed by Lomax, he holds for the term for which MT. Lomax himself was elected. The assistant so- licitor of this county is appointed under a special act and not under the code, which is clear on the subject MT Hill was asked about 1t and said he had not yet sufficiently examined the law as to be certain just what his rights are.
