if you, my hOnored sir, don't suck
seed in so mutilatin' that precious
old document over which there
wuz so many tears shed and for
which the best blood of the BRAY

split; if you an yore congress
don't suckseed in destroyin' the
sperit of that document until some
of these mornins our country
walks up without any constitu-
shun; until that time comes | shall
have the right of a citizen of the
land and as an onest filler of the
soil to address you on any ques-
ton that | feel it my duty as a
citizen land a tackspayer also) to
address you on; or any other ques-
ton, for that matter.
The first matter is of personal
nature and trust yore honor will

Fifth wards, the smallest under the
present system, will be consolidated
into one, making the total number Of
wards seven, in accordance with the
provisions of the new code. While
the Republicans may have a shade the
better Of 1t, from "A partisan stand
point, the ground will always be
debatable in city elections, with
chances almost invariably in favor Of
the best men. The prompt decision
arrived at In this matter practically
disaisses all possibilities for long
drawn out season of dissension and
discomfort, with the matter operating
as a partisan measure, and it is hoped
that the Salaries committee will be

reaching decision fair and reasonable

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary In Order TO
Cure Catarrh.

The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is a change Of
climate, is a mistake because catarrh
is found in all climates in all sections
Of the country; and even IL change
of climate. should benefit for a time
the catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do it is
to destroy or remove from the system
the catarrhal germs which cause all
the mischief.
The treatment by inhalers. sprays.
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless In making permanent
cure, as they do not reach the seat
Of disease, which is in the blood and
can be reached only by an internal
remedy which acts through the stom-
ach upon the blood and system gen.
orally.
A new discovery which is meeting
with remarkable success In curing
catarrh of the head. throat and
bronchial tubes and also catarrh of
the stomach, is sold by druggists
under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant
and harmless to take owe their eff
cheney to the active medicinal prin-
cipIes Of Blood Root, Red Gum and
new specific called Guaiacol, which to-
gether with valuable antiseptics are
combined In convenient, palatable tab
let form, and as valuable for children
as for adults.
Mr.. A. X. Fernbank of Columbus,
o., says: 81 suffered SO many win
matter Of course, and that nothing
would cure 1t except a change of eli
mate, which my business affairs would
not permit me to take.
My nostrils were almost always
clogged up; I had to breathe through
the mouth causing an infamed. irri-
tated throat. The thought of eating
breakfast often nauseated me and the
catarrh gradually getting into my
stomach took away my appetite and
digestion.
Ny druggist advised me to try a
80 cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, because he said he had so many
customers who had been cured Of
catarrh by the use of these tablets,
that he felt he could honestly rec
ommend them. 1 took his advice and
used several boxes with results that
surprised and delighted me-
always keep box OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets in the house and the
whole family use them freely on the
first appearance of a cough or cold
In the head.
With our children we think there is
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets to ward off croup
and colds and with older people /
have known Of cases where the hear.
ing had been seriously impaired by
chronic catarrh cured entirely by this
new remedy.

She was too short, you see;
With Mabel Wright things all went
wrong.
We never could agree.
Then there was awkward Mary Blue,
Who was SO very green;
And Bessie Goode would never do,
Because she was SO mean.

Because she wouldn't write;
And, after just one day, 1 freed
Myself from Nellie Knight;

Must seek another mate;
And gave up Edith Early too.
Because she came down late.
Miss Wood possessed an iron will;
Miss Gay was always sad;

She said my jokes were bad;
Miss Rich was destitute of tin;
Too melting was Miss Frost;

Septimus Winner, the author Of
Listen to the Mocking Bird" died a
few days ago in Philadelphia, but
his song win live on and on, despite
the fact that he received only $50
for writing it. However, to say that
he got only $50 for the production
is wrong, because it won for him ever
lasting fame, the melody having en-
teied into the hearts of the people al
most as deeply as Home, Sweet
Home" The author didn't write the
song with view to making fortune;
1t was the honest outpouring of "a
heart that sympathized with the beau
tiful in the simpler haunts and walks
OF life. Today songs are written to
sell, and some of the authors would
be offended by such an offer as $50, but
In comparison with Listen to the
