A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The SUM-

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have entirely
eaten away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure,
while ptste and Ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and ex-
perienced practitioner who has for
many years made a close study and
speciality Of the treatment of CA
TARRH, has at last perfected a treat
ment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stol ping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy Is known as "Snuffles the

A Spelling Dec.

Some of you who think you are well
up in spelling just try to spell the
words in this little sentence:
1T is agreeable to witness the un-
paralleled ecstasy Of two harassrd ped
dlers endeavoring to gauge the sym
metry of two peeled pears"
Read it over to your friends and see
how many of them can spell every
word correctly. The sentence contains
many of the real puzzlers of the spell
ing bOOk.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Liz Master. Like Man.

In 1914 Baron Stieglitz. in st. Peters
burg. went to great expense to have
the news of the treaty of peace con-
Veyed to him by a private courier a
few hours before it came to the knowl-
edge of the government. He therefore
gained few hundred thousand rubles.
But his porter. to whom he communi-
Gated the news. tried, his hand at lit
tie speculation of his own. In an hour
or two he bought up all the lamps he
could find in st. Petersburg. so that in
the evening. when the whole city was
making ready for the illumination, not
a single lamp was to be found in any
of the shops. The crafty porter now
sold out his stock at a price which left
him a nice little profit of $4,000 rubles.
