Not Necessary IN Order TO Cure Catarrh.

climate, but the only way to do IL is
90 destroy or remove from the system
The catarrhal germs which cause all
the mischief.
rne treatment by inhalers. sprays.
powders. and washes has been proven
almost useless in making a 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 stomach upon
the blood and system generally.

remarkable success in curing catarrh Of

Sunday, however. is the great day Of
the week. Not by any means day given
to m!rth or sport, for the boats are all
anchored and all of the islanders are at
home for the purpose OF attending
church, and there is service OF some
kind for nearly every hour of the day
from in the morning until twilight.
The one street at this time presents a
busy appearance. for on account of its
longsnarrow character it seems literally
crowded from the time of the tolling of
the church bell until the service has
commenced. Ali of the services seem to
be well attended and young and old are
very constant in attendance upon
church.
The final service of the day closes a
little after sunset, and at its close the
young men take the young women of
their choice and promenade the narrow
street. the only boulevard of the town.
The Washington times., 1902-08-03

There is noted an absence of the noise
and gayety that might be expected from
so many young people. AS they walk
along some of them hum selections from
the gospel hymns or converse in quiet
manner. Occasionally some young fell
low without partner stops a prome-
rading couple with the inquiry, Who's
hest2" and If the young lady desires a
change OF partners she accepts the arm
of the new conner and leaves number
cne disconsolate. but such affairs are
few and far between, and love seems to
run as smoothly as 1t might be expect
ed In Arcadia.
The promenade lasts but little time
and at early hour the street is de-
serted, for the men are obliged to be on
the grabbing grounds at an early hour
the next morning. The day of the week
fas passed and life until the next Sat-
urday afternoon will be filled with the
exciting struggle of dipping q liveli-
hood from the sea.

~ OWN in the Chesapeake Bay in
that portion called Tangier
~ Sound is situated the quaint
Island OF Tangier. an island
that is without a counterpart in th.5
country. II is Holland without its dykes
and windmills; it is Venice without
its picturesque architecture. 1t is the
most unique summer resort in all
America.
Tangier Island is situated 125 miles
south Of Baltimore, with which city it
has steamer connections twice a week.
The island is about five miles long and
three quarters Of mile in width, and
