CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
OYer-Looked.

Headache is a symptom, an indication
of arrangement or disease in some organ,
and the cause of the headache is difficult
to locate because so many diseases have
headaches as a prominent symptom; de-
rangensent of the stomach and liver,
heart trouble, kidney disease, lung
trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting glasses,
all produce headaches, and if we could
always locate the organ which is at fault
the cure of obstinate headaches would
be 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 and
throat; when the headache is located in
back of head and neck it is often caused
from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause Of such headaches and the cure
of the catarrh causes prompt disap-
pearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of
antiseptics like eucalyptol, guaiacol and
blood root which act upon the blood and
cause the elimination of the catarrhal
poison from the system through the nat
ural channels

speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogiZes Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets as cure for them. She
says: 81 suffered daily from severe
frontal headache and pain in and back
of the eyes. at times so intensely as to
incapacitate me in my daily duties
had suffered from catarrh. more or less
for years, but never thought it was the
cause of my headaches, but finally be-
came convinced that such was the case
because the headaches were always worse
whenever I had cold or fresh attack Of
catarrh. -~ -@
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as a safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure, and often using a few
fifty-cent boxes which l procured from
my druggists / was surprised apd de-
lighted to find that both the catarkh and
headaches had gone for good"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty cents per package
under the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
(found in so many catarrh cures). no
opium $50 common in cheap cough cures9I
nor any harmful drug They contain
simply the wholesome antseptics neces-
sary to destroy and drive from the sys-
TEN the germs of catarrhal disease.

question of selling the horses was
brought up in Fayetteville it came over
him like g flash that this would be a

MEETING OF DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
chairman Simmons Writes Letter to All the
Members About the Meeting.

Chairman Simmons, as already pub
meeting of the State Executive Com
| mittee to be held in Raleigh, on the 25th
| of March. The letter sent to each men,
Der of the committee is as follows:
Washington, y. c., FEBRUARY "a, 1902.
Sir: There will be a meeting of the
State Executive and Central Commit
tees in the city of Raleigh on March
18th.
/ have called this meeting of the COM
mittee because there are many questions
of party policy which should receive at
this time, in my JUDGMENT, consideration
from the committee; especially ques-
lions corrected with the payment of poll
tax, now made a condition to the eXer-
else of suffrage in the State, and the
method of selecting United States Sena-
tor, as we'll as questions connected with
providing machinery of the organization
of the new Senatorial, Judicial and Con-
gressional districts. 1t is also believed
that this meeting, though held a long
time before the election, should settle
State Convention.
1t is very important that there should
be full attendance upon this meeting
and l earnestly request that you attend.
If, however, for any reason that is inn
practicable, L suggest that you give your
proxy to some representative Democrat
from your section who will attend. It
is very much better, in my Judgment,
that proxies should be held by persons
from the section in which the commit
tee resides than by persons living in
other sections of the State.
On account of the number and inn
portance of questions to be considered
at this meeting of the committee / think
there should be a session beginning
about four o'clock on the 25th, so that
there may be ample time for a full dis
cussion and consideration of these ques-
lions.
/ have addressed letters to all the
chairmen of the County Executive Com
mittees, urging upon them the import
ance of looking after the payment of
poll tax by Democrats. / nave done this
because of information that, while our
enemies were looking closely after this
matter in some sections, our friends
were neglecting to give it proper atten-
ton. / wish now to suggest to you, az
have suggested to the county chairmen,
that you do whatever, in your JUDGMENT.
is best to arouse an interest in this
subject in your county or section, and
that especially you urge the local news
papers circulating in your section to
bring the Importance of this subject to
the attention of their subscribers in
every issue from now until the first of
May. l would suggest that you write
as many letters as may be to the promi-
nent men in the counties around you
that have no 1nemher of the State COM
mittee, and to prominent Democrats in
the different voting precincts in your
county, urging them to look carefully
after the payment of poll tax in their
county or community. / am

inspiration to all. but we bow in humble
submission to the action of the Lord
and Father Of us all, who doeth all
things well, and who cuts no man down
untimely.
That we commend to the anguished
souls Of our brothers loved ones the
consolation of the holy scriptures, and
cherishing with them the memory Of his
beautiful home life as precious heri-
tage, and feeling for them the tenderest
sympathy and Drctherly love- we united
ly pray that the Great Physician of
Souls may bind up their broken hearts
and even strengthen their confidence and
faith in Him and in his ever present
love.
That we thank God for the noble Chris
tian life of our brother Toon, in whose
death the State of North Carolina has
lost one of her bravest, wCrthiest, most
loved men; and we commend to the
world his example as a Christian states
man, whose heart was the home Of he
roism, whose mind was a temple bf wis
dom, and whose whole soul was possess
ed with the lofty purpose of uplifting
his fellow men.

WILL BE TRIED.
Court-Martial to Be Appointed in Case
of Capt. H. E, Smith.

The Secretary of War has directed the
preparation of charges against Capt Harry
+. Smith of the Coast Artillery, stationed
at Fort McHenry. Maryland. of conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman,
and court-martial will be appointed for
his trial Capt Smith was recently exam
ined by retiring board. and was recon-
mended for retirement on the ground that
he was united for active service.
Secretary Root disapproved the findings
of the board, and directed that Capt. Smith
be tried by court-martial. In taking this
action the Secretary made the following
cauStic comments on the recommendation
of the retiring board:
The evidence before the board, not con-
tradicted, but practically admitted by the
officer, shows that he was suffering from
chronic alcoholism. and that upon at least
one recent occasion he has been drunk on
duty.
These are not grounds for placing an
officer on the retired list and supporting
him the rest of his life in idlenesS at the
grounds for Diminishing him from the SER
vice which he has diSgraced; nor does it
furnish any reason for keeping such an
officer under Observable and treatment for
and severe discipline is called for and
nothing else.
My observation has sa tisfed me that the
standard of sobrfety and good personal
habits among the officers of the army is
very high, but it would not long remain so
or disposed of in the manner which has
been proposed in this case. Officers who
observe such cases and fail to report them
promptly for discipline are remiss in the
performance of their duties and | desire
the army to understand that they will be
SO construed.
