Catarrh usually starts with a cold in
the head and if left unchecked in this
climate. rarely gets we'll of itself
AS fresh cold is taken the disease
spreads, getting deeper and deeper,
creeping along the mucous membranes
from nose to throat, from throat to
windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial
tubes and from bronchial tubes to
lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect,
one with another. Hence it is easy to
spread from one part to another lined
with this same membrane. This is why
catarrh in the head soon affects the
throat and finally the stomach itself
bringing on chronic catarrh of the
stomach, which is a most obstinate
form of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now well agreed that
catarrh is a blood disease and not d
local one, and the attempt to cure by
local applications simply gives tenn
porary relief from the purely local
symptoms without the remotest effect
in staying the progress of the disease
There is new preparation recently
offered to the public that is apparently
destined to do away with every other
form of catarrh treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret pat
ent medicine, but is a large, pleasant
tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot,
Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree,
and other valuable and harmless spe-
Gifts, which are taken internally and
seem to have a remarkably beneficial
effect upon the blood and mucous MEM
branes, apparently eliminating the
catarrhal poison from the whole sys-
tenn.
These tablets, while being pleasant,
convenient and absolutely safe to use
have made cures in long standing
cases of catarrh that are little short
of marvellous. They are sold by drug
gists under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer who
has tried inhalers, lotions, ointments,
salves, etc, and realized their incon-
venience and uselessness will fully APP
preciate the difference between mere
palliative and a permanent cure after
giving Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an
impartial trial.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized package and no matter
where the catarrh is located, in the
head, throat, lungs or stomach. Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets will surprise you
with the effective result of even a few
days use.

communicative conductor to the man

two Of them on my car yesterday, and
their game was to scare people into
thinking that they We're just recover
ing from smallpox. They talked loud
ly about it for the benefit of the other
passengers, and the more nervous
ones, especially the women began to
grow apprehensive.
Yes said one, my case was a
pretty bad one, the doctors said
$50 was mine replied the other
fellow. 1t seems good to get out of
the Municipal Hospital, doesn't it?'
That's what it does, said the first
one.
Sitting next to them was a man
who had been taking it all in. At this
point he leaned over and said:
Say, when did you fellows get
out?
Only yesterday loudly remarked
one of the kidders.

A Touching Tribute.

The most touching compliment l

soprano. the other day, was paid To
me by poor old woman, who must
have amused those who heard her. l
had sung two solos at the evening
service of fashionable church, after
which boarded car. The old wom-
an, whose clothes indicated great pov-
erty, got in and sat down beside me,
her face fairly shining with pleasure as
she recognized me.
Lady, | want to tell you how l
likes your voice she exclaimed in rath-
er broken English. 1t goes right to my
heart, and makes me 50 happy, just as
if I'd heard the angels sing. thank
you.
"Of course l thanked her. but the
funny part was when the conductor
came for our fares. The old lady
counted out ten pennies before l could
pass over my nickel.
Two. Two" she said to him, as she
nodded me. L wants to, lady, for
likes your voice SO much; likes your
voice.
80. while l felt that perhaps the
poor old soul could i'll spare her extra
pennies, let he- make the sacrifice
because of the evident pleasure it gave
her. and no compliment ever received
has touched ME more deeply than her
oft repeated words, 4 likes your
voice."

lations of poverty. In an address be
fore the Society for the Study of Life
in the Tuxedo, in New York, Percival
Chubb summed up in very interesting
and original way the "misfortunes of
the children of the wealthy" Mr..
Chubb is reduced almost to tears as he
contemplates the pitiful cleanliness of
the children of the rich their "anaemic
primness' and their deprivations in the
way Of mud pies and other possessions
that delight the soul of a child. "A
good roll in the mud is what they
need" says Percival Chubb. Mud pies.
he declares, would be their salvation" 3"
There is no doubt that this question of
mud is sadly neglected in most homes
of the rich. We doubt if there is one
wealthy home in fifty where there are
children that has mud pie Attachment
or any facilities for taking n roll in the
mud. In this way the souls of the chill
dren of the rich are stunted and
dwarfed. Their development is not
normal. When they grow older they
will not know mud when they see it,
let alone be able to handle it, In the
race OF life their names will be Mud"

Praise for Patti,

Last winter Nine. Patti was staying
for few days in an isolated village at
the extreme end of Yorkshire. To kill
the monOtony of the place the prima
donna went one night to a concert Civ
en- in aid of a certain village institution.
Not half of the performers turned up.
Appreciating the difficulty, Nine.
Patti-incognita, of course-offered to
oblige the audience with a song or two.
Then she sang, in her own glorious
way, three of her sweetest ballads.
At the close the chairman approached
and, in solemn tones, thanked her.
well, miss" he said, you've done
uncommon we'll And although AIRY
'Ock, the juggler, who thinks nowt of
