A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
pne Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked,

4
Headache is symptom, an 1ndlca-
ton of arrangement or disease IN some
organ, and the cause OF the headache Is
difficult to locate because so many ols-
eases have headache as pronnhen'
symptom; arrangement of the stomacI
and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease
lung trouble, eye strain or Ill nltihs
glasses all produce headaches, ana II
we could always locate the organ Whlcf
is at fault the cure of obstinate head-
aches 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 mead
and throat; when the headache Is To-
Gated in back of head and neck II Is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches ana the
cure of the catarrh causes prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a new inter-
nal remedy in tablet form, composed OF
anti-septics like red gum, blood root,
which act upon the blood and cause the
elimination of the catarrhal poison from
the system thru the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent
school teacher In one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogiZes
Stuart's Catarrh 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 du-
ties. l had suffered from catarrh, more
or less, for years, but never thought 1t
was the cause of my headaches, but
finally became convinced that such was
the case because the headaches We're
always worse whenever had cold or
fresh attack of catarrh.
sStuart's Catarrh Tablets were high
" recommended to me as a safe and
pleasant catarrh cure, and after using
q few SO cent boxes which procured
from my druggists, was surprised and
delighted to find that both the catarrh
and headaches had gone for good
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents per package, nn-
der the guarantee of the pro prietors
that they contain absolutely no cocaine
(found In SO many catarrh cures), no
opium ESQ common in cheap cough
cures) nor any harmful drug They
contain simply the wholesome antisep-
tics necessary to destroy and drive from
the system the germs of catarrhal dis
ease.

Work on Government Building Stopped

Work on Government Building Stopped
Creston, Dec. 2.-There will be no
more work on the new government
building until spring. When the con-
tractors failed to settle the stone ma
sons strike they ordered the carpen-
tiers to board up the openings and
cover the exposed parts Of the building
and let it stand until spring. This
will be great disappointment to the
people of Creston, as 1t was intended
to have force of men employed on
inside work all winter. The contractor
says that the building will be COM
pleted by September next year. The
stopping of the work throws about
twenty local men out of employment

A MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
No Cause Known for Niels Johansen's
Self Murder.

Special to Times Republican.
Rolfe, Dec. 1.-THE cause of the sui
eide of Niels Johansen, q farmer living
four miles from town, still remains
mystery. He had no financial difficult
ties, no trouble with any one, and was
apparently in good health, altho 1T is
said he had been taking treatment for
year or so and was not as healthy as
he appeared. Mr.. Johansen rented his
farm and lived with the tenant. He
had accumulated enough property to
live comfortably without working
About noon yesterday Mr.. Rasmussen's
family, tenants, drove to a neighbours to
visit, and when they returned in the
evening about o'clock found the life
less body of Johansen hanging to a
rafter in the hen house. He had taken
the rope from one of the halters in the
barn, put a new one in it's place, and
used the old rope to swing himself into
eternity. Circumstances show the act
had been premeditated and carefully
executed.

Carriers Under Civil Service.

According to a recent ruling, rural
free delivery carriers will be placed un-
der civil service February 1. The plan
agreed upon is that hereafter all peti-
ti0ns for the establishment Of service
must be submitted on blanks provided
for the purpose by the department. The
petitions will include nominations fol
the position Of carrier, each petitioner
having the right to make nomination
if he desires to do SO. The special agent
who reports upon the feasibility Of es-
tablishing the service will examine the
applicants named by the petitioners and
any others who may apply. The exam
ination will be extremely simple and
practical, only sufficient to test the ap-
plicant's ability to read and write. 1t is
comprised in the filling out of an appli.
cation blank, on which are number OF
general questions. Only persons resid.
ing on or in the immediate vicinity of a
proposed route will be examined, and nc
applicants will be examined unless they
have the necessary equipment, horses
and wagon or cart, or can satisfy the
special agent that they are prepared t.
furnish this equipment if appointed
Persons under II or over 55 years Of age
will not be examined, but this age limit
does not apply to honOrably discharged
soldiers Or sailors of the Civil or Span
ish war. Besides applying to all new
appointments, the order formerly ap-
proved extends civil service protection
to about 5000 rural free delivery carriers
now in the postal service.
