PORTANT
To KnOwsWhat You Are TAX
ing When Using Catarrh
Medicines

| Catarrh is the short route to con.
sumption, and the importance of early
and judicious treatment of catarrh,
whether located in the head, throat
or bronchial tubes, cannot be too
strongly emphasized
The list of catarrh cures Is as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numer.
Gus and confusing, from sprays, In.
halers, washes, ointments, and salves
TO powders, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and effective, but
with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies 1t is almost entirely a matter

ing into your system, as the propri-
etors, while making all sorts of claims
as TO what their medicines will do,
always keep It a close secret as to
what they are,
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because II not
only cures catarrh, but because ca.
tarrh sufferers who used these tablets
know what they are taking into their
systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be-
ing composed of Red Gum, Blood
Root and similar valuable and anti.
septic ingredients, and are pleasant to
the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucuous lining Of the throat
nasal passages and whole respiratory
tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advan.
tage Of knowing what you are putting
into your stomach is of paramount
importance when it is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit
has been frequently contracted as the
result OF using secret catarrh rene,
dies
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, be.

DIVORCE
EVIL
SPREADING
Nearly One third as Many
as Marriages
Granted in the State Of
California

San Francisco. Dec. 2O.-Divorce and
marriage statistics just compiled by
the scripps News Association from the
official records of this city show an
interesting state OF affairs. The ngures
prove concluslvely that the NUMBER Of
divorces In San Francisco during the
year will almost reach 80 per cent OF
the marriages for the same period.
There were 1,272 divorces and 4.SO9
marriages. The predominant causes
for divorce. in the order mentioned,
were desertion, failure to provide. cru
city intemperance inhdelity. There
was one for lack Of money and one for
incapacity.
January showed the lowest number
of divorces. 81, and October the highest
number. 1877.
In the number OF marriages, Novem-
ber was the highest month with 44S.
February was the lowest. with only
25s.
on account Of the alarming increase
in divorces here, the last session OF the
California legislature passed law
prohibiting divorced persons from
marrying again in the state within one
year after divorce. and this law takes
nearly 500 marriages away from the
city every year These go to Reno.

AN APPEAL FOR N
Money Need for the Nebraska Exhibit
at IOuis,

NJ Louis.
To the citizens OF Nebraska: The
Louisiana purchase exposition at St.
Louis, Mo-, in 1903, will celebrate the
one hundreth anniversary of the pur
chase from France OF the Louisiana
territory. by this peaceful transac-
tion the area of the United States was
more than doubled. The rapid devel-
opment Of this territory during the
past century has nc parallel in history.
The United States government has rec
ognized the importance of the great
exposition which will commemorate
the event of the acquisition of this
territory, by an appropriation of five
million dollars. The city of st. Louis
has appropriated an equal amount, and
the citizens of that city have subscribed
ten million dollars more. In all there
has been appropriated and subscribed
more than twenty-five million dollars
at this date.
Nebraska is one Of the most popu-
lous and important states In this ter.
ritory, but no appropriation has been
made to dcfray the expenses of an cx-
hibit of it's resources at this exposition.
Four years ago the trans Mississippi
and information exposition, which
brought great credit TO this STATE, was
literally ~patronized by every state in
the union and by private subscriptions
or public appropriations was assisted
by nearly every state in the west.
Recognizing the Importance of the
Louisiana purchase exposition, the
many reason why Nebraska should be
represented and the necessity for i'm
mediate preparation, the governor has
appointed the undersigned commission,
without remuneration to raise the nee
cssary funds by private donations and
to prepare and place on exhibit n prop
err representation Of the products and
u OF this state. We appeal to
all patriotic citizens of Nebraska, to
corporations, both public and private,
to all interested in the welfare and
prosperity of this state, and to all who
have pride in it's past and hope for its
future achievements, to assist in this
worthy enterprise. The credit and
state pride of our commonwealth APP
peals to all patriotic citizens to do their
duty in this emergency, and we ask
for n liberal response, to the end that
Nebraska may DC properly represented
at this great exposition. All contri-
buttons or future pledges should be
sent to Mr.. Il. Il. Bruce, treasurer,
Omaha, Neb.
All newspapers in Nebraska are re.
questcd to publish this appeal.
