CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally
OVerlooked

| Headache is symptom, an indication
OF arrangement or disease in some or
| gan, and the cause of the headache is
difficult to locate because so many dis
eases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble, kidney dis
ease. lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fit
ting glasses, all produce headaches,
and if we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a 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 cataTrh of the
head and throat; when the headache is
located in back of head and neck
il is often caused from catarrh of the
stomach or liver.
At any rate, catarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure Of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new in
ternal remedy in tablet form, COM
posed of antiseptics like red gum, blood
root. which act upon the blood and
cause the elimination of the catarrhal
poison from the system through the
natural channels.
Miss Cora AinSley, a prominent school
teacher in one of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets as a cure for them: She
says: 4 suffered daily from severe
frontal headache and pain in and back
of the eyes, at times so intensely as
to incaDacitate me in my daily du-
ties. 1 had suffered from catarrh, more
or less, for years. but never thought
il was the cause of my headaches. but
finally became convinced that such was
the case, because the headaches were
always worse whenever l had a cold
or fresh attack of catarrh.
'Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were high
~ recommended to me as a safe and
pleasant catarrh cure, and after using
a few 50-cent boxes, which l procured
from my druggists, 1 was surprised
and delighted TO find that both the ca
tarrh and headaches had gone for
good
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents per package. un-
DER the guarantee of the proprietors
that they contain absolutely no CO.
came found in so many catarrh cures).
no opium $50 common in cheap cough
cures). nor any harmful drug. They
contain simply the wholesome antisep-
ties necessary to destroy and drive
from the system the germs Of catarrhal
disease.

I "Lalla-what?" she inquired. looking
! aggrieved. Isn't that a full house"
Full nothing" her husband said.
IT isn't anything; a pair of deuces
| 'ud beat it."
Then they all three deliberately ex-
| planned again to her the values of the
hands, and the game was resumed.
/ She dealt the hand herself. Her hus-
| band and the pal next to him stayed.
and she looked obviously at her hand
for long while. until the three men

She thought for some time longer.
and then she passed her hand despair
ingly across her forehead and said.

1 can risk it,"
she dished out the cards, and the
three men noticed that she only took
one herself.
What are you doing-bobbing to a
fiush?" they all asked her.
"Um-m," she replied.
Then the betting began again. When
1T got up to her she raised it the limit
again Again they all dropped their
cards and gazed at her.
Did you catch the other card and
fill that fush?" they all inquired of
her in a breath.

now" she replied How could L bluff

Then they an naturally concluded
that she hadn't filed her flush, and
they watched for her to drop out when
the betting was up to her again.
She didn't drop. They had all three
raised each other the limit. She raised
the three of them the limit.
MY dear" said her husband to her
then, you may know a whole lot about
making tides and doiIies and things,
but as pokerist you've got some
shortcomings. Can't you see that we

Thus she alienated sympathy from
herself, and the three men went on
betting. She stood every raise and
came back at them each time Her
husband was the first to call, and then
they all laid down their hands for a
look.
The hostess spread out her four
queens and raked in the pot
They all looked at her as IL they
thought there was something wrong
somewhere. The game went on for an
hour or so, and at the finish she had
all the money in the crowd, and her
husbands friends accepted the loan OF

Letter to Jno. st Clair.
7aze,UeU, Virginia.

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused by
short measure in paints, that are sold by
the "gallon," is worse than the loss by
the shortage Misled by the makers re-
presentations as to how far gallon will go,
you buy too little of every sort, and must
send for more In the midst of the work.
Besides, short-measure man is, doubt.
less, also cheater in other ways; his paint
is likely to cover perhaps two-thirds as
much as he says. This also you find out
while the work is going on, and the paint
ing must wait while you send for more.
Even this is not all, nor the worst. If
it wears half as long as he says, you are
lucky. You have the whole job to do
again in year or two; and perhaps your
paint is not really good for that short time.
One law of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch 'em. Another is
that liar lies wherever he can.
Look out for short measure. 1t includes
all the rest. Devoe lead and zinc is full
measure and pure and durable.
Yours truly,
So F. w. Devoe & Co.

MISS STONE FREE
Arrived at a Macedonian Town on Sunday
Morning.

Constantinople, February 23.-Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary
who. with Madame Tsilka, was captured
by brigands in the district of Solonia,
September 8. last, has been released and
arrived at Strnmitza, Macedonia, at 3
o'clock this morning.
Nobody was at Strumitza to meet Miss
Stone. as the brigands had given no in
dication where they proposed to release
the prisoners. Madame Tsilka and her
baby we're released at the same time. The
missionary, Madame Tsilka and the child
are all well.
Miss Stone Immediately made herself
known to the authorities at Strumitza.
The fret news of Miss Stones release
was contained in a telegram received by
Mr.. Dickinson, the American consul gen
eral at Constantinople, from the American
vice consul at Salonica. The telegram
gives no details of the release.
As Strumitza is near the Salonica. Askul
railroad, Miss Stone will proceed to Salon
lea without delay.
