The Catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucuous membrane of the
nose, throat and trachea tries to re-
lleve the system by secreting large
quantities of mucuos, the discharge

and after a time causing catarrh of the
stomach or serious throat and lung
troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal poi
son and remove the fever and conges-
tion from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien-
titically known as J1ucalyptol Guala-
col, Sanguinara and Hydrastin, and
while each of these have been success
fully used separately, yet it has been
difficult to get them all combined in one
palatable, convenient and efficient
form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tStIIIl cure, iNludTi > CaldTIll

chance of cure.
Last spring / read an account of
some remarkable cures made by
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and promptly
bought a fifty-cent box from my drug
gist and obtained such positive benefit
from that one package that I continued
TO use them daily until ! now consider
myself entirely free from this disgusting
annoyance of catarrh; my head is clear,
my digestion all I could ask and my
hearing, which had begun to fail as a
result of the catarrh has greatly i'm
proved until I feel I can hear as we'll
as ever. They are a household neces-

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for complete
treatment and for convenience, safety
and prompt results they are undoubted-
ly the long looked for catarrh cure.

The News of Carbondale.

How will the enemies of municipal
water reconcile this with their old cry
that the Ransom tract was no good?
Seriously though, do you believe or do
you think anybody could be found In
the whole city, who believes the Jer-
myn Water company would be dam
aged to the amount of $250,000, or that,
in other words, it is worth just that
amount of money to them? AS mat
ter of fact, the Pioneer Citizens Water
company own the Ransom tract, and
have a right to all the water except
that which flows through it at the low
est time in the year, which is very
small amount. The law for this can be
found in Vol. g. Penna District Re
ports, page 291. IT. however, there was
no stream of water running through it
at all, we could get,without the shadow
of doubt, all the water we want by
putting in the basin a number of arte-
sian wells.

EATING In HAVANA.
YANKEES Club Together.

In Havana it Is the custom to serve
only bread and coffee for breakfast. A
little colony of Americans that felt they
could not do their work until noon on
this kind of diet dubbed together and
began importing Grape-Nuts Breakfast
Food.
one of them writing about the mat
ter, says: 1.-The modern cooking range
d had never been known in Cuba until
the American occupation, and even now
they are scarce, so that ready cooked
food like Grape-Nuts recommends it,
self to start with; then the Yankees
We're accustomed to the food and felt
they could hardly get along without it.
They began buying in five case lots and
one by one the larger grocery stores
began Keeping Grape-Nuts in stock so
the business spread until now great
quantities of Grape-Nuts are used in
Cuba, and it is not only used by the
Americans but the other inhabitants
as we'll"
This is an illustration of the way the
famous food has pushed Itself into all
parts of the world. Wherever English
speaking people go they demand Grape
Nuts. phey can be found in South Af-
rica Egypt, India, China, Japan, Aus
tralia and South America.
Many Americans speak of the home
like feeling ii gives them TO see the
numberless busses in the streets of
London decorated with great blue
signs with the word, Grape Nuts :"
done in yellow letters, and all over
England the great purveying shops dis
tribute Grape-Nuts.
English roast beef has largely given
way to American roast beef, and the
old-fashioned English breakfast of
bacon and potatoes is now supplement
ed with Grape-Nuts and cream. The
change was made for reason. 1t has
been discovered that almost magical
power rests within the little granules,
and this power is set free in the body
that makes use of the famous food.

wheels of the church chariot, like the
old German women taking up a place
in the rear of their husbands. the war
riors. who We're battling against their
enemies. And when women like those
take up the battle woe unto the men
who would turn their faces to such an
invincible force; for they would be
sure to meet death at the hands of
their own better halves, should they
turn back in the midst of the fight.
At the meeting. Mrs. Kraft proved to
be a cheerful hostess to her Lutheran

THINKS CITY PLANT
ISA CERTAINTY
Opinion of L. A. Roberts, Leader in
Municipal Water Movement, Is
That Carbondale Will Have Its
Own Water System, Regardless of
Supreme Courts Decision-His
Statement.


l.. A. Roberts, who is the leader in
Che movement for municipal ownership
of water and the candidate for mayor
on the free water platform, is firmly
of the opinion that a city water sys-
iem is q certainty, regardless of how
the Supreme court may deal with Judge
Halsey's opinion. In a statement which
MIR. Roberts gave to The Tribune last
evening he says:
"At first blush, the opinion of Judge
Ialsey did not commend itself to me
as good law, and most certainly, not
Justice. l have been taught that COM
mon law is common sense, and is tax
en- from the Divine law. Judge Hal
sey's opinion, on the contrary, did not
read to me as having been taken from
any such source. A careful perusal Of
the opinion, however, very forcibly re-
minded me of the saying, that every
cloud has it's silver lining, and that this
opinion, contrary though it may ap-
pear to all such intentS and purposes,
has its silver lining also. Quoting from
the very meat OF his opinion, he says:
Then it is made lawful after twenty
wears from the introduction of the
water for the municipality to become
the owners of the water works by pay
ing the net cost of erecting and main
tanning the same with interest thereon
Mt the rate of ten per, centWn per an
mum, deducting from such interest,
however, any dividends heretofore de-
clared Here then plainly We're two
distinct methods by which the munich
pality could supply its citizens with
water
''Now then, If the Supreme court sus-
tains Judge Halseys opinion, we can
and will condemn the Crystal Lake
Water company, as prescribed in the
opinion which will give us this old and
established plant without a dollar of
expense. For after deducting all dlvi-
dends, the company would be in our
debt. This procedure was one of the
two ways recommended by eX-Judge
Rhone. If, however, the Supreme
court does not sustain the opinion, then
it must sustain us in the issuing of
S145,0OO bonds for the erection of q mu-
nicipal plant. In either case, the city
wins the fight, and the people are to be
congratulated on their victory.
In regard to Judge Halsey's opinion
on the Ransom tract, he says: The
taking of the Ransom tract by the city
In the erection of its plant, would be
taking a part Of the franchise of the
Jermyn Water company, which would
result in the undisputed damage to
them of $25OO00.' We always knew the
Ransom tract was valuable, but really,
we never knew it was worth $3.50, 900.
