1T is DOUBTFUL
If Local Applications Alone Ever Cured
A Case of Catarrh.

Most remedies for the treatment Of
catarrh are in the form of sprays, in
halers powders, washes or salves, all
purely local applications and many of
them often give temporary relief, but the
reason none of them ever really cure
chronic catarrh is because catarrh Is
not local disease and it cannot be cured
simply by treating the local symptoms.
Moreover the more serious forms OF
catarrn, like catarrl of the stomach ana
catarrh Of the bronchial tubes, cannot
be reached at all by local applications.
and the fact that neglected catarrh OF
the head very soon involves the bron-
! cnial tubes stomach and liver, Demon
strates that the disease is a blood dis
order, q constitutional malady and not
at all local disease
To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleaned from catarrhal poison
by an internal remedy which acts
! effectively upon the blood and liver.
The success of new catarrh remedy,
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. is because II
drives out of the system, through nat
ural channels, the catarrhal poison and
the mucous lining of the nose, throat
and trachea are freed from the exces-
sive mucus which collects and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagging, be
cause the excessive secretion is not fur
nished from healthy blood
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many
of the same valuable antisepticS used IL
sprays and inhalers, but instead of be
ing applied to the inhamed membranes
of the nose and throat, they are taken
into the stomach and thus reach tho
blood he-real seat and cause of the
disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting lozenges, composed OF
Red Gum, Hydrastan, Blood Root anc
similar catarrh specifics, and so safe tt
use that little children suffering from
colds take them with same beneficial
results as adult persons.
No trace of cocaine or opiates, so com
mon in catarrh medicines, can be fount
in Stuert's Catarrh Tablets.

REJECT COMMANDMENTS.
Denver Minister Says They Are Out

Denver, Col, Oct. 30.-Just where a con-
troversy among the Baptist ministers of
the city regarding the ten commandments

ent. There was a heated discussion Of the
subject at the Baptist ministers meeting
this morning.
Rev. Joshua Gravett of Galilloe Baptist
church considered thoroughly orthodox in
all his preachings and methods. said he
would not for the world have copies of the
con- ma n1nents placed about his church,
and also said that should man brca k
one of the commandments it would not
necessarily mean his eternal damnation or
anything approaching it
He explained to his fellow ministers
that the commandments were given as a
law for he Israelites. and that they should

that the spiritual grace of the people of

New Testament and not through that Old

A FORGOTTEN ART.
Greek Indians No Longer Skilled in
Manufacture of Earthenware.

Civilization has caused the making of
baskets and. earthenware vessels to be-
come a lost art among the Creek In
dians who in early days were skilled in
their manufacture. The small cost of
these articles at stores made tl-eir pur-
chase more desirable than the toll of
weaving and moulding them at home
The baskets and pottery were made ex-
clusiveiy by the women.
Early in the spring, when the sap was
rising in the trees. the clay was ripe
or in condition just adapted to the use
of the potter. 1t was dug and placed
where other soil would not mix with it.
Spring water and pulverized museel
shell were added to it. and the women
were ready for work.
Jars were built up from the bottom
The rOughnesS was removed by rubbing
the jar with a stone. After the jars were
burned in the kiln they were allowed to
cool gradually. The interior of the jars
was polished with pebbles. The exterior
was never perfectly smoothed. and was
ornamented with crude figures and char
acters. Many jars were broken in the
process Of burning. The finished YES
sells withstood the hottest fires and
were the only cooking utensils of the
Creeks.
Alice NJ. Robertson supervisor OF
schools in the Creek nation, in a report
to the superintendent of schools, said:
THE Greeks long ago were a very
industrious people, and skilled in primi-
tive manufactures. The men titled the
ground and wrought in wood and metal
and the women wove fabrics of cotton
on rude upright looms like those still
used by the Navajo. The women also
made garments of buckskin. TheiI
beadwork was of unique beauty, anc
they were skilled in pottery and bas-
kerry. Scarcely a woman is now living
who can make pottery. The stone jar
from the traders shop has taken the
place of the great ollo-shaped earther
'Ahi-kus-wah,' standing in the chimney
corner with its generous supply oil
'sofkey,' the national dish made from
corn. which is both food and drink to
the Creeks. In my travels among the
people l have given especial attention tc
native industries, because of the very
general consideration which this sub
/ ject is receiving in connection with
manual training. While many Greer
women still understand basketry, il
does not seem practicable to revive this
| industry. The material they use is long
| flexible strips split from the outer sur
face of cane stalks. In the. Creek ma
ton the herds of cattle have long since
destroyed the formerly dense cane
brakes and only in remote wilds of th'
Choctaw nation can the bamboo-likt
growth be found. st. Louis Post
