An English Author Wrote:

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no
flowers, no leaves, November" Many
Americans would add no freedom from
catarrh, which is so aggravated during
this month that it becomes constantly
troublesome. There is isabundant proof
that catarrh is q constitutional disease.
1t is related to scrofula and consump-
tion, being one of the wasting diseases
Hoods Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating scrofula
completely curer catarrh, and taken in
time prevents consumption. We can
not see how any sufferer can put off
taking this madeleine, in view of the
widely published record of its radical
and permanent cures. 1t is undoubt-

Thieves who operate in daylight are
not so hard to netect. 1t is the sneak
thief who comes at night and takes
your valuables while you are asleep
who is hard to catch. Nothing is more
valuable in life than health, and the
thief who would steal health is most to
be feared. Officer I. M. Wilson was
recently assisted in catching such a
thief and just in time to save himself.
The story is thus told in his own words;
Il have for long time been suf-
ferer from backache and other forms
of kidney disorders. For the most of
the time the symptoms consisted of a
dull acking pain in the small of the
back, very noticeable whenever I stop
ped or bent over, and if | took slight
cold it always settled in my back and
kidneys increasing the pain. Doan's
Kidney Pills came to my notice and l

1t was to the effect that the demands

In speaking of the strike last night
Mr. Cassell said: "Ten men, the drivers

CURED on that account. When asked as
to its direct cause and as to whether
he thought any of the employees who
struck would be taken back. Mr.. Caszeu
said
The Pacific Express company has al
ways paid the same wages to its en-

in this city. The demand now, 1 under
