the other had some scheme uD its sleeve
and that trap was being set. In the
original proposition there was nothing
said about putting the depot on Peabody

the Southern wished to put the building
out in the street and to place four year
limit on the suits pending.

THE SEABOARD'S PROPOSITION.
BY this time the rumor that the two

Popular Ideas Regarding Catarrh.

Popular Ideas Regarding Catarrh-
II is the common belief that what is
popularity known as catarrh is simply
a chronic cold in the head. This Is true
as far as 1t goes. but as a matter of
fact catarrh IS by no means confined
TO the nasal passages, but extends
wherever the mucous membrane extends,
which means nearly every part Of the
body.
The mucous membrane is the inside
skin OF the body and IS nearly as ex-
tensive as the outside skin, and any
Inflammation Of this membrane caUs-
ing an extra secretion Of fluid is really
catarrh.
Catarrh IS. therefore. an old enemy
disguised by many confusing flames, for
instance Rhiuijis is nasal catarrh:
laryngitis and pharyngitis throat ca
tarrh gastritis, stomach catarrh;
cystiJis and nephritis, catarrh OF the
bladder and kidneys.
Therefore. although the location of the
trouble gives IL various names. in reality
he sum total Is catarrh and nothing
else.
DO not make the mistake OF thinking
you have no catarrh because the head
and nose appear 10 be clear. II there
hoarseness you have throat catarrb, II
there is no appetite. but nausea. gag
ging and disgust for food especially IN
the morning, you have catarrh OF the
stomach.
The surest treatment for every form
OF catarrh is an external remedy. which
acts especially on the blood and mucous
membranes; such a remedy Is the new
preparation sold everywhere by drug
gfsts under the uame OF Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. a medicine I'm pleasant
tablet form and containing all the best
and latest specifics for catarrh.
Stuart g fCatarrh Tablets contain in
highly concentrated form. blOOdrOot, red
gum Of The Eucalyptus tree, and many
others equally valuable curative elc-
ments. and no one who suffers from any
form OF catarrh and has seen the in
efficiency OF douches, sprays and powders

SUN NEVER SETS ON
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

The sun never sets on the English
flag has been the boast Of the Briton
for many years. The citizens OF the
United States can make the same
boast today. A few statistics show
that the meridian dividing east and
west extremities Of United States ter
ritory passes through the Hawaiian
Islands very near Honolulu.
The west point OF the United states
territory is on the coast Of Maine. 81
degrees west. and the east point is in
the philippines at IL degrees east.
From tip TO tip therefore, the United
states extends 176 degrees, or within 4
degrees Of half the circumference OF
the earth. Thus, as the last rays OF
the setting sun fall on the coast Of
Maine the dawn is breaking in the
Philippines.
