cheering in these climatic changes,
 for with the return of cold weather, all the disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh appear: binding headaches, dizziness, a stuffy feeling about the nose that makes breathing difficult, chest pains, and as the disease progresses, e discharge of nauseat- ing matter from the throat and nose keeps one continually hawking and splitting.
 Catarrh is a most disgusting disease. The foul mucous secretions that are con- stantly dropping back into the stomach contaninate and poison the blood and is distributed throughout the body, and 1t then becomes a deep-seated, systemic, persistent disease that must be treated through the blood, for it is beyond the reach of sprays, washes, powders or ex. teYnal treatment of any kind.
 S. S/S. soon clears the system of all Catarrhal matter and purges the blood of the irritating poisons, thus effectually checking the further progress of this seri- ous and far reaching disease.
 Look out for Catarrh in winter, for cold stirs the blood and causes excessive secre- ton of mucus and brings to life all the slumbering poisons that make Catarrh

 The City Democratic Executive Com mittee will meet at noon tomorrow to call the primary election for the selection of Democratic candidates for municipal of fees. Felix Wood Is chairman and Hen " Franelich is secretary of the commit tee. Public opinion seems to favor the hold ing of the primary at an early date, and 1t Is expected that the committee will de- eide upon day between the middle and the last of February. Several who are regarded as candidates for nomination by the party have expressed themselves as being against long campaign.
 The campaign promises to be quiet. Present conditions indicate that most of the present city officials who desire to succeed themselves will have little opposition. William J Smoke. who wishes to be reelected sanitary officer. is the only candidate who has formally an- nounced himself, but local politicians have set aside Saturday next as ''candi- dates day" and most of the aspirants for hor or and ermolument will doubtless formally present their names to the peo- pie on that day

to Stephen A. Douglas.
Johnson came originally from Marietta,
Ohio. but had lived several years at Owa-

politics in 1882 when he ran for the legis-
