THEORIES ABOUT cArARaH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
 Disease.

Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head was simple. but he claims very ef- fective in his own case; his plAn was to eat nothing whatever for twenty four hours or presumably until the trouble disappeared.
 Although not able to speak from per- sonal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment. 1t certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but 1t occurs to us that the application of it to a case of nasal caarrh might be attended with difficulties.
 Catarrh. as everyone knows, Is chronic cold in the head and Mr Twains treat ment, if 1t should become q fad, would rake of us nation of fasters; an army emulating the example of the immortal Tarrer who achieved wide fame by fast ing forty days.
 Catarrh Is certainly becoming q na- tioral disease. and here is little doubt but that errors in diet, par ticularly over eating. is very common cause.
 Most people. however. are more inter- ested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause. and modern medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies than MT. Twain's.
 Hydrastin is new remedy, very eff fective in some forms of Catarrh. Red Gum Is anotEer which on account of it's antiscptic properties is very valuable while many severe cases of Chronic Ca tarrh have been entirely cured by the sanguinaria or extract Of Blood root alone.
 Within year NY contemplating chemist has combined all ok these remedies in tab let form. palatdble and convenient, and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies Is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to supply the popular demand.
 They are called Stuarts Catarrh Tab- lets and 1t is doubtful if any medicine has achieved national popularity in so short time as this.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are used hv thousands of travelling men because thev can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity. being free from Cocaine. opiate or any poisonous drug
 They clear the head ands throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in few hours time.
 For nasal catarrh they are far superio,. to any wash. lotion or ointment the use of which is often as inconvenient and au- moving as the disease itself.
 For coughs. colds bronchial catarrh and catarrh of stomoch these tablets give immediate relief and permanent cure where lotions. touches and ihhaIers make no impression whatever.
 This preparation is a boon to catarrh suffer CTS, and any druggist will tell you that Staarts Catarrh Tablets is a rem edy that has come to stay.

EMBALMs TINE FOOD. A California Physician's Idea About
 Coffee.

A well-known California physician, John M. Read, of Bedding. Cal. main tains that coffee, when taken with the meals, has a tendency to ''embalm" or preserve" the food so that it will not digest. With this knowledge he has made many complete cures of indigestion. stom- ach troubles and nervous diseases by taking away the coffee and giving his patients Postum Cereal Coffee, which helps digestion.
 Dr. Reads theory is spoken of in a let ter from a gentleman of Oak F. O., Cal. who says: Twelve years of indigestion had made me so nervous and thin that could scarcely work I had noticed the newspaper articles about Postum Coffee hut didn't think seriously of the matter Finally. however. they impressed me and went to my family physician, Dr. John NJ Read. of Bedding. and asked him about Postum.
 He immediately recommended It, hay irg used it in his own and other cases for exactly the same purpose. Dr. Read is vall-known throughout Northern Cali forhia and he surprised me by the fol- lowing statement: Coffee acts in many cases like a large dose of alcohol taken after meals; it preserves me ioou so It cannot be digested.
 ,.T have great faith Tn Dr. Read and immediately commenced Postum with the resuIt that at the end of one month I was greatly improved and now. at the end of three months l am a we'll man, nerves steady and digestion O. k. Am gaining steadily in weight and can do hard days work.
 My brother who suffered from palpi- tation of the heart when drinking coffee, claims that his heart does not trouble him in the least when using Pustum.' Name furnished by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich

This omission. he said, made the bill imperative and he desired to have the bill recommitted to the Committee on Judiciary to nave the mistake corrected.

A Puzzled Man.
PHILADELPHIA Record.


Feminine reasoning is beyond me-" said
the married man. ION questions of women's
dress my wife doesn't look up to me as /
wish she could. She always asks my
opinion, however, and / must say fashions
are the limit this year. The first thing
she invested in looked like a mosquito net
ting that had seen better days. Just be-
cause the merchant gave 1t some freak
French name, though, she took 1t for good
money and no doubt considers me entirely
unworthy of her because / can't fiEd fiat
tering adjectives for IL. Now her sisters
got a dress. 1t looks like the crash they
use for stair carpeting after it is yellowed
with age. I'm not afraid of her sister, so
said Ii looked like an old wash rag. And
then, because ii had not been cut into and
/ thought she might exchange it. 1 showed
her what a botch the stuff was-it really
parts being four times as heavy as others.
She looked at me in superior way and
said that showed IL was real pongee.
Furthermore, it was the best quality, such
as not only Cinnamon wear, but also the
sort favored by English officers in the
tropics. She had another piece of silk very
decent in quality, and / told her she'd
make a hit If she put the real Chinese
blend out of sight and used the lining for
the outside. 1t took them both half an
hour to let me know that a fine looking
silk wasn't suitable for ordinary wear. 1t
seems 1t is wicked compared with wearing
it out of sight.
