Kisses over the Telephone.

A merchant from Uniontown talked
about telephones at the hotel where he
was stopping.
"In my town." he said. 'the telephone
company is going to raise the rates for
business phones from $25 to $40, and
for residence phones from SIS to $50.
Do you know why? 1t is to keep
sweethearts from monopolizing the
wires? 1t is to make telephones SO ex-
pensive that the young men and wom-

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF q New catnrrh Cure.


A large and constantly increasing ma.
jority of the American people are catarrt
sufferers. This is not entirely the resul,
Of our changeable climate, but because
modern investigation has clearly proven
that many diseases. known by other
names. aye really catarrh. Formerly the
name catarrh was applied almost exclu.
sively to the common nasal catarrh, but
the throat, stomach. liver, bladder kid
neys. and intestines are subject to ca
tarrllal diseases as well as the nasal pas
sages.
In fact, wherever there is mucous mem.
brane there is feeding ground for ca
tarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers, snrays.
douches, or powders. have been practically
failures. Is far as anything more than
temporary relief was concerned because
they simply dry up the mucous secre-
tons. without having the remotest effect
upon the blood and liver, which are the
real sources OF atarrhaI diseases.
g It has been known for some years that
the radical cure OF catarrh could never
come from local applications. but from
an Internal remedy, acting on the blood
and expelling the catarrhal poison from
the system.
A new internal preparation which has
been on the market only short time, has
met with remarkable success as a gen
uine, radical cure for catarrh.
It may. be found In any drug store, sold
under the name of Stuart,s Catarrh Tab
lets, large pleasant tasting lozenges, COM
posed principally of antiseptfc ingredients,
Blood root Red gum, and similar catarrh
specifics.
