ois'eesses msr shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, oi
Fergus Falls, Mimi. fell and dis.
located her shoulder. She had a
surgeon get it back in place as
soon as possible, but it was quite
sore and panied her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and sore.
ness, and she asked him to buy
her bottle of it, which he did.
1t quickly relieved her and en-,
abled her to sleep which she had
not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many
others. For sale by all druggists.

There is more CatarTh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until. the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For 2
great many years doctors pro.
nounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced It in
durable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional di.
sease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ]
Cheney 4 Co.. Toledo, OHIO, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood
aud mucuous surfaces Of the sys.

Cban.berlain,s Fiscal Policy.

London. June 9.-There was large
attendance at the House of Commons
today in anticipation of the debate on
the financial bill and the possibility OF
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's zoll-
verein policy coming up for discussion.
The speaker said that the discussion OF
ChamberIain's fiscal policy would not be
relevant to the financial bill, about 10
be discussed. Mr.. Chaplin, leader OF
the protectionists, moved resolution
against the repeal of the corn duty and
warmly attacked the chancellor of the
exchequer Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the author of the corn tax, said he had
proposed it as fiscal measure. Though
he and his colleagues knew it might be
unpopular, it had nevertheless been a
success. Chancellor Of the Excheque,
Ritichie announced that he would be
unable to support Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain zollverein scheme.
Chancellor Richie justified the re-
movaI of the corn tax by stating that its
removal was beneficial to the poor con-
sumers. 1t was imposed, ne said,
merely as a temporary war tax.

The War department is doing everything
in its power to relieve the distress occasioned
by the recent serious floods in the west ana
south. After receiving an appeal from the
Citizens Committee of Kansas City, Mo, or
ders we're issued from the department for the
assembling Of supplies at Forts Riley and
Leayenworth to meet every possible demand.
Later. however, the commanding oiicer
at Fort .Leavenworth reported that after a
conference with the Mayor Of Kansas City It
had been concluded that no further issue OF
supplies was necessary and that the Kansas
townes we're now able TO supply food for the
people of the stricken districts. The Citizen's
Committee at Spartenburg, S. c.. reported
that l0, 900 people were without employment
and food in that county as result OF Hoods
and that their necessities were urgent. Inc
War Department at once directed the Com
manding General Of the Department OF inc
east TO send relief in the way of rations ana
medicine enough to save life and meet the
immediate demands.
