IMPORTANT FEATURES
OF Irish Land Bill Which Mean Much,
II Carried, to ireland.

London, March 27.-The text of the
Irish land purchase bill. which was
introduced in the House OF Commons
by the Irish secretary, Mr.. WyndharI.
Wednesday, was given out. today. II
occupies 80 pages of a parliamentary
paper and bristles with technicalitIes.
The full wording reveals many impor-
tant features which were not mention
bill was introduced.
All arrears Of rent due at the time OF
the purchase of land are recoverable by
the land commission and not the ar
rears for a year only, as previously
cabled. The land commissioners. how
ever. are given power In special cases
to remit part or all of tha arrears.
The commissioners are not permitted
to purchase estates which are noe
mainly agricultural or pastoral. thus
Ki)lerney is exempt under the clause.
In cases of untenated estates pur-
chased by the commissioners they are
empowered to expect the necessary
works of improvements. which ire
mendously enlarges the scope of the
commissions expenditure.
The commission is empowered to de-
clare sub-tenants to be tenants of any
holding occupied by them. which viii
vastly benefit undreds of people.
Fishing, sporting and mineral rights
will be vested in the commissioners
when an estate is purchased and can
he disposed of as the commissioners de-
eide.
The commissioners are also empower
ed to determine boundary and other
disputes between the proprietors of
holdings under the bill.
The commission has the first claim
to purchase bankrupt estates and can
resell them to tenants or use portions
of them for the repatriation OF cvicted
tenants. The latter point il regarded
as being one of the most vital features
of the bill.

ONLY PARTLY TRUE.
PopuIar Ideas Regarding catarrb.


1t is the common heller that what ia
popularity kr1OMn as catarrh is simnIv
chronic cold in the head. This is true
as far as it goes, but as a matter of
fact catarrh is by no means confined IN
the nasal passages but extends where
ever the mucous membrane extends.
which means nearly every part OF the
body.
The mucous membrane Is the inside
skin of the body and IL nearly as ex-
tensive as the outside skin, and any IN
iiammation of this membrane causing
an extra secretion of fluid is really Ca
tarrh.
Catarrh is. therefore, an old enemy
disguised by many confusing names
ior instance: Rhinitis Is nasal catarrh:
laryngftis and pharyngitis throat ca
tafrh' gastritis, stomach catarrh; cys-
tits and nephritis. catarrh of the blad-
der and kidneys.
Therefore although the location of
the trouble gives it various names, In
reality the sum total is catarrh and
nothing else.
Do not make the mistake of thinking
you have no catarrh because the head
ana nose appear to be clear? II there
Is a cough tickling in the throat ana
hoarseness you have throat catarrh. 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 mu-
cous membranes; such remedy is the
new preparation sold everywhere by
druggists under the name OF stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, medicine in pleasant
tablet form and containing all the best
and latest specifics fpr dhtarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain in
highly concentrated form, bloodroot.
red gum of the Eucalyptus tree, and
many others equally valuable curative
elements, and no one who suffers from
any form of catarrh and has seen the
inefficiency of douches, sprays and
powders will ever go back to them af-
ter once trying SO pleasant prepara-'
ton as Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and
one. which gives SO much relief In so
short time.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at 80 cts. for full sized package
and the regular daily use of them will
effiectually cure this troublesome and
dangerous disease,
