NOT DUE TO CLIMATE,


Catarrh is at home anywhere and ev-
erywhere. While more common in cold
changeable climates, it is by no means
confined to them, but is prevalent in
every state and territory in the union.
The common definition of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head, which If long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing; but there are many
other forms of the disease, even more
obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as ma
sal catarrh and generally more diff
cult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis
ease and can only be successfully eradi-
Gated by an internal treatment. Sprays,
washes and powders are useless as far
as reaching the real seat of the dis
ease is concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use a new preparation, sold
by druggists called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
anti-septic qualities of the highest value
and being an internal remedy, pleasant
to the taste, convenient and harmless,
can be used as freely as required, as
well for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:
Every fall ] would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long and
every winter ii seemed to get a little
worse. l was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became effected to
such an extent as to interfere with my
public speaking.
81 tried troches and cheap cough
cures, and sometimes got relief, but
only for a short time, until this win
ter when I learned of the new catarrh
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through
a newspaper advertisement. Two fifty
cent boxes, which bought at my drug
gist's, cleared my head and throat in
fine shape, and to guard against a re-
turn of my trouble / keep box of the
tablets on hand, and whenever catch
a little cold take a tablet or two and
ward off any serious developments"
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as household remedy, to
check and break up coughs and colds.
because unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures these tablets contain no
opiate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

WATCHED A COUPLE KISS.
The Watcher, Was Mistaken for m

From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
New Orleans, Jan. 14.-Suit was
brought to-day by Clement Musset
against Eugene Decuers for $tZ5oO
damages for loss of the sight of one
eye. Musset is an athlete. He was
coming home from the French opera
late at night recently and saw a pass
ing couple. The young man had his
arm around the girls waist and they
were Kissing ench other frequently and
rapturously. He slipped into the shad-
ow of a piazza to watch the couple bet
ter and not to attract their attention.
He was curious to see who the young
woman was.
Mussett was so wrapt up in the kiss
ing that he did not notice that his pres
ence in front of the house where he
was hiding had aroused the inmates.
They thought that he was a burglar,
and sent boy. Dominick Decuers out
with pistol to run the supposed bur-
gar on. Dominick blazed away at the
hiding man. who did not even see him
approach. Musset was wounded and
fed without giving any explanations
When he got home he found that the
bullet had grazed his right eye, de-
stroying its sight completely.
It was not a serious wound, and Mus
set was soon out and started to work
again. lie found. however, that his
profession had been closed TO him. It
would not have made much difference
to him as clerk or in another pro-
fessior, but Musset is a trapese per-
former. performer who sees only
one side Of the trapese cannot Jump
from one to the other with any accu-
racy or safety. He is therefore, he
says, shut out for life from a profess
sion to which he has devoted years of
study and for which he is best fitted.
AS the assailaut is only boy he brings
suit against the father. Musset has not
yet discovered who the young woman
was whose kisses caused all the trou-
BILE.

comes as a most blessed promise. This
new discovery restores all men who
suffer with any form of sexual weak
ness, resulting from youthful folly, pre-
mature loss of strength and memory,
weak back, variCocela or cancellation of
parts. 1t gives the warmth, strength
and development just where Il Is need
ed, and cures at once all ills and trou-
bles that come of years of misuse of
functions, for IL has been an absolute
success In all cases. A simple request
to the State Medical Institute, 1929 Ell
ekton Building, Fort Wayne, Ind. will
bring you one of these free trial pack
ages. In plain wrapper without any
marks to identify It's contents or where
1t comes from. The Institute has had
so many inquiries from men who are
unable to leave home or their business
to be treated, that it has perfected
this splendid home treatment and sends
1t in free trial packages to all parts
of the world to show just how easy and
simple It is to be cured at home Of any
sexual weakness when this marvellous
new sexual discovery is employed. The
Institute makes no restriction on any
man who writes will receive by mail n

THE PAPAL ELECTION.

The Conclave Of Cardinals turned out
as Unexpectedly as many political con-
ventions, and the mantle of st. Peter
fell upon man who was the least prom
inent of the Cardinals and whom few be-
lieved had any chance of success. The
Sarto, Patriarch of Venice, receiving the
necessary two-thirds, and he has assumed
the title of Plus Y. He is 6S years old,
having been born in Italy in 1885, and
was created Cardinal in 1893. He has
reputation for great learning and lib
eral views, and his election is generally
satisfactory, because it is believed to
promise continuance Of the policy of
Plus TX, of peace with all countries, a
steady liberalization of the Church, and
an agreement between the Papal See and
Rome. All but a minority in the Toman
Catholic Church recognize that the
Church made wonderful progress under
the wise reign of Plus IN, and was lifted
to far more satisfactory condition than
it has enjoyed since Napoleon's time.
Consequently, they welcomed a decision
which turned down some of the more
radical among the Cardinals and gave
the supreme pontiffship to a man who is
likely to keep the Church in the same
course which it followed so adyanta geous-
ly in the quarter of a century that Plus
TX. held the helm.
