THOMAS J. LAMB SEEKING
TO REGAIN HIS LIBERTY

Attorneys Baldester and Smith asked
Yesterday for writ OF habeas corpus TO
test the validity OF the proceedings and
the District law under which Justice
Barnard Of the District Supreme Court
committed Thomas J. Lamb 10 ST. Eliza
beth's Hospital
The commitment was procured on a
petition presented by Mrs Edith W.
Lamb. the wife. which alleged that Lamb
was a Iunatsc of homicidal tendencies.
Lamb. through his attorneys, contends
that he is unlawfuly detained because no
was committed without trial by jury,
and because he was never a lunatic- The
petitioner was employed as a doorkeep-
er in the United states Senate at SAL
airy OF S1.44O a year.
Since the enactment Of the law in
question there has been much doubt as
TO its constitutionality. and attorneys
have frequently expressed surprise that
II has not been attacked before thin
time The law provides that persons
charged with insanity shall not be al
lowed hearing before a jury. and many
prominent members OF the District bar
believe that II will be declared uncou.
stitutional In case II Is tested.

Denying Sick Leave.

The department has denied some fifty
or sixty applications for sick leave. The
reason for this apparently harsh action
is that many OF the employees. some
three hundred or more, have made IT
practice in past years to take nearly
thirty days sick leave. This. combined
With their regular annual leave of
thirty days. makes them absent from
duty two months every year. or one
sixth OF the time. An examination
has been made OF the record OF
every clerk who appears to take
|, excessive sick leave, and when ap-
pIication is made by one OF them il
Is quietly denied. The average absence
for sick leave in a year in the Treasury
Department is four days for men and
six days for women.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
a Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In fts earlier stages catarrh is more OF
a nuisance than menace TO the general
health, but sooner or later the disease
extends to the throat, bro lchial tubes
and even TO the stomach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease OF the
mucous membrane. the local symptoms
being q profuse discharge OF mucus.
stoppage OF the nostrils irritation in
throat, causing coughing. sneezing. gag
ging and frequent clearings OF the throat
and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs salves. etc, often gives tempo
rary relief. but anything like cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance Of the in
fiammatiOn from the mucous surfaces
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed Of such val
liable remedies as Blood Root, Hydras-
tin. Red Gum and similar cleansing an
tiseptics, which cure by eliminating from
the blood and mucous surfaces the ca
tarrhal poison
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
Dleasant-tastinE IOZenges. taken inter

in the mouth: in this way they reach

mentary canal
