There is more catarrh 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 a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment. pro-
nounced 1t incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitution
al disease and and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
]. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, IS
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t Is taken internally In
doses from ten drops to teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case 1t fails to cure. Send for

Newspaper Proverbs.

S W. Gillian the funny man OF
the Baltimore American and secre-
tary of Newspaper Versifers and
Humorists, has coined the follow
Ing proverbs out of twenty years
experience.
The chap who tries hardest to
work a newspaper for special tav-
ors Is the one who never spends a
cent with 1t and Is not even sub
scriber.
The one who demands the
highest excellence In Typography,
subject matter and quantity of con-
tents does the least to help the
cause along.
The man who kicks most about
the inaccuracy of newspapers IN
general Is the one who does least
to assist In getting the facts accur-
a!ely when he has an opportunity
to do so.
The man who has 1t In for the
newspapers In general has had the
bitter truth told about him once by
unusually frank reporter and has
a big sore spot.
The man who brings in the long
est obituary of the late deceased,
was not a model husband always.
The woman who declares It's
none of the public's business and
she won't talk. so there" always
winds up by giving the reporter a
rafting good story so fast that he
can't take 1t down In shorthand.
The man who bess that his name
be left out of the list of DRINKS tor
fear 1t will hurt his mothers feelings
never considered that good lady's
sensibilities before In his life.
The men who spend the most
money with the paper kick the
least.
If you expect man to find q
compliment about himself, you
must put 1t on the front page In
bo]dface type.
If you put In one.line roast In
rcnpareil between two patent
medicine ads on the steenth page,
he'll find 1t and come hunting the
man who writ the piece.

LARGE HOTEL TO FACE
NEW UNION STATION
Will Be Built by Willard Hotel
Company at Cost of $500, 900.

Another large hotel is TO be added
to the already long list of pretentious
hosteIries. The new house will be erect
ed on the projected plaza opposite the
new Union Station, and will be built
by the Willard Hotel Company The
stockholders of the company have Sc
cured options. on the four squares facing
the contemplated station site, and have
formally discussed the character and
cost of the new building.
The hotel will be fireproof throughout
built substantially. though not exDen-
siveIy, and conforming in detail of arch
itecture to the general scheme of the
opposing Union Station. One of the OF
ficers of the Willard Company said yes
terday such hotel as was contemplated
could not be erected for less than $780,
600. while the cost finally decided upon
might reach s., 600, 600. or even more.
The new hotel will be so constructed
as to cater chiefly TO what is known as
the intermediate" trade-namely. that
class which cannot afford the highest
prices, but nevertheless demands first
rate accommodation. Suites will be ap-
portioned consisting of from one TO five
or six rooms and bath, with prices rang
ing from 81 to 50 per day up. The ma
terfaI used will probably be brick. with
stone front.
With the two new streets which viii
be opened up as approaches to the plaza,
there will be four irreguIarIy shaped IN
improved squares facing the plaza The
property Will be practically under the
control of the railroad companies own
ing interests in the Union Station
