There is hardly a man who does
not believe that old wine is the best
wine, yet a short time ago some ca

vintage of 1911. and the wine was
found to be utterly worthless. 1t

Wine experts and wealthy connois-
seurs had come from great distances
to buy the wine at any price, and
were edited upon opening it to find
it was as fiat as soda water. In the

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, AMI until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treat

tured by f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

Whatever the opinion Of railway
men, however, tits known for a GER
tainty that the Orient people at one
time did consider seriously extend
ing their line to Mexico city, but by
no means TO make an air line of it.
To effect that end an option was
some time ago taken on the Coahuila
and Pacific, running from Torreon
to Saltillo. This was one of the
initial steps IN a carefully laid plan.
The proposition was TO extend
the line of the Orient from some
point vest of Chihuahua to Parral,
thence southwark to Torreon, and
50 on over the acquired Inns of the
Coahuila and Pacific to Saltillo.
From this point on the National
railway, it was purposed to build
to Tampico, and from
Tampico, TO Mexico city, running

River held a special meeting last night to
consider the advisabiiity OF bringing ac-
ton against Patrick j. Mansfield for not

in the first place that the caucus officer

again that he did not know that ne had
to sign the nomination papers. The ex-
planattons which he gave are not satisfac-
tory TO the city committee and they talked
over the plan of bringing Mansfield 10

This plan was carefully considered and
freely discussed before President Andrew
