That is the terse advice we want to
give YOU about that hacking cough
or demoralizing cold with which you
have been struggling for several days,
perhaps weeks. Take some reliable
remedy for it to-day-and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty five years. A few doses of il
will undoubtedly relieve your cough
or cold, and its continued use for a
few days will cure you completely.
No matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands of appar

little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this
is known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently
from the system-this has been the de-
sire Of the medical profession for long
time. Forty years ago DR.. Hartman
confronted this problem. He believed
then that he had solved it. He still be-
lieves he has solved it. lie cures thou

upon which he has relied.

TSHERE are two things that the whole
Il medical profession agree about con-

tarrh is the most prevalentan omnipres-
ent disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
of people have it. Those who stay in
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
sedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and eyer-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon to treat
The second thing about catarrh on
which ali doctors agree, is that 1t is diff
ficult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
nanently. Sprays or snuffs amount to

Der OF the house OF representatives.
He talked around a little among the
new men and found that many of them
had come to a similar conclusion. Then
he had an inspiration. He organized
al the new members on the republic
can side into club. The idea was to
have dinner every little while at
which the youngsters who were unable
to get recognition at the capitol could
throw themselves little and raise
themselves out of the dull level OF
medioccity.
That was the origin Of the Tantalus
club. Powers was made president by
unanimous consent, for there has never
been anything like the formality Of an
election. It goes without saying that
the dinners Of the Tantalus club were
. tremendous success.
Now, in order to perpetuate 1t, Pow
ers has Unanswered so that all the
republican members Of the house new
to the present congress shall be eligible
to membership. They have all filed
applications and there will be dinner
pretty soon at which all Of them will
be present and duly initiated. Thus
the club will be in q position to per-
petuate itself through succeeding con-
crosses.

It has been costly luxury for
Powers to be a member of the
house. His professional income is
three or four times as great as his sal
airy as member Of congress, and while
he has been in Washington he has
spent not only his $4,000 salary, but a
goodly proportion OF the money he had
saved while practicing law. But even
though Powers abandons Washington,
his memory will still linger. To have
